Exactly. If Gillette actually lost 8 billion dollars they would be bankrupt.

The only time it works is in The Sopranos episode "Pine Barrens" when the Russian uses the dig-your-own-grave thing to confuse then attack the guys making him do it. It's also a hilarious episode for those uninitiated.

It's funny how much Batman has infiltrated out cultural zeitgeist that we try to make other superheroes like him. Superman is not meant to be this dark, brooding hero, although you can take him in that direction when applicable. He's bright and optimistic, but he's no fool, and he doesn't take being treated like one well. He will protect those less fortunate, not punish them for their circumstances. He's the best example of all of us, and I think that gets lost.

Trying to argue with him is like playing chess with a rooster, Nic. Best to just walk away before he flips the board over and starts talking about his military work.

Yeah, I have a hard time with the show too. It's not fun for me to watch a show about bad, miserable people being miserable to each other.

Yeah, it's a pretty old movie, but it's also popular, so it's not some obscure hipster thing.

Just because it was easy for you doesn't mean it's easy for everybody.
