Happy Holidays for everyone

@PilgrimDan:
Is this a new movie? Where did you stream it? Or did you see it in a cinema? Sounds interesting.

Yes, it's a new movie. I saw it at the cinema.


And.... MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY! ;D

Hello all! I saw "Godzilla Minus One" last night and it's superb, maybe even better than the original 1954 movie, which it very much resembles. Let me just say, for those who have not seen it yet.... one, GO SEE IT! two, this Godzilla is *not* the friendly if grumpy monster we see in the 1970s run. This Godzilla is legit terrifying, and unstoppable and three, it has a real emotional core to it and it *does* hit you hard in the feels. It was strange seeing this after the trailer for "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire", which is a far more fantasy styled movie with an essentially heroic Godzilla. It just proves Big G is a monster for all seasons, I guess.

I actually admire Mab. She's a monster yes, but she is unfailingly attentive to her duties and the needs of her vassals. And look at how she supported Harry when he insisted they had a duty to recompense the fallen and their families. Granted, some of that was self interest, but she also correctly points out that they have a moral duty, as well.

Other things:
Freydis shoving a grenade into the Kraken's head wound to blow it up: Hell yeah.
Harry and Lara are now betrothed? Dear God.  :o.
For all the White Council losing their "s" over Harry, look at how Michael reacts to him. With exactly the same trust that he always has.
"You think your mother and I are blind, as well as old?"
Marcone is a Knight of the Blackened Denarius? That's fairly terrifying.
Ordinary Chicago residents fighting back to save their city.
Any scene with Maggie, Harry and Mouse together.
And, of course, Butters. Pick a scene, any scene, with him in and tell me he's not stone cold awesome in it.

I also think Mab is right in her assessment of Disney movies weakening humanity's psychological defenses against Faerie, especially its more malicious inhabitants.

A side note: I swear Jim quoted James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie with the line: "What is the sword compared to hand that wields it." (Jones straight up steals that movie with every scene he's in BTW.) Of course, Doom is neglecting an even more important point: what is the hand the wields the sword compared to the will that drives the hand?

Get ready, PD! It is a ride!
Yay!!! It is so good to have a date  :D :D :D :D :D :D

That's putting it mildly. I seriously think Jim may have outdone himself here.
Rudolph is a stupid trigger happy SOB and I hope he doesn't just get drummed out of the CPD but serves serious jail time.

Oh, and "Christmas Eve" is adorable. The notion of Mab doing something so ordinary as watching a Disney movie is hilarious.

Well, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the book. Do you already have it?

Just got it today. Banging opening. Literally.

As soon as I saw that a Fomor with an oversized eye covered with a patch had arrived, I immediately thought of Balor. And then it turns out she's not a Fomor, but a Titan - who takes out Mab, without breaking a sweat, mind, before blacking out Chicago. I was like:  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

It's good to get back into the series, and has the unresolved sexual tension between Harry and Lara ever been higher?

:D The struggle is real.
Did you read the news about Cinder Spires? Jim has finished book 2! He also began writing the new Dresden one.

That's good news.

And "Peace Talks" is brilliant. Now I have to get "Battle Ground" ASAP.
@Regenbogen - Season 3 is meant to be the best.
