I’m getting so tired of John Mackey’s bullshit.
First, he calls Obama’s plan socialist. Then fascist. And–after understandably upsetting customers–he back peddles, claiming he meant his uniquely defined version of “fascist” that may or may not have been in place 70 years ago. Wendy’s may be treating their employees like crap by reducing hours to keep from paying for insurance, but at least they had the balls to state why: They don’t want to pay the money.
I hope the next round of Batman movies takes the Caped Crusader into the sci-fi realm. It would be crazy cool to see a director do cinematic justice to characters like Freeze, Ivy, Manbat, or Clayface. And–even thought the Burton and Nolan takes have been enjoyable–I would like to see something fresh, something lighter in tone, something a little more pulpy and fun like Indiana Jones or Avengers. Given what we’ve seen with the latest interpretation, it may be a radical departure, but I think it will be fun and–if the Justice League movie happens–downright necessary. It’s probably the only way we’ll see Harley make it to the silver screen too.
Oh and Kevin Conroy should totally dub over whichever actor they choose.
I’ve mostly enjoyed the Star Wars Clone Wars series, but my biggest problem always comes back to the same thing: No matter how good each triumph over the the droid army makes us feel, it’s eventually going to be a hollow victory. Sooner or later, Palpatine is going to send his troops in to kick everybody’s ass to Tatooine and back. It makes it difficult to allow myself to have a significant emotional investment. The only thing I’ve let myself have a stake in is Ashoka … and I can’t see it ending well for her either.
