YOUR QUEST FOR THE INCA CITY HAS COME TO AN END.

I assume they're holding back the talking dream-panther for a later trailer.

We call them maize.

Oh, are we still pretending that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is in any way an accurate title and not the Holy Roman Empire of awards-givers? Fine, I can play ball.

How hard could it be?

Too late. I already had a bone to pick with Knight for its absurd grimdark nonsense ("Hey, we need a plot twist here, let's kill and/or abduct a woman!"). You can write a good Batman story without everyone being tortured all the time, dammit! Really! It's actually better!

Sweet Jesus Jones, what an unnecessarily grim story.

"It's still Obama? Oh my god, the talk radio cranks were right all along! He's become a mad dictator-for-life!"
"No, no, relax, we just haven't had the inauguration yet."
"Oh, phew. So who's taking his place?"

Ceci n'est pas une commente.

My parents have a framed photo of me as a young child with Santa, looking like I am just barely able to tolerate this shit. It is a perennial source of merriment.

Will you accept a boxing glove on a spring?

"Shut up or you'll be taking arrows everywhere but the knee!"

My weekend was pretty great. I'm visiting my parents for Christmas and it's been wonderfully relaxing. We went and bought a Christmas tree and then decorated it together while watching A Muppet Christmas Carol. Wholesome family fun! Most importantly, I've got roughly a week and a half with no serious work to do or…

Good lord, what did happen to Donald Blake? I think he was a separate entity from Thor for a while there, or maybe he was just a magical construct made by Odin… Crap, now this is going to bug me all day. Eh, beats working.

Wasn't Grimly Feendish in turn based on Uncle Fester of the Addams Family?
