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.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

Art Crawl!!!
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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Worst case scenario you get a box. But I guess they were bargaining on the suitcase convincing people like me, who own most of what they would really care about, and are really just looking for the Avengers. I don't have Thor or Hulk, and I would need enticement like that to go back and get them.
I don't think Avengers is the fandom that'll do that for me, though. I am holding off on Hunger Games until I can see what they do for the trilogy release. If the first Hobbit excites me enough and PJ does the extended version thing, I'll do what I did with the rest of his Tolkien films--buy the theatrical version right away, and...what am I fucking talking about? I didn't wait three years for all extendeds at once. I'll never make it. However, Blu Ray with more content might get me over that hump.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
review of the movie "The Words" in its entirety.
In this movie, struggling author Bradley Cooper plagiarizes a brilliant novel and then feels bad about the consequences. I feel bad about the consequences, too.
The latest entry in the Bradley Cooper Horror Show series gets a wide release on Friday, September 7. The film is rated PG-13, for emotional and dramatic unbearability.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The reviewer in "The Atlantic" didn't like it either, but the review is one giant run-on sentence.
