I was a bit thrown off by them showing him infatuated with Lucien Carr though; I thought they were just friends and it was Cassady that Ginsberg had a big crush on.

That's my take, but Ginsberg was so repressed and crushing on those around him, and Lucien was quite pretty.

(Note for grad school trash fanciers: Lucien's son Caleb Carr wrote The Alienest.)

Here's a pretty fabulous supercut of 2013 movie trailers. [link]

Have some patience: it gets better as it goes along.

Holy shit, yeah. I agree. The first minute or so is okay, but then it's consistently awesome, and by the end, I had feels.

Gal Gadot cast as Wonder Woman.

Zach Synder, UGH. I would be otherwise psyched to see Wonder Woman on the big screen, but I just can't with Snyder.

Oh, geez. I really want to see WW on the big screen, in a good role in a good movie, ideally HER OWN movie. But in a Zach Snyder movie, played by an actress that, sorry, I can't see giving the impression of the necessary physical strength...yeah, I'm not thrilled. Maybe they'll surprise me.

Pete made the comment that the snippet shown from F+F didn't give any indication that the actress could act; I pointed out that with Zach Snyder directing, it didn't matter. He conceded the point.

She was actually pretty awesome in the Fast & Furious movie, though I think she's a bit too slender for the Diana role.

Jaime Alexander and Lynn Collins would have been my top choices for the role.

I agree, but she'll bulk up. As many have pointed out, pretty much every superhero casting has been "Really?" followed by "OKAY I SEE NOW" by the time the movie actually comes out.

The clip on io9 is not the one I would have chosen; plenty of better short scenes from the movie to show how badass she is.
