  1. He was murdering people since his very first appearance. He would interrupt radio broadcasts telling the people of Gotham who he was going to kill and what he was going to steal. The police couldn't stop him--only Batman could. The thing about more modern portrayals of The Joker is, that to my mind, he comes off as little more than Ed Gein in clown makeup. Where's the criminal brilliance? Where are the grandiose schemes that promise to be both lucrative and hilarious? Where are the playing card references? Nowhere that I've seen lately.
  2. I had heard that they were looking to relaunch the Ace Ventura movies--could this be the story right here?
  3. "If you put "based on a true story" at the top of your resume you can basically write whatever you want."--Conan O'Brien
  4. Capitol Hill Officer Details Racist Abuse During Mob Attack
  5. Let us not forget the most accursed tome of them all--Seduction Of The Innocent. The work of the conformist scholar and covert magician Frederic Wertham, contained betwixt its lines of text and "scholarly" arguings, are subliminal incantations and charms designed to bewitch the unwary and the weak minded into following along with his miserable, deplorable campaign to suppress creativity and freedom of thought, to stifle beyond reviving the notion that great power could--and should--be used to protect the weak and defenseless, and advance the greater good. All in the name of instilling and promoting "Appropriate Behavior." A thousand thousand curses upon Wertham and all his Dark Disciples! May they be condemned forever to reside in the pseudo-intellectual prisons of compliance and repression they have constructed for themselves!
  6. Leave out the onions and the garlic powder and I think you're on to something.
  7. I was leaning toward Kat Dennings, myself--but this girl may do just fine.
  8. I remember an episode where Hogan came clean to a German officer whose help they needed. The officer asked if Klink was part of the operation. HOGAN: "Are you kidding? Klink and his monocle are still fighting World War One!" It's possible the people you mention are thinking of the episode "The Missing Klink." As far as I am aware, Klink was not secretly conspiring against Germany as an ally of Hogan. I believe Werner Klemperer said so himself. By the way--if you get the chance, check out Klemperer's appearances in Judgement At Nuremberg and Operation Eichmann. It's one thing to see him portray a Nazi as a complete buffoon--it's unsettling, to say the least, to see him play a Nazi completely serious.
  9. You're saying he's Not a bigot and a misogynist? Because I'm pretty sure he was. What "angry lies" are you talking about here?
  10. The Article At Huffpost I don't know as I'll cheer--but I certainly won't mourn.
  11. Mr. Immediate is from Norway--specifically the town of Hammerfest, in the far north. Unable to tolerate the persistent cold weather, he wished fervently he could be in Hawaii, or someplace else warn and sunny. One day, he got his wish--and found himself on a warm, sunny beach. Soon he was visiting places all over the world--and then UNTIL found him and recruited him for the Alphabet Squad. As he had always been a good person with no desire to break the law in a major way, he agreed. Hope that helps.
  12. I saw something like that in an episode of The Simpsons. Gil the hard-luck guy had one, looked like one of the first cell phones (size and weight of a brick) with a rotary dial. It was, perhaps, the only one he could afford.
  13. I'm on Microsoft Edge, and I can see your video just fine. It's just when I try and post a video, it appears as though I posted a link. Thunderbirds Are Go | Launch Sequences Thunderbird 1-4 | Full Episodes - YouTube See? This is what I'm talking about here.
  14. Burkhalter had connections and rank. Piss him off and you're on your way to the Eastern Front. The only thing that kept Klink from being sent there was that Stalag 13 had a perfect record of no escapes. (One time Burkhalter said to another officer about Klink's record--"Don't look at me. I don't understand it either.") But all the recurring Germans were pretty much as gullible and suggestible as Klink. And Hogan played them all like Palpatine played the Republic and its Senate.
