Ryan is my effing hero! I am so tired of people on their phones. Playing games, surfing the web, having conversations. Rude. If you can't put your damned phone away for the movie you have no business in the theater.

I had a cat for 18 years called Jonesy, named after the cat in Alien. RIP Jonesy Bones.

There is no way Shatner actually spends a second on twitter. He's got somebody who likes to use his account to fight with people.

Az hit the nail on the head - I have no interest in seeing even a "mid" superhero movie at the theater.

When it was announced Henry Cavill would return as Superman it generated a lot excitement. Firing Henry Cavill killed ALL the momentum instantly. The movie never recovered.

Ryan's head on Michael Douglas' body in the movie "Fallen Down". The Adventure of an Ordinary Man at War with the Everyday World.

The bit where Ryan is talking about being mad at the people talking in the theater had me in stitches!
