GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I just got the notification email for that from Amazon.

The worst part about it is shows made for streaming don't have ad breaks built into their structure anymore. Not that it really matters, since every ad-supported thing I've ever tried to watch online breaks in with ads randomly in the middle of scenes anyway.

Well, that's pretty darn gorgeous.
I'm still kind of afraid to believe in it.

The fact that they're all actual teenagers with actual teenage voices is throwing me for a loop, too. Too many years of Hollywood casting 20-somethings as teenagers has ruined my brain.
ETA: It looks like Bumi is going to be appropriately old. I know there was some grumbling from some fans when they cast a younger actor, but you're not going to find a buff elderly actor who can do convincing action sequences.

Did anyone watch Fall of the House of Usher? I think I may have fallen in love with Mike Flanagan, and horro is not my cup of tea. But it is so good. And now I mainlined Midnight Mass. Wow- the acting and the writing are so good, and I just love seeing all the same actors. They are so good- like a repertory company.

Flanagan's stuff is great, though my favorite is The Haunting of Hill House.

Did anyone watch Fall of the House of Usher?
I did. The game of counting down all the horrible Poe retelling deaths in the family was fun, even if the framing sequence monologues were a bit boring. And Carla Gugino was amazing!
