(snif)  You are awesome.  Never forget that.  You will also discover this:  going through all this makes you impossible to threaten.

wallflower Is Listening To. . .

It's not easy for him, you know.

As do I.  It's not Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but 1) some pretty good acting from Geena Davis, 2) Samuel L. Jackson and Brian Cox being awesome, and 3) some surprisingly poetic imagery from Harlin (the use of water to signal memories coming back and the really beautiful moment of killing the deer).

Yes we are, and yes it was.

@avclub-eede55069a8d3430b54730901f49c230:disqus :  that's really not what I was trying to express yesterday, but you know what, I can see now how it might have come across that way, and I'm sorry about that.  (Apologies to Sam Adams when he has some new writing.)

Oh God, those are always nightmares.  Good luck.  And congratulations!  May you now be employed, or at least not sober.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus :  I defer to your judgment on this, because this was the first time I'd seen his comments in a while.  In previous years, I remember him as forceful but reasonable; if that's changed recently, I wouldn't have known.

Another fair point.  The tone of the article felt more suited to I Watched This on Purpose.  Watch This is a newer feature and I suspect the new team is still figuring it out.

Were we really that bad?  Juanito got all up in your face (which was unusual for him), but I felt a lot of the comments were on the level of "seriously, Sam?" rather than hostile.  That's what I was going for, anyway, and I apologize if it came off as anything else.

That's a good point, but it raises another one:  is horror something you can sustain, like a TV series?  Horror films have definite endpoints and releases, but this is something that's been going for something like 8 hours total and will continue for at least another 10.  Horror is deeply illogical, and deeply…

Damn, I was just looking for this in the CZ.  Thanks!

Can't believe I left out the first scene of the movie:  killing the Comedian.  In Moore and Gibbons, what the scene is about, what the drawings make us feel, is that the Comedian accepts his death; his face is incredibly sad and he doesn't put up much of a fight.  (Now that I'm remembering it, I don't think he fights…

Some other points:  Dan and Laurie's fight in the alley.  As written and drawn, it's about sublimated sexual tension, and it leaves them both exhausted.  It's a professional fight, and a realistic fight; you can see clearly how each of them does what's necessary to put people down, but that's it.  Snyder films it with…

Aw thanks.  It's been a wonderful experience really working through and writing about what makes it so damn great.  Next week we get the Hannibal moment, where the creators show us how the series works by doing it completely wrong.

Aw, she probably says that to all the men here.

Safe journey my friend.  Have some seafood, mojitos, like that.  Is your wife coming over later?  Because her big ass always leaves me satisfied.
