Say what now? How is a knee-slapping joke about George Lucas to nobody in particular tatamount to a dismissive personal attack? I mean, except to George Lucas. What I envisioned is more like for half-a-sec the audience thinks Loki's about to make a comeback, and then, SURPRISE! NOPE! Vintage...

OK, you got me curious. By what virtue do you feel comfortable saying Whedon's stuff is a failure, and then dismissing Bill's opinion as irrelevant because you don't see him as a keen industry insider? You're not really Kevin Klein, are you? I thought that was just a picture! Buffy didn't get...

So here's the thought process being presented: people enjoyed that scene, ergo any other way of handling that scene must therefore be utterly ruinous. Irrational mental barrier identfied. Advocating its revision does not equate to advocating the loss of the scene. That's simply a false...

Yeah, I was a bit puzzled by Hobo's comments myself. Firefly, sure. Angel? Meh. But definitely not Buffy.

I guess you hated all those scenes that showed Loki doing that stuff, because it was "the same trope you've seen in dozens of films", right? No? Then why in the world are we off on this tangent that came about when you said you would have hated to see Loki display some power against Hulk...

Pretty sweet. Not much else to be said.

Well, that's the basic wrinkle with the character right there. That's the impression the movie bestows. He's very watered down, basically not much to write home about without his scepter thing. Can't be both powerful and a pantywaist. Which should an arch-villain be? I'd better not see that...

Oh, I luaghed mightily at the scene as well, I just have that rare trait that allows for appreciation and criticism to co-exist. I felt that adding a touch of menace instead of just impotent shouting, makes it more of a secne from an action movie rather than a Three Stooges short (indignant head...

It's a trope you've seen a dozen times either way. Changing bluster to blaster doesn't change the dialogue or the resulting beatdown. The difference is only a slight variation that incorporates a genuine threat to go along with all the dire "I'm a god" boasts. Seems like a much bigger payoff to...

Oh, can somebody explain to me what's the difference between seeing Avengers in Imax 3D and seeing Avengers in "Imax: a 3D Experience"?

The Hulk's level of intelligence has always been variable. In the previous films, he was little more than a raging animal, and that's kind of how he acted on the helicarrier. It's one of those unfortunate barriers directors seem to have with Hulk. They think it's campy for him to be able to...

Yeah, it was geat. I would have liked it better if instead of empty bluster, Loki was actually blasting Hulk, making the auidence think for a moment that he was turning the tables back in his favor. THEN he gets abruptly smashed.

Perhaps some are too young to remember Thanos' debut, but it was a story arc that ran through several different Marvel titles. It was a crossover event before "crossover event" was an accepted term. So, perhaps he'll pose a thread throughout IM3 and whatever else Marvel churns out. Gotta say, I...

Yes, this is always the kind of stuff I hear, and never the kind of stuff I experience. More frustrating with each passing year.

Y'know, the sad thing is I used to love Hulk as a kid, but I've been disheartened by years of superhero RPG'ing. Nobody ever wants to play Batman or Captain America or Spider-Man. Everybody wants to be Hulk or Tick or some other lunk. It's been very rare that I've found a player who fantasizes...

Cap's costume was one of the few disappointments. The way the fabric bunched-up in certain places (like the neck) was decidedly Adam-Westish. I halfway suspect that having proper wings on the helm (as in the comics) rather than being decals would have looked better, added the kind of length and...

Maybe Coulson will come back as The Crimson Cowl or The Invincible Man or the Black Lama. Or, maybe he's just dead. I'd say this film is a pretty big step in the evolution of the superhero film (which has a ways to go from being fully realized). Singer and Nolan both set the tone for superhero...

iPad all the way, especially if you can get a deal. The Kindle just ain't much to write home about.

I have a similar concern that the game will wear me out long before I can make a dent in it. And I won't even bother to sit down and play it casually to kill an hour. But regardless, Gamefly should have it here by tomorrow.

Soooo....It's a watch. A watch that doesn't break down because of its old-school design...as opposed to modern watches, which don't break down due their high-tech designs. ;) I kid. I'm sure it will be a very nice watch.
