You certainly aren't the first to suggest that the action in the Hobbits resembles Assasins Creed.

He cynically got the labor laws in New Zealand changed to prevent unionization of his crew. It is about the money.

Absolutely. Its the pointless elongation of scenes (usually via the patented slow oh so serious meaningful dwarves standing up in sequence) that is most annoying. Three good, tight, exciting movies I could appreciate.

Well yeah, especially because of the story of Lucas' visit to WETA and their undertsanding (at the time) that total CGI is a mistake: http://popwatch.ew.com/2005…

I found Ultron to be oddly way more disturbing than in the original clip.

Totally agree. The two Pearl Jam concerts I have been to would definitely be some of the best musical events I have seen for reasons well covered here - and definitely low down the list in terms of best "shows" I have seen.

"Cardigan"

I imagine U2 would kill for them now as well. Or you know, "sell their soul" to Apple.

Dude it sold like, 8 million copies.

Absolutely. I saw Cripple of an Innishman on Broadway and people were laughing at absolutely everything, and laughing too much. I mean, it's pretty funny but not every line. Also, they applauded when Daniel Radcliffe came on stage. That's stupid.

Back in the days when "bombing" meant being number one in 28 countries and selling more than 8 million CDs…

It's a nice scene I agree, but I don't think it was essential.  The line he says to his mother "There was nothing there for me but death" or whatever it is captures what happened and how he felt nicely enough.

Well, I disagree entirely.  And as I don't fit your rather florid and insulting description, I can only think of one way to resolve this conflict.  Sir, I challenge you to a duel!

There's not much better than Monty Python - but frankly I would rather you were heading into Season six next week…

OK I see, so, out of the $120 mil on Supe returns the studio got 60, split between various production companies and DC.  I guess maybe it starts to get to small money from their perspective - but it is still money!

Literate American people I assume.  As a dirty foreigner I speak what you might call "the Queens English" (although without the upper class accent I hasten to add).  Over here we usually pronounce the 'h', presumably because of centuries-old distrust of the French.

"By comparison, Superman Returns scored 72% on Metacritic and 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, but an homage to Richard Donner’s Superman films didn’t fly with a public that had become accustomed to more down-to-earth heroes like Spider-Man, the X-Men, and a newly reimagined Batman."

I regret to say that I kind of preferred RDA on Stargate.  Sorry….

As a sometime Swiss resident, my conclusion has been that Swiss neutrality is based in their deep-seated sense of superiority over all other countries.  It would be beneath them to get involved.
