    This decade was bookended with hyper-realistic, overhyped CGI movies that promised to "change movie-making forever": Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Avatar. The former is why I can't muster much enthusiasm for the latter.

    A few weeks ago I saw a guy on stilts riding a bike. Like, he was about eight feet above the bike. Seems really impractical.

    @Ed Grabianowski: it's twice as practical as a guy on stilts riding a unicycle.

    All of the above mentioned solutions have been written out in Next Wave and Umbrella Academy.

    For Zombie Robot Gustave Eiffel and his Tower of Doom see the latter. For a laser eyed, rocket powered crabs see the former.

    "Dollhouse." Srsly.

    Also, "Knowing." That seriously remains one of the dumbest movies of all time.

    @Meirelle: How many people actually rated Knowing highly? To be overrated, it kinda has to be loved... and I don't think anyone loves it.

    See, it sounds like there have been a lot of insane superheroes/villains with godlike power running amok the last couple decades--but really every problem has just been called by the same two or three people.

    This article is made of win and awesome and possibly bacon.

    Spidey quoting Tim Gunn, a literal purple nurple, and a Red Lantern kitteh (although are we sure he's not Ceiling Cat?).

    These are truly things more comics need.

    Props on the exhaustively compiled list!

    Also, additional props for including the Dracula-vampire invasion in Captain Britain, one of my favorite Marvel titles in the last couple years.
