I was somewhere around 15-ish, when Mike, Dubs, James, Ian and I were all posting on the Oratory. I'm thirty. Married. Two kids.

"Well, I guess I have to hunt down some garbage Crow knock off with Satan and Jeffery Combs," said the fat Jonah Ray doppelgänger with tattoos of Hellboy and The Question.

It's on Hulu now, for those still interested. The second episode is much better than the first. It's still very different than the comic, but it's a bit of fun.

I know, right?!?

Resounding meh. I like Brolin just fine. But he's already played Thanos and Jonah Hex. And there were a lot more interesting names in the mix before this. I've zero doubt he'll be fine. He's just kinda uninspired.

Is Thor carrying Hercules' mace into the arena?

Also, this looks like a blast. Glad that Thor has gone more Kirby/Simonson Rock and Roll Space Opera than Shakespeare in the park feat. Natalie Portman.

If you notice. Loki is up in the stands next to Golblum. I would watch Tom Hiddleston and Jeff Goldblum recite the phonebook at each other.

Been there One of the dishwashers at work goes to my old high school, she'll always ask about how things were back in my day, whatever. "Did you have Mrs. So and So for English?" "Yeah, my freshman year. She was pregnant with her twins." "...They're Juniors, now, Preston." Then I go in the walk-in and weep.

Kubo and The Two Strings: Damn. This has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and deserves all of it. It's beautifully animated, sweet and isn't afraid to hit you where it hurts. Great film that doesn't underestimate the kids it's made for.

The deterioration of his mental health as a side effect, I'd have to imagine. I'm pretty sure they slowly drive you crazy.

He's older than Russell Crowe, who's resigned himself to playing the professor in the same film.

Um. Fuck yes.

I am still hoping for David Harbour.

The Wolverine isn't bad. It's really fun until the stupid ass final fight.

Predator is perfect. You name another movie with two future US governors fighting a space alien. I defy you.

I guess the best way to look at it is to know I'll never let Ben or the soon to debut Quinn Alice (three weeks) feel like this. If nothing else, I get that.

For the fourth year in a row, my parents forgot my birthday. They go to Arizona this time, every year. And every year they forget. The last few years, Michelle has seen me getting upset and reminded them. This year, I told her not to, and got a group text from my dad about how great their lunch was and nothing else. I know so much better than to let it bother me, but every time it crushes me. I had a great 30th birthday yesterday (thanks to many, many forumites for the well wishes, by the way), but I still went to bed with a bad taste in my mouth because I was forgotten, again. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I don't want gifts, I just want them to remember me.

Happy birthday, brother!

Fear and Loathing.

LEGO Batman is the best movie DC has made since Richard Donner was directing Superman. And I will fight the man that dares disagree. Jaded thirty year old comic fan and his three year old both rolling with laughter.

Yeah, but Fight Club reads like a Meninist Seminar. And yes, I know that's actually against the point the movie is trying to make. Tyler Durden is a sociopath. Anarchy is a flawed ideal. It's kinda fun to watch Edward Norton beat the piss out of Jared Leto. And I know it's not fair to blame the film for a generation of Bros missing the point of it, but I just don't think it holds up all that well, despite being a well made film. Thats, admittedly my bias from a generation of frat boys with posters of soap on their wall, smoking too much weed and talking about how the system needs to come down, man.

While it's well made, I really think it's aged poorly. ...A bunch of affluent white men complain about how hard they have it? Yeah, okay, fuck off.

Yeah. I'll just watch The Room again with a few beers. This has too many people who know how to make a movie involved, rather than it being a glorious accident. Wiseau's sitcom was garbage too. He gifted us with The Room. That was a perfect storm of once in a lifetime insanity. We need to let Tommy Wiseau go. Let him go back to his home planet.
