Nah, you're thinking of Animal Man. Had a famous run in the eighties, and another good series in the New 52.

I'm keeping up with it due to car-crash fascination. Given that the second tentpole of the MCU was the decidedly safe if just-average Incredible Hulk, that DC is throwing its whole lot in with whatever the heck that thing is and Batman vs Superman is demonstrably insane in a way that I don't think any movie studio has…

You can't fit the mythology of a character as nuanced as Doomsday into one movie

The Greek Gods had all the foibles and indiscretions of men. These aren't Greek gods. They're not even really gods, in the sense that they aren't metaphors or cosmic in scope or any of the things I'd associate with godliness. They're just poorly written characters, with too much emphasis placed on what they can do and…

You mean Ishtar.

So they'll cast Tilda Swinton as the Asian master sorcerer, but the servant to the arrogant white guy can keep his original race? It's like Marvel is trying to piss us off at this point.

Everybody dance now! Duh duh duh duh-duh

Ice Cold Guinness taps are a whole thing here. Real ale is served at room temperature, but no one's a Guinness connoisseur…I don't think

Finished dissertation. Confirmed the thing I have to do next that's a lot like another dissertation. Got a place confirmed on a trip to Wales with work which is a big step up for me. Had a quote I gave circulated pretty widely in the press about student grants. Went for drinks with good friends. Visiting friends in…

Jose, there's four places. There's Bidet Hut, that's on third. There's Bidets-R-Us, that's on third too. There's Rinse-Your-Butt There, that's on third. Bidet Bath and Beyond. Matter of fact, they're all on third. It's the bidet complex.

"British males are like drones in a hive, scurrying around to please all the women"— Chance would be a fine thing, Get Serious.

My cooking-as-procrastination hit record levels with my dissertation due in last week, so:

Seconding the song rec. In fact, Loyle Carner's whole debut EP is absolutely excellent, and probably some of the best British rap I've heard

"It's all groovy, daddy-oh," comments a grease-haired Biden, before roaring away on his Harley.

Perhaps my favourite headline of recent months was from Breitbart when the executive order on gun control was signed. Trying to imply he was both weak AND coming for your guns:
"Crybully. Obama Cries During Gun Control Speech"

Good thing Harry only had three kids, or he'd have run out of dead friends to symbolically name them after. Rubeus Neville Potter would have had a rough time of it.

You…you mean Bowie and Rickman, right? You've not become a serial killer/werewolf?
