Wow. Batman.
For real.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Art Crawl!!!
This reminds me that I read a story over on Zap2it some story about Kevin Spacey being considered for Lex Luthor.
Which would be okay, except that I want Lex and Clark to be closer in age.
Perhaps I've been overly influenced by Smallville ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lex will be old enough to be everyone's father. I expect Perry White to be played by Matt Damon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wow. Batman.
For real.
The "Where are you?"/"Here" bit was like a panel straight out of the comics.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The "Where are you?"/"Here" bit was like a panel straight out of the comics.
Reminded me of the first trailer for the first Batman (by Burton) movie where the key exchange was:
BadGuy: "Who are you?"
Batman: "I'm The Batman."
Crowd erupted in crazy cheers. I think the rubber suit innovation might've been a factor though.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is quite possibly the most amazingly beautiful movie I've ever seen. And possibly ever wish to see. I was utterly enchanted.
The Baudelaire children were magnificent, and the two young ones playing Sunny were the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's not right for babies to have that much comic timing. (Okay, some of their comedy came not from them, but from their subtitles, but their expressions were uncanny)

Are you ready to be strong?
So Carrey didn't bug?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
OK, I have to say, Liam Neeson's facial hair might be enough to keep me away from that.

So Carrey didn't bug?
He was fairly subdued (relatively speaking) and under quite a bit of makeup. Also, you're supposed to hate his character, so that helps a little. I think he was probably adding to the material quite a bit, and fans of the books might be bugged by him, though I haven't read them myself and can't swear by that.
But he did quite well in his role, and the children are really the centerpiece anyway.
RIO! HI RIO!

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
OK, I have to say, Liam Neeson's facial hair might be enough to keep me away from that.It was a valiant attempt at Ras al Gul's look, you have to admit. Emphasis on attempt.
