The best part of having cable movie channels for me is the ability to just “bump into” movies that you didn’t know you want to watch, which often leads to me remembering how good those stories were the first time around. A recent rewatch of 1999’s ‘American Beauty’ threw me for a loop, though, as the movie feels very different fifteen years after the fact. Sure, there’s still great power in the performances, even Mena Suvari’s jiggly nose-talking, and it still holds up as a viewing experience, but I had forgotten how literally EVERYONE in the film (save maybe for…

The worlds of fiction are full of characters described as bad-ass, from Darth Vader all the way through Daenarys Targaryen (whose name contains far too many vowels and broke Spellcheck forever.) Of course, there are as many definitions of “badass” as there are consumers of pop-culture, and I’ll vehemently make the case that Jerry Mouse is a legendary figure whose toughness is equivalent to that of Wolverine in his own genre, and whether or not you’re a fan of Batman or not, you have to appreciate that he has his moments.

Many years ago, the always-brilliant Calamity Jon covered Krypto the Super-Dog on his awesome blog, Gone And Forgotten, leading the phrase “made of stinky poop” into my vocabulary (always a big hit with the Widget, even in her new pre-teen phase.) Recently, Jon re-presented that classic bit of comic ephemera with some updates and such, reminding me of the wonderful days where it didn’t seem like that big a deal for Jor-El to have fired his kid’s Airedale into space. Still, Superboy isn’t the only one with a goofy big dumb animal hanging about during their adventures: The Superfriends had…
