I actually wouldn't mind remakes as much if they weren't always ~ironic~ and turning things that were generally played straight into farce. Did I want a 'straight' remake of The Lone Ranger? No, but the 3:10 to Yuma remake (for example) was inoffensive because it didn't turn it into a joke. But things like Dark…

This is actually what made me sad when I saw POTC. I love old pirate/swashbuckling movies from the 40s and 50s and I was disappointed that there was all this magical stuff mixed up with my pirates. Pirates and magic makes me think of Peter Pan.

I definitely think it was a question of expectation — I at least expected the show to be something that hit (quality wise) within the same striking distance as the movies. I'm not talking about production values or glitzy CG, I just mean something with the same feel to it as MCU. Instead, we were given a subpar…

Aw, it reminds me of when I used to write press releases for a living! And...made me vomit in my mouth a little. God, I hated those things.

I love Sleepy Hollow but I do feel like the Katrina aspect has been one of its missteps. If Katrina is going to stick around, I really hope she gets out of limbo and comes into the present; she's never going to have a chance to gel with the cast if she's only interacting via expositional-info-dumps and flashbacks. I…

Thanks for the heads up! If I get lost, I'll do a little research. I basically threw myself into the deep end of the comics pool this summer for the first time ever, so trying to figure out wtf I'm reading isn't that much of a stretch at this point, LOL.

I'm already looking to see if my library has it. Thanks! :)

Thanks! I definitely will check it out.

Yeah, I'm working my way through what my public library has. I've read his Catwoman stuff and Gotham Central already, but Fatale is the only other thing I've read that wasn't Marvel.

Yep, mine is one of them.

I just found out yesterday from reading it on TVLine myself! (Hilariously, Gin Goodwin is dating Josh Dallas, so it's an actual Snow/Charming baby, lol.) I'm not sure either — some people have said that Belle/Rumple could have a child but I think two babies are too much in one season. Maybe someone will have a…

I started in Marvel with Brubaker's Cap stuff and I've slowly been making my way through everything else. I just finished reading Fatale. This is definitely on my list, too.

I haven't read this comic yet but I love Ed Brubaker. I'm reading just about everything I can get from my library by him. This is exciting!

Another point for the Charming/Snow baby is that Snow's actress is pregnant in real life, so it would be an easy way to accomodate it by writing it in.

Thanks to tumblr, I spent two years thinking he (and Derek) WERE the main characters. When I finally watched the show, I was like, 'who is this Scott person?!?!'

I did my senior history thesis (undergraduate) on Carter and his place within the history of human rights in the 20th century. He is the only U.S. president for decades who stood against the military governments in South America who were slaughtering their own people. A lot of his paper are available through the…

President Carter is an amazing man and I'm always glad to see some of the good things highlighted from his presidency. He is an incredible humanitarian, even if that never got him much play in his own country.

Stevie! Still so gorgeous.

Root was already announced as a regular for Season 3, when they promoted Shaw.

Thats sounds wickedly interesting! I really ended up heavy in the identity politics / theory of discourse arena and I did a lot of textual analysis of primary texts with books like Phyllis Curotte's Book of Shadows. One of the things I found really interesting from the theoretical perspective was the analysis of…
