Good?
What are you referring to?
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
holy crap.
Yeah, I saw it at Amoeba and was feeling covetous even though I've got all the music.

The novelization.
Yeah, I read it last night and the novelization does a wonderful job of not only capturing the movie (with a few adjustments for the page, like one scene that I thought was skipped over appearing later as a recollection because it makes for a better flow in the book) but also inserting some background from events on Firefly to give unfamiliar readers a sense of what's happened up to the point the movie begins.
The dialogue is preserved nicely on the page, with some snippets that seem like they may have been cut from the movie remaining, so that's like a little bonus. At one point, I was wondering if the pacing was going too fast compared to the length of the book (257 pages) but I think that was just because I was anticipating some of the later action.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Who wrote the novelization? I know a couple people who write tie-in work, and some of them are actually pretty talented. For a while, some of the major movie novelizations were getting writers like Joan Vinge and Elizabeth Hand and so on, so you can get very lucky indeed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Quick note on Villains United, if anyone else is still reading: am I realy the only one whose guessed that the team of five "unknown villains" Luthor just recruited is the Justice League Elite? IJS.

See, I haven't read JLE, so, yes.

Yeah. They're only in one panel, really, but I took one look at the guy with the bow and arrow, and then the guy standing next to him who looked like a Flash rip-off, and the woman who was built like Vera Black, and figured they had to be the JLE. I'd imagine the other two were Dawn and Coldcast in disguise. I could be WAAAAY off base, but I don't think it's a coincidence that Catman sent that letter to Green Arrow in the first issue, that he's been mentioned several times, and then someone who resembles him shows up. Besides, going undercover as supervillains is totally their schtick.
And JLE was a lot of fun. I think you'd dig on Vera Black.
