Confession.

I am a fan of the Batman mythology, the extended story, and of writers and directors and actors who DO their homework.  

As a result. I have found new nerd love in the Fox series Gotham.

1) I am convinced that Castle is now insane with jealousy of Jim Gordon, regardless of whether Inara turns out to be Mrs Gordon or Harley.

2) Whether or not he is up to the awesomeness that is the Joker, Cameron Monaghan and/or his director or writer earns my regard for the filming of this scene, or well, the entire scene...of Gordan's interrogation of Jerome.

In two screen shots, watch them, Monogham subtly channels first Jack Nicolson's Joker, THEN in the next  camera shot Heath Ledger's lip smacking Joker.

Well done sirs, Well done.

Slow clap.

Cast: Keith as Rayburn the Thief and Emyrs the Elf Kathy as Kiya the Albino Halfling, Kitilia the Albino Dwarf, Kilcia the Albino Cleric of Mardua John as Badger the Child/Cat Wizard and Amar the Desert Marauder The session started with the group at Habbib's Tavern, still licking their wounds from the foray to the tomb of the Dev'shirs. After some healing, the group decided to return to Oskars Pawn Shop to get the information of who sold the necklace to him. Again, the group was too cheap to pay Oskar's price...butKilcia used her ring of Commune with Spirits to summon a former owner of the establishment...Oskar's father. The chance to speak with his long dead da made it worth Oskar's effort to tell that the guy that sold the necklace was Latimer, a hulking brute who clearly had a good bit of orc blood in him. He could be found after dark at the Hungry Froggollith tavern.  The party went back to Habbib's to plan, and were attacked by six thugs.After a ...

Memorial Day Honor; The 1% of the 1% of the 1%

-
A hundred years ago, when I was incarcerated in the Benning Penitentiary for Recidivists, a fellow Recidivist stated that "in every attack someone is making a frontal attack." I would love to believe that this wisdom came from the be-spotted lips of James "Shitmouth" Murphy...but honestly, that may be wishful thinking. At this stage, I can't really be sure. As is, instead of the expansive, "love everyone" bullshit of the day; I would like to honor the 1% of soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines of the 1% that have actually served of the US population, that have had to be that someone making a frontal attack. God bless you. Your country hasn't a clue what you have done for them.
