It's sad that Frank Miller turned out to be a racist crackpot, because now the intention of the author overshadows his work. If it weren't for him, I'd consider 300 to be a great graphic novel. Of course it reads like a deluded propaganda piece, because that's what it's supposed to be. It's actually propaganda spewed…

I love this movie for a lot of reasons. One of the major ones is that it introduced Mads Mikkelsen to a much larger audience.

"Shaken or stirred?"
"Do I look like I give a damn?"

Those are Or'K's you're thinking of.

I do have a connection to the original comic, and loved Jamie Delano's work on it. But I still enjoyed the movie a lot. It was pretty faithful to Constantine's spirit. I took it as sort of an 'American adaptation' of Constantine.

Love that scene, one of my favorites in the entire series.

They were trying too hard to make that movie 'respectable'.

The Old Guard didn't really grab me. As a longtime reader of Rucka, it's too firmly in his comfort zone. Badass heroine with a mysterious past? Check. Ancient conspiracy? Check. Shadowy government agencies pulling black ops? Check. A semi-realistic approach to art that falls just short of bland? Check. Military style…

The battle scene when the Greeks first land on the beach was no slouch either. And the duel that introduces Achilles is still remembered fondly. That movie was boring in parts, because the melodrama was too ham-handed, but the action scenes were pretty much all great.

Collateral is the second best Michael Mann movie, and nearly as good as Heat.

That run on Doom Patrol is hands down one of the best runs in all of comics. There was also a Jack Kirby tribute issue that was immensely well-done.

What about Suicide Squad?
Oh that was last year. Never mind.

Going through some old short stories by the likes of Twain, Philip K. Dick and Tolstoy. Just finished the PKD story 'The Eyes Have It', and absolutely loved it. Such a witty little tale, and it takes maximum advantage of its medium.
Also read 'Stray Toasters' by Bill Sienkiewicz. The story feels a little dated, but the…

I love Vonnegut, but I thought The Sirens of Titan really dragged in the middle. The portions set in Mars seemed to go on forever, and *SPOILER* turning the main POV character into a literal blank slate halfway through the book did not make him more interesting. In fact, I'd argue the opposite. *END SPOILER* However,…

Very well-put. I think one idea playing games over and over again embedded in me is that no matter how confusing or complex a situation appears, there's always a solution.
Basically games made my subconscious think that the world is fair. That may not always be true, but it can be true in a lot of cases if you think…

That last 'That's right' is one of the most perfect line readings in movie history.

Has there ever been another depiction as sincere and nuanced as this of a gay Muslim man? God I love this show.

"She's a Lepre-cunt!"

I think that's always the legacy of great action movies. The Matrix was great, but it inspired the annoying trend of meaningless bullet-time action in movies like the Resident Evil series. Die Hard was great, and it inspired a bunch of shitty (And a few awesome) 'Die-hard-on-a-blank' movies.

I've seen both, and I think the different settings make them considerably different movies. They're about exploring a city's underbelly, its seedy atmosphere as much as they are about the plot.
