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.

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.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I did like...well, appreciate the fact that they made Hank Pym kind of a violent jerk in the movie, instead of trying to make us comic geeks forget he was a violent jerk. They didn't hammer on the point, that would have just made us hate him, but it was there. Hank Pym = not ever actually a nice guy.

I'm pretty sure that Michael Douglas has never not been creepy.
