    Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

    Good luck with that, though. A movie like Captain America, which is essentially a one-pony show and giving the key role to an unknown? There's no way they could possibly sell it, I don't think. (Just a reality of how the movie industry works.) A relative unknown as Anakin Skywalker (Hayden...

    Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

    Which would work if you want to emphasize Cap as the embodiment of Stoner America, sure. :p I think McConaughey does a great job in the upcoming Tropic Thunder movie, but it's a role that didn't really require much of an acting stretch, honestly, and I personally don't feel he's got the chops...

    Who will write the "Hobbit 2" tie-in novel?

    I seriously doubt there will be any movie novelization, if only because I can't see the Tolkien estate allowing such a thing. what will more than likely happen is that they will simply issue rereleases of all the Tolkien novels, with special emphasis on the Lost Tales and/or Silmarillion, like...

    Lost S04e10 01 May 08 - Something Nice Back Home

    I like Kate most of the time, but I really don't like Kate/Jack. I just don't really like them together at all. Evangeline and Matthew have good chemistry, but they're just such a poor pairing in terms of how their relationship has developed. I can see- character wise- why Jack likes her (she's...

    This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.May.05

    I'm kind of curious as to why they came out with it so early in the summer myself. I'd have thought it would make more sense to wait until June, when the kids are out of school- as they might be the best target for that kind of movie. (Don't get me wrong- I'm going to see it. I never really...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP05: The Poison Sky (spoilers)

    Seems to me I recall seeing another reference to an earlier Who episode, but now I can't remember what it was.

    Iron Man

    Harold "Happy" Hogan (played by Jon Favreau in the movie) is Tony Stark's longtime chauffeur. He's also a former professional boxer, and eventually ends up marrying Pepper Potts in the comics. Rhodey, actually. A nickname for James Rhodes, who is Tony's pilot in the comic. Not the point...

    Iron Man

    It's nothing to do specifically with Iron Man or the comic, just in watching or reading anything in general. To me, if you don't know someone's name, you can't really identify with them quite as well as if you do. You lose a sense of connection to them. It's the difference between saying "Oh...

    Lost S04e10 01 May 08 - Something Nice Back Home

    That could be. I was thinking maybe she wanted the baby or something, but couldn't figure how that made sense. I think I buy his story about just being there to do his job. He knows that the others are there to kill anyone on the island that isn't part of the plan, and doesn't approve. He was...

    Lost S04e10 01 May 08 - Something Nice Back Home

    Because then they'd have to kill her off, like they kill off everyone who manages to complete their story arcs. :p Sucks that Rousseau is really dead. Dang. Other than that, yeah- a so-so episode. Couldn't figure out why Charlotte was smiling as Jin walked away. Was that just some kind of...

    Iron Man

    Just got back from this, and I really enjoyed it. My biggest complaint? That they didn't give some of the major players names until well into the picture (Rhodey, Yinsen, even Happy). I knew who they were, being an Iron Man reader, but I'm sure a lot of people didn't, and it's one thing that...

    New Monster Swordwing!

    Reminds me an awful lot of the Sabreclaw, from CM3: Sabre River.

    Apocalypses in Fantasy Worlds

    The first two series of Masters of the Universe mini-comics cast Eternia as a post-Apocalyptic world. (The later mini-comics, DC Comics, and of course cartoon seemed to get away from that notion, and added on all the Prince Adam stuff.)

    LOST (24 Apr 08 episode)

    Another thing to consider is that maybe Ben didn't so much call the Smoke Monster as just shut down the perimeter fence completely. In the aforementioned episode with Juliet and Kate, the thing was kind of lingering around the Others' camp, and the women only escaped it by opening and closing...

    LOST (24 Apr 08 episode)

    There was some evidence that the Others knew what the smoke monster was last season (in the episode where Kate and Juliet were stuck together), and I don't think it's all that unusual that Ben knows what it is and how to summon it. He didn't necessarily seem to control it- after all, he does...

    Graphic Novels for a 10 Year Old...

    Fifthed for Bone. Just picked up the first volume recently myself, after hearing about it for years. Also, I think a 10 year old certainly might find PS238 to be to his liking, and possibly Nodwick as well. The best part is, you can look over some of the daily strips for both series at Aaron...

    Ptolus: The Prison of the Sahuagin Queen

    Vanden moves to Garn's side, dropping into a defensive stance. "The door...? What could it possibly be?" Ready an action to attack the "door" if a threat manifests.

    LOST (24 Apr 08 episode)

    Yeah, I'm still not convinced Rousseau is definitively dead. After what happened to Alex (both the original kidnapping and now her death*), I fully expect Rousseau to redress the matter with Ben by the end of things. *Even though I couldn't see any way of Alex surviving under the circumstances...

    Ptolus: The Prison of the Sahuagin Queen

    Vanden frowns at Maugra's observation. "Then it is more imperative than ever that we investigate, to make certain that the Sahuagin Queen remains undisturbed." He looks over at Ada with concern. "We should see that she is safely taken care of first, though. Maugra, do you think that your temple...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP03: Planet of the Ood (spoilers)

    He/It is the illithid god. Takes the form of a giant brain.
