But stuff like The Black Freighter and the newspaper clippings in Watchmen weren’t paratext, they’re text. They were created by Moore and Gibbions to flesh out the the story and, unlike Peteypedia, are included with the story rather than in supplemental material.  

Yup. He was terminated as an FBI agent and the contents of his desk given away - including “a jug of what appears to be some kind of canola oil”. 

As someone here said last week. If they don’t stick the landing it’s the journey. That landing I think came very close. To humanize a superhero/god in the moments of death Manhattan/Cal was genuinely great and it was surprisingly moving. The mechanics to get there were fine in a kind of techno-forward dance club…

Fact: Scientists calculate that by the year 2100 every single person on the face of the Earth will have been fired by American Gods.

o.O

I just found this. Looks like they snuck in a little bit more of the DC TV universe in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

The scene where Flash-90 takes Flash-1’s speed and then gets back on the cosmic treadmill was perfect. The music, the flashback - perfect.

Cheetah is WW's most famous villain, mostly due to being in the Legion of Doom in Superfriends. She used to just wear a bodysuit that gave her cat-like strength and agility, but in recent years they turned her into a genetic scientist and had her splice her genes to become a cheetah beast woman. 

I sure hope they didn’t show her taking out the security cameras in the mall just to keep continuity.

And then they decided that was crap so they’re ignoring it, just like pretty much everything else in BvS (remember that floating dirt that was apparently just meaningless?).

Excellent

Hot. As. Fuck.

Hey Warner Bros., I challenge you not to reveal Wiig’s Cheetah in any promo material.

I don’t know who Cheetah is, but I said “Holy Hell” when Wiig in that outfit was walking up the stairs in slo-mo. She’s a very beautiful woman.

I haven't actually watched the trailer yet because I'm reading this on my phone while I'm on the can, but I think I can confidently say that no, Wiig is definitely the star here.

I’m going to have see if I can fit into my old parachute pants because I am so there when this movie comes out.

OMG she’s RIDING THE LIGHTNING

Wow. That takes me back. I said the exact same thing about M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender!

Coincidentally:

The Irishman conceives of this infamous assassin as a man with no philosophy or vision of his own, a man who follows orders and makes no choices, a man who allowed himself to be pulled along through history, to become an instrument of others’ ambition and corruption.
