"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

-t, I'll be interested to hear your reactions to Mockingjay.

Because books.

Re: The Hunger Games, I don't know enough about either of them to be bothered, and physically they don't look too far off the mark. Although I did imagine Peeta as blonder and Gale as dark-haired.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

or at least Peeta as light brown. isn't he supposed to be kind of beefy though?

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

Peeta's supposed to be blond and a bit beefier than Gale. Gale is supposed to be dark-haired, olive-skinned, and grey-eyed like Kat.

Does anyone know anything about Dylan Dog? Brandon Routh has irritated me in just about everything I've seen, but he was kinda amusing in the trailer I just saw.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Does anyone know anything about Dylan Dog?

Based on one the most popular Italian comic books of all time. Sort of a dark, adventure comic. The main character fights a lot of supernatural monsters, ala Buffy. The cult Rupert Graves movie, Cemetary Man, was actually based on a Dylan Dog comic.

I don't know anything about the actual production.

Oh, and I loved Brandon Routh in Scott Pilgrim.

The hand gesture for: "She wipes" was perfect.

I didn't like anyone in Scott Pilgrim not Knives or not a sassy drummer. Or a skateboarder. I did like the skateboarder. The rest of the movie? Pfft.

Sam Huntington as the zombified comedic sidekick has me sold on the movie ahead of time.
