Yeah, that's going to work. Old Henry, "Mr. Plank" Cavil trying his broody, limited,muted colour shtick on Kara's bright, primary colour world.
I've decided she's on some other Earth from that load of sepia grimness and faux angst.

Agreed; out of the what? Several months of subjective time those movies take, it's just that couple of minutes I actually enjoy. The rest ranges from boring, but tolerable as background distraction, to so clodhoppingly tone deaf and stupid I actually get angry. Over some fucking movies.

The one worthwhile, even magical moment for me in the entire prequals is entirely (and appropriately) CGI; it's the shot of Padme's ship flying over a fog bound Coruscant, the shadows rippling across the surface of the clouds and just the occasional peak of one of the gigantic buildings standing above the mist,

I remember watching Manhunter on video and being blown away by it. It's a very stylish, and stylised, film, although probably caught in some odd lacuna between "old fashioned" and "classic" right now. Brian Cox is probably my favorite Lector; way more intelligent and menacing than Hopkin's rather hammy turn. I also

Oddly enough, I read "ruling" as "ruining" at first.
But then, all I've ever seen him in was an execrable comedy movie about taxis.

It was better when his books were being read by William Robertson, who sounds the way you imagine Bryson would like to; a soothing, whiskey and cigarettes baritone with a nice ability to shift accents.
Bryson himself has a breathy, uncertain and rather petulant tenor, which really doesn't make for a relaxing

26 percent of Americans think video games are a big dumb waste of time

HWÆT, WE GAR-DEna in geardagum,

To be fair, though,13th Warrior wasn't too bad.Really quite entertaining, in fact. It's a shame McTiernen didn't get to release his cut of the movie.
And in Eaters of the Dead, Crichton says he was trying to tell a story that may have inspired the Beowulf myth.

In the first draught of the pilot, Sheldon is definitely not a virgin; the cute geek girl ,who becomes Howard and Raj in the second and third iterations, has slept with him. He also has a proclivity for generous hindquarters (which he justifies as both practical and evolutionary; a big butt means a wide pelvic gidle

What was really interesting about this, Jack Reacher premise aside, is the relationship between Holmes Sr. and Jr.: Morland is clearly a second pass at Mycroft, which character they now realise they screwed up with irredeemably.

What I thought initially; except they took it places the Reacher movie wouldn't have gone. Probably because they'd confuse their audience.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Yes, Steel and Cyborg are different characters.Steel was a guy who tried to fill the void left by Superman's death and Cyborg is currently a major player in the Justice League (I'm inking a page featuring him at the moment) so I'm pretty sure he'll be in the JL movie, at least.

Sounds more like "ennuineers", from all I've heard.

Yes, but, the difference is, I've been making a living as an "artist" (I hate that word)for about twenty years. In this one area, I actually know what I'm talking about and I know good drawing when I see it. This isn't it.

Oh Jesus. More shitty artwork.
What the fuck, Marvel? I realise you have a lot of books to put out, but hiring people with at least a basic grasp of formal drawing skills would really help. This crap looks like something doodled on the corner of an envelope by someone taking a boring phone call.

"The episode title, “Handcuffs,” refers not only to spanking props but
all of the things that bind us and keep us from what we really want to
do."

See, knowing that D and D stuff, now I want to see it.

It'll do it, but only if it gets its own trailer this time.
