Von Sydow's character in this movie is, intentionally or not, absolutely hilarious in his stoicism. Despite his general strength and competence EVERYTHING goes to absolute hell ALL THE TIME, and his typical answer is to roll up his sleeves with a slight sigh.

"Ingeborg Farrow" is a really stupid name.

Yeah, Cardigans had reasonable enough commercial success after Lovefool that I think it's harsh calling them a one hit wonder, even if it might apply to the US specifically. Both Gran Turismo and Long Gone Before Daylight are by the way excellent records.

I can kind of buy that Oliver Queen mostly hits people in the shoulders and other non-lethal areas, but Diggle shoots them several times, often in the back, as well as throwing people over railings. Those guys aren't getting up again.

This might be a product of my fevered imagination, but wasn't there a big deal about Arrow turning a new leaf by not killing people any longer back in season 2 or 3? If so, that certainly doesn't seem to extend to Diggle, who's capping fools left and right this season.

Even people in lifelong relationship are rarely in love with each other all their lives, so why wouldn't you sooner or later be able to get over someone who you're not even seeing anymore? I apologize if I'm disregarding some important aspect of the situation (the "both our lives are ruined"-part suggest that I…

With the caveat that I'm no expert on the American legal system, it's absolutely astonishing to me how Dassey's lawyers could lose that case. Krantz, Fassbender et. al, who certainly didn't look like the sharpest pencils in the Avery trial, ran rings around them the whole time.

I thought he was pretty good in a low-key role in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Winding Refn is Danish and not Dutch, right?

I'm a bit more harsh on Exciter than that. I think it's obvious that Gore struggled with the songs for that album and that the inspiration just isn't there for large parts of it. It was apparently intended to be a lot more experimental at one point, which would have been a cool way to tackle it. On the version we…

Tried a recipe from a grocery delivery service that I got a tryout-deal with for Christmas; bulgur with tomato sauce, fresh thyme, feta, roasted tomatoes and poached eggs. Solid stuff, but the convenience of getting groceries and recipes to match delivered to my door was fantastic. Too bad I most probably won't ever…

The current volume of Suicide Squad is written by Sean Ryan, whom I hadn't heard of before, and although rumor is that the title's gotten better it was bad enough for me to drop it around 6 months ago. However, Tim Seeley and Juan Ferreyra is slated to be the new creative team in a few moths or so, and they have both…

Batman #48 Finally truly kicked ass again, after not really having grabbed me for a couple of issues. Snyder makes fantastic work of the cliffhanger from the last issue, and when Capullo and FCO is on their game they're probably the best art team in the industry.

TELL DEH TROOOUF, Will.

…and the influx of bankable stars continue!

Oh for fuck's sake! Now this?!

I have a friend who, to this day, still can't accept that I only asked him to check his health level to see how much damage I had done to him earlier with a grenade, and not to make him look down at his controller so I could sneak up and shoot him in the back.
