Re: Captain America Filming Pictures (SPOILERS)

One of them looks nothing like Chris Evans - the others, I'm not so sure. Currently looks retarded though. As I noted on SB, maybe they plan to enhance it in post. probably a stunt driver lets just hope the difference isn't that obvious in the final film. Yeah, I've read that it's a stunt driver in...

Re: nBSG Force Sub: Choose a new Galactica

Those New Macross ships have visibly superior shields (large, battleship-style secondary batteries glance off in 'F', while SDF-1 had that jury rigged ridiculous trackball system, and the thing that blows up Canada when shot.) Also, SDF-1's internal volume made no sense. If it's a bit more than a k...

I must confess, I wasn't a big BSG fan. B4 is 7.5km long, so if that makes it too big, I capitulate and submit for your approval The SDF-1 I'll see your SDF-1 and raise you a dedicated fleet defender: the New Macross-class transformable battle carrier. The SDF-1 would probably perform better than a...

No, not why he told Moloch, that made perfect sense, he needed a confidant, and that's why he chose Moloch, but rather they didn't go over at any why he didn't inform any of his superiors or anything, save part of his incoherent ramble to Moloch. It's not a major plot hole, but it is one that shoul...

Re: Watchmen. [SPOILERS!]

There was a line about him sneaking in to keep tabs on Ozy when he found out. For some reason, he never reported it, which was sort of an omission in the original work too, but seems moreso now since he was supposedly there for the express purpose of looking into Ozy's affairs instead of acting on ...

Re: The Avatar movie...and resulting controversy

It's the first time I've heard about a film adaptation, directed by M. Night Shyamalan no less (ack). This is probably a storm in a tea-cup, but the main cast were entirely of white background, and there wasn't a single Inuit-looking/Asian actor in there. But apparently Dev Patel is in for Zuko now...

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser trailer

I'll admit I'm not following the latest spoilers (since I don't want to have anything spoiled) but AFAIK the Fallen was a lameass magic villain that doesn't fit the new TF mythos. There's enough "Revenge of the Fallen" in the Decepticons combing back for round two. I'm leaning toward this...

Re: "One More Day": Something occurs to me...

The plot for OMD doesn't make sense, because OMD isn't a real and honest attempt to tell a story. It was just Joe Q pushing his agenda to make Peter single again, and May and Mephisto were just plot devices. It still boggles my mind that Queseda thought that restructuring the entire Marvel Universe...

So are we to assume that Guy Gardner is a moron? His ring should allow him to telekinetic lift objects but he never tied it on Doomsday. So either it doesnt work, or Guy got himself whacked before he thought to try it. Beyond that I cannot of anyone lse that fought Doomsday the first time around th...

You can blame the son character for Rachel Weisz not signing on for the movie. She felt she didn't look old enough to credibly play the mother of a college-age boy, and she was right. Brendan Fraiser looks like he's the same age as the son in a lot of scenes and it bugged the hell out of me. The fil...
