Did that finally come out?
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Came and went. Flopped.

Maybe it'll be Netflixable just for Charlie Hunnam appreciation.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The thing is, an adaptation of the Arthur story transposed into the modern day with the "kingdom" being a British criminal operation could have been a decent new take on an old story. The actual Sixth Century AD legendary characters speaking and acting like modern London thugs, not so much.
What I want to know is who greenlit a $175 million budget for this turkey?

The funniest thing I saw was in the Wikipedia article, where the studio was hoping to launch a six-picture shared Arthurian universe. Guys, c'mon. I know you all want to be Marvel, but there are reasons they succeeded beyond "bunch of movies with many characters, sometimes in common."

Sounds like it'd be a good graphic novel series.

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.
I'm curious how DC's "Screw it, we're skipping straight to the Justice League" gambit is going to pan out. By all rights it should just crash and burn under its own weight but the trailers have been promising.

I'll begrudgingly admit that a Justice League movie with reshoots and rewrites by Joss will be an improvement than a Justice League movie entirely by Zack Snyder.
Probably not a whole lot better.
Definitely better one-liners, though.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't have a whole lot of faith in Joss anymore. I'd really rather he stay far the hell away from Diana. (And I'd bet folding money that there's a scene with her barefoot now that he's doing reshoots.)

I don't either, but he's still better than Zack Snyder.
