    Avatar: The Last Airbender questions

    Ok, I have a question. I taped the marathon, and so far watched the first 6 episodes. I like the show. Without spoiling specifics, does the show always stay light-hearted, or do they eventually wind up in desperate and dire situations where bad things happen? This show seems to have a great...

    Any good action/adventure cartoons?

    Me and the gf watched the first six episodes of Avatar tonight. Fun. It toes the line on being anime enough that I can watch it even thought most anime annoys me, and she can watch it when shes an anime-fangirl. The show is FUNNY, which is important, and has some nice fight scenes so far...

    Feast For Crows rocks so far!(small spoilers)

    I finally finished it after re-reading the first three (originally read in 2003). I havent been to the ASOIAF boards yet, but just read ths thread and now I'm gonna throw my opinions in the ring. Going in, I wasn't as fearful of the split-book as others as I am NOT a fan of Jon Snow at all...

    Potter Franchise should take a page from LOTR Book

    the danger has already passed. 16 playing 13 is a bigger problem than 20something playing 17. its called puberty. The actors were passing through it in movie 2 when it probably should have happened in movie 3, none of us cared, and thats that. Recasting would be a travesty. Everyone...

    Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix (film #5) - Rampant speculation and bashing!

    Um, dude... thats the point. It FAILED at what it was trying to do, therefore its bad. (and in my opinion, one of the worst ever) this is a fine line to walk when writing a book, and in my opinion she failed on every count. They hyped the death before the book came out, trumpeting it to anyone...

    Marvel 1602 is freaking AWESOME!

    Hey look, ANOTHER alternate universe with ANOTHER take on the SAME old characters. yawn. If this wasn't written by Gaiman it would have died a slow unnoticed death.

    Any good action/adventure cartoons?

    Justice League. and thats it. Gargoyles is a great cartoon of old that you didn't ilist. I've watched Full Metal Alchemist in its entirety and while it was better than most anime, it still didn't work for me.

    Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix (film #5) - Rampant speculation and bashing!

    if they cut out all the fluff from book 5 theyll have a 20 minute movie. :-D I can't wait to see how the world's worst death scene plays out on film.

    Movies which surprised you.

    Those three are all good choices. (Deep Blue Sea, Serenity, Terminator 3) So many recent movies have been novel / comic book adaptations or remakes, so its even harder to be surprised.

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire reviews starting to roll in

    it was pretty good. probably the easiest book to turn into a movie, and that part showed. some of the challenges seemed a little quick (presumably to stay under budget), but the fact that the movie didnt seem long at all probably means the scenes were longer than they felt. the wrap-up was a bit...

    When an author kills characters...

    i scanned the thread to make sure there wasnt any Feast for Crows spoiers, as I havent read the book yet. (So hopefully, thats still new enough to go behind spoiler tags). I will feel free to talk about the deaths already presented by KB though. (In Buffy and the first three ASOIAF books) I...

    Can you spot the fake smile?

    i got a 13/20. i'm not happy. i know what through me though. although i KNEW what to look for, the videos all run a little too long, and then the sudden end to the smiles would stump me. i am happy with one thing though. the ones i was ABSOLUTELY SURE of, i got right. the ones i got wrong...

    Pizza. Do you call it 'pie'?

    you order a slice of pizza "yolemmegettaslice" or a whole pie "wewantalargepie" i ask my friends if they want pizza...they say yes...and then i call and order a pie. or two or three pies. i would never actually say the word Pizza to the guy in the pizzeria. that would be unnecessary.

    Infinite Crisis #2 SPOILERS

    yes, they did an awful superman storyline that was disconnected from the goings on of the DCU and so they tried to explain that it happened one year later... but the whole story sucked, was badly written, and should never be talked about. near the end of this Crisis... EVERY dc title is going...

    Infinite Crisis #2 SPOILERS

    Ok, so Earth2 Superman relays the history of the pre-Crisis Earths and the original Crisis to Power Girl. He calls his little "pocket dimension" watch-room he has spent the last 20 years with only Lois, Alexander Lthor and Superboy-Prime "sort of like heaven" but is sorta upset that Earth1 has...

    Leading Ladies Showdown Final: Wonder Woman Wins

    Until a few months ago, I might've voted Leia. But now that Diana has taken a stance against Superman and Batman and their hangups and nonsense, she has become just as strong a personality as Leia. With strength of character balanced out, Wonder Womans other advantages (cooler costume, cooler...

    Hair spray and spandex did mix for a time...

    and for all you Sebastian Bach fans, don't forget to catch him in his recurring role on Gilmore Girls. Priceless.
