At this point, I think I would enjoy a movie about regular people trying to avoid becoming collateral damage during a MoS or Avengers-style battle more than watching the battle itself. Turn the genre on its head, Internet!

Hey, U Talkin' U2 to Me?

I really want to hate this guy, but he's always shown a self-awareness that's very disarming. He's like a less-nerdy Topher Grace.

My one hope is that we get to see a few swear toads actually swearing. That would be enough fan service for me to excuse whatever changes they'll undoubtedly make to "streamline" the story.

Yes, I know exactly which character you mean. There's no way that scene makes it to screen as written, right? Although I guess like Potter the series did get darker as it went on (at least where I left it in book 5).

It's the latter. Low hanging fruit, I know, but Smith was a fucking steamroller on his HDTGM episode. I'm sure Scheer would never publicly cosign on such a statement; that's show-biz, after all.

"Better to lose big than to lose small." -David Simon in a nutshell. Can't wait to watch the rest of this story unfold.

I thought he was going to say he hated it because just seeing the name gives him Kevin Smith flashbacks.

The cool kids eventually learn that even butt rashes can be cool, after the rash talks them out of a traffic stop.

Curse you LaToya for thinking of that "other Scott and Scott" thing first! Usage adopted.

Did anyone catch Cosby's last pre-backlash Tonight Show appearance? He kept making Jimmy drop pens in a mug to simulate the sound of standing up in your 70s, and then got mad at him over and over for screwing up the timing.

Who loves orange soda?

I'm gonna be really upset about this when I binge-watch this show in a few years. Not a second before then.

That's nucking futs!

That line about mini-champagne bottles is no joke; in the 2 1/2 years I worked at the biggest theater in Knoxville, Magic Mike was the only film that consistently had liquor bottles (big and small, sometimes still half-full) littering the rows after every single showing.

Never finished Xenocide, but I believe it's at the end of Speaker for the Dead. The descolada is less interesting to me than Card's portrayal of two intelligent species trying to coexist on the same planet, and the ongoing ramifications of Ender's actions as a child even after millennia. I think it could be a great…

Yeah, the second act would definitely be a bit of a slog, but I remember the ending being pretty fantastic (and a good way of tying into the previous book). Of course, I said the same about the original ending of Enders Game, and look how that turned out.

I haven't read Speaker for the Dead since middle school, but I always felt like it could make a great sci-fi film if done faithfully. Unfortunately, ritualistic vivisection and the physics of near-lightspeed travel aren't the biggest box office draws, so it'll probably never happen.

I was part of the Rooster Teeth community back in the day (a trauma I'm still recovering from), and I was always shocked how many respected posters over there inexplicably loved this movie. Couldn't even make it through the first 15 minutes.
