<raises hand> Excuse me, a, a whut?

Yeah I’m not sure Planet Hulk could make a good movie, but I’d love to be proven wrong there. But wait, Marvel can’t make a stand alone Hulk movie because Uni own the rights? I had no idea. If it’s the same deal as the other ones (Spidey, FF, X-men, etc) then the rights revert back to Marvel/Disney when they don’t

Agreed. He should take a crack at screenwriting a Hulk movie.

Damnit, now I’m singin the song

My ones:

And the bit where he gets pushed into the pool with the pool cover wrapping around him, dragging him down... ugh, that bit gives me the heebie jeebies.

I screened the series for my 9 year old during the last winter holidays. I LOVED watching her reactions when each of the plot points that was laid out in the first 10 minutes of the movie paid off by the end. She’d jump up, sharp intake of breath, and point and the screen. Then she’d look at me knowingly, go “ahhhh!”

The whole bumping into Spock on a deserted planet and then reinventing beaming to become trans-warp beaming, all for the sake of magical plot advancement just really ticked me off.

This ties in really nicely at the end of the movie when he actually is teaching the “Mark Watney syllabus”.

Yeah, and my cynical, legalistic side says “maybe she has it in her contract that she appears in every episode?”

Both spots have referenced the time before showing the footage. Is this just to set the scene or does time have some important factor on the show? It’s shown in that weird psychadelic tie-dye format, it’s gotta be more important than scene setting.

Well, it may have always been thus, but it’s never been thus as bad. 2011 holds the world record for sequels, remakes and spinoffs (can’t find the article that named them all, but a good piece is here.

and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Fury Road was filmed in Namibia.

Yeah, I don’t know exactly how much Audi paid to be in Age of Ultron, but man they got their money’s worth.

I totally think the choreographer was channeling the The Raid with a lot of these fight scenes.

Yeah, and I think subtle is a key word for the whole show. The acting is subtle, from both bad guys and good guys. The effects are subtle. The superpowers are subtle. Amazing show.

2nd vote for Salsa Invertebraxa, just an amazing book.

Dude, less posting on io9, more Tremours lego building please.

It grows the local film industry here. The govt gives companies like WB and Disney tax incentives for filming in Australia, on the condition they hire a % of local workers and talent.
