Isn't everything with Dempsey in it just kind of blech? IMHO he is so-o-o overrated.

Revival and Just After Sunset are the two books in which Machen is quoted/creditedI usually buy an Amazon gift card of my budget, then I keep track of the balance as I shop. If I can't get it on the gift card balance, then I can't have it. Plastic is very dangerous in my hands so I have to watch it.
You will love The Great God Pan. I read him because if SK thinks he's worth a nod, then I want to know why. Full Dark, No Stars, I think is where he mentioned this author and his work. It might have been Just After Sunset. I read those two pretty close together so one or the other. Enjoy!!
Another one is Ben Affleck. Sooooooo overrated .
Yes, I agree. I predict the new Batman vs. Superman movie is going to flop.
What? I couldn't hear you two over this:
If that's an overrated flop, I'll take two.
Um yeah. I don't give a damn about his acting. If he takes his shirt off, I'm in! Double points for a shower scene. Dudes don't shower enough in action movies. They're sweating, and bleeding, stands to reason they would need a shower at some point. In slow motion. 
If he doesn't talk in it then the movie might be alright.....What? I couldn't hear you two over this:

I like the way you think.Um yeah. I don't give a damn about his acting. If he takes his shirt off, I'm in! Double points for a shower scene. Dudes don't shower enough in action movies. They're sweating, and bleeding, stands to reason they would need a shower at some point. In slow motion.
You know, I've never read Sayers. I've been meaning to ever since I read Apt Pupil, many years ago. I think I need to look up her Wimsey novels, at the very least.
Agreed. Affleck can do a workman-like job, but Henry Cavil is simply awful. Pretty (if you like the type), but he cannot act. This looks like a MAJOR stinker.
She is probably one of the more literary crime novelists. I like her also for the literary allusions that crop up in the typical speechpattern of Wimsey. Her wimseys are uneven. Always very well written but she is not as good a plotter as Christie was. But Gaudy Night, Murder Must Advertise, The Nine Tailors, Busmans Honeymoon and A Cloud Of Witnesses can be recommended warmly. The first three i consider her masterpieces. A not wimseynovel to be recommended is The Documents in the Case. She is one of the few writers that stayed bored with her creation and did not return to him. she wrote religious plays instead and translated Dante to English.
I saw gone girl. Horrible acting.If he doesn't talk in it then the movie might be alright.....

Double points for a shower scene
If I want to see a good shower scene I'll just pop in Pulp Fiction (Bruce Willis) or Wild Things (Kevin Bacon). It's enough......
Yeah! Is that Kevin Bacon's real weinie?If I want to see a good shower scene I'll just pop in Pulp Fiction (Bruce Willis) or Wild Things (Kevin Bacon). It's enough......
It is getting hot up in this piece, and I am A-okay with that.
Yes!
And some good 'bacon' it is......
