...ways Dave is like the visual author of the movie,” Snyder says. “If you think about the movie as a normal book, Dave becomes in some ways like the imagination of the reader. I think that that is an amazing gift that he gives the movie, because the movie is not only the texture of what Alan wrote, but it’s also the mood that’s set by the drawings of Dave Gibbons.”But writer Alan Moore has divorced himself from this and other adaptations...
...Adams and Blunt are very believable sisters, not just because of their similar statures and wide blue eyes, but also because of the rhythm of their give and take, often hurtful, always knowing.

We got that nearly-assassinated former UC presidential candidate Michael Koenigs was the best of the bunch for entertainment value. We even got that it's not the easiest thing in the world to cheese...
...must be fished out of glass jars. Almond-and-lime skyr, a strained Icelandic cheese, is served on a banana leaf, wrapped like a present with bows and cellophane paper. The elaborate packaging is charming, but ultimately unnecessary: flavor and freshness make a meal at the Seafood Cellar a gift in itself. For details, see www.sjavarkjallarinn.is...
