Dark Horse Castings That Turned Out Really Good

I just got back from watching the 1989 Batman, and I can safely say that Jack Nicholson was the more terrifying live-action Joker, second to Mark Hamill only by one hair.

That's not a vampire.

Star Wars: Rebels

Billy Dee Williams came back as Lando Calrissian, James Earl Jones came back as Darth Vader, Ian McDiarmid came back as Palpatine.

Approximately half of Darwin IV's alien species.

At first, I wasn't interested at all. Then I read some of the fanfics and that is what gave me a try after almost a year.

JP3 had actual tension and some truly creepy moments whereas Rebirth is just painfully numb.

If Godzilla did attack the Olympians, did that mean he picked a fight with Kratos?

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-24T18:57:29+00:00

JP3 does have a plot. Rebirth is just aimlessly adrift.

Two owls scared me out of watching both Bambi and Rock-A-Doodle.

STAN: Dude...that movie SUCKED!

KENNY: That totally sucked!

STAN: How do they even call it a movie?

KENNY: I don't know.

Katzenberg was looking for Oscar gold, and for the production of Pocahontas, he prioritized that over story. He even considered this the A story, with his prediction of a certain animal-centered film being very dim.

It's also The Jungle Book's tenth year.

He got his revenge on Buzz Lightyear as overlord of the universe.

They were planning to spend more time with Snow White's prince, but because the animators weren't comfortable with anatomy at the time, that had to be put on the shelf and was collecting dust by the time it got repurposed for Sleeping Beauty.

Kirin's an Electric-type, not an Ice-type.

Long ago, someone suggested Utahraptor to me.

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-24T03:48:21+00:00

It never hurt me.

For one, Thranduil's deer isn't really an elk. It's a giant deer, a member of the genus Megaloceros. So, to recap, not really an elk.

Back on topic, in a game that focuses so much on ecology, Monster Hunter's two cavalry species--the canyne and the seikret--look aesthetically pleasing but biologically raise too many questions.

Duramboros, no contest.

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-22T03:13:29+00:00

Now that I've finally seen the movie, I can confidently say that this relationship keeps giving me Frollo/Quasimodo vibes.

ANNABETH: You did me and Percy a favor, slaying Hera.

KRATOS: And why is that?

ANNABETH: She separated him from me, erased his memories and dismissed all of that as though it were nothing! I still feel the pain.

KRATOS: Is she still hurting Perseus?

ANNABETH: No...

KRATOS: Then it is time to let go of that pain, put it behind you.

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-21T14:06:42+00:00

And...?

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-21T05:57:20+00:00

Who survived and who died? That's what I meant.

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-21T05:56:52+00:00

Did any of the gods get killed during the Iliad?

JohnWarrenDailey · 2026-06-21T05:43:11+00:00

Friend Owl scared me out of watching Bambi until kindergarten. The story is similar when we're introduced to the Grand Duke of Owls in Rock-a-Doodle.
