The previous two FF movies had their bad points, but they were generally cheesy fun. This looks like an ordeal to watch.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
That's what I've been reading. That it's not just bad, it's tedious and completely lacking in any fun.

Oh, dear. I'll probably see it because I'm a completist. But maybe I'll wait until it hits the $3 theater.

So as a promotion for the movie, Denny's introduced the “Thing Burger”, which is a beef patty with bacon, egg, and cheese.
Which makes perfect sense, since Ben Grimm is Jewish.

Ben Grimm is Jewish.
He is? I never knew that.

I'd imagine Denny's patrons faced with a gefilte fish special would react... well, much like unsuspecting moviegoers who stumbled into this movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's a pretty far distance between that treyfburger and gefilte fish!

Well, apparently little else in that movie matches the comics--thought I haven't seen the movie.
