Totally non-spoilery review coming up! 1. Totally awesome. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen. Gal Gadot was amazing. 11/10 would watch again. 2. Surely I was not the only one to walk out of the theater thinking, ‘Was that Remus Lupin?’ And yes, yes it was. David Thewlis (Sir Patrick in Wonder Woman) also […]
I love reading the wikipedia pages of comic book characters, because they present the most wild storylines in such a matter-of-fact way. And so… some Wonder Woman info gleaned from wikipedia, presented entirely without context: 1. Wonder Woman was capable of bench pressing 15,000 pounds. 2.

And I’m glad I did! (Full disclosure: I probably would have rated this fic a T.) Like a Flower Growing […]
I mostly knew that this movie was part 3 of 3 (or more, whatever), but I didn’t figure not seeing part 2 would make much difference. Turns out it sort of did? Though I actually think that not knowing what people were talking about made me enjoy the movie more than I would have otherwise. […]
SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (I have not) OR READ THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE (I have) So…. There were really only two factors on the ‘yes, I should see this movie’ side of things (Selina Kyle and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Blake, a cop), so I read the wikipedia entry […]
(My pre-Yuletide fic rec. I’m attempting to get this, along with a couple other projects, all tidied up before true Yuletide madness hits.) Scions, by winterlive An AU version of DCU comics — Tim is Robin, Kon is Lex’s son and heir. They’re both rising business stars who tangle over a biotech acquisition (which happens […]
