I went to a convention that had both Norman Reedus and Jon Bernthal. I don't recall Bernthal having a line to meet him, but I could have missed it behind the mile long line to see Reedus (not sure if that's an exaggeration or not).

You know, when I realized that I had a love of urban fantasy detective stories, I didn't think it could possibly be that big a pool. I mean, that seems pretty damn specific, doesn't it?

I used to work with someone in their thirties who finished practically every sentence with "like." Wish I was joking. Sample sentences:

Holy crap. I looked up the story, and yeah, that is dark as hell. Kind of makes me want to go back and read old Miracleman/Marvelman.

I predict 90% of the population just lays down to watch The Simpsons and lets themselves die, the other 10% become ravaging cannibals who comment snarkily about it.

Sounds like far too much fun for a DC movie. Can we drop the smiling and replace the one-liners with half-baked philosophy?

@Eat_Up_Martha:disqus is still technically correct, the best kind of correct.

You can, and if that's fine by you then great. For me, it was tonally jarring for the series to go from horror/sci-fi to post-apocalyptic fantasy. I've enjoyed media that straddle several genres over their lifetimes, but in that book series it felt abrupt and out of place to me.

*grumble* Couldn't find any proof online so I edited my post to point out how I could easily be wrong.

They don't have to be, but the authors made them exclusive. There were only one or two supernatural elements in the first book (psychic power and silver), but by the third book they had abandoned all scientific pretense for entirely supernatural.

Gotta be honest, I felt like the entire concept was in bad taste when I first saw adds for it in April.

They added that line to the scene because test audiences didn't like the main character raping a woman, for some reason. PC thugs, amiright Gene Simmons?

Sorcery. Possibly of the pelvic variety.

Don't forget Gen-X'ers. I mean, this is 1994 week.

I believe that Gene Simmons made a statement that could be interpreted as an apology.

Then they should have thought ahead and saved the Tournament of Clickbait for this obvious period of doldrums.

While we're mentioning *SPOILERS* from the books, God actually unequivocally exists in the universe of The Strain and is intimately tied to vampires. I remember thinking that the almost purely scientific vampires of the first book were a really cool change from the norm. But by the time the third book comes around,…

I have seen such a thing before. The smell of it is much worse than the sight of it.

So they got to you, too…
