I so want to do this: "Did you see that trailer?" "Yeah! Trumbo looks great, right?"

The victim builds robots.

I think this video makes everything clear.

Controversial opinion: Andrew Garfield is a better Spider-Man, better Peter Parker, and all around better actor than Tobey Maguire. The Amazing Spider-Man movies carry themselves on the strength of their characters (a big component of why 2 didn't work as well is the villains don't make any sense. "Spider-Man? There are cops near here. I go from worship to hate now!"). Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies... well, 2 was good at the time, but looking back, it's got just as bad of a Raimi problem as the other two. Going crazy broad with the comedy, music, and posing while saying lines acting is not good movietime. At least when the neutron flow is stable. Otherwise, there are a bunch more variables and one of those big calculus symbol thingies.

Mundane? Not on my watch!

I think I still have the little phone booth that came in a box of Bill & Ted's Excellent Cereal.

I've always considered "God is dead" to be the showy, headline-grabbing way of putting it. (Hrmm... this isn't actually from a philosopher, but Pirates of the Caribbean, buuuuut) "The immaterial has become immaterial" is much better.

Much like how Tim Burton's 1989 Batman was awesome at the time, because we hadn't really had better yet, 2004's Spider-Man 2 was awesome... then. Superhero movies have come a long way thanks to Christopher Nolan and the MCU.

It's a sci-fi show with a wide-open premise: there's an alien who goes by The Doctor, usually travelling with at least one companion. They can go anywhere in space and time, ending up in historical or sci-fi-ish places most of the time. Some episodes are funny, some horror, some dramatic, but overall it's a space adventure with a loose regard for its own continuity, so you can basically jump in at any point.

It just barely gets a pass. Historically, corn had been used to refer to whatever the local staple was. (Regular corn's name was imposed, after all - the real thing was called a word the Spanish wrote down as maiz.)

An ancient... noir... tomb? Gangster... uhh... yep. It's Al Capone's tomb. You notice a moustache has sprouted and your face and hair have changed. You are now Geraldo Rivera.

Am I the only one who hopped on Google when a villager mentioned corn?

The box was open, so, uhh... alright, the box was empty. You drop the candle and set the cardboard box on fire.

There's a large box by a wall labeled "Bombs Free Puppies (that do not explode)."

Okay, uhh... the entire alley gets poison gassed. No characters that stick around survive.

Yup - you'll be quite surprised to find that, in the world Spook set up,

Edit: A-ha! Also in classic Linux fashion, new OS doesn't work? Somebody's already made a fork of it that does. With BIOS. On a disc. Ooh, goody. It can't detect my video or sound cards, so it's just going ahead with "the defaults." DOS gamers might remember the days of putting up with half your games not having sound 'cause they just didn't know where to send it.

It had a movie at one point. And it always contained movies. Edit: It took place in the near future. Not... not too distant.

Baccano! is fantastic. One of my favorite anime shows of all time. It tells three stories in different years, crosscutting between them to maintain the pace, tension, and reveals with extreme precision. It's confusing for the first episode or two, but then you adjust and it settles down a bit. 1930 - the tension between two mob families, 1931 - a train ride more interesting than you'll ever want to have, and 1932 - a girl searching for her brother. I highly recommend finishing it (there are three OVA episodes as well that are alright, but not great.) As you get later on into the story, you'll notice in the opening credits.
