I hope not. Ward was much less interesting as a good guy, I hope he grows into Big Bad territory rather than flip flopping back.

Urgh, nothing is worse than entitled geeks. When will they ever learn that if your thought process is "what the hell is wrong with these stupid bitches I'm interested in that only go for the jerks instead of a smart, nice guy like me" then you are neither smart nor nice. Not to say the rebuttal was any better. That was grasping for straws for counter-arguments and hitting none. Written by a person who is obviously not good at thinking things through. Still better than that entitled, worthless geek.

i c wut u did thar

Pretty sure it's Lucian.

First one from Bruce, second one from Sam.

The fact that you have a ranked list of the worst days of your life and a ranked list of the worst days per year concerns me much more than whatever happened to ruin your mood.

How do you meet people?

Honey also tastes better.

Say please.

Then why would it be coming from China?

I went to a kind of rennesaince fair/fantasy cosplay type event yesterday and I witnessed a very heated discussion about wyverns and dragons and their number of limbs. Is this the kind of thing geeks argue about these days? Because I'll hand in my geek card then. A dragon and a wyvern are whatever the hell you want them to be because they don't exist. Show me a scientific, peer reviewed paper that without a doubt proves that Smaug is a wyvern and then we'll talk.

Just read that a theme park in my country is getting a B&M Dive Coaster next year. Happy.

I agree - he was boring as the straight man, to learn that it was all an act throws a lot into perspective. Not sure if it all makes sense, though, but it sure raises the stakes. Also, nobody here mentioned the last Game of Thrones? I think George R. R. Martin enjoys killing characters at weddings, but this time it was infinitely satisfying.

Really? Because I was yelling at Coulson for being stupid enough to let him accompany Bill Paxton. When did Ward get cleared for killing the fake Clairvoyant? They never cleared him of killing that guy under orders, it was the only thread still loose and it was obvious that Ward wasn't telling the truth.

Quite a lot of references to Naked Lunch. Vintage Cronenberg/David Lynch in places. Making it partly comedy was a clever move. I liked it. Not meant to be fully 'understood' I think. Didn't like the ending much, but how do you wrap up something like that anyway. You'll enjoy the book - the weirdest, mindscrewiest parts aren't in the film. In fact, the movie ends with a weird plot twist, yet that is only the least weird of the large amount of plot twists the book ends with.

Really enjoyed the latest Agents of SHIELD. I think it's finally found it's footing by realizing it's supposed to be a spy-show, not a high tech police procedural. Hope they stick with it.

The thing about John Dies at the End is that the movie takes roughly the first quarter of the book, does a fairly loyal adaptation of it too, and then it skips straight to the end by using a bunch of shortcuts that make no sense. Not saying the book gives clear cut answers on everything, it's still extremely weird and I think some of it's strength lies in keeping it unexplained, but a lot more of the puzzle pieces fall into place and begin to make sense. I do recommend reading the book, its a bit too meta and clever for its own good but its the only book that had me laughing out loud and experiencing lovecraftian existential dread in the space of a single page.

True, but then these stories haven't ever really gone out of style. In fact they've been making a resurgence recently and it's just getting tiring. Add on top of that the rather hefty pile of political nonsense that they're tossing at you about domestic spying, internet foot prints and that this character from WW2 (supposedly the "greatest generation") basically saying that what they're doing is un-american, and it feels a bit to much like they're looking at the audience going "EH!? YOU GET IT RIGHT!? EH EH EH!?" But they also point out that the "greatest generation" did some nasty ****. I didn't see the flick as picking sides in this discussion at all, rather raising questions.

Also a great choice. All I hope is that they don't follow internet rumors and go with Benedict Cumberbatch. That would be awful. I dig the guy's work but I just don't think that's a good fit - I don't know why everyone else thinks it is.

I see - I may have jumped the gun there a bit, sorry. I've seen a bit too many people bashing it for political reasons and it irks me. I apologize.

You can call it whatever you wish, really, but I'd say it's a pretty large leap from "a secret evil illuminati like Nazi force corrupting an intelligence agency into creating huge machines that will kill millions of dissidents" to the NSA, but it's a comic film and current events inform it but do not equate to it and saying otherwise is ridiculous. Somehow I can't imagine you being quite as critical when The Dark Knight made Batman into a one-man Patriot Act even though that movie was a soapbox lecture and this had parallels to the NSA, Snowden and Drone combat as a way to give us facets to identify with for entertainment's sake, not as a means to change our minds about anything. But if that's how you wish to see it, that's up to you. Some people will find any reason to hate something. Boohoo, left wing Hollywood. Personally, I'm more interested in the name-drop of Dr. Strange and wondering if they'll cast Liam Neeson or Nathan Fillion.

Hahahaha, oh you guys, it's like there's a laugh track on your posts together.

The lump in my mom's breast that our GP thought was cancer turned out to be randomly clumped up breast tissue.

I seem to be getting the odd pressure headaches and nausea that I normally get from car sickness, except just throughout the day now. Getting a bit concerned.
