Huh, cooooooool. American Gods getting a TV adaption is yay, though I would prefer Gaiman to go back to writing novels.

Yes it is. There's a branch of it (although not the one in the article) about a half mile from where your hotels are.

I have a feeling Green Lantern is best seen with a dozen snarky friends, so perfect all around

While I theoretically approve of the idea that a guy can create any weapon he can imagine and when he's dumb he makes a sword, and when he's smart he makes a 20,000 round a minute minigun, Green Lantern can't be made in to a good movie any more than Superman. Dude's just too powerful. Other than fighting an evil version of himself, who do you have him throw down with?

Clearly the answer is a non-corporeal planet-devouring entity because those always make the most captivating villains.

The good news is that they're clearly setting up for that, what with Sinestro being in this. The bad news is that this requires waiting for a whole 'nother movie.

A guy who can make any weapon but instead attacks with huge green fists

VS

A guy with a giant head, making him MORE vulnerable to punches than a normal person.

Target's anti-union propaganda.

This is shockingly similar to what I watched when I got hired at Wal-mart. Okay, there was a little more Sam Walton cult worship, but other than that.

superaielman · « **Reply #337 on:** June 15, 2011, 03:57:26 AM »

That is such a hilariously hamhanded video. Unions would be a disaster for companies like Wal-mart and Target, but that video is special.

Yeah, looks like it's the first expansion (which is a bit disheartening, I was hoping they'd continue the tradition of giving us one of the boss decks from the previous set, Nicol or Karn). Wreath of Geists looks the prettiest to me, if only because I'm going to pretend that the guy is Rudolph Van Richten.

1) I have read and enjoyed George R. R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire.

2) I hate and despise my fellow man.

3) It logically follows that this made me smile.

That is fascinating, but I'm not sure exactly what to think about it.
