Dishonored is one of the best games I've played. It's a worthy heir to the Thief franchise and actually hurt the new Thief game by comparison. I read a plot summary of the sequel somewhere but I don't know if it's real. It took place years later and dealt with the master assassin the hero was hunting in the first…

The character wasn't written to be anything but a dangerous super-villain. I think he gave him a little extra something in places, like where he tells off Thanos. But sure, the film could have added more dimension to the villains. Considering how well they did with the main characters, though, it's almost moot. Most…

Good times. :)

Lee Pace is good at playing grand characters (Thranduil in The Hobbit movies), but he is also good at subtle stuff. The look he gives Star Lord at he end of the movie was perfect.

Minor Spoiler:

It wasn't so =much Lynch's fault (though he was new to directing then) as the fact his allegedly six hour film was cut down so much they got rid of a lot that explained things. Personally, I love the score by Toto (John William's son was part of the band) and the way Madsen delivers it. But if you think that's bad,…

You left out James Bond (Sean Connery) who gets trained by Ninjas in You Only Live Twice and gets made up to "pass" (lol) for a Japanese fisherman.

What I said was Mexico is an invention of Europeans which you pretty much agreed to without agreeing. The colony of new Spain was created by Spainiards. Mexico was formed with that colony declared it's independence but the land it claims as its own was taken by imperialists. We can quibble about the wording but that's…

And the colony was formed by Spaniards (Europeans) as I said. Look at the map in the link I put. It shows Southern Mexico. The Mayans were in the Yucatan Peninsula.

I wasn't saying you were saying they had a higher moral ground, just making a comment because a lot of people do that. Sorry about that.

Let's see AGW = evil, GMO = evil. altering the genes of predators and destroying their drive to hunt (they're meat eaters with digestive systems not adapted to plants) thus very possibly killing off whole species on some handful of people's pet theory = Good? Human beings are the most vain and hubris driven species…

So what do you call annexing people's lands? Friendly take over? The natives wouldn't agree. Mexico doesn't have any higher moral standing than the US. The government were still killing native people into the 1980s. Most political boundaries are the invention of a handful of elites backed up by armies.

Mexico was an imperialistic country. It seized those lands from Native Americans the same way American's did, and not that long before 1846. Before the Europeans created the country of Mexico, it was basically centered around the Michoacan or so called Aztec Empire which was in southern Mexico and parts of Guatemala. …

I have always said digital was where comics were going. In an issue of Strikeforce Morituri I wrote for Marvel in the 1980s I had someone reading comics on a tablet computer. I love print comics but unlike a lot of people of my generation, I never expected them to last because printing is too expensive, comics take up…

I got a copy from Abercrombie himself at SDCC. Will be reading it this week. Very excited. He's one of the best living fantasy writers right now.

As a longtime comics pro, I sometimes get annoyed how Hollywood has made the con too expensive for a lot of fans and they buy up all the hotel rooms before anyone else can. But at the same time, a lot of people are checking out comics that are outside of the old fan boy demographic. Hollywood has a big hand in that. …

As a hardcore Tolkien fan from the age of 13, I am disappointed with the Hobbit films in some ways (and the LOTR in other ways) but I respect the love and care put into them by people who are obvious fans of the books. I don't like the excesses and the changes and the padding, but I can't deny the actors are doing…

Hercules constantly gets poor treatment by Hollywood. What did he ever do to them?
