Reverend Jax

Your prising of Paul as one of the gems in the Pegg/Frost crown gives me hope that I will sharply disagree with your assessment of The World's End.

Did you mean 'prizing' or 'prising?' Because 'prising' means to remove, and 'prizing' means to value, and in context, 'prizing' makes more sense.

Been watching the new episodes. They have a few new features, like having a guest actor from some other TV come in for two sketches, often in a capacity that they need to be more of a good sport rather than be good at improv. They've had Maggie from The Walking Dead, Artie from Glee, a 'Real Housewife' and two others I can't remember.

The other new bit they have is behind the set they have a set with a camera on the ceiling looking down at a living room on it's side, so they actors have to lay down on the floor to look like they are standing up. It's the protected for the audience to see. It looks like this.

Rev Jax - you trying to covince us or yourself that you'll like it? You probably will. I just didn't like it.

I'm trying to convince people not to write it off because of one Hondonian's disappointment. Especially after Scott Pilgrim bombed so spectacularly at the box office, I want to encourage everyone to give this movie a fair shake at the theater, as I would very much like Edgar Wright to continue to have a career, and considering I think he makes very good use of a bigger budget, I'd rather he not be relegated to only making films for like $200,000, because he has the inventive imagination to do things most other filmmakers wouldn't, if he has the budget for it. Considering everyone but you seems to have enjoyed it, I would rather people stateside stay excited for it.

A solid entry into DC's Direct-to-Video Animated Feature library. A JL story focused around Flash in which the world is thrown into an alternate timeline where, among other differences, a war between Atlantis and Themyscira is about to cause the end of the world, and only Flash (Barry Allen) remembers the unaltered timeline. Other differences in the alternate timeline include

Again, a solid entry in the series, and worth a watch if you enjoy the DC animated features, and I imagine would be especially enjoyed by fans of Barry Allen Flash, as this is the 19th entry in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series and Flash has only appeared in JL movies without getting his own movie.

The reporting was that she did not want to reprise the role because they replaced the director that was working on it, but she had a contract, so she's on board. I don't know how many Marvel films she has to be in to fulfill her contract, but if it's only two, they might choose to kill her off rather than recast her for future Thor stories.

I mean, both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz have 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, and The World's End has 92%. I've read a lot of positive things about The World's End from the people that have seen it over in Europe. Before Crim's review, I was just curious if it was going to be the best R-rated comedy about the end of the world with summer, or the second best. I'm not going to say it's impossible I won't like it, but my instincts tell me I will, and the overwhelming positive feedback outweighs Crim's disappointment.

As much as I like Aubrey Plaza, I don't think Daria translates well to live action. The trailer was amusing, but I saw a lot of people online say that seeing this fake trailer makes them wish they would actually make a live action Daria movie, and I say watching this trailer makes me glad that they probably never will.

The reviews have been damned near universally positive. I'm gonna chalk this up to crim being kind of a weirdo.

This will be, as Baytor educated me on last year, one of the several hundred mainstream, Hollywood studio films about slavery to be released this year, same as Hollywood does every year.

Calm down already, Hollywood. There are simply not enough hours in the day for us to watch EVERY big-budget, widely released, star-studded movie you release depicting what slavery was like. I mean, most people have jobs and families. Have you ever considered that maybe some of us would like to watch a movie with attractive white 20-somethings playing the roles of attractive white teenagers in an upper-middle class high school setting? Think about it, k?

We asked for a Wolverine film, and we've been given just that.

What do you mean 'we,' kemosabe?

Awesome.

Watched it Sunday. Wasn't the kind of awesome film that First Class was, the kind I'd like to rewatch and will enjoy years from now, but I had fun while watching it. While watching it, I did not once wonder what an Aronofsky Wolverine movie would have looked like, so that's saying something. The production wasn't as slick as Man of Steel, but ultimately it was a better movie, of the 3 comic book movies of the summer I've seen (I haven't seen and don't plan to see Red 2, and Kick-Ass 2 hasn't come out yet), it's at #2, behind Iron Man 3.

I wonder if this grandson will be Apollo the 3rd, or if he'll have another name.

I would attend that baby shower.

Isn't that the trailer that was already out long before Comic Con?

You're right. I posted the wrong video.

Comic Con trailer. Looks like it's gonna be pretty good, though I'm not sure it will win over many of the people that like the books and were disappointed by the first movie.

Diseased alien tigers.

Diseased alien tiger-nado.

I know what everyone here has been clamoring for. A story about how a white man is the only hope for a group of non-white men. White man to the rescue!

I think the third threat will be

Still.

Devastating point. Whatcha got ta say ta THAT, Baytor?

I uploaded that.

 

1,740 hits. Weep suckas.

Yeah, and 3 likes. I didn't say I had a video with 75 views.

Shit, I would probably do that if a youtube video got like 100 views.

I have a YouTube video with 75 likes. Can I be three quarters full of myself?

That is not summery at all! The Sentinel's colors are supposed to let all the mutants know that he's fun and perky! I'm calling it now. X-Men: Days of Future Part...worst...X-film...ever!

I just cannot take a killer robot seriously if he doesn't not have a pink and purple color scheme. The Sentinel is totally a summer, and he should accessorize his outfit accordingly.

I know that, particularly nowadays, each hero doesn't have a rogues gallery that belongs exclusively to them. The villains belong to the universe, and while most villains are most closely associated with a particular hero or hero team, they can be shuffled around a bit. The X-Men can fight Kingpin, Iron Man can fight the Juggernaut, etc. But Ultron is Ant-Man signature villain. He is to Ant-Man what the Joker is to Batman, or what Lex Luther is to Superman, or what Magneto is to the X-Men. I have always assumed that Ultron would be a villain in an Ant-Man movie, or at least in an Avengers movie that featured Ant-Man. This is like if they have made Loki the villain in an Avengers movie without Thor in it, and before giving Thor a solo movie. Who the fuck is Ant-Man supposed to fight in his own movie? Porcupine? Whirlwind? Or is Ant-Man going to face Ultron in his own movie after Ultron was introduced in Avengers 2 as TONY STARK'S INVENTION?

This seems like the wrong movie for Marvel.
