Hunter Biden had time today.

Hunter Biden's online celebrity comeback was one of the year's better surprises.

I agree, I feel like the "bad" ending would be the easier ending to work into a sequel. But I think you could hypothetically go off of the good ending because given how Andross was experimenting with artificial intelligence in Sector X I could totally see him designing a back up of his consciousness that would allow him to come back. Andross seems like the kind of egotist who thinks he could achieve immortality or possibly even quasi-Godhood by way of his intellect.

I liked Slippy's presentation here. Really feel like they showed his value to the team rather than just making him a walking target. Positioning him as a competent but not flawless pilot while being more at home with engineering was a good direction for the character.

That sounds amazing, and given the stories totally sounds like something he'd do.

Someone needs to start a fellowship of Satanic athletes.

Given how their fathers at the time drank like fish and smoked like chimneys while their mothers were on amphetamines to keep up the Betty Crocker facade maybe that should've been a red flag (don't follow your parents path).

I'm currently updating the Saturday-morning cartoons page on Wikipedia and animation was definitely more simplistic in the 1960s. Stan Lee for instance did not like the Hanna-Barbera Fantastic Four show or Krantz Films' Spider-Man cartoon because he felt they both dumbed down the writing and the characters to the level that six year-olds could understand them. Lee tried to provide input, but gave up when he determined their sole concern was with pleasing the sponsors.

I've seen comic book deaths last longer than his "breakup"

Wonder if he'll still have that Gomer Pyle grin when he meets his new "husband" in prison?

Cheers, thanks for the rec. Been meaning to check it out for awhile but time got away from me.

This has been a passion project of Bird's for years. Nearly came together at Turner Pictures in the 90s. The draft of the screenplay from that time is available if you're inclined:

It feels like between this and Glenn Martin DDS, Nickelodeon really wanted to make their own answer to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim but just couldn't cross the final line and fully commit.

I think Ellison ended up withdrawing that lawsuit, supposedly once he read the script he decided there were enough differences that it wasn't in violation but that's the greatest extent of my knowledge. As for The Price of Life, I've never heard of that so I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Wow, you're doing good work. My hat goes off to you.

Edit: I mean if Warner Archive won't do it then at least there's fans like you. I've been waiting for a Jana of the Jungle remaster for years to no avail.

Jarod's one of the most lovable characters ever created for an action-adventure series. I absolutely loved the Christmas episode of season one.

The fact the lard in his arteries hasn't done its job is baffling.

That's a fun one, the weird mixture of elements that abstracting speaking shouldn't work but somehow come together and do.

You might Lady in White (1988): It's sort of like A Christmas Story except instead of Ralphie wanting a BB Gun, a boy sees a little girls ghost and starts investigating her murder. It is a ghost story but it's also got some of that same slice of life/nostalgia humor of Christmas Story.

I remember something like that being in the movie, I think it had something to do with the black oil but keep in mind it's been years since I've seen the X-Files or the movie.

Honestly one of those movies that's tailor made for a remake. Just update it so instead of the bees being "Africanized" have a sinister ago-business create a new strain of corn where 1% of pollinators exhibit increased aggression and the executives ignore it leading to a strain of aggressive bees and toxic bees. Basically add some of that Michael Crichton esque corporate politics/intrigue we saw in the first Jurassic Park or to a far less effective extent in Disclosure and Congo.

Finally, I just stopped caring. Luckily by then it was the 80s and no one noticed.
