Rules: I am making some very strict restrictions for who could qualify for this very important. The character could not have ever been in the main cast. The character could never have been the big bad of a season. They also had to appear in more than one season. Do these rules seem arbitrary? Yes? But it’s my list.

Beyond its star, Timothy Olyphant, Justified recognized what a fond idea it would be to cast so many actors from Deadwood. More films and television programs should do this. Here is how I rank their appearances on Justified. Continue reading Ranking the Appearances from Deadwood Actors in Justified

Ranking the Batman Films (Again, but better this time!)

Matt Waters and Mike Thomas ranked the Batman films back in 2017. Five years later we are doing it again but bringing Jerome Cusson and Ben Phillips along for the ride this time.

We also laid some new ground rules. 1.) The film had to receive a wide theatrical release. 2.) Justice League and Suicide Squad movies do not count, but v. Superman does.

Again, here are the voters.

Ranking the Batman Actors

Montage Tall

Somehow, we have never ranked the Batman actors??? Well, our long international nightmare is over. We brought in the best minds in the biz to finally crack this conundrum.

To clarify, this is specifically looking at actors who have played Batman in a film that received a wide theatrical release. Sorry, Diedrich Bader.

Here are the voters:

Jerome Cusson
Ben Phillips

9) George Clooney

5 Really Good Things About Constantine

Constantine is a good film. I did not see it until 2018, and it got a little overhyped to me by Twitter so my expectations were not met. I finally gave it another go in 2022, and yes, I can confirm it is quite good. Give the people what they want (a sequel to Constantine). Anyway, these were my five favorite things about the movie.

1. Keanu!

Ranking the 30 Rock Seasons

30 Rock has always been a show that I have never loved as much as its biggest fans. When it aired at the time, I did not start watching until season 3 or 4, and I just didn’t think it compared as favorably to what at the same time I was seeing from The Office (seasons 4 & 5), Community (Season 1), and Parks & Recreation (Seasons 1 & 2). While I would still maintain that 30 Rock was not as good as those shows in that time period, 30 Rock‘s sensibilities have obviously aged the best. That being said, it was unfortunate that I started watching the show during one of its weaker eras as it clouded my opinion of the show for a long time. With that in mind, here are all the seasons of 30 Rock ranked.
