Re: Stuart Slade has died
So yeah. It's been literally been half a decade that I posted here, but I guess commenting on Stu's death, that's a good enough reason. The guy was a right-wing madman who wrote imho pretty dry prose, but at the same time (as mentioned) he had a trans character be one of the heroines of his story, a...

Re: CBS/Paramount new stupid fanfilm rules
Turns out that paying yourself 38,000 dollar salaries, selling Axanar Brand Coffee, models, and getting a shiney new studio (which you'll use for for-profit ventures) plus a career, all over the back of a large IP, is a bit too much for a studio to allow. Rule #1 of making fan films: Do Not Make Pro...

Hm, this Joker looks like he's trying to look crazy. Which is missing the point of the character. The Joker doesn't try to look crazy, he is crazy.

Re: Doctor Who, next companion?
Osgood. Leave the question of wether it was the actual Osgood that Missy killed or Zygon Osgood open for most of the season.
Then reveal it's the Zygon that's now the companion.

The reviews are starting to come in, and they're good. Very, very good for the most part. It has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though I'm aware that's not the most reliable site.

Re: Tom Crusie Edge of Tomorrow
It's good. It's REAL good. I got as much enjoyment out of this as I did from Pacific Rim, and that was the best popcorn movie of last year. I certainly think this is a better movie than X-Men, and Godzilla. It's almost Winter Soldier good. The only real letdown is the last few minutes, where they fu...

Hate Castro if you like.

Anyway, my point is that throwing Diana into an already crowded mix bodes ill for the attempt to establish a DC cinematic universe. It all but says they're not confident that a Diana solo film would work. And that's their problem. Confidence. WB/DC are afraid they can't make a compelling movie abou...

Ah, I guess that is what I was trying to allude to. So then, if that is all what dark matter is, then why wouldn't dark energy be energy that is "invisible"? Because dark energy cannot be observed. Neither optical nor radio telescopes can detect it and it emits no radiation. The only clue...

They also probably wanted to gather sufficient evidence to make a conviction reasonably likely once they got around to prosecution.

Nope, he merely said he'd regenerated "half a dozen times since we last met" which is correct, going from 4th to 10th Doctor. Assuming you ignore the fact that the last Doctor Sarah met was Five, in The Five Doctors. There was also the SJA episode with Eleven where he threw out an enormou...
