300 was published by Dark Horse, dude, and Snyder's made as many non-DC movies as he's made DC films. Saying a 10-year-old action movie with a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes is bad isn't exactly evidence of an editorial conspiracy against your best friend Batman.

Ancient Persia was predominantly Zoroastrian.

Thanks for bringing in a perspective like this!

Oh man, am extremely dark Snyder picture with Whedon banter that had reshoots to graft a lighter tone onto it.

That was a great character dynamic, not hurt at all by the fact that David Hyde Pierce might have been the best actor on that show.

Not in the regions in which Kroger and its subsidiaries have dominance, apparently.

Founded by German brothers feuding over which one had the better approach to generic grocery stores, no less.

Hell yeah, Frasier owned and Martin was a great character. Working-class and down-to-earth while still being clever and probably smarter and more capable than his kids.

Seems to me that you're the expert.

Obviously, seconding the Neil Breen love. Fateful Findings is his masterpiece, but Double Down's a great introduction. I am Here…. Now really drags in the opening and closing, but has some amazing parts. And Pass-Thru is probably his weakest, but has the most legitimately unsettling and weird shit in it.

Thanks! I generally try to get things.

But Buzz hasn't posted here in weeks!

Quick, name one goddamn aspect of Marxist theory.

The squid thing is being foreshadowed from at least the first or second book, though; certainly as early as the Black Freighter Comics show up. Moore's not an improviser.

Nah, there's a lot of depth of character and themes that didn't translate into the film, and he didn't really seem to get a lot of the more intricate story construction and the way that Gibbons' art conveys the passage of time.

I was talking about it with a friend recently, and we settled on the descriptor that Death Proof is a recreation of old grindhouse films, while Planet Terror is an adaptation of their posters.

Those are all very good, but the title says that it's a story only games could tell, which is 100% true, since those films are third-person narratives in which we do not directly experience the mental illness of a character we control and use as our avatar.

Hi! I know this post is three days old, but I wanted to give some feedback. I'm, I think, about halfway through the game, and it doesn't feel like pastiche or exploitation to me. While I struggle with depression and anxiety, I've never had a psychotic episode, so I can't speak firsthand on that, but I will say that…

The movie's color-corrected to hell and back, so in this case, it's likely referring to the fact that Snyder literally exaggerated the actors' skin color to make them darker than they were.

Do you really think there aren't politics to a 2007 movie where characters say that freedom isn't free and defend an imagined Western democracy from a horde of middle eastern savages?
