Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

One of the things I don't understand from that trailer is what are witches supposed to be? Are they human? If so, why is it okay to just kill them and why are we making movies in this day and age that condones this behavior?

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

Why would it be okay to kill an evil-doing vampire and not an evil-doing witch? Are you specist?

I don't know. . . perhaps the Renner and sister characters are bounty hunters?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I think they're just hunters in the same way Sam and Dean are hunters and Buffy is a slayer. it looks like in their 'verse all witches are evil. ergo, the witches need to die.

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

That's what I got too. The witches didn't look human to me.

I guess I just want to know what they are.

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

I guess I just want to know what they are.

THEY'RE WITCHES. Now get your crossbow and suit up.

ZOMG. Richard Linklater Completes ‘Before Midnight’ Just Before Festival Begins.

Spiffy keen Avengers movieverse set yanked over design rights: [link]

I knew distinctive shape was distinctive, but I didn't make the obvious next step to trademarked.

It's one of those things where the collection looks way amazing, but I'm sufficiently fannish that I have most of the pieces already, but not fannish enough to dupe disks.

It's not as gradual as the LotR extortion, nor am I as addicted, I guess.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm hoping they can find a less distinctive briefcase design into which to put everything, because I pre-ordered it a few days after it was listed. I don't own any of the discs, so it seemed like a reasonable deal (what with the Amazon discount and all). The briefcase wasn't really part of the enticement, to me.
