Well, since I've built up an immunity to Iocane powder...

THIS is what Wonder Woman is supposed to look like.

Never forget...

The Laundry novels are pretty great. Charles Stross hits the hitherto unknown sweet-spot between H.P. Lovecraft and Mike Judge. The world is cool enough that it's easy to forgive him for using more or less the same plot in every single novel — that's what procedurals are, after all.

One of his novellas in this setting is up for a Hugo this year.

I just discovered Stross with Saturn's Children. I have a feeling I'll be reading a lot more of him.

This is me posting from the future, hoping to change the past.

died defending Stannis' claim to the throne, and calls Stannis "your grace." But then he turns around and tells the captive Tormund that "I have no king."

Agree to disagree then? The main character was very charismatic; unfortunately, he was not Harry Dresden. I know, that sounds snobbish and terrible, but that self-knowledge does not change my opinion.

I posted the same thing. Perfect movie. The movie is man's recreation of the symmetry of all of space-time. it is the best film in the history of all multiverses. ALL!

it's about as close to a perfect movie as you can get...and if you disagree, well...SHUT UP, YOU HAVE HOLES!!

I would not consider any of these to necessarily be in the top ten of books series that should be adapted, but I thought I would throw them out there, because they could be both fun and, in a couple of cases, both low-budget and something that the BBC excels at - The Laundry Files by Charles Stross

No, I'm just a high-ranking SHIELD agent with access to your personal history.

Studio plan:

What I always wondered was: what museum curator in their right mind decides that Gotham City is the ideal place to display, say, a diamond-encrusted penguin statue?

If they made him ripped and huge like the comics, then that trio would look even more cartoony with Mullet Eugene and Tomb Raider Rosita. It says something when a guy with a horseshoe mustache is the realistic looking one in the bunch.
