    Also, it blames the Three Mile Island disaster on the O:W events, which happened in 1979.

    My brain hurts now.
    They did show a little older version of Cyclops in X-Men: First Class playing baseball, as well as Storm reading a book.

    Sick of Super 8

    After seeing the movie I think the promotions of Super 8 are kind off the mark. I thought this movie was going to be a monster movie in line with Cloverfield, but surprisingly it wasn't...it was better. The movie felt like a Love Letter to 80's kid adventure films like Monster Squad and Goonies. I wish I knew, I would have taken my nieces to it but unfortunately the advertising for the film weren't promoted to convey it.

    Let's put it this way then. When Magneto faced off Shaw at the end, he had more control of his powers and threw everything he had at him and nothing he threw even got near him, pipes and pieces of metal just sorta missed him, and the large girder Magneto was trying to push at him was instead pushed back. Maybe young Eric was trying to send forces at him, but Shaw absorbed all the forces coming his vicinity.

    The pane of glass wasn't thin. In fact, it didn't even crack even with the commotion behind it. Shaw probably had that room set up to test Eric's powers or to dissect him if he failed. Besides, Shaw had nothing to worry about, it's not like Eric could really hurt him.

    So Jonah Hex

    On this board, I'm usually a proponent for most films (especially CBMs), but this was one movie, I couldn't really say anything good about. I mean, they made a tent explode...a tent, and for no reason other than to make it explode. Even Bay was going WTF!?

    All that said, I'd be taking a radio/paper mish (preferably one in a cave) and waiting until I saw the red message telling me it's all blown over.
    It doesn't look shopped to me, the ambiant green light from the sky is saturating the colors of the buildings.

    Green Lantern Annual vol. 3 #7, when Kyle faces a bunch of dead Lanterns, Mogo was one of them. Next time we see Mogo, he's alive with no explanation.
  10. If you're gonna murder someones childhood do it right!

Sure, folks gripe how nothing ever progresses in comics, but those are usually the first ones to scream bloody murder when they pick up a comic after not reading for five or ten years and scream at the top of their lungs "THEY DID WHAT!?!?!"
    That guy may be Alan Moore, creator of Mogo. Mogo will be back, it's not the first time they 've killed him. Only last time they didn't even bother to explain how!

    I always wonder why people expect adaptations like movies, books, and TV shows to be true to a narrative that has never been true to itself.
  12. I was playing games in my room. My roomate did tell me that someone knocked on the door at 6:00 PM. I asked who it was, but she said she didn't answer as she thought it was a Jehova's witness or some other person she was trying to avoid. I was immediately reminded of a Twilight Zone/Outer Limits (can't remember which) episode where a guy refused to answer the door to some people he thought were government agents and missed out on the Rapture.

    Looks like we may have missed out, or not since Camping is still here as well (you'd think he'd be taken). Anyway, Camping now stats the date of the rapture has been moved to the day of the Apolocypse on October 21. Darn, I was looking really forward to the big Halloween party this year.

    Cause no one really watches those...jk...well sorta...they don't garner an audience like familiar IPs do, and many of them flop outright.
  14. Looks interesting however I wish they had more Peter Vincent in it so I can see what Tennant does with the character. Peter Vincent is what will make this a Must See Theater watch for me as opposed to a rental.

    I don't mean dark as in mood but as in lighting. Most of the movie took place at night and even when they would be in well lit rooms you could look around and see 3/4 of the screen was darkness and shadows.

    The majority of the action scenes were in darkness too so you got to see Thor in action but the action was blurry. Jotunheim was practically pitch black. And even when he fought the destroyer in broad daylight it was only light until he regained his power. At which point they took the fight to the inside of a dark tornado where you could sort of see that he was whirling his hammer.

    And I didn't see the movie in 3d either which would have made it even darker.

    But other than that I had no complaints at all. The warriors three and Sif were near perfect.
    Saw it twice in 3D (love the movie with both viewings BTW), once in Digital Real 3D and another time in IMAX 3D. The darkness you experienced, I saw only in Digital Real 3D. IMAX 3D was much brighter, plus didn't have the contrast problems with Read 3D that causes characters to look like Cardboard cutouts when they are bright colored against a dark background.
  18. These ears, if marketed right, could be the next biggest thing since the healy.

    I'm positive if they market the ears as a toy in the US, they will make a lot of money. Any distributer that helps them do so will make a mint as well.

    A good use of technology to me is one that sells, and I think it's a pretty good invention as I'm sure it will sell well amongst the young, cosplayers, and anime crowd (well that's kinda redundant isn't it?). Now, they just need to make it easy to buy. How much are they anyway?

    The next version should allow for one ear droops when flirting or winking.

    Fast Five

    Holy crap I just waited in line to be seated for Fast Five, and long lines are formed for other showings for the movie. Who would'a thunk it?!
