I could never read Superior Spidey's lines in anything but a bombastic teutonic accent and kept wondering how no one could tell it wasn't really Peter.

"Okay, Drax, you swing your axe and do 2d6 of damage."

"I do not have an axe."

"No...no, your character swings his axe."

"Does he have an axe?"

"Yes. Yes, of course he does."

"Well, how am I meant to know this?!? Where is he, anyways? I do not see him!"

"That's him there."

"That is a small plastic figurine."

"That's your character."

"I do not like this game."

As someone who grew up watching Bleu Nuit in Quebec during the 80s and 90s I can tell you quite confidently that Emanuelle is Canada's version of Emanuelle.

I used to really dig him. I thought Dogma was awesome. Then Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back happened and I realized that his career was basically a cult of personality where being lazy and constantly stoned were virtues. He really doesn't seem to have any interest in growing or evolving as a person, as a writer, or a filmmaker.

Ironically I thought (and still think) that Chasing Amy was his most honest, heartfelt-seeming movie, probably the closest he's ever come to progressing as an artist.

You know how when you're stoned and you have these great, revolutionary, world-changing ideas only to realize they were complete poo poo when you sober up? Well, at this point Kevin Smith's entire career is predicated on him never sobering up.

Well here is what happens when he sobers up!

I think we have to shift our definition of "sober" quite a bit when reading that quote. In this case, it basically means "still totally loving stoned but not so cataclysmically stoned that you write a scene where Batman pisses himself and honestly think it's a good idea".

That and the guy's famously lazy. I imagine him waking up from a weed-fueled bender, reading the "Batman pisses himself" scene and thinking, "Jesus, what the gently caress was I thinking?!? I can't submit that! But...ah, poo poo, that'd mean I'd have to re-write a bunch of stuff. gently caress it, it's good enough."

I've never had In-n-Out, but the Five Guys near me is gross. The burgers are so greasy that the bun is basically paste by the time I get to the table.

Buried proved that Reynolds has hella serious acting chops, too. I think he (or his agent) just has a tendency to play it safe and stick to the wise-cracking rear end in a top hat roles.

At this point there are probably lengthy backstories to the background characters in the stories about background characters. Like, the ugnaught that Ice Cream Maker Guy brushed past while making his escape is featured in his own short story, where it's revealed that he's the last ugnaught Jedi. Then the vendor who sells him coffee in his story has his own short story about how he's Chewbacca's dad or something.

I just started reading Spider-Man & the X-Men and Eye-Boy definitely has lids on all his eyes. There were a couple of panels where the eyes were closed, and Mojo had him strapped in a Clockwork Orange dealie with hooks holding all of his eyelids open.

I find myself oddly relieved.
