Davenport

...is the show I look forward to the most each week. It's now up to Episode 8 (for you binge-watchers out there). If you're not watching, you really should. The quality and writing are excellent. Multilevel plotlines, rich characters. Might be the best show on tv right now. Seriously.

That really is a superior sculpt. Iconic.

Pleasure. I miss the days of filler putty, airbrush and acrylics. Resin figure kits are a blast, but p'shop does nice imaginings.

Had to drag that Kingdom Come into p'shop for a pretend paint job. Had to.

Man, what a great looking sculpt! The price though. Wowza. Resin kits have come a long way. He should offer a traditional S-Shield variant of it. (are you listening all you international recasters? )

I've had the full size original DKR for a long time. Same DK stockiness, but not that tall of a statue. That new one looks massive.

I keep drooling over this badazz DK Batman statue. DC Comics Designer Series Statue - Dark Knight III The Master Race Batman By Andy Kubert For the money ($120 pre-order) and the size (Foot tall) it seems like a decent showpiece. Clean DK design.

I thought WWZ at least had a plotline to enjoy. A medical mystery to solve, plus a 'mission impossible' course of action and act of heroism. Good stuff, way beyond the typical kill-cry-survive gore wallowing monotony of typical zombie tales. Definitely worth a re-watch.

One wtf-visual-shock was they had the Lead Elf-Girl look amazing. Capital-G gorgeous just hanging out in her room ...Then almost the very next scene, a formal party no less, they had her looking like hell. WTF?? All her costume changes does keep it interesting though, more hit than miss.

Yeah, it's light entertainment (TV14) so I don't expect too much. Nice visuals though. Not having read the books I thought the 'post-civilization' element was surprising. Kind of gives it a Thundarr vibe. They haven't done much with it. It's just there in the background, rotted husks of what was.

Found out Syfy had aired the 1st episode mid-December commercial-free so I watched that. Really enjoyed it. Pulled me in and left me wanting more. Also found out Comcast bought Syfy and their app disappeared on Roku. Dumb move, when many premium-content providers are detaching themselves from cable-only. Less eyeballs for The Magicians, even if it does turn out to be good.

Really? Nobody? The novels are bestsellers so I can't be the only one. If done well this could be epic tv, especially if they get to the later books. Syfy can be hit or miss, but the cast seems decent enough.

This month! Anyone else excited about Syfy doing The Magicians? The novels trilogy was phenomenal. I just wish it were Netflix with S1 released all at once.

Animated, but in Brad Bird-like hands. There have been a few animated TV shows with the Fantastic Four, and you can see how in the wrong hands it doesn't go over so well.For film I think they need to go photorealistic, cutting edge groundbreaking. A techno excellence wonder-to-behold jawdropper. Something that makes headlines technologically and gets butts in seats. Make it epic, galactic, pack it with that Jack Kirby cosmic chariots-of-the-gods stuff. Use the core material and blow people's minds with the grand-fantasy of it all. What it's meant to be. Surfer, Galactus, Skrulls, Doom, worlds, dimensions, POWER, spectacle. All of it. Put the "Fantastic" back in FF. Where anyone with a single geek-cell in their body has to go see for themselves.

Do FF 100% CGI. Cartoony like Incredibles or photorealistic like some of that Final Fantasy eyecandy. A stretchy-guy is always going to seem silly in the real world. But animation done exceptionally well, the FF could own that space. While everyone else is zigging, zag.

But the Buffy character didn't start off in comics like the other characters. I didn't realize how disappointed in the movie Joss Whedon was, leading to his creation of the TV show to make up for her first cinema appearance. Right, but Buffy's still a 'super' hero with enhanced abilities. And Pike's statement was about 'first ever' movie. Like our knuckle-dragging neanderthal culture hadn't produced any before Gal Gadot's role as WW.

...and people forget Buffy TVS started as a movie.

...and Barb Wire.

I've calmed down. Pine's statement just struck me as very condescending to women. "...how wonderful the world can be with beautiful, strong intelligent women...blah, blah, blah. A verbal cheek-pinch and head-pat.

Wow. I guess Chris Pine's kind of hyperbole still makes good pc press, but c'mon Chris, it's almost 2016. Without even breaking a mental-sweat there's been Ripley, Electra, Lucy, the Underworld franchise, the Resident Evil franchise, plus small independent films like Hanna. Toss in the new Mad Max while I'm at it. If you love movies featuring strong kick azz female leads (like I do) there's hardly a shortage. Good, bad and drek. His "it’s finally time" is a myth at best and a divisive culture-play at worst. If anything "it’s finally time" to give it a rest. If you're still unaware women have been bringing the action and heroics, wake up and look around some. End: Had to be said.

It sounds even worse. : WTF? Why? That suspiciously sounds like going off the rails. Intentionally. I just hope Pegg's idea of "more Star Trek stuff" isn't silliness and gags. And it must really suck to land a major role in a major franchise, get good feedback and reviews, only to be dropped. B'bye Doctor.

Plus the goofy 'my azz on a mast ' Batman face. So no 'Mast2Bat Cover' jokes, please.

Looks pretty good. Surprised to see that retconning of the world's religions angle. Was the Age of Apocalypse story line like that? (mainly DC so I don't know Apocalypse) Pretty risky, potentially alienating large swaths of audience even before the curtain goes up. Probably not the smartest move and one of Hollywood's blind spots imho.

+1 Yep. Today's fans are fully familiar with Universe distinctions. It's used more in print and reviews now, 'animated universe', 'cinematic universe', tv, comic, game, etc. Like or reject any or all, consumer's choice.
