  1. It's already all set for syndication after four seasons. Not knowing anything from it, I'm just assuming costs might have been cut here and there, if the stars are executive producing now (see Smallville) and people are doing grass-roots campaigns keeping it afloat. I have never watched an episode of it so far, but bought Season 9 on Black Friday for $5 on DVD because I saw Olivia Ryan Stern wearing daisy dukes or something in a promo.
  2. ABC won't (probably) drop Agents of SHIELD, due to ABC being owned by Disney and the fact that they can tie-in Avengers 2 to it and run loads of promos non stop upon it's release (see CA: Winter Soldier). After that... This will further prove that this series is just a product if they drop it afterwards. My
  3. NBC, one of the top three networks. That show has to bring in an audience to justify the ad revenue (or something like that).
  4. You should see it in both photos since its the same set with just a cast change?
  5. More people probably know who Julianne Hough is than Fred Astaire now.
  6. Myself, I think you both are right. The main problem with the characters is probably they are going through rewrites to make the show run better for the Modern era audience too. They probably wrote these characters really good (reflecting male chauvinism of the era), but have to hack away their screen time for more Agent Carter action to hook a Marvel audience also sacrificing a tone, thus making them look poorly written for the elite organization. Remember, you are watching a Disney product. They tend to water down anything that might make a worldwide audience uncomfortable. Movies with Walt Disney himself won't show him smoking, the nazis in Captain America barely get screentime, if you are hooker you'll be played by Julia Roberts and have a heart of gold, etc etc
  7. Seems to be the way it was in the 40's. War's over. Go back to being home makers. That is how many women felt from that period after doing their part to defeat the Axis. 'Run along now and have babies while cooking the husband's favorite meal.' That had to be a very tough transition. Maybe someone could embed "Wonder Woman: A Subversive Dream" from youtube for a little history with a comic character from that time period?
  8. Just finished Batman: Assault on Arkham. It was way better than I was expecting (Heath Corson screenplays haven't been so great). It's definitely not a kid's movie, it's very violent (but not as gory as Justice League: Throne of Atlantis) and aimed more for adults with a few profanities and a sexual situation. I feel everybody's reviews on this one are pretty spot on. It moved at a frantic enough of a pace with a winning combination of characters. Loved The Dark Knight easter egg, when Harley was digging through the Joker's stuff and many others scattered throughout. Recommended. 1. Superman/Batman: Apocalypse***1/2 2. Superman/Batman: Public Enemies***1/2 3. The Batman Superman Movie***1/2 4. All-Star Superman***1/2 5. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox***1/2 6. Batman: Assault on Arkham*** 7. Wonder Woman*** 8. Son of Batman*** 9. Batman: Year One*** 10. Superman: Doomsday*** 11. Superman Unbound*** 12. Green Lantern: First Flight*** 13. Justice League: Throne of Atlantis**1/2 14. Batman: Gotham Knight**1'2 15. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights**1/2 16. Justice League: Doom** 17. Justice League: War*1/2 18: JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time*1/2 Honorable Mention: The Lego Movie***
  9. After seeing the Jurassic World trailer and then laughing at the Mountain Dew spot I was pumped for the commercials as well...but then no Batman/Superman, 50 Shades of Who Cares and more depressing commercials about dads, girls, lost puppies, sexual assault and the like I was pretty subdued. Combine that with eating too much & barely seeing Katy's boobs bounce and it's a good thing the game was close or I would have fallen asleep. Peace, Chip Ted 2 was pretty funny.
  10. Too early for a teaser. It would feel like forever for it's release. Movies tend to age like dogs. My
  11. 30 second spots during the Superbowl supposedly costs about $4.5 million. Hope it's worth it.
  12. I forgot about the sequel to "Son of Batman". It looks great. (thumbs u
  13. Yes, he has done fine work, like Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior (13 episodes and done).
  14. After struggling to sit through the preachy and plodding "Thor: Tales of Asgard" from Marvel/Lionsgate, I figured I would update my list with a better movie (from DC no less). 1. Superman/Batman: Apocalypse***1/2 2. Superman/Batman: Public Enemies***1/2 3. The Batman Superman Movie***1/2 4. All-Star Superman***1/2 5. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox***1/2 6. Wonder Woman*** 7. Son of Batman*** 8. Batman: Year One*** 9. Superman: Doomsday*** 10. Superman Unbound*** 11. Green Lantern: First Flight*** 12. Justice League: Throne of Atlantis**1/2 13. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights**1/2 14. Justice League: Doom** 15. Justice League: War*1/2 16: JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time*1/2 Honorable Mention: The Lego Movie***
  15. Just finished Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Where it places on my DC list... 1. Superman/Batman: Apocalypse***1/2 2. Superman/Batman: Public Enemies***1/2 3. All-Star Superman***1/2 4. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox***1/2 5. Wonder Woman*** 6. Son of Batman*** 7. Batman: Year One*** 8. Superman: Doomsday*** 9. Superman Unbound*** 10. Green Lantern: First Flight*** 11. Justice League: Throne of Atlantis**1/2 12. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights**1/2 13. Justice League: Doom** 14. Justice League: War*1/2 15: JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time*1/2 Honorable Mention: The Lego Movie*** Like Justice League: Doom, I really enjoyed bits and pieces of this one. Green Lantern and Batman have a really amusing bromance still, there was a realistic Steel cameo and Superman & Wonder Woman's relationship is a little better "fleshed" out. What kills the good stuff is the return of the very annoying Shazzam (voiced immaturely by Sean Astin), hardly any Flash and Cyborg's character's arc (who am I?) that is totally abandoned and abruptly resolved with a promise of a date. There are two major swear words and loads of blood. I mean we are talking Evil Dead type gore. Blood actually runs down the screen. The most bloodthirsty character might be Mera. She impales, disembowels, stabs and so much more stuff than Jason Vorhees could ever imagine with h2o. At the end, they invite Aquaman to join the Justice League, but it makes you wonder why they didn't invite Mera instead. She could level armies with her will alone. Maybe she could do something about Shazzam for the next movie.
  16. Ashley Scott That was quick! http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=327953&Number=7383928#Post7383928
  17. Bradley Cooper smiles to much. Reminds me Tom Selleck who was originally cast as Indy back in the day. Which would have been a mistake (High Road to China). Indy has to have a seriousness about him, that is funny as chaos surrounds him (shooting the swordsman). Harrison got the joke. Pratt would be perfect for it too.
  18. Surprised they didn't up yhe "gurl-power" and make a Jenny Olson like Man of Steel.
  19. I haven't started Game of Thrones yet, but I thought he was a great Conan. (thumbs u
  20. I bought the Walmart Throne of Atlantis version today. Looked more interesting than I thought. Longer review when you get a chance, please. Probably be Friday night. Gotta catch up with my soap Tierre De Reyes tonight. Kimberly Dos Ramos.
