Mr. Hakujin

Fwoosh has you covered on updated Marvel Legends year round. Most Mezco 1:12 are around $80. The Darkseid is $120. I almost bought the 1:12 Iron Man until the 80 year one was announced. The Mezco one comes with a nice stand and way more accessories, but $25 beats out $80, so I'll go with the Marvel Legends. @Donatella If you really want that Homecoming set, expect to pay $40 for it and it's only sold at Target. You'll see them online for $50+ once they start hitting stores, which should be this week if not already. Speaking of Legends, once I get the Colossus/Juggy two-pack, the Magneto & kids three-pack, and that way overpriced Professor X w/ hover-chair, my 90s X-Men collection will be caught up. They still have to put out a white costume Storm, and I think that will cover all the main charcaters from the comics and Fox show. Right, Newt?

Agreed. Good, not great. I'd give it a B/B+. Likes: Dislikes:

Nah, DS9 was mostly forgettable.

Good on you for discovering this show, Axels. It's one of my faves, too. Bill Hader has always been funny in my book, but he's getting that Robin Williams level cred for drama now with this series. Anyone else who hasn'r jumpe don this series, definitely give it a try. He's maybe my favorite character in the show. Loved that whole scene on the bus and afterwards in S2E7. I hope I see this actor in more stuff. I literally know him for only two roles: as Mr. Zsaz in Gotham and as Hank in Barry. Both are wildly different characters and both are utterly riveting in their own ways. And this cast is great. Root, Winkler, the whole lot at the drama school--fantastic.

Look which film is conspicuously missing from this line-up of films at the end of the trailer. Fox is like, we don't care if we don't own this franchise anymore. No one wants Rattner-men.

I'm kinda with ya here. Have I had unmet expectations this season? Definitely. But this is a show which became famous for subverting expectations. So, I can't hate on the creators for being true to their show's style since that final scene of S1E1. And S8E5 not only stayed true to the series tradition of offering a giant twist for major characters in the penultimate episode, but it offered perhaps one of the greatest twists in TV history. (Well, maybe more of a turn than a twist. But it was still spectacular af.) I do feel like there is a lot--A LOT--to wrap up in the 80 minutes they have for the finale. Can't wait to see if they pull it all off.

So, how bout dat Battle of Winterfell, y'all?

I have to say, I did like it more on the second viewing. However, I'm still not seeing how people on social media are all "OMGREATEAST MOVIE EVARRR1!1!" There are at least two very problematic faults I've got with the plot, and the overall tone is a bit forced and self indulgent. I'd still put it as the third best Avengers flick after Infinity War & Avengers.

Yeah, you just don't hand someone a sword like that before a battle with white walkers and not expect 'em to fuck some serious shit up. However,... And if Paul Walker is alive then I damn well better see Vin Diesel riding a dragon as he shouts about the importance of family. I betcha a pint of Guinness I'm right.

Pshh. Lemmings. Go in to this one with lowered expectations and empty bladders, Hondo's. Not really spoilers, but if you don't want to know anything, I'll tag these comments... Protip: don't bother sitting through the 10 minutes of credits. This film has no scene after the credits.

So what's your dead death pool predictions for S8E3, Hondo's ?

Theon: *raises hand* I'll do it. Me: STFU Theon Everyone: Nah. Let him do it. Me: [/img]

I saw this a few nights ago and was pleasantly surprised. At it's heart this is a pretty touching "coming of age" story. Ian McShane is always a win in my book, and shockingly I did not miss Ron Perlman as Big Red at all during this flick. The CGI is pretty damn solid, both in quality and design, as well. The problem is in the script. It's like others have mentioned, just a whole mess of stories and characters thrown in together with an insanely weak "major" villain. It's actually a shame this is a movie because the same script with the same characters fleshed out by a few good writers would've turned this into an incredibly awesome 6-8 episode season of a Hellboy TV show. Hopefully the box office doesn't kill the franchise and it can possibly continue as a BPRD show on HBO or Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime...

Solid theory, but don't forget the X-Men. I think we'll see more Skrull, Kree, and now most likely Shi'ar in Phase IV as well. If Fox hadn't already done versions of the Phoenix Saga twice, I'd say that'd be a shoe-in for Phase IV, but I'm not betting it'll play a big part in Phase IV. Further down the line once X-Men are recast and established in the MCU, it's possible. My bet on the "Next Thanos" is Annihilus. (Hopefully we also get an awesome Galactus/Silver Surfer film in the next decade. ) Or we could all be wrong and Phases IV-VI will just be Deadpool and Squirrel Girl led film parodies of the first three phases.

^That trailer is nerd Viagra. Already have my tickets for the IMAX 3D showing on Thursday. Bring on them time loop-diddy-loops!

Damn you FX! Stop toying with my emotions!

Bran and Cersei/Elephant memes alone make this episode a winner. I'll be honest, I was hoping for a bit more action considering this is such a condensed season. However, I'm not calling it a bad episode by any means. Looks like next week shit is gonna get real though. S8E1: Grade of B+ for content. Grade of A+ for memes.

Well this update was one big tease.

I never read the comics, but the show was damn good. Looking forward to S2.

Season 2 finally made it to Hulu, so I'm looking fwd to binging. I'd like to re-watch S1 since it's been so long since I've seen it, but ain't nobody got time for that.

A week since I started S2 and I'm only 8 episodes in. So much meandering and meh--sadly what you kinda expect of the MARVEL Netflix shows. It's not Iron Fist level bad, more like Jessica Jones S2 level uneven and boring. (No one cares this much about Russo and his messed up shrink. We came to see the muhfuh Punisher!) Speaking of which, Frank doesn't put on the skull vest until the end of E7. Also, I'm four minutes in to E9 and Frank has just realized what he should've understood since S1E1. It's frustrating because Bernthal showed us all in DDS2 he was made for the role,of Punisher, but the writing and direction of his own damn series makes me struggle to even care. I hope the series picks up in the third act, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yay. Pretty much what I thought after seeing the trailer for the first time. Either way, Mysterio with fishbowl head FTW!

^Preach. I watched that clip twice. I really need to see this movie again in the theater before it gets pushed out.

Boy howdy. Hell hath no fury like a Maklan (s I'm not sure if that particular use of the holodeck was ever addressed on Star Trek: TNG or DS9 (I know Quark had "holo-sweets" used for that purpose in DS9) but I know they did address the addiction of holodeck with Lt. Barkley in some great ways in TNG. Orville handled it in a way that I thought was, um, interesting. S2E2 Still, it was a good episode and the CGI for that star was amazing. Not to mention all those Maklan prosthetics. (So many nipples.)

Saw S2E1 and dug it. Beverly Crusher never had to deal with shit like this from Wesley (except that one time at the academy). Kinda surprised they didn't get more graphic with the actual ja'loja, but I'm not complaining. (Ain't nobody tryna see that.) But this episode kind of encapsulates why I loe this show so much. It's essentially a parody of Star Trek & TNG but it's done in a loving and serious way,; it's tone is similar in a lot of ways to Galaxy Quest. Anyway, I need to get to S2E2 soon.
