Yesterday, I got through a soap, and a Tubi movie!

I saw GHOSTBUSTERS in the theater. It was okay. I think I'd have liked

Except for the increasingly terrible fantastic, four movies, which have a
built-in 16-year-old that they insist on casting with obnoxious actors, a

What movie is this?

 Any of the Fantastic Four movies.

Johnny Storm is 16 in the comics?  I'm pretty sure he wasn't 16 in any of the animated series either.  He was a robot once, but not 16.  ;-)

 It’s amazing that they keep making them, and they keep making them worse.
 Joseph Quinn is 30
 

Who *is* this guy?!?  I go to a lot of conventions and for about a year now I would *constantly* see people on Facebook and Twitter asking for him to make convention appearances.  I thought it was a running joke or something.  I never heard of him before.  I googled him and confirmed he was a real person, but it still felt like a running joke.  Then he gets cast as Johnny Storm.

Michael B. Jordan was 28
 Chris Evans was 24 and then 26
 Jay Underwood was 26
 

I got to meet Jay Underwood at last year's Vegas Star Trek convention. I completely forgot he was in Voyager.  Although I wanted a "Fantastic Four" picture autographed.  Second choice would have been "The Boy Who Could Fly."  I was surprised he didn't have any "Not Quite Human" photos on his table.  I forgot to ask about that.  I asked him about "Star Command" and he shocked anyone remembered it.
