I've never heard a bad thing about The 25th Hour. I've never seen it, but I've never heard bad things about it.

Spike Lee AND ancient Greek satire? Okay, I'm in!

"I am here to fulfill Ra's Al Ghul's happy meal!"

This is what you've done with your life, Internet.

Was he really shot in the shoulder? I thought I saw a bullet hole in his head…

What really broke me here was Elias' last breaths being used to tell Fusco to get down and protect himself. Yeah, he's a crime boss and responsible for who knows how many deaths, but in the end he does care enough about people to try and protect one, in some way.

I think they may have accidentally stumbled onto at least one or two interesting insights. With the clip-art, the "Star Destroyer in the sand" shot looks less like Star Wars and more like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, that giant tanker in the desert. You can see the subliminal dominance of Spielberg in Abrams'…

Let's be fair— the whole damn movie is just awful.

I don't want them to overproduce either, but I don't think 10 or so is a bad number to shoot for. I mean, with only six, they all have to be story episodes. Either that or we're gona have two story episodes, and 4 crappy monsters of the week.

I think the first episode is strong as hell.

hm, why only six episodes? if you have them on, why not beef it up a bit.

Firefly and Serenity are probably his strongest efforts, I'll admit. That was a show that didn't get a fair shake, no way to avoid that. Serenity's even got some not that bad visual direction (which makes the TV movie look of Avengers even more infuriating). Shame he didn't shop that show to Sci-Fi or something…

Actually, yeah. I remember being hounded by Buffy fans to check out that show, and just thinking that it was kinda not that good. Terribly overwritten dialogue without any kind of character balance— really, all those zingers sound like they could come from anybody. No visual aplomb to speak of (this is when I was…

I never thought he was that good, to begin with.

Why didn't this ever get a second season?

He's not writing and penciling here? Hm. I mean, not that I'm that much of a Miller fan anymore, but hey. If you're gonna do it, why not go full crazy.

Person of Interest is also pretty good. Scratch that, very good.

I wonder does the story mode include, or address, why good guys have to fight other good guys to the death? That's something that always interested me as a kid. It's one thing for guys like Sub Zero or Scorpion to kill anyone they fight. But aren't Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade supposed to be on the same side? And…

I was disappointed by the ending, myself. Nevermind all the existential religious conflicts. Really all this amounts to is a hill of beans between two guys and a girl. The quest to kill God? Who cares, right?

Accounting for that. Still.
