  1. Monday nights. Great night. (thumbs u What night is it now? It's not an important thing in New Hampshire.
  2. Hey! I loved X2 and Days of Future Past Superman Returns
  3. It's better atrwork than some $4 comics, but TV Guide? I didn't know they still made those? I never see them around anywhere. Great marketing. She needed a more touching storyline with a girl little kid like Captain Marvel #17.
  4. What insufficiently_thoughtful_persons. Take a scene out of The Dark Knight. One ferry full "innocents" and the other full of scumbags. One has to blow the other one up to live. During the choice, we get to know them. So, when they decide to not to go through with the Joker's plan making the Joker go for the detonator. It's a punch to our stomach as we begin to care for both parties. It's more intimate. ...or even the subway car in Spider-Man 2. Some rubble and buildings fall on some CG extras in The Avengers or Man of Steel, it isn't quite the same thing, during some loud CG'd 2nd unit fist fight. We aren't emotionally attached to any performance to anybody who dies or almost does other than the waitress in The Avengers who only reacts to the destruction. Sorry, lady we never got to meet you. Man of Steel, same thing.
  5. -Emma Roberts was actually a neat choice for Nancy, but her regular chums (George Fayne and Bess Marvin) should have been written in better.

  7. The Thor segment pretty solid as well. So, I give Hulk Vs. a thumbs up. (thumbs u Marvel Animated Movie Checklist: Big Hero 6**** Hulk Vs.*** Thor: Tales of Asgard** The Invincible Iron Man* Ultimate Avengers* Iron Man: Extremis" Avengers Confidential: Punisher & Black Widow1/2 While I'm mainly DCAU, of all the Marvel I've seen I really enjoyed Planet Hulk quite a bit. Mainly as a Heavy Metal-type space tale. Even though it's Hulk he's still an earthman stranded on an alien world. Good stuff. Yeah, I have The Next Avengers to watch next. But, I've been really curious about Planet Hulk and Doctor Strange. I've watched other cruddy Marvel movies too, like The Inhumans, Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth, etc. It's just been too long of a line of poorly produced garbage.

  9. You have to admit the Associate Press, Variety and Box-Office Mojo have already written the headline "Trank Tanks" for it's opening weekend and critics have their "Not So Fantastic Four" tile ready for their reviews as well.
  10. Well, up until a point Thor: Tales of Asgard was the best Marvel animated movie and that was kind of a ho-hum production at that. But now, after watching Hulk Vs. Wolverine that can change now. I thought it was a solid little movie ( 37 minutes does not make it a film). Loved the action, the Deadpool jokes and the X-23 cameo. I'll wait before I give it a more of a positive and watch the other half ...Vs. Thor and just consider it called Hulk Vs. in the end. But really, FINALLY a good Marvel animated movie!
  11. Untrue. Katie Cassidy (from Arrow) starred in The Scribbler. (thumbs u ...and slightly technical, Kate Beckinsale starred in the "graphic novel" movie Whiteout and Kiele Sanchez (who?) was the lead in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days. Kiele Sanchez, a trailblazer for the women's movement in funnybook movies.
  12. Definitely gonna try Hulk Vs Wolverine a little later. Just finished Family Guy: Blue Harvest.
  13. Last week. I really liked it. I had a feeling who the real villain was in the movie, and I surprised myself in being right.
  14. Monica Bellucci would have been really cool. Or Gemma Arterton from 'Prince of Persia'. I'm fine with Gadot. It's all about having powers too, not only muscle. I would have been OK with Bellucci ten years ago and I love Arterton, but I feel her resume lacks the kick butt roles (Don't say Persia , I'm thinking more like Alice Creed) to immediately buy her as a Sarah Connor-type warrior, like Melissa George "A Lonely Place To Die" or any Eliza Dushku role.
  15. For the most part, it does. But when it allows itself to stray away from its success mold (The Incredible Hulk -script being redone by the actor; Captain America: The First Avenger having all that super-advanced Hydra technology that would have won the war), it doesn't keep audiences as excited. And the box office results proved that out. (thumbs u Terrible plot point for future films. Loved how he got back to Earth in The Avengers and totally dodged Jane (this is where someone on here is gonna remind me about Coulson telling Thor she is alright). Portman must have been locked in some kind of contract to appear. I mean she could have showed up to help him "lift his hammer" again before the climax. It really blunted their romantic arc going into the second Thor movie too. I agree with you, I was rooting for them to get back together as the ending in Thor 1 was a surprisingly welcome downer, but full of "human" hope (lacking in most Marvel movies) through their desire for one another.
  16. They were pretty ludicrous films. Like there are guys with shotguns and chainsaws for hands in the middle of the woods. If so, they must be nutcases.
  17. Well, if no one is gonna say it... RIP James Horner His score in Wrath of Khan only added suspense & urgency into the newly constructed "military" look to the crew. Taking over for Jerry Goldsmith was a tough act to follow. Although, I thought The Motion Picture was too slow when I grew up, I have grown to appreciate it more over the years. To me, it followed the original series spirit better than any movie before the reboots. I rank the "villain" #2 of all-time Trek baddies after Khan. But, it really didn't have too much competition from a bunch of whalers, Jim from Taxi and Tom Hardy.
  18. +1 (thumbs u Supergirl #19 from 2007. She rocked one pretty good with Ale Garza's linework. (thumbs u That was a great issue! I swear it's what her costume needed in Superman/Batman #77 to offset some serious brooding her team-up buddy Damian was throwing at her. I was surprised Garza didn't add it. I mean she had small smashed pumpkin on her head on the cover.
  19. I also love the sound reference to Duel, where the shark is sinking in the ocean screaming like the truck did when it goes over the cliff at the end of the Dennis Weaver opus.
  20. Who has taken over your account? I'm hoping NGE is just messing with us. Yeah, I'm just funning you guys. Almost died in my truck Monday (check out my tire on FB Nick), so stuff just feels weird now and I have a strong feeling of gratefulness. Life can just stop, like that. I think the greatest flaw in Green Lantern was utterly wasting Tim Robbins. I've been watching him dominate The Player for the past two nights and kinda in the mood to watch Mystic River now, but this is an actor that can elevate even Erik The Viking in something the paycheck he took for Green Lantern couldn't. I was pretty forgiving of the Director's Cut when I first watched it, but after watching the animated First Flight and Emerald Knights (seeing what the character is really about), thumbs way down for me (except for Mark Strong's role).
