Ummm... who said it needed saving?

Oh that's right, the suits. Silly me.

This guy was my first hint that Jackson had jumped the shark with The Hobbit series. Just totally pulled me out of the film, especially considering a: how great Gollum has always looked; a b: how amazing Hellboy looks (which is my go-to for "see, you can pull off a character whose MOSTLY humanoid with an actor in…

I just watched this today, so my selection is probably a bit skewed, but I'd say the Angel of Verdun fits the bill nicely! Emily Blunt... can she do no wrong?

That is the best.

Thanks!

Gonna have to check this out, but I gotta ask: where did that great header image come from and why isn't it the cover of the book (which in my opinion is a little... meh.)

It's like putting a band-aid over a bullethole wound.

I totally get the complaint of this song. It's horrendous. However, can someone please explain to me how "back to 'Anaconda' on repeat" is any better? Are we implying that THAT song is empowering? It's disgusting and not even clever. Fill me in on how this works.

That tweet from Chris Fields is just... mind-boggling. I can't believe someone would sink that low and be so gross.

So creepy lol. (I "lol" because otherwise I would cry uncontrollably.)

I wrote a little article about this in response to the last time io9 talked "epic" and I stand by what I said then:

Can't wait to see this. Emily Blunt elevates everything she's in. Just watched The Adjustment Bureau and it's a decent flick, but she's absolutely memorizing in it. And Looper, for me, is a top notch film that she made even better.

Wow. I haven't seen this and never really want to. It looked like a dumb cash-grab idea from the get-go. Here's the problem...

I fucking love you right now.

Read the sample of Golem and the Jinni. Really engrossing, but I haven't pulled the trigger on buying it yet.

Really solid and uniquely framed portal fantasy. Bonus, it's free on Amazon right now, so take advantage of it!

Damn. Nice theories. A lot to unpacked here; a very thoughtful article. Well done. I love True Detective and I love that articulate people love it enough to write about it so I can keep reading about it!

How does CG look better than this? I haven't a clue.

Or the idea of "Nic Cage in a crazy wig is a wizard from the days of Merlin who hangs around New York until he finds an apprentice who messes everything up."

Seriously. The book is heavily cliched but it was a serviceable fantasy tale that could've made for a cool movie. And they cast Jeremy Irons as Brom, which (I think) is effing perfect (Robert Carlyle was a great choice), and then they pissed all over it. So much squandered potential. A best-selling series and you…
