But don't Herzog's films tend to develop momentum vs. have huge opening weekends? ::crosses fingers, prays to St. Voiceover for this to be true::

It's never explained in the fairy tale itself, but there are old superstitions in which goblins stole children to change them into their own kind. The superstition was sorta an old-timey PSA to get people not to leave their babies unattended, lest they be stolen away and "changed" by something evil.

Part of the momentum dragging the show down, I think, is the Ben-Leslie relationship stuff. I get that they have to work together and it's hard, but too many episodes this season have teased the "will they really be able to stay broken up?" aspect. NO. Stay broken up, please. I love these characters too much to see

What knockers!

It's not nearly as douchey as the following (actually used on me by a guy at a bar): "So…what do you think about Heidegger?"

Laughing AT a one-man party? That's a paradox.

Whew. I thought you all were just ignoring me. ::steps away from ledge::

It's heart healthy.

You can totally tell he plagiarized from Tracy Morgan's letter.

You're one of the lucky ones.

Reynolds is my Newman.

Are you saying this election system is flawed?!

Truth. But they still have half that equation. I'm totally hoping Lucy Lawless will get her best bitch-from-hell vengeance on in Season 2. 

Jupiter's cock, that's a lot of cock!

A plague o' all your catering, Starz!

Let's not lose sight of what's important here, Scorsese: maintaining the narrative thread.

Hayden Christensen is my least favorite hologram.

The mom character is over the top, to be sure. I appreciate the thought behind her character, though, and since she's a small part of the film, it was nice that it didn't have too much of an impact on the overall film.

Do it for Chloe Moretz too. Jenkins is incredible, but as a young actress, I think Moretz is one of the best.
