Avengers 2 did a good job at concentrating on character moments amongst the destruction, though—something that Man of Steel failed to do (do well, anyway).

Greengrass popularized the shaky-cam technique with the Bourne movies, inadvertently creating the most irritating trend in action movies for the next decade. What people forget, though, or don't appreciate, is that Greengrass always set the scene first. He gave us a strong sense of place, so that when the action

I keep watching the trailer just to hear the awesome/vaguely creepy Alfred speech.
I can only hope that Jeremy Irons narrates the entire movie. Because the oldest lie in America is that angels' voices come from angels—they don't. They come from Jeremy Irons' mouth.

I can't say enough good things about Iwata Asks, which were just about my favorite game-y things to read. Until these interviews started there were very few in-depth interviews about the development of their games outside of Nintendo Power previews and stuff, all of which are pretty shallow. I've tried doing research

You just described my exact experience. The GC was the most purely creative Nintendo era, IMO, and without it my artistic sensibilities would be completely different. Like, seriously…not only were games like Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker and Metroid Prime hugely important to me creatively, they got me through the

The only good thing that could possibly come from this would be people looking back on Wii Music and realizing that it was fun as hell.
Because it is.

The man was instrumental in coding and debugging Super Smash Bros. Melee.
We are all forever indebted.

Unintentionally turning Pa Kent into an asshole was my biggest problem with MoS. Without his death having any impact the whole emotional thrust of the film just wasn't there.

It's pretty weird. This is the only website I've seen where the consensus is that this entire movie is an attempt to backpedal the destruction at the end of MoS. That's pretty crazy to me. The whole reason Clark Kent's dad didn't want the world to know about his powers was because he knew it would fundamentally change

Yeah, fuck that! Captain America: Winter Soldier should have been called Captain America and Black Widow!

Pretty fucking awesome. It's hard to imagine that the final product won't be something of a mess, but for now, I'm excited.
Except for that line about how the oldest lie in the history of America is that Devils come from underground. What the butt does that even mean?

I always assumed the sequel would deal with the destruction, and it's baffling to me that people see this movie as back-peddling. Fuck that attitude, man. If they wouldn't have addressed it people would have been mad. Now they ARE addressing it and the filmmakers are hacks for "back peddling?"

Surprisingly good trailer. I would echo the sentiment that it doesn't seem as goofy and fun as it should be—the whole premise of the movie feels like Guardians of the Galaxy With Bad Guys. But I actually really like the visual style they've got here; for better or worse (it's worse) Leto's Joker really does fit in to

I maintain that John Gabrus as Gino would have been the best sidekick for the show. He's one of the quickest improvisers out there, and his report with Scott is incredible.

To each his own.
But your own sucks.

Misread that as "pretty fat chick."
Both make sense.

Specifically, he makes people who are too young to remember the Postal Service.

A lot of people hate it on principal, but its prequel "Go Set a Minuteman" is actually pretty great.

Rewatching the show now. I'm really enjoying Season 2, but man…Fire + Water just is not good. And it sets off what is far and away my least favorite arc on the show (Evil Charlie. Ugh).
I like Jack's flashback, actually, but boy do they EVER beat the 'Jack Needs to Fix Stuff' thing over the head. The divorce scene has

I started my rewatch and I'm midway through season 2. I'll probably have caught up to you guys by next week because…damn this show is good. My memory of Season 2 is that much of it is rendered pointless in hindsight given how little the tailies have to do with the show in later seasons (aside from Bernard, who's a
