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.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

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.

That's definitely true.

Thrive to spite them

I saw Dark Tower today .

Haven't read it so I came to it fresh. I heard it is very different from the books.

It felt condensed. I liked it over all. Mostly Idris Elba.

Matthew McConaughey I don't know. I kept thinking he looked like a skeezy uncle. Also it wasn't scenery chewing but it was...low key over the top....maybe just bad because at times it seemed flat and over acted at the same time.

I recognized Jackie Earle Haley.

I didn't understand the point of thr face/skin stealing . Walter wanted it I guess.

Kid actor seemed decent.

The whole thing felt like the second half should have been a sequel and more story about Roland and Walter

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The actual Sixth Century AD legendary characters speaking and acting like modern London thugs, not so much.

We're still watching this (continued from last night), and honestly, who looked at the Arthurian legend and thought, "What this story needs is a bunch of Cockneys"?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Perhaps they got him confused with Arthur Daley? [link]
