They covered a lot more ground with the Punisher than I expected them too, as I think they'd already announced that they were considering a spin-off, so it was surprising to have him already meet up so soon with who I'm sure will be his main adversary eventually. Elektra really hasn't done a lot for me though. Again, I'm not too big on the ninja stuff.

I like the season as a whole (I'm on the second to last episode), but is it just me, or is Daredevil on his own chasing down ninjas the least interesting part?

Anyone that's been waiting for it since the show started would know, I would think. THERE'S BEEN A T-SHIRT.

Is anyone else watching season 2 of Daredevil yet? Jon Bernthal's Punisher is pretty fucking fantastic and episodes 3 and 4 are like the best episodes of anything ever. Just starting episode 5 now...

Douglas Quaid from "Total Recall", is pretty unbelievable, but only because I'm comparing him to the only other Quaids I've heard of.

I'm sorry, but you forgot Luc Devereaux (if you don't buy him as Cajun) from the "Universal Soldier" series. I didn't even have to look it up. They're THAT great...except for "The Return". That one can go fuck itself.

I have a friend like that that's a wrestler that LOOKS like a wrestler that's probably in the best shape of anyone I've ever met, where you'd have no reason to call the guy out on his appearance, but I'm always like "Your perfect cheekbones make you look fat" or "Would it kill you to do a sit-up once in a while, you lazy son of a bitch?".

I think maybe Phoenix dropped out a bit too early to make a call.

Wow, that was fucking stupid. Not bonkers or insane, JUST stupid. Most of it is just clips from the movie with stuff from other places that just really, really doesn't look like it belongs. I like how they literally just used the title cards that were already there, and then tacked on what was essentially "...until now!". If it was a real physical thing, it would have been scotch taped onto it and written in crayon. Jesus, and System of a Down...

"Okay, you want me to say I was wrong about my MA geography? I was wrong about my MA geography, okay?"

We're quickly approaching the twentieth anniversary of Todd McFarlane telling us what's going to be in this hypothetical second Spawn movie. Unlike Rob Liefeld, he didn't really have a hand in creating any other characters that are getting a lot of attention, so no one's really banging down his door to turn his characters into movies. For being one of the most successful Image guys post-Marvel, he's really contributed very, very little outside of Spawn.

I would guess that they just shot both versions.

I'd forgotten that the subject of code names had come up, and as you correctly mentioned, it was most common with the bigger films, but even then, it was kind of pointless. It wasn't like they tried to pass it off as a REAL film that would fool anyone, because it was always something totally phony that MIGHT have a pun or reference in it. "Oh shit, I was totally going to steal this theater's prints of 'Lord of the Rings', but it looks like they're getting three screens of this OTHER three hour movie called 'Deadly Jewelry' that I've never heard of that apparently starts on the same day". My theater only does digital now, with movies now remotely uploaded to our server (we used to get hard drives shipped to us every week), and I don't recall any code names since the switch EXCEPT for the "10 Cloverfield Lane" trailer a couple months back, where they went so far as to even call it something else in the file name.

Another one I see a lot is "Celebrity Family Connections That Will Blow Your Mind!" That almost always features Jamie Lee Curtis, who I'm pretty sure was introduced to the world AS Janet Leigh's daughter.

No mention at all, especially during all the talk of the lame final fight, about all the horrible editing and continuity? It rains a lot in this movie, and the rain disappears and reappears constantly within scenes.

I've seen two and a half of the Underworld movies, and this is the least worst one I've seen.

Yeah, that was one of the ridiculous ones, like if you're going to do a list like that, it doesn't need to include people that A) have been on the scene since they were children and never left that B ) look exactly like their younger selves anyway.

On the subject of child actors that got hot, I kept seeing an article pop up on different sites that said something like "You won't belieeeeeeeeeve what these former child stars look like now", accompanied by a picture of Natalie Portman or someone that I know I've seen AT LEAST a time or two since they were kids. Anyway, I check out the article (strictly for research, I assure you) and quickly learn that "got hot" means that they stopped wearing glasses, that they got the braces off, that they got a haircut that wasn't indicative of the time when they were popular, or that they simply became adults. Some of them were mildly surprising because there were some real one-hit wonders that I hadn't seen in 20 years, while others (like the blonde side character in Harry Potter) were people that literally grew up right in front of our eyes that have maybe been off of the mainstream radar for a couple of years. Other ridiculous related lists: "What do the guys from your favorite emo bands look like now?" (Spoiler alert: Haircuts) and "What do Game of Thrones stars look like in real life?" (Also haircuts, and they look like they shower)

It's been a decade since I've seen this, so I don't remember if they mention the time of year at all, but they are all turning 18 soon, so I assume they're in the middle of their senior year, correct? Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to switch schools in the middle of senior year? It's not like the girl just moved there from the other side of the country or something. It can't be cheap to go to that place, so why bother jumping when you're so close to the end? At that point, you're just buying yourself the right to say that you graduated from this super prestigious private school.

And of course Tim Allen is the TV dad of JTT. BOOM. This practically makes Caleb and JTT stepbrothers.

I forget what I was looking for, but I stumbled across the "Punisher: War Zone" episode a few years ago and was hooked. I believe "Leprechaun in the Hood" was the most current episode at that point, but I quickly caught up on everything else through the back catalog.

Between "Red Dawn" and "Real Genius", there may have maybe been twenty total minutes between 1985 and 1989 when neither of those movies were on TV.

I have no rival, no man can be my equal!

On a somewhat related note, TODAY is the 30th anniversary of the release of "Highlander", which like several other movies (I'm looking at YOU, "Iron Eagle" and "Flash Gordon") is perfectly okay, but not nearly as great as the Queen music contained within!

It's okay. I saw it just once almost a decade ago and remember too much, so I'll carry the burden for us all. I deserve a holiday or something.
