Thumbs up on Deadwood. There's supposed to be an other episode in the works but Ian McShane is up around 78 or 79 now though.

But isn't the whole 'Superhero' genre ridiculous anyway? How some kid was bitten at birth by a spider and gained super powers, or was delivered from a dying planet, then grew up to fight crime and save humanity ... totally bogus. So why not mix up the story a bit and make them women or minorities, or whatever? What you are suggesting is that 'white, male' superheros are 'normal' and having them be women or minorities is suddenly a diversion from common sense ...

There have been several Captain Marvel characters anyway. The one in my youth (Mar-Vel) was male but they have not all been. Carol Danvers took over in 2012 or so I think. Hardly a new thing.

Are you off your meds again? Playground bogs? Indoor plumbing had been around for a while by the time I got to school. Not all of us grew up before the rise of the Roman Empire, you dozy tart.

It's really about the world of comic book characters having moved into the world of adult entertainment.. I used to read this stuff when I was ten for Chrisakes. I can understand a mature adult taking the kids to see this stuff at the movies but at the same time fantasy, walking dead, werewolves, caped crusaders has become meaningful entertainment to the adult world also. Movie makers no longer care much about the products they churn out. It's made to make a few million bucks in short order and then dumped into TV on Demand six months later.

Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Remains of the Day, To kill a Mockingbird., In the heat of the night.. Who could deny that they were truly great movies. with genuinely gifted actors. Thank god for CDs

Movies on CD, eh? Do you just listen to the soundtracks? The Zhivago soundtrack was lovely . . .

I was impressed he was able to spell CD, to be quite honest.

Playground bogs were quite common in schools along with ink wells,and blackboards in post WW2 depressed Britain you self entitled little twat. You seem to find it amusing that there were a generation of kids who grew up in such times, had to do national service. How lucky you were. Now piss off sonny and stop wasting your employers time on the job.

What have the Romans ever done for us?

There was a generation of kids who grew up during the Black Plague but you don't hear them whining about it. Mostly because they've been dead for 600 years, but that's beside the point. It's not my fault you're old, and I won't apologize for having an enjoyable childhood.

Not nearly enough, mate.

You should stay a lot more in the deep woods of CT along with your inbred New England cracker pals old buddy but I guess they let you use the PC in the local library occasionally. Who actually posted that for you BTW?
