    Ewww...

    Absinthe is just... Like....


    I like drinks that involve basically waving a closed bottle if absinthe over the glass and the very thoroughly cleaning it before pouring a cocktail into it.

    But that's about all I can take

    God damned post got eaten.

    @shryke: Fair point. My criticisms are entirely subjective and don't really translate to anything else. I'll say that, on the whole, each film (and the entire trilogy taken as a whole too) just doesn't work for me at all. But if you pull pieces and scenes and bits of dialogue and specific plot points OUT of their context, well some of them are not only competent but brilliant. For some reason, the movies as whole entities just don't work for me. It's hard to explain, but when I'm watching one of the films I am so bored I get this feeling that I'd just rather be doing or watching anything else.

    @redx: I appreciated Heath Ledger's portrayal. It was good, and he was a great actor. But let me put it this way: I'd prefer to watch Heath in just about any other film he's made. Like, I enjoyed him more in 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight's Tale. In fact, I think those moves are better, in sum total, than any of the three Batman Films. I also thought Dark Knight Returns was a total mess - probably the worst of the trilogy, even if Dark Knight Rises was three hours of complete rambling boredom, I just felt like DKR was a disaster from beginning to end.

    What.

    How did it hold the record of oldest hotel until 2011? This seems impossible by definition. Either it continues to hold then record, or it never held the record.

    It was believed to be the oldest hotel until evidence was discovered that supported a rival's claim to the record

    In 2011 it stopped being a hotel, and the owners started 'room sharing' for tax purposes.

    This is one of the most hilariously awesome things that has ever happened to me:

    Patreon sent out an e-mail congratulating the top 100 Creators of 2014, but they didn't BCC it so everyone who got it could reply all. Well, people just started replying to the e-mail chain and joking around and now myself and 99 other "important internet people" are just using it to shoot the shit. Like, literally, Tim Buckley (cad), Erika Moen (oh joy sex toy), Zach Weinersmith (smbc), Zoe Quinn, Nika Harper, a ton of other cool people and myself are spamming eachother's in-boxes and trying to see if we can get Patreon to send us cookies.

    Best. E-mail. Ever.
