I agree. Its also a bit of a pet peeve of mine to have made up countries. Its not like it would be hard for Doom to be, say, a Hapsburg with his eyes on a New Unholy Roman Empire, or some such. I know we're globalizing and trying not to offend anyone, but you can tell a story without that stuff.

Part of my problem with the movie was my trailer expectations. I thought Captain America would spend more time with Cap as a WWII war hero, and less time with him as part of USO show. I figured he'd be a little more like Captain Winters from Band of Brothers.

Wow. He is a man of many hats, or suits, whatever. I agree… you can't strip him of everything (like the first FF movie), but it wouldn't be a bad idea to scale him down a little at first. Otherwise, you're throwing in a random country, super science, *magic*, and the origin of the Fantastic Four at the same time.…

Its really a tough act to go full Superman. Christopher Reeves nailed it, but most people land somewhere in the creepy side of boyscout.

He'd make sure all of her lower back tattoos were very accurate.

I dunno. The dictator of Doesntexistia that is also a superscientist in a metal suit seems like a concept that begs to be simplified and altered in some way. Remember how the Burton Batman move had to load their Joker with artis, chemical engineering, crime lord. It worked at the time, but that movie seems a bit…

I enjoyed her crazy bullshit in American Horror Story and Nip/Tuck. When I heard her name I was hoping she was Reed Richards' knocked up student.

I've been reading A Distant Mirror by Tuchman, about the 14th century, and its just kind of amazing just how similar and yet alien people in the past could be. You have to wonder how many of the great figures of those days were basically abused survivors, child soldiers, completely uneducated, or religious nuts. …

And if you really want to be chilled, read some of Richard Rhodes books. At various points the British made lists of the cities in Germany they were going to nuke first, as did American airforce generals with the cities in the USSR.

Well, with the caveat that when he replaced George IV, he wouldn't have lived terribly long, since that guy drank himself to death with great speed.

You have to imagine that those guys must hate *all* of Blackadder, since it takes even great historical figures like Queen Elizabeth I and makes her out as an amoral psychopath. And, honestly, I like that. Too often we're so history is so busy trying to build up the 'greats' that the neglect to reflect that, hey,…

Melchett is the dark side of honor. A lot of people say they'd rather have honor than life, but then it takes a life of its own, and suddenly you have people over top of you that not only believe it, but strictly enforce it. Melchett is no less evil than the old men in India that force parents to murder their…

Even Stalin had a treasured daughter. You don't have to be completely without love to be a monster.

Oban 14 is really great. Sadly they only make that and a distillers edition that is beyond poor North Carolina's ability to stock.

I enjoyed them. They're a little controversial in christian circles (maybe?) simply because there isn't much overtly supernatural about Jesus, which is what I like about them.

No clue, but its a movie, so why not? Hell, you could just make a guy (or a lady) named Ragnarok. Its not like DC didn't do just that.

Since Judas is often represented as a ginger, why not cast Alan Tudyk.

Come on God, I'm just asking questions!

I think we have the title for Thor 3

I'm sure there are ton of Bollywood movies about it. Just like how there is a Chinese Monkey King movie that just came out.
