Right! Why hit a wooden dummy when the *real* Superman is just lying right there, within arm's reach?
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It would affect his resale value.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Just finished reading David Mack's Kabuki.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I just finished reading Watchmen for the first time.
Huh.

Good huh? Bad huh? When I first read it, I thought it actually lived up to the hype, which was impressive.

Not sure yet. I mean, over all, it's very good, but the ending is very at odds with the feel of the rest of it. I mean, you suddenly go from a gritty "How would super-heroes actually work" to a giant squidbomb.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Yeah that is one of the few ways I thought the movie improved on the graphic novel. Always had problems with Squidzilla.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think you're clear on killer squid.
Also, Rosebud is a sled, and Darth Vader is whatsisname's father.

Haven't seen the movie yet. Will probably add it to the Netflix queue.
Still sorting through how I feel about it. It's a bit of a let-down, really. You've got all these characters and a building mystery and suddenly it's "Whoops, most of the characters are dead via giant squid and the bad guy wins because actually doing anything about it would likely destroy the world, so lets dye our hair blond and rump like bunnies in another part of the country. "

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love the ending, psychic space squid and all. And I love that the bad guy gets to monologue AND go through with his evil plan. It's just so obvious - why don't the villains always press the button before the superheroes arrive?
