This is my weekly reaction thread! I will discuss in plaintext, even major character deaths and such because otherwise it will be too hard for me to know when I can read the rot13, so don't come in here unless you've read at least as far as I have!
Current Progress: Page 250.

I'd heard about the series for years before I actually read it, and got recommendations from various friends online, and I'd always meant to check it out. I grew increasingly curious about it and Gaiman, particularly after reading a couple of his novels, so when I found myself in a comic store one day, I picked up Preludes and Nocturnes. And the rest is history. :D Spent the next several months or so picking up the other volumes when I could.

In one place we went to, there is a wall and you press a button and pizza comes out of that wall in three minutes in the middle of a street
France what are you doing
(excuse my face, I decided to get a picture with the wall)

"The Inner Light" - Avatar gaining knowledge and wisdom from his/her past lives. Except perhaps for Avatar Kuruk, his song is:
"I'm Only Sleeping" - ("Everybody seems to think I'm lazy / I don't mind, I think they're crazy" and "Please don't wake me / no, don't shake me / leave me where I am / I'm only sleeping surfing" :p )
"Revolution 1" - Korra versus Amon (you tell him, girl!)
"She's Leaving Home" - Toph's story (except for the line about the parents "struggling hard all their lives to get by")
"Help!" - Korra in "When Extremes Meet" (she needs her friends!)
"I'm So Tired" - the Gaang in "The Chase", especially Sokka (freaking out at the thought of having stayed up all night)
"Helter Skelter" - Aang vs. Ozai finale duel
"If I Fell" - Makorra at the end of "Out of the Past"
"All You Need Is Love" - official anthem of the Harmony Restoration Movement. :p Hey, Zuko did say they needed to start a new era of peace and love! :p
"Free as a Bird" - anthem of the Air Nomads <3
"Nowhere Man" - Chong's song
"Carry That Weight" - Zuko after becoming the Firelord
"Something" - Aang's feelings for Katara
"For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" - Bolin and Pabu start a circus! B-)
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - something out of Ikki's fantasy (seriously, "stars as spoons" and "moonlight punch" is up there with "tangerine trees" and "marmalade skies"... x-D )
"Golden Slumbers" - Ursa's last lullaby to Zuko and Azula.
"For No One" - this seems to fit Mai from The Promise Part 2...
"You're Gonna Lose That Girl" - Zuko's counterpart to the above one.
"Yesterday" - Sokka, after Yue's death...
"The Night Before" - Aang after the Invasion ("We kissed at the Invasion and I thought we'd be together...")
"Drive My Car" - Asami fuck yeah! B-)
"In My Life" - Aang at the end of his life (or pretty much any Avatar...)
"Think For Yourself" - Iroh to Zuko in Book 2 :p
"She Said She Said" - Zuko and Mai, utter emofest. :p
"Tomorrow Never Knows" - Aang's training with Guru Pathik.
"Here Comes the Sun" - Anthem of the Sun Warriors (duh :p )
"Come Together" - Tarrlok B-) ("One and one and one is three (ponytails)" :p )
"Across the Universe" - song for the Avatar State. <3
"I Me Mine" - Azula (because everything has to be about her...)
"Let It Be" - Aang to Katara in "The Southern Raiders"
"Rain" - Waterbenders' song. :D
"Don't Let Me Down" - Zuko getting back together with Mai before his coronation
"We Can Work It Out" - the Fire Ferrets in "The Spirit of Competition"
And Sokka on cactus juice gets a whole collection of psychedelic songs: "I Am the Walrus", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (I know, it fits Ikki, too), "Blue Jay Way", and of course, "Revolution 9". :p

Before I answer, I want to remind everyone that some people here are reading along with Mark for the first time, so if your answers to any of these questions are spoilery, please rot13 them as a courtesy. Thank you! Additionally, I want to encourage any first time readers who find themselves unable to answer a question, or who have an answer change later, to come back and answer or reanswer at any time. BASICALLY I WANT TO HEAR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. And will be excited to read them no matter when you post them!

Moral of the story - do not watch a trailer for Bourne Legacy following an all evening binge of FMA:Brotherhood, right before going to sleep.

So, I know there is a tiny overlap of Mark's people and people who follow a lovely lady called Cleolinda over on livejournal. I just wanted to point out this bit of awesomeness: a new Movies in Fifteen Minutes! Prometheus: http://m15m.livejournal.com/23209.html
Obviously, if you are planning to see the movie, DO NOT CLICK, because massive spoilers abound. It is a hilarious read, though, particularly if you've seen the movie and can appreciate the sheer brilliance of a moment like this (rot13 for Prometheus spoilers):
