I rewatched Silence of the Lambs recently enough that I can how Buffalo Bill is problematic. But there is a lot in that film that can give audiences pause over 20 years later. It's a great film, a classic, but it reflects another era. Watch it with a grain of salt, but watch it.

Thank goodness. That film was OK, but I didn't get why it was such a big deal.

I loved it until that season where Michael Emerson showed up and the story became pure melodrama.

The Animatrix. Came as a gift with the player when my in laws bought it as an anniversary present.

Oh lord, we have to sit through a ton of Diana crap at the end of the month, don't we?

Liked The Dark Tower. A good old fashioned b movie with good performances that in no way actually adapts the books but captures their spirit.

Anyone else misread that headline as "meme?"

Or they'll think about Duncan Kane from Veronica Mars and fall asleep.

Times I buy a drink every week from Dunkin Donuts: six

And yet that was actually a poignant story, probably the only poignant story we will ever see with that character.

Honestly, "we don't talk about it" was enough. Instead of lampshading it, it just smashed the lightbulb and we all moved on.

Same here.

I still use emoticons. :(

Not very. I have that Locke and Key special from the spring, and a few TPBs from the library. I don't buy many comics compared to many, and usually read them on my commute by Friday morning.

1. I like that Lear is using this to protest something specific, instead of just saying "my god, I can't stand to be in the same nation as that man, let alone the same room." Though that would have been fine, too.

Light week at the LCS for me. Nightwing has definitely started to slump, entirely based on how the supporting cast is being handled. Deathstroke was good but I am starting to feel like there is some small element missing from issue to issue that prevents it from being as great as past Priest books.

Same odd same odd.

Nonplayer bothers me so much, and is sort of the model for what Image does wrong. They are so busy not telling the creators what to do that they forget there is a difference between "you have make this edit" and "you really need to prove you can handle a publishing schedule."

In general I like Snyder's Bat-work. But he's done better with new villains than with the old. And his Riddler did nothing for me.
