Anyone thinking Black Adam would be either cheerful or bombastic is probably not really a genre fan. If they're going to knock him for picking that role, why are they even reviewing the movie? Reviews should discuss how well he portrays the character, not the reviewer's viewing preferences.

I put together a playlist on Spotify today. It features Eminem, the Cranberries, and music from Peanuts.
 
I call it my Trail Mix. 

Quoth Jessica Gao:
 
"The Jon Byrne comic run was the one that made me fall in love with this character in the first place. What was so great about that run was that it was so fun and light. There was this great levity to it that you weren't used to if you read a lot of superhero comics, because, you know most superhero comics are very action-oriented, very dramatic, a lot of them tend to get heavy. It's a lot of serious men dealing with serious issues. This run of She-Hulk comics was such a breath of fresh air to have this fun, irreverent, female-forward comic about this woman who, even if she was dealing with saving the city or saving the universe, she was doing it with this lightness to her."
 
And it does seem that it's taken a cue from the Byrne run. It may not have had the best execution, but she's saying she read the comics, and I don't see any reason not to believe her.
 
I didn't think it was great, but it was OK enough that I'd like to see a second season, but with a little more oversight from someone who understands how to structure a show, and less of an agenda of "well, let's make fun of the guys who don't like female superheroes." It'd be interesting to see something, even from the same crew, with more focus on story and less on sticking it to the haters. Let 'em hate. Make a good show. You can make a good show exploring women's issues without it being a dialog with the most toxic part of your fan base.

You remember that bit in The Rise of Skywalker where General Hux says, "I don't care if you win, I need Kylo Ren to lose"?
 
That's kinda how I feel about the Dodgers.
 
And if we can knock out the Yankees too, well, so much the better.

WALKOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Cleveland down 5-3, bottom of the 9th.  Get a run in, get the bases loaded.  1-2 on the batter.  
Ball up the middle.  PASSES THE PITCHING MOUND.  Splits 2nd and short.  1 run is in.  Takes its sweet time getting to the center fielder. 2 runs in!!!
 
WALK IT OFF!!! CLEVELAND WINS to take a 2-1 lead.
In Guardians style.  SMALL BALL.  5 hits, don't think any of em would've counted as hard-hit balls.

Yeah, they're probably crying all the way to the bank. 

Under the spoiler JUST in case...
 
 

I went to a silent auction last night. I came home with a dog whistle and two mimes.

No, the 3rd down play was a Adams catch that was overturned. They had no timeouts, the clock was under a minute and they weren't in field goal range.. The outside corner managed to get a good jam on Adams and he didn't get the proper depth in his route and he ran into Renfroas they were trying to pick for each other.
 

I don't think it's the refs so much as the league that is freaking out after Tua.  Honestly it's nice to see the NFL actually start to give a damn about head injuries, but the execution... could use some work.

One final box needs to be there: Sleep where the objects were.

Evans was really great as Johnny Storm

There seems something wrong with Old Man saying older relatives.
