This will literally never be appropriate but let's pretend for a second it fits the situation.

I fall on the y side in the y/n here. I really like her in An Education, where she's somehow both endearing and frigid at the same time. Gone Girl is a confusing book (from a moral standpoint--v. fast read, couldn't stop), but I think Fincher works well with confusing stories and so does she!
EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY
I've read a lot of Batman comics (she said, wondering what it all meant), and while some writers are weaker than others, I can't think of one I like less than Frank Miller. I think both TKDR and Year One are decent stories, but there's something about their execution I just straight up don't like. Usually there's nuance to Batman's darkness, and I don't see it in his writing at all.
WELP, The Dark Knight Returns (spoilers for a graphic novel by Frank Miller most people will never read, and that's totally acceptable, it only appeals to a VERY NICHE audience of those who like and/or tolerate Batman and Frank Miller, and I don't think that's very many people!) has the two of them dukin' it out at the end, both as older men. (Batman's actually kind of fat in TKDR. It's weird!) Basically, they have a lot of respect for each other, but they're fighting and fighting pretty fiercely.
If that's not frenemies, I don't know what is.
I love that Matt Damon is his hero, too. This is such a sweet little interview that makes him seem a bit more real. Because if there's anything this guy seems, it's unreal.
To paraphrase a tweet I tweeted after seeing the FIfth Estate trailer, there's something vaguely Tommy Wiseau-ean about my dear sweet Benny Cumbey's inflection. (Would still kiss him, even then.) And also, it's always nice to see Remus Lupin getting work.

Yeah, I wanted to comment on the weirdness of using An Education. That's not really the relationship you want to model yours after. Same goes for Leo and Marion's (Tom and Mal? Are those their names? I DON'T REMEMBER HELP). But Reception made me smile.
She had no material to work with in season two, and she's solid in the others and AWESOME in the episode pictured above. Also, that time she ate the giant gummy bear heart in season one and actually choked on it? That was award-worthy on its own.
Flanny (why can't I reply directly to your comment), I used to, and agree that it's still great. But my Sunday night is kind of booked solid at this point.
Yeah, definitely. Now that Project Runway is five hours long and Work of Art got canceled, this is the reality show I seek out. I do occasionally get caught up in a marathon of that SyFy show about makeup artists. And Whodunnit, because, guys, WHODUNNIT.
I know that it would never happen, but I'm with you, in that he really is the best host/judge I can think of, it's wildly entertaining, and its editing is a thing of beauty. I mean that--sure, drag queens can be catty, but the way they play up interactions among contestants is pitch perfect.

Disappointments here, a handful of them:
1. No Hannibal noms! Not even directing!
2. Should've been a best supporting for Michael Cera, not a best lead for Jason Bateman.
3. No Nick Offerman.
4. Hell, NO PARKS.
Things that are cool:
1. Cumberbatch, any way he can.
2. DRACARYS!
Exactly! It's like "Hey, guy (SPOILERS, DUH), here's the Batcave! You can use it now, but also, you are so clearly not cut out for the whole Batman business. Not yet. Hey, did you grow up in the circus? Or on the street? Or some combination thereof?"
Mr. Citizen (Scott. His name is Scott, OK?) has no tattoos and will never get one. I assume if he changed his mind (he won't), he'd get something Battlestar related, and not a portrait of anything or anyone, and I might be able to deal with that. He's very understanding regarding my desire to eventually get a Harry Potter-related tattoo, so I could be understanding there.
I also am quite fond of JGL and really, really liked him as Kind of Robin Kind of Not in The Dark Knight Rises, which I've mentioned here before. I think he'd make a really good Dick Grayson/Tim Drake-style Robin in the Justice League movies, and he could fill a role in the Marvel universe for sure--but you are right! Doctor Strange is a VERY silly character that I try to forget exists. JGL can do funny, and he can do (kind of) sinister, but can he make someone so conceptually ridiculous read as anything but that? It'd be hard for anyone!
If I were (was? I'm a copywriter/proofreader by trade, guys) single and living in a bigger place (highly improbable!), I would have a corgi so fast. I would name it Edwin.
I like your username and avatar!
Potential spoilers, I guess:
January Jones and Alex Cabot (too lazy to Google her real name, apparently) vaguely resemble each other, and the latter's actually a little old to look as young as she'll need to in all the pseudo-flashbacks, but I agree, Jones doesn't really have it in her.
I haven't read her other books and was a bit put off by Gone Girl because I don't typically read books where there are no truly likable/sympathetic protagonists. Do you still recommend the earlier ones?
My day has been good! I actually made dinner for once, and that was after having a satisfyingly productive, relatively mistake-free day at work. Also, one of my cats has been cuddling with the book Eating Animals since I got home, and it's soooo cute and soooo ironic.
