Am I the only guy on the board who backed the porcelain dice? 

 

Just wondering.... 

Is that a euphemism?

It occures to me that for a movie that is suppose to be anti-men is equally against women as well.  Black Canary is not the strong heroine living with the legacy of being the daughter of a great superheroine, and instead is a singer in a strip club.  Cassandra Cain is not the complex martial artist who took the mantle of Batgirl and instead is a thief who swallows a diamond.  Rene Montoya is not the touch police officer and instead is the angry older woman cliche who never gets the credit she thinks she deserves, and is a good 30 years older then she should be (and Rosie Perez!!!, was Wanda Sykes not available.)   And worst of all is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, trying to be Madonna and mistaking idiocy with quirky, and is the cliche of the psycho ex which makes you wonder what the writers private lives are like.

Susanna Thompson was the computer voice on the evil Waverider on Crisis on Earth X Part 4.

I'm a little behind since the collapse of the multiverse.

This reminds me of when Mayor Quimby introduced Leonard Nimoy at the opening of the Springfield Monorail.  

"It looks like it could do warp seven,"  Nimoy said about the monorail.

"And may the Force be with you!"  Quimby added.

"Do you even know who I am?"  Nimoy asked.

"I think so.  Weren't you one of the Little Rascals?"  Quimby replied.

The desperate bid to change the movie's fortune by calling it Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey has failed, prompting the studio to change it yet again.  It will now be known as Marvel's Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey.  When asked about violating Marvels copyright a studio spokesman said "Copyright, Smopyright!"

I just know the redhead female ones are supposed to have crazy tempers. 

This is very true.

I'd say it has a high bar set for that by its predecessor.

Now you're getting it.

I think this movie has the same basic plot of 1984's Supergirl, except with a lot more action.  It will be watchable and better then anything else the DCEU has managed but after Birds of Prey that won't be hard.

I'd go with Stretching instead of Telekinesis, but the EB and Entangle represent the doubles he creates and plants grabbing his targets.

Could you do Swamp Thing?

I'll see what I can do.  Warning, I know him most from Swamp Thing 2 with Heather Locklear.

   Yes they do.  The Brits are still bitching about Dick Van Dyke’s accent in Mary Poppins.   Wait til Lin Manuel Miranda’s version sinks in.

On Leverage they all made fun of Sophie's accent.

It will be considered the best DCEU movie ever.

When someone knocks the board over.

I can't help but notice that no one has a problem with a theory that CBS All Access doesn't really exist.

In Babylon 5, a lot of the Centauri had (sometimes bad) Eastern European accents. It worked. It actually lent a sort of unity to the characters as a people, I thought.

And yet Vir didn't, which is why he was a good Emperor.

Clifton James played Sheriff J.W. Pepper in both Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun. He was "on vacation" in Thailand for the second movie.

He was also in Superman 2.

Besides, everyone knows the real reason all the Romulans have an Irish accent.  But just in case, I will put it in spoiler tags.

It's a desperate attempt to stimulate a Wings reunion to record "Take Romulus back from the Irish"

 

 

 

I do love Crystal Bernard.

Three words.

Three Card Monte.

1.  The show is shot in Ireland making it the worst thing to be produced in that country since the DeLorean.

2.  A desperate attempt to get Lucky Charms to sponsor the show.

3.  Saint Patrick's prophecy of the Irish taking over the Universe in 2200 has come true.

4.  The only way they could convince Patrick Stewart to work for CBS is to tell him he's doing Angela's Ashes.

5.  The work of Leprechauns.

6.  The Irish colonized Romulus.

7.  The Writers only watched a Chief O'Brien focused Episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine as research for the show.

8.  It's all a Romulan Plot to confuse the audience.

9.  CBS All Access doesn't really exist.  It's all a massive scam that "Produces" shows no one will ever want to watch.

10.  They just don't care.

Let me get this straight.  They are remaking a movie that came out four years, but without the box office appeal Will Smith.

They are really out of ideas.

He was a huge part of my childhood.

The Wild Wild West was a big favorite and I loved the Reunion movies.

He was in Wrong is Right in 1981 playing an over the top General.  

The TV movie Hard Know where he played a Marine Fighter Pilot who's told he can't fly anymore and goes to run a Cadet school was a favorite of mine.
