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.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

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.

I finally saw Ant-Man! And enjoyed it quite a lot. It felt like a complete story, in a way a lot of the other MCU movies don't. And it was funny, and I always enjoy a heist.

I found it okay, but forgettable. I think Michael Douglas took the role just so he could be CGIed to look younger in his first scene.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
so he could be CGIed to look younger in his first scene.
That was CREEPY AS HELL. (Although, to be fair, I started finding Michael Douglas creepy at least 10 years ago because he started reminding me of my dad. So I found him creepy as current!old!Hank Pym, as well as CGIed Hank Pym.)
