"No one had a problem with Bruce having been in seclusion for 10 years at the start of the movie."

I thought it was a pretty solid album, certainly better than the overrated Yeezus which seemed to score points with critics for being "different" when it wasn't nearly as deep or experimental as they tried to make it out to be. Theres also nothing on this album as god awful as the worst tracks off the Blueprint 3 like…

Zod and his team showed up at his house when no one else is around and then they proceeded to fight all around Smallville likely destroying several houses and buildings along the way. I don't think that was all that suspicious. The Kents seemed to live away from everyone else as it is.

Superman is trained to let people die rather than risk exposure, but we see him breaking this rule as early as his childhoood.  The one time he actually follows this rule is in the case of his father who would rather die than allow his son to be exposed. For an origin story we don't necessarily need to start with our…

I don't see what the big deal is. Superman has killed Doomsday and a few others in the comics before. Its not really correct to say this Superman kills since that sort of implies that hes ok with doing it. Like in other versions he avoids it as much as he can and is very distraught when hes pushed to that point. He…

I didn't really see this movie as being dark at all, I feel like people use that word on any superhero movie that really dares to take itself seriously. And Superman's brooding was mostly him finding his place, he wasn't any sort of antihero at all and had most of his usual qualities.

The military never went to Superman's house, all they know is that he is from Kansas. Zod and his goons know who Superman is, but they're all dead and Lois definitely recognized Clark in the final scene. "Welcome to the planet" (wink, wink).

I'm getting that impression as well. Theres a lot of people saying with a sort of negative tone, that this movie doesn't have the traditional elements of the Superman mythos that they're expecting to see and you can tell its coloring a lot of their criticisms about the film.

*I just rewatched an episode of season 2 where Lord Bolton refers to the Greyjoys as "treasonous whores". Oh Bolton.

I think all the bastards that are born in the north are named snow.

I don't agree that Robb was simply trying to avenge his father. He told the Lannisters at the start of season 2 that if they would return his sisters and acknowledge the North as a free and independent kingdom then he would call a truce. I think he realizes that his people will never be safe under Lannister rule, so…

If it weren't for the internet, it never would have occurred to me that Bob was anything other than a guy who really wanted to climb the ladder. My prediction was that he was going to discover Don's secret identity and threaten to use it against him somehow similar to what Pete did in season one, but people seem to…

I think Robb had a huge burden put on him and though he was outnumbered and everyone underestimated him, he performed very admirably. Yet the one time he gave in to his personal desires and didn't do his duty, it cost his family everything.

The death of Robb's wolf got to me just as much as Robb and Cat's death did, especially with the way it looked as though Arya was going to free him just before hes slaughtered. He had been such a symbol of Robb's power as "The Young Wolf" and in the end hes not even in a position to fight back.

The great thing about the Blackwater battle was that the audience had reason to root for both sides. You were rooting for Tyrion, but you also wanted Stannis to serve Joffery his just deserts.

Book 3 is the longest and has a lot of major events so it was split into two. 4 and 5 take place concurrently, but focus on different sets of characters so they'll probably combine those books and condense a lot of the story lines in them. One of the show runners said they may only do the "broad strokes" of the story…

I'm asking why Young Spock would bother calling Old Spock about Khan in the first place. In this universe the federation only found Khan because of their actions in response to what Nero did. In the original timeline, the Enterprise just happens to come across Khan and his crew. So why would Young Spock in the middle…

The Sopranos continued to get huge ratings, but according to David Chase, it was actually HBO who encouraged him to start wrapping it up. Of course they had previously encouraged him to go past his original vision of only 3 seasons, but point is HBO is a lot better than Showtime about not dragging things out to the…

I think sex scenes certainly can be gratuitous, but I'm not against them as a hardline rule. The sex scenes between two characters in season 1 of GOT serve a clear function in showing the developing relationship between those two characters and how they both grow from it. Sex scenes can serve other functions as well.

I think it took Kirk dying for Spock to truly appreciate what his friendship meant to him. When Kirk asked him earlier if he knew why he saved him, he didn't have an answer, but by the time Kirk died he understood. So whereas Spock's death in Wrath of Khan was two friends saying goodbye, Kirks death in this movie…
