Looking forward to seeing my very special niece and nephew later in the month: I love those two and I don't see them as often as I could.

I do not disagree with you.  Cheddar Bay biscuits share a special place in my heart right next to crumpets.

Man, the more I read about J Edgar Hoover, the more I can help but think the guy was a total f**king dick.

For example, during WWII we had two German soldiers who were part of a covert ops of several German troops whose mission was to sneak into America and cause all sorts of acts of terrorism, sabotage and intel gathering.  Instead, these two guys decided, "Hey, screw that noise!  These place ain't too bad."  So, they turned against Germany, told the plan to the FBI, helped them capture their former comrades, and saved who knows how many lives.  And what did J. Edgar do in gratitude?

Said all the intel came from his own sources, had the two guys arrested, and then deported them back to Germany.

Well, that's gratitude for ya, huh?  

And that's just ONE of about a dozen things I could post about to show what an assmonkey that guy was.

Wouldn't surprise me.
The more I learn about the guy, the more he comes across as a trigger happy wanna-be with little respect for actual law enforcement, preferring to have the great criminals of the day executed in the street before he'd bring them to justice.
In the early years, it's said that he had case files confiscated from state & local law enforcement because he didn't think they were smart enough to handle law enforcement.

I understand he even had his fingers in Hollywood for a while, approving or disapproving gangster movies, as long as the practice wasn't overly glamorized, and the anti-hero in question always got it in the end from an appropriate law enforcement official.

And in real life, Elliot Ness was a lush who lived with his parents & died homeless.

Seriously thinking of stealing the basic premise of Neon Maniacs and turning it into a story.  Only, like, explaining a bit what (and where) the killers in mine come from.  I thought it was a good premise overall, but they didn't quite run far enough with it.

Fritz Lang is a genius. It's hard to imagine the history of film without Metropolis but I'm not enjoying Fury that much

Crumpets are better than english muffins.  The world needs to know. 

You said it. I cannot make a better case that crumpets are far superior to English muffins. The only problem is that I seldom see crumpets when I go grocery shopping in my part of the world.

Crumpets are seasonal here.

So Thor is a woman? Ted Kord is no longer Blue Beetle? Captain America's a traitor?  The X-Men are basically a joke? Kind of glad I no longer read comics nowadays.

Just imagine Thor with PMS.
