As long as they get Snyder out of the picture to boot. Somehow.

This feels worryingly plausible.

I know, weird. Wish I could feel bad about it but I’m just too damn excited.

Bye CJA

So we are seeing CA:CW in less than 48 hours. I promise not to spoil it for my friends across the pond (that’s you lot). In fairness, the first post after seeing it will be incomprehensible [picks a GIF at random due to rank impossibility of picking a best one]

It is indeed. I urge you to watch The Meaning of Life, which is even better

When the Blu-ray of the final cut came out a friend had just bought a player, and he had a big screen. This was when they were just becoming affordable, and the last time I saw it was on VHS. We watched it twice because the first time we were so busy pointing and yelling at the astoundingness of it all
