As long as they don't neglect the bicycle scene, I'm in.

I bet Anna Gunn and Maureen Ryan wouldn't frame dislike of the character as in issue of gender politics if Skyler was A MAN!  GOD!

"This is why I wrote about it in such oblique terms as to render it completely meaningless."

Good lord, I got to get back in the game.  I didn't even realize hating them was, like, a thing.  Can't argue with it, but would've have bothered on my own.  I did laugh at the part when they all have banjos, though.

Apparently that's the thing to do when you're a wandjer.

what the hell is "Darwinian violence"?

Mystery Men was #1!  All other superhero misfit comedies are #2 or lower.

My impression of Sanderson is that I've only read his books and there's no apparent anti-gay sentiment and a fair amount of scrutinizing the relationship between religion, religious institutions, and personal conviction.

and where are they going to find an actor whose thighs are wider than he is tall?

They're always in the last place you look: Turkmenistan.

I'd settle for laudanum.  I used to prescribe that to computer people in grade school, so how bad can it be?

You know what else makes people feel better about themselves?  Drugs.

Am I the only one who thought Wall-E was far weaker than Up, Toy Story 3, or Brave?

I heard someone say (maybe the NPR reviewer?) that Snyder didn't so much adapt Watchmen as embalm it.  It was faithful, and it looked pretty good, but he missed the soul of the thing.  I'm not certain anyone could do better but it would have been a lot more interesting if it were abitious and terrible.   I actually…

Honestly, this counts as nearly appropriate casting in a remake.  I'm in.

Story I heard, JGL did it due to a childhood love of the franchise.  Can't blame him, those were easily the best action figures at the time.

"For nearly nine minutes, Oswalt demonstrates his supreme command of the nerd universes of Star Wars, Marvel, and other miscellany"
Ehhhhh he had the X-Men in a quinjet.  The X-Men's plane is actually a blackbird modified with Shi'ar technology.

Yeah, I grew up in the midwest, but went to a high school run by British monks.  A large number of my english teachers were English ex-pats, and I've falling into that trap a lot over the years.
