He’s big enough to pass as a former football player, blonde and funny. Make him the DCU’s Booster Gold?

Sure!

Maybe the dingo ate her accent.

Well, they are very sensitive. Hence the whole 20%-more-anaesthetic thing.

As a fan of 1985's Ladyhawke, starring Michelle Pfeiffer in her prime (also with Rutger Hauer as her lover and Matthew Broderick as a comic relief thief), I am glad that the oft-neglected “woman cursed to turn into an animal daily at some appointed time” genre is getting a new movie!

Nah - Amy Adams and Isla Fisher get confused for one another and Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain get confused for one another. And Julianne Moore is always recognised as Julianne Moore.

Is it racist to not be able to tell rangas apart? 

What a lovely day in the AVClub when we can get both Isla Fisher AND Amy Adams stories.

Woah, my username survived the transition? Cool.

I have to say THANK YOU. I’ve never heard anyone else point out how terrible this set of books is before, so I’m glad to hear someone else say it! I got not even halfway through the second book before reading the wiki summary, and being glad I did so I could quit the books. The first one had interesting ideas, but…

I assume it’s because the bar for “prestige” SF is relatively low. I fell off after two slow, self important episodes that somehow managed to be less interesting than the book (a collection of dull infodumps offered by paper thin characters strolling from plot point to plot point).

I watched the Netflix version. I thought it was okay. (Watch the frozen head guy return if there are other seasons, as Humanity builds starships capable of catching up to his “lost” capsule.)
