        I do have a few empty bottles I've held onto for sentimental reasons. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:22
        
        That's a very good analogy, yes. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:21 1
        
        and I totally understand why you would think that, which is why I said you would have to do it. - groiny Aug 17, 09:27

    - It's the only SM movie I've ever really enjoyed. It's charming. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 17, 09:39 1
      - plus I spent a good amount of time hoping Keaton would say "I'm Batman" -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 17, 09:40
    - Ah. Yeah, I haven't seen it either. -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 17, 09:33 2
      - It was Logan's first Marvel movie. *Perfect* for a kid, and still great for us dads. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:35
      - this shocks me. -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:34
    - At least I'm not Shaun - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 17, 09:26

        nobody has time for that! -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:10
  - Well, I was mega biased going in (the BEST Doctor Who, ever) and he managed to blow away my expectations. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:06 4

  - well, and Luke Cage is kinda boring as fuck as a character. - groiny Aug 17, 09:04 2
    - True for the books, too. Him solo, I ignore. I enjoy him with Iron Fist and I enjoy him with Jessica, though. The new Defenders book is top notch. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:05 1
      - yeah, he is probably not enough alone to carry a movie. -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:06
  - yup -- nm - decline Aug 17, 09:03
