True enough.

But goblins and orc *are* different in the PJ films.

Seronac3 posted a thoughtful, useful post; you've offered nothing but snark. Who's the narcissist?

I think this is kind of an amazing idea, though I'm not sure that Paul Williams is the guy for the job. More of a Sondheim kinda thing, I woud have thought.

I have a hurt in my soul, seeing this art and knowing it will never happen.

Thought about this— but I'm on the fence. When is he cooler than Batman?

I was gonna be so mad if Spider Jerusalem wasn't on this list!

Ang Lee is a treasure— so I'm hopeful that he won't turn this book into the kitschfest that Lovely Bones became under Peter Jackson.

I have an old-fashioned potato ricer; I just chunked up some watermelon and squeezed it in the ricer over a bowl, a couple chunks at a time. A little resistance, a very sudden and satisfying squish, and instant watermelon juice, no drill required.

Zack Snyder's made two of the emptiest, ugliest, most morally bankrupt comic book adaptations ever. Giving him a Superman movie is like commissioning a movie about Ringling Brothers clown college from John Wayne Gacy.

Oh, man— it's my favorite book ever. Imagine Neil Gaiman and Herman Melville collaborating on an infinitely better (and infinitely funnier) version of Gangs of New York.

The first sentence (excluding the prologue, which is also great) of Mark Helprin's novel Winter's Tale.

The real danger (according to Lewis Carroll) is that your snark turns out to be a boojum:

So Jon is the bastard son of Voldemort and Mrs. Coulter?

I saw this at the New Victory in NYC— what an amazing piece of theater. These guys went on to do an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Wolves in the Walls.

"Tween girls see images of Cthulhu Barbie," says media critic Jean Kilbourne, "and they ask, 'why aren't I that squamous? Why can't I have rubbery, obscene wings like Cthulhu Barbie?' It eats away at their souls and drives them slowly insane. Which is, of course, exactly the point."

I'm a huge fan of Art Rage— particularly the way it lets you mix colors on the canvas with tubes of paint and an empty palette knife. I've been using it to teach myself how to draw— the simple layers interface and crisp zoom have made it ideal for that purpose.

greatest ending ever— Heinlein's short story "All You Zombies." My brain is still broken after that.
