They rode into a white man's town, bringing black man's law

Reactions, in order.

1. :|

2. I would watch this ten times before I even watched the trailer for Just Wright. Oh, really, because the word Wright rhymes with Right? With that kind of scintillating wordplay, Queen Latifah, it's no wonder you're one of the original non-Latino female kings of comedy or whatever.

3. If I were black, that theme song would make an awe-inspiring ringtone.

4. How is it we have like fifteen remakes of Robin Hood and only one Boss Nigger? Because that's actually a cool premise. Former slaves become the law enforcement in a crime-ridden town, and bitch-slap the racism right out of it. Say, Samuel L. Jackson as the sheriff, David Chappelle as his wacky deputy, and add in Gina Torres as a bounty hunter/love interest for the ladies. Throw in some exciting shootouts with the Ku Klux Klan. Much more interesting than Jonah Hex, isn't it?

5. "Being called a nigger in public, now that's twenty dollars or two days in jail!" Shouldn't that be calling someone a nigger in public? No matter what the color of your skin, bad grammar is bad grammar.

ETA: Of course, if they did remake this, the first thing they would do is change the name. Which wouldn't be so bad, only the second thing they would do is cast Ashton Kutcher in the lead, because there just aren't any black actors with the acting experience to play black men. Then all the geek websites would do articles on how there were totally white slaves, duh. Then, to get more appeal, they'd buy the name of an old movie, so it'd turn into a remake of Blazing Saddles, with Jessica Alba as Lili Von Shtupp.

Movie review: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

You guys, it turns out Dwayne McDuffie can write a pretty good JLA story when editorial isn't constantly telling him things like "this story is nice, but we need Batman to have a raging boner throughout the issue. Also, can Wonder Woman be a cat?" Simple premise: On a world where the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good, good guy Lex Luthor escapes to the more familiar world to ask the Justice League for help. Smallville fans, know that this involves him being stripped naked and Superman staring at him quite intently.

Batman points out that it's an alternate universe, and what, are they gonna police every single sucky universe, but them staying home and building a space station isn't much of a movie, so they go out to beat up the Justice Lords Crime Syndicate. Like I said, no great shakes, and the movie is pretty much just fan service for the sake of fan service, but it's pulled off with enough wit and cleverness to make it worth sitting through. Plus, there's some interesting contrast between the low-key hopefulness of our Batman and the James Woods-y nihilism of Nite-Owl Owlman.

There's also a kind of half-assed love story between the Martian Manhunter and Rose Wilson, who in the Crimeverse is the President's daughter. She kisses him and he's all surprised that that's what Earthpeople do to show affection, because what Martians do to show affection is to telepathically experience each others' entire live stories, including deep personal trauma. I think I'll stick with kissing.

Anyway, it's streaming on Netflix, so you might wanna check it out. How can you say no to the starpower of Chris Noth and Mark Harmon?
