Do you not recall the orb that was required to complete the spell? The others of which were extremely hard to come by? The orb that was shattered when the spell was completed? They couldn't just recast the spell over and over, because they were missing the main reagent.

this isn't the coolest but it has the coolest evolution, and explaining that there's a giant A on his helmet because he haphazardly grabbed the A helmet of the dancing girls that spell out USA is fucking awesome as shit.

This is personal preference, but The Dark Knight/The Dark Knight Rises Batsuit is everything I'd want out of a crime fighting outfit. The perfect blend of tactical utility and theatrical deception.

Uniforms just get in the way

Considering his "uniform" is pretty much what makes him a superhero...

Crouching at the end of the bed is what did me in.

Gives me an opportunity to post this:

I love you, Arrow, but:

Robin

Oh, don't get angry. At least consider the possibility that they just couldn't decide which is which, after a initial check on the web.

Wait a minute. I thought this team was made of hipster Han Solo, raccoon Han Solo, and three versions of the Hulk.

Images from Russia and the ex Soviet countries/regions always depress me. Having grown up (and still living) in a country that was under communist rule for a few decades (and a city full of typical communist blocks of flats, might I add), when I see photos like this it's like looking at all the worst parts of my home,…

I was thinking that too. I live in Vancouver, BC which is a pretty nice place to live, but the architecture here is fucking boring green glass buildings. I noticed that a few people are ragging on the soviet block housing, but at least it is colorful. I'd take them, with their bright colored paint jobs, over the…

Well, it's colorful.

It looks like it's made out of Lego bricks. Feel really sorry for the people that have to live and work there, though.

Holy crap I totally forgot about Atomic Twister

My mom got me to read a lot of Ann Rice of all things as a teenager, and one summer while I was going to live in a private fancy walled off garden apartment off the corner of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter she gave me the Mayfair Witches first book to read along the way and while I was there. I'd read some of…

I was a very little kid when I first saw "Close Encounters". It left a pretty huge impression, and I'd always wanted to visit Devil's Tower because of it. I finally got there in 1999. Incredible experience (despite the lack of aliens).

Living in Southern California means that I'm surrounded by famous filming locations, but only recently have I visited the Vasquez Rocks, which has been in every Star Trek franchise, even the new ones.

I signed up to be a model for a photography class, just because the shoot was in this building. Hint: Blade Runner.
