"Well, just call me Mr. Butterfingers!"

I enjoyed the second more than the first since I think hewing the film closer to Del Toro's sensibilities makes more sense for a movie. The first did an admirable job of capturing Mignola's aesthetic in a live-action movie, but his heavy-black woodcut style and narrative brusqueness works so much better on the page.
Del…

I thought the animation style was serviceable for the stories, but man alive, I'd love to see a Hellboy cartoon a'la Amazing Screw-on Head that hews really close to Mignola's style.
That's unlikely to happen, but it would be beautiful.

So hold me mom, in your hyperbaric arms, in your claustrophobic arms.
Ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.

Get with the future, pussyshavers.

Naw, I really enjoy both Darksiders games. My playthrough of the first got as close to completing a game as I usually get these days.

Oh, man. I wish I had that kind of divinely imbued business acumen. Maybe then I'd be able to afford a shirt for my avatar.

You've been concentrating so much attention on Your Persona thread I didn't even know you were replaying IX. This far along, how does it hold up? I've replayed it a bit on the Vita, but haven't gotten far at all. In recollection, it's my favorite post-sprite Final Fantasy.

I was (ineptly) alluding to getting dizzy from oxygen deprivation from all the intense bouts of blowing into a NES cartridge to get it to work, but you are correct.

Huh. It always worked for me. It might have taken ten or twenty times, but eventually it would start up. But then again, the only NES game I could ever afford was "Symptoms of Hyperventilation 2000", so it may have been coincidence.

I enjoyed quite a lot about Dark City, but I'm still inordinately bothered that the Strangers revert to Cenobite apron-wear in their lairs. They're already water-averse brain aliens wearing human bodies like clothes. Just let 'em spend the whole movie rocking those awesome high-collared gabardine trench coats. They…

You are correct that humility and perspective are two invaluable aspects of faith that benefit us as a species greatly.
Sadly, they are also the two most underutilized aspects of faith in application to the public arena of religion and policy making.

Apropos of this, I'm finally right up to "The Rains of Castemere" episode of Game of Thrones and I'm actually tense as fuck about it.
I've read the books and I've gleefully read the comment threads of sites that review the show, just to savor that sweet, sweet anguish.
Yet here I am a year later, armed with every…

I think modern nerddom has a serious problem with not seeing the forest for the trees. When I'm on other sites and looking at posts commenters have made, other commenters stumble over each other to point out bits of errata in some vain hope to be… I dunno, more right? Better? And not actually approaching the theme of…

I feel pretty similar to The Ghost of Todd VanDerWerff, but applied to posting on pop-culture websites.
The A.V. Club remains largely blessedly free of this, but nothing infuriates me more than seeing a long, thoughtful post someone constructed and the the only replies they get is a slew of pedants pointing out or…

It's going to be a real struggle between his desire to torture his fans and his desire to torture his characters.

Everything I've read about it says that's what they plan to do. I think this seasons transition may be a bit thornier than most, since it's at the point where it's just beginning to lap the books.

I'm certain they are as well. Allow me to amend my original statement to say, the most important thing though, is that lavish screen time is devoted to all the Frey's getting murdered.

I am curious to see if that character develops in any meaningful way in the books. While I'm all for simple zombie vengeance, the setup for her to exist in this broken state while she sees what she thought was her slaughtered family come together for some, what I anticipate to be, truly magnificent ass-kicking will be…
