I think promo is more about reminding people that the movie exists and is out NOW.

Vessel for what? A vessel meant to contain what?

This is the reason. Ezra Miller going psycho didn’t help, but this is the reason.

This is pretty typical in book publishing, though — when a celebrity is willing to “write” something that their face will go on the front-cover of, a massive amount of money gets shoveled their way.

Reminds me of how I recommend Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy to people: Read the first ten pages of Annihilation. If you think it’s hypnotic and engrossing, then buy all three books; they’re all like that. But if you’re left wondering whether a plot will appear, then abandon the books now; they’re all like…

We started washing everything in cold water (the technology in the detergents is really good now for cold water washing), so we don’t generally need to worry about colours running anyway.

Yeah, I had the misfortune to watch Blade III recently, and there was a lot of things that should have helped salvage it, but didn’t.

Kenji Lopez-Alt actually did a comparison study of different techniques for making sun tea and was able to show that:

He has no genitals. Of course he doesn’t know how to fuck. His crotch is as smooth as a newly-opened tub of margerine.

He’s got a divorce looming. There is a pre-nup, but after 19 years and three kids, the pre-nup may not hold.

Look, I’m just sayin’ -- great cheekbones either way, but there’s more there now.

Oh, thank feckin’ goodness.

You don’t care very intensely.

The Snyderverse Superman movies landed like this too — not bad box office at all, but also not fantastic. People turned out to see it, but not with enough enthusiasm to convince the fence-sitters to come with them.

Depp’s cheekbones are very not-real, correct? There’s photos of her from when she was younger, and she had fantastic cheekbones, but they don’t mound out from her face like these fantastic cheekbones do.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was a little flummoxed about the books being portrayed as incredible science fiction. I didn’t dislike them, and I do tend to have trouble getting immersed in translated works anyway, but it still didn’t really seem like there was much there.

Yeah, in the books, Dany comes from a long lineage of inbred crazy people, and GRRM is pretty resolute about making every single character a messy person, whether they’re one of the “good” ones or not.

In keeping with that, this was my favourite Tweet-joke, grumping on the fact Netflix keeps cancelling good shows after one season:

Those are honestly impressive-looking action scenes in the trailer.

My wild-ass prediction is Guillermo is an energy vampire, like Colin Robinson.
