This building was designed by a great Finnish architect. My guide loathes it. “When you use the bathrooms, you will see why I hate him. You must back in while lowering your pants, then close the door. There is no room.” The loathing of a Finn is deadpan but powerful.

The other thing I appreciated about them was how (unlike most "serious" critics then), they didn't automatically turn their noses up at anything that wasn't "serious filum." But they also helped me appreciate those serious filums that deserved appreciation.

Watching the old, old Siskel/Ebert shows on YouTube (like late '70s/early '80s era, when I originally started watching them) and man I miss those guys. Taught little kid me how to engage with material and think about why I liked or didn't like it, rather than just have knee-jerk reactions.

Well, sure, that's why Doctor Strange generally only does it from within the Sanctum Sanctorum, that's just common sense.

One of my favorite "The past is a foreign country" bits is how much of the world didn't know things like what color Batman's costume is suppose d to be or what colors the uniforms on star Trek were. B/c they only appeared in black and white comics and many countries didn't broadcast TV in color yet.

I have to think that's the in-universe context for the photo too. I kinda like the idea that Clark deliberately cultivates the "dark secret" that he wears a bad toupee to hide his receding hairline, as a way to distract people from the notion that he might be Superman

Seems like it's analogous to the sort of "crass and vulgar but not quite over the line" material that Maxim magazine made a fortune selling to teenage boys until they could get free pr0n on the Internet. BTW apparently Maxim is still publishing? Maybe even as a real printed magazine? That's wild.

I think WWW is a happy ending for the spider story, as it's one of the few things that actually works for the concept. Miguelito Loveless definitely would have had a giant mechanical spider on the 60s show if it had been feasible at the time.
