TV/Movies Megathread

[Barrister]

Me too, it was a very fun movie.  Makes me want to see In Brugges.

You definitely want to see In Bruges.

Half watching here comes the Boom right now. Only highlight is Bas Rutten so far.

How can you even mention canon in regards to the Superman property?

Ask Bryan Singer on how Superman III and IV are canon.

Why would I care about what Bryan Singer thinks about anything?  He's retarded.

Besides, my whole point is that the Superman continuity is so mangled that it's wide open for creators to take or leave whatever they like.

Then don't make that case for superman stories which are designed to be at odds with superman as we know it. Making him a deadbeat dad or a communist party loyalist is making him act against what we already know about his fixed character. It's the equivalent of making Robin Hood a greed land owner or the little matchbook girl a pine and sulpher magnate.

[Neil]

No, I'll make the case for anything and everything.  We know Superman can act immorally if he chooses, and we know that Superman is extremely loyal to whatever ideals he is imprinted with.  If his ship had crashed in Russia, he certainly would have been a loyal Communist.

[The Brain]

He did rule the USSR.

Hitting on your ex and someone's current girlfriend = Communist party loyalist?

You realize nothing Superman did or did not do in Returns was actually immoral, right?  At worst he neglected his son; but he had no notice.

Now that would've been cool.  Truth, Justice and Collectivist Farming.

Like Viking sed, exactly this happened in a neat little Elsewords miniseries, featuring three of the few examples of non-cynical, non-ugly comics by writer Mark Millar.

I may have to check that out.  Superman as a hero for the real people as opposed to using his powers to maintain and protect the false construct of the predatory capitalist society intrigues me.

Ugh move to Russia already. I hear you can see China from there and keep track of what they are up to.

[Ideologue]

Unfortunately, the great socialist experiment was strangled in the cradle by the reactionary forces of Adolf Hitler and Ronald Reagan.

[CountDeMoney]

Yeah, they took all the romance out of it.

This is the most beautiful thing ever written on languish.
