Dr. Doom was expelled from college as an undergrad, so he doesn't actually have any sort of doctorate.

Mr. Freeze has a doctorate, but still goes by "Mister" for some reason.

I spend more time thinking about this than I probably should.

When you've got to save the universe at 10 but you're playing Frank N. Furter in a Rocky Horror shadow cast at midnight.
One day kids opened up the latest issue of Superboy and got themselves a treat: a new costume for Cosmic Boy!

The bland, pink uniform was now replaced by buffed, naked arms, legs and abs in a black metallic open corset top.

Mike Grell says guys still go up to him to tell him how much they hate it.

I had more fun recording this episode than watching the movie. #SherlockHolmes

If I create a wishlist or a watchlist on a website, I should always have the ability to alphabetize it so I can find what I want easily.

And titles that start with “A” or “The” should not be filed under A and T.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

There’s honestly a long list when I think about it, but the big ones for me are Batman, Star Trek, and Chinatown.
What's your favourite thing that's been made by an absolute cunt?

Once again, the "detach quote" and block functions are really lovely features to have and go a long way to making BlueSky a more pleasant place to be.

In other news, don't be an asshole and quote my post just to disagree with me in a dicky way. 😊

Similar to @fadeoutpod.bsky.social, mine is comic book related. The whole inker/tracer scene in CHASING AMY is stupid because it implies that Jason Lee's character actually IS a tracer and he's deluded about what he does for a living.

It makes inkers the butt of an inaccurate & unfunny joke.

I just checked the list at the Copyright Office, and somehow I've fallen into the Public Domain for 2026.

Nobody do anything weird with me.

Around Halloween, a female FB friend wrote on my wall, “You’d be a hot Frankenstein.” I still don’t know what that meant.

I also once had the host of stand-up show describe me as “Bull Shannon, but sexy” just before bringing me up onstage.
Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Just finished this year's viewing of THE APARTMENT. Still great. And yes, there was some tearing up at the end.
