Lewis Barnavelt from The House With A Clock In Its Walls by John Bellairs. That was essentially me as a kid, though I was skinny instead. Otherwise... an accurate representation.

and reveal a heretofore unseen villain who’s hiding a “terrifying secret” about the planet’s destruction

Yup. I liked the look of the film overall, but there were a lot of places where it felt like Snyder completely missed the themes and subtleties that made the comic itself great. It was a beautiful, shallow film.

I don’t understand why this show will exist when they could make a Soooo weekly buddy-comedy with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.

I rented Goemon so often, my dad just bought it for me. That was the most nonsensical, amazing game. Time to look up the music on YouTube!

Dig-dig-diggity dog.

My wife loves him and I think that’s going to end it for us.

Based on his blogs and such, it seems like he’s 1000% a perfectionist and struggles to want to release the book before he feels it’s finished. And that includes agonizing over every chapter, every phrase, every word.

Yeah if you’ve already lost a turtle before that (which as a kid, I usually lost at least one to sucking at games) that damn level suuuuucks.

I always wonder if casting directors are aware of Mr Show when casting Bob Odenkirk in things. That scene especially is a favorite.

He’s said in no uncertain terms that he won’t be taking over on the show after he’s done with Good Omens (which should be wrapping in April). I’m a bit disappointed, but... I need more Gaiman novels.

Well people pay $7 for the flavors and milk. Which is equally stupid.

But a 12 oz cup of straight-up coffee is still just $2. Of course, it’s overpriced but so is everything you don’t make at home.

I loved that cascara. It temporarily brought me out from my cold brew stupor.

i.e.: literally the best thing about the show.

The never-ending Riftwar saga (and similar series) is actually the reason why I stopped reading fantasy in college.

For me, it was American Gods on Starz, more specifically the lengthy interrogation scene. Everyone involved was pitch perfect, but Cripsin Glover really knocked it out of the park.

I loved the Canto Bight scenes, but they’re unnecessary, overcomplicate the plot of the film, and are also lack any sort of subtlety.

Neil Gaiman’s was one of my favorites.

What in the actual FUCK is this guy on?
