Are there any defenders of this book? I've seen a few panels online with horribleness implied (or even expressly stated (but not shown)) but also a few panels of awesomeness (Nyarlathotep melding into artwork had that kind of art as another world vibe to it that the recursive panel pictures in The Courtyard did). And…

What's the content like on this? OK to have on in the car with kids in the backseat?

Isn't it sad that a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs?

He'd kind of done the whole "Dark" thing already. Miracleman, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen all went down the dark and gritty route and its like he was trying to show that that wasn't the only way you could tell a good story. Though to be fair I seem to remember some grit in Top 10, or at least The Forty-Niners.

To me it was always the failure of Manhattan's logic. Yes Laurie's life has been incredibly improbable. Exceedingly unlikely events have combined to cause her first to be, and then to be who she has become. But the same can be said of every rock formation in the canyons, every red dune on the surface of Mars. I never…

I agree. And I was there.

The day we traded our Bruce Lees for Steven Seagals.

Same here. Mostly due to the duet with Elmo.

But I mean we all like glitter, right?

Seeking across the radio I'd caught this a few times and thought it was pretty good, the kind of song made for licensing to commercials and film with its soaring chorus and uplifting message, but I'd never heard the beginning. Then one day I dismissively changed station away from some piece of shit song with horrible…

I always liked the exchange at the end between Veidt and Manhattan.

First I've heard of any of this Charlton stuff so that's exactly what I'd assumed. They represented superhero archetypes, not any particular superhero.

I've seen them twice live. Once at DAR Consititution Hall where they told everyone to stay seated and had a very sedate show, and this last time at Merriweather where it was a whole different atmosphere with Stuart running through the crowd and pulling people up on stage. Either way worth a watch though.

And didn't he have another good"-ish" movie where some slenderman type thing escaped from the background of old pictures and films? Or was that not him? I seem to remember it being linked to Insidious though. I could check I guess but IMDB is all the way over there…

I on the otherhand didn't like House of the Devil but loved The Innkeepers. Can anyone who's seen this say where this one falls between those on the atmospheric horror scale?

A lovable mess?

Ah Alice Krige. Adolescent me was infatuated with her and yet terrified of her (thanks mostly to Ghost Story). I assume the feeling was pretty common and that was why she ended up cast as the Borg Queen.

He admits he's the guilty party. When he looks back upon his life, its always with a sense of shame.

I think at this point you have indeed enumerated all possibilities.
