They wisely jettisoned so much of the baggage that weighed down the first season - the hawk people, Rip as anti-hero captain, Vandal Savage - and instead retooled existing villains we already loved to hate, added interesting new characters, and put Caity Lotz right where she belongs (front and center). It worked like…

Now I'm sad we'll never get a Gene Wilder guest spot. Not that he was doing any acting for a long time even before he passed or, even if he were, he'd have agreed to do it, but he'd have been perfect for that show.

Yeah, it's amazing. Out of nowhere, Arrow is far and away the best CW-comics show again. The two episodes just before the "April break" and the two since it came back have been gripping television. After last season's mess, the writers really got back to the heart of what makes that show tick (hint: it's not…

Man is this 13 episode season kinda stressing me out.

Yeah, the cancellation bear (who I otherwise trust) has been pretty confident about The Originals getting another season, but with TVD staked and its ratings not being "great," it seems like such a long shot.

They could've advertised Jai Courtney's involvement!

I could never understand why people love Garrus so much, either. Go calibrate somewhere else, asshole!

Well, right, sure. I meant none of us knew that console FPS controls could be any better.

Also, none of us knew any better.

Do you like space iguanas, space frogs, space humanoid dinosaurs covered in bony plates, or blue space idealized hyper- and bi-sexual geek girls? Let's find out!

And simultaneously ruined the dreams of proto-pcmasterrace-ers who had been following its development for years.

Goldeneye would like a moment of your time.

I am not putting spoiler tags on a discussion of a thirty-five year old book.

Which is basically half the fun of these movies. Gunn's (or whoever else is in charge of that) knack for picking exactly the right song for the moment is pretty impressive.One of my good friends is named Brandy, and we have frequently discussed the consequences of being named Brandy as relates to the song. She's also…

I like that MMO developers have figured out how to frankentstein 10 year old engines into resource-consuming monstrosities that can still tax even brand new systems.

It was so perfectly absurd and so wonderful all at the same time, and much better than the corresponding Kevin Bacon reference in the first one.

It's like James Gunn watched Mallrats a lot and really took that conversation between Brody and Stan Lee to heart.

He's trying to find a place to live, not writing to Penthouse Forum.

I was listening to a podcast over the weekend which suggested that might be pure set-up for Guardians 3 (along with the Adam Warlock stinger), which I would be ok with, too? But I can't really overstate how much I would love a stand alone. Stallone was absolutely perfect.

What are you video gamin' these days? We already covered the drinkin' in the other thread and the last goes without saying.
