Ben Affleck reportedly directing solo ‘Batman’ movie set for Fall 2018
I like Ben Affleck as a director. Fuck, I like him more as a director than an actor. So I’m glad to see WB is doing the obvious, and giving him the reins to the next solo Bat-Flick.

Monday Morning Commute: The Person We Wish We Could Be
This is my third week of marriage. It feels very much the similar to the life I was living prior to marriage – namely a maelstrom of responsibilities and too few nights spent actually enjoying the company of my Wife. We spent the weekend house shopping, and now she’s away on business. When…when does life calm down? And in the midst of all that bullshit — we are submitting an offer sheet on a house tomorrow. So there’s that. Either we get a house tomorrow, or we have to hit the house hunting grind again this weekend. Which, admittedly, is a privilege. I get that. But it’s stressful as fuck, and at a certain point having more space for shit you probably doesn’t need must feel irrelevant in the Frowning Face of Not Enjoying Time with a loved one. Right?
