What's bad about them? Horribly sad, yes, and maybe everyone's parents didn't feed them a steady diet of books on slavery and other institutionalised inhumanities man visits upon others, but still...this is much prettier and sweeter than, say, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry—just also weepy.

He's considered himself monstrous for a while.

I'm disappointed that it hasn't been a horror movie until now. You don't have to play with subtext to make the original story pretty nasty. There's a reason I rationed my Hans Christian Anderseon as a wee one. The mermaid does not get the guy—she doesn't even really survive the story.

I don't consider him a monster. I consider him the apex predator version of homo sapiens. New, improved, and dirty as fuck.

Creationism means God made everything, right? So he took the (pardon excessive inaccurate paraphrasing) stardust and made the elements and the planets and the stars and then he made the spark of life catch in the primordial soup, and that very special fish come out onto the land. Then he made it evolve into land…

That wasn't Dean's body or mind, just his memories and his appearance.

So you're not debunking old earth creationists today? I mean, look over beside you. Apparently some people don't even know they exist. What a marvellous opportunity that is, no?

Yes! Absolutely. There are creationists who believe the world is a gazillion years old. This is why I shake my hands at the skies, because how are people to respond to creationists in their variety if no one considers old earth creationists?

I'm not going to lie—the only monster who might get me to pick anyone other than Vampire Dean or RoboWithoutASoul Sam might be Godstiel.

I have a wee crush on this headline. It's making me giggle like a schoolgirl.

Given the title and the segue between the following two sentences, don't you feel that creationists who don't fall into:

Being the star of a movie doesn't an actor make.

I think the difference in mindset is important—Bruce (well, my Bruce, anyway) feels that suffering is an inherent part of forging a weapon to protect the innocents. And I think that comes from both the circumstance that triggered his choice and need to operate in secret.

Clearly Themyscira has to be the sort of place that breeds (okay, builds?) warriors like none we have to hand in Men's World, but I don't think that means it has to be hardscrabble. The Careers did okay, despite the relative amount of luxury they have access to compared to most of Panem.

You don't want them to cast an actress?

I was gonna give the point to the Funke comment, but you got it free and clear.

I've got one from fantasy, one from sci fi. Here is said sci fi: "Because the alternative is unthinkable." The best pickup lines are responses, not premature ejaculations.

Did you go to university? I'm just calibrating here.

I think his is decapitated head bukkake. Andrea's hot and all, but I bet he had to think of cold, tearing flesh to get it up.

Well, that was easy. And yesterday.
