Yeah, he doesn’t really seem to have found the ear for dialogue to turn pages consisting of plot advancement into something engaging for the reader.

Well, there’s Kingdom Of Heaven, Gladiator, 1492: Conquest Of Paradise, Exodus: Gods and Kings, Robin Hood...

Guys, I’ve noticed that I said sight instead of site. If this were the old site, I would have been verbally destroyed for that mistake. For shame...

Two years later and I still can’t believe he’s gone. The fact that the author who basically singlehandedly shaped my way of thinking as a teenager and, partially, as a grown-up was still alive and active somehow was incredibly comforting. His death left some part of me hollow.

I don’t doubt that Terry Pratchett is pleased about this. And it was the right thing to do.

Hey have you ever heard of 2001 a Space Odyssey?!? It’s really neat!!

I realize the viewership has shifted somewhat post-Kinja, but do we really think AV Clubbers need to be told to see Seven flipping Samurai, of all movies? Is this what we’ve been reduced to?

Pfft, she didn’t have that harrowing of a journey. Trying to get my Disqus account linked to Kinja, now that’s harrowing. Frankly, my ordeal makes what she went through seem like a trip to the cupcake factory.*




*This is possibly a slight overstatement.

I think they’re saying it will take a little bit. I’m sad because one of my last comments before the Kinja-Dammerung got me the most upvotes I had ever gotten and now they’re all gone.

People have really started to tout the Batman warehouse fight from Batman V Superman as ‘the best Batman fight scene ever’ which really bugs be. Because no matter how well choreographed or executed it is, it’s utterly hollow. There’s no emotional connection to the outcome of the fight, or to Batman as a character in…

“Mr. Mills...we have your daughter.”

*Testing testing* Is this thing on?

Speaking of things being taken, I sure do miss using Disqus on here. *Sighs wistfully*

So we can just wish for movies now and they get greenlit?

Well, it doesnt help that everything DC has done stinks. There is that.

But Inquisitors aren’t Vader, are they?

I found it funny how many body parts he was missing by the end of the story, personally. It’s why he turns on the Grail, at the end. He stopped giving a shit about his quest for power and just became a man who lost his dick and was bitter about it. It was pretty perfect.

I could never get over how everyone was bending over backwards to describe the movie as “dark,” “tragic,” and “operatic” (okay, maybe the last one fits) when even then it was pretty fucking silly. Nicholson’s Joker looks and sounds uncannily like Krusty the Klown.

The Mortis trilogy was awesome. It felt so alien and seemed to belong to a different kind of story, but I think it made the saga so much richer. We need more mysteries of cosmic scale.

How about Wayne Pygram, but actually give him something to do this time around?
