  1. If anyone else has been following, the Mayor of Toronto admitted to smoking crack.
  2. Apparently there was a lot more stuff filmed about Malekith, and Christopher Eccleston has talked about there were more elements to his background, motivations and what he was doing that fleshed him out beyond the two dimensional character. Unfortunately, that got hit by the editors in favour of other stuff when they wanted to cut down the length of the film. So who knows, it might turn up on the dvd in 6 months.... I also heard they added more Loki after test audiences whined about not enough Loki. Good move. It had just the right amount of Loki.
  3. Thor: The Dark World Malekith was done way better on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. That said I liked it better than the first. I was worried reading comments about the humour that it wouldn't fit, but it did. Loki was awesome, Kurse was awesome, hell Frigga was awesome. I really liked Zachary Levi as Fandral, after seeing pictures of him in makeup I was worried, but he nailed the character way better than Prince Charming did. Also, Hogun's moustache makes an appearance after being sadly absent from the first movie. Overall, 8/10, better than the first in some ways, not in others. The ending is awesome, and the mid-credits sequence setting up both Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers 3 was pretty sweet.
  4. Everyone who backed Wasteland 2 gets it for free. Looking forward to giving it a go.
  5. Arrow was good. Don't know why they have black canary as a blonde wearig a blonde wig, especially since the actress that played her in season 1 was a brunette. Professor Ivo introduced. Lots of cool stuff this season.
  6. http://www.theprovince.com/touch/story.html?id=9124456 BC school bans Kindergardeners from touching. Afraid they might hurt someone. Its sad what the world has come to.
  7. The whole backdrop of Arrow was he was fighting greedy billionaires who want to **** all over the poor, so it does have a bit of the leftist bend to it.
  8. Witness accounts are generally considered evidence.
  9. I don't get why a clone raised amongst Remans that rose up to lead Romulan society, would name his flagship after a middle eastern earth weapon.
  10. Season 2 of Arrow is better so far. With The Undertaking happening and Ollie's list being moot, he's starting to take a more traditional Protect the innocent role. Plus all the DC name drops and cameo characters.
  11. Thats a good way to look at it. If it was nearly ready for March of 2013, imagine how sparklingly polished it should be with another year of work.
  12. The main actor is the worst part of Arrow. He has no charisma. Luckily almost every other character in the show makes up for him.
  13. I find a lot of shows are better if you watch from the beginning rather than jumping in randomly. I tried watching a couple eps of Stargate around season 3 or 4 and didn't like it. Caught the first 4 in a marathon and was hooked.
  14. And after I hounded the gf to get it for me for christmas, now its a birthday present instead.
  15. didn't he build that super tranq gun Coulson uses? Don't remember. But how often since that have they needed him to invent something on the fly? They've even had Simmons running the tech stuff at times. She usually handles tech stuff when its something like the centipede bracelet or the ocular implant, stuff that requires a knowledge of biology as well. Either way I doubt anyone will die in the first season. Not Whedon's style. He has to make you love them before killing them.

  17. Fitz is an engineer, Simmons is a biologist. Fitz's role is dealing with the experimental tech and such they encounter, Skye couldn't fill that role. I did think it was funny having that other hacker dude using SHIELD's crazy no-one-else-on-earth-has-this operating system and being able to hack into electronic locks and such within seconds. Sure Skye could - in episodes already aired - Simmons has filled in for Fitz on their technology and Skye's been shown to have more technological savvy than Simmons. Skye is a hacker with no formal education, she can do computers, but I doubt she could design and build prototype weaponry.
  18. I wish Matthew Vaughn was still doing this. Also, reportedly, Ben Kingsley is reprising his role from Iron Man 3 in a Marvel One Shot (short film) that's supposedly has the real Mandarin confront him about his name and image being stolen.
  19. If it's not Japanese would it still be called anime? You could argue anime is a style rather than just a regional term. Most anime has common features. Most are serialised, with a planned arc where the show ends. Most have a very similar art style that is instantly recognizably "anime" Western animation is usually episodic, with no planned ending so it can keep going if popular, snd has a wide variety of art styles.
  20. But the Batman gave us Rastafarian Joker, you can't beat that or the Dracula episode; It's like the "Batman and Robin" of animation. I didn't like Jokers hair until I saw a model sheet with notes showing it was designed to look like a jokers cap. Also, Greg Weisman's involvement with the show made me stick with it. Season 1 was the weakest, but it kept getting better.
  21. The idea a show like Brave and the Bold would be cancelled in favor of crap like Yu-Gi-Oh pisses me off. Kids WB cancelled most of their original programming 5 or 6 years ago in favor of switching the programming to 4kids, which was pretty much all Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and crap like that. Kids WB programming at the time included The Batman, just as it started intoducing other DC heroes and leading towards Batman joining the Justice League.
  22. The first thing I do after watching a michael moore film is look up where he fudged stuff. At the time I watched Capitalism: A Love Story, no one had refuted anything yet.

Joined the Disney Movie Club, Gargoyles Season 2 Part 2 is an exclusive, so I bought it. Anyone watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and catch the Star Wars reference? Red Queen and Jafar were discussing what monster they could subject Alice to and Red Queen suggested the Sarlacc, which would digest her for a thousand years.
  24. I hope Falcon gets his red and white outfit in sequels.
  25. I haven't watched much anime since the early 2000s. Was a fan in the late 90s, went to animation school, and suddenly all I could see were the flaws. One of my teachers said it happened to him too. Got into animation because of anime, learned how it was done, and hated anime. Plus all the horrible dubbed/edited garbage was all over TV at the time too, forcing good shows like The Batman out in favor of stuff like Yu-Gi-Oh, so that added to my resentment. Now pretty much the only anime I'm into is the Studio Ghibli stuff, because since Disney abandoned classical animation they're the only studio that produces high quality classical animation anymore.
