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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I saw the unfinished first 30 minutes of Spider-Verse at NYCC, and it was amazeballs. I can't wait.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Into the Spider-Verse just won the Best Animated Feature in the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. Bodes well for its chances comes Oscar time, even though NYFCC skews less mainstream. I don't think we have a runaway front-runner this year like Coco from last year in this category. Like, Incredibles 2 did monster box office but critical reception was kinda lukewarm.
The full list of winners: [link]
I really like those winners, some surprising and unexpected. Regina Hall is fantastic in Support the Girls, which came and went in our tiny neighborhood repertory theater in a blink. It's a gem of a film and I'm glad it's being recognized. It should be available on streaming soon, I'd think. Highly recommended.
I keep hearing amazing things about the documentary that won, Mind the Gap, which is streaming on Hulu, I believe. It beat out the Mr. Rogers movie, RBG, Free Solo and Three Identical Strangers. Quite a year for docs.

Mind the Gap was fantastic! Highly recommended.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Aquaman looks good. I'm afraid I haven't seen much DC lately, aside from Wonderwoman. Do we know who the woman with the extraordinarily red hair is in the trailer? [link]

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500
That's Mera, who plays the same role as Trinity in the Matrix, i.e. the more skilled and powerful female character who trains the protagonist, and is written out of the third act.

That trailer had a lot less shirtless and/or wet Jason Momoa than I have come to expect.

DH said the first half of Aquaman was a slog but it was enjoyable overall. (I keep seeing blurbs like "Best DC movie since Wonder Woman!" and wondering if those critics remember just how low that bar is.)

What DC movies have come out since Wonder Woman? Anything besides Justice League?
