Fantastic show. All around fantastic.
Barry is excellent. I was hooked almost immediately.
The latest Bosch is real good.

Pretty late to the party here, but just saw Into the Spider-Verse on a plane on the way home from a family vacation. Hands down the best Spiderman movie of all time, and it’s not even close. Years from now it will still hold up, and we’ll have completely forgotten Tobey Garfield and Andrew Holland.

I think there’s a strong argument that it’s the best superhero movie, period. It’s either that or Dark Knight.

Top 3 at a minimum. I thought Logan was pretty incredible, too.

It’s always left out of these conversations but the original Superman should always be considered.

Very true. Remember seeing it in a great old threater in Houston when I was a kid. The Windsor I think it was called on Richmaond near 610. Long gone now.
The Windsor Cinerama. We used to go there when I was a kid to see a lot of the blockbuster 70mm super panavision wide screen releases.

I think this one suffers from a generational lack of awareness. It’s impossible to understand, now, how ground-breaking a movie it was for its SFX, when these days it’s eclipsed on the regular by any number of low rent streaming TV shows.
It was a reboot of the Superhero genre the same way Marvel re-rebooted the genre with Iron Man. It deserves strong consideration for Top 3 status.

I grew up with “Superman” re-runs. We knew it looked fake when he jumped out of the window but we didn’t care. We knew we could make it look “more real” and would practice jumping out a (first floor) window until Mom saw and had a conniption.
Also, somehow, when I said “Mom, don’t have a conniption” it only made the situation worse.

I hate that Bill Cosby turned out to be a horrible human being, because his description of a “conniption” is still one of the funniest damn things I’ve ever heard

I have the same dilemma with Louis CK’s description of being poor.
Rumors of his activity were so outrageous that I thought there was no possibility of truth.
Now, I believe almost anything…

Comedian who jokes all the time about jerking off on people, actually jerked off on people. I know stand-ups draw their comedy from real life, but that’s a bit much.

It was simultaneous so supremely stupid and disgusting that it’s hard to imagine anyone doing it, let alone a famous public figure.

Weinstein used to jerk off into pot plants. Famous people are fucked up.
So are not famous people.

Anybody who didn’t run around the house in their pajamas with a dish towel tied around their neck missed out. We jumped off the bed of my father’s pickup.
