A hill I will continue to die on is that HTTYD got robbed blind at the Oscars, where it was totally subbed by the score from The Social Network, which is just tones, dark ominous tones (and I love Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, but come on).

Well, the Avengers Initiative did come first. Fury had all his eggs in that basket before the the World Security Council (Hail HYDRA) decided to move to Phase 2. It’s possible Carol is the reason he believed so hard in building the Avengers.

Still my Doctor. Always will be.

You’ve hit on something here that is a core difference between Marvel and DC movies, going back even before the cinematic universe.The movies are supposed to be about the heroes. I’m supposed to be watching Batman. Or Spider-Man. Or Doctor Strange.

This feels like...duh? Wasn’t the Falcon built in like 90 BBY according to the old EU? I thought this was incredibly well-established lore?

I never knew Blade was that big in Japan, but now, thinking back on it, it’s like “Duh...this is the best live action anime ever.”

Against any sort of judgement or reasoning, I’m stupid excited for Pacific Rim. I also cannot see that poster with starting to sing Hamilton to myself.

Dad rock just means any rock music that they don’t play on pop radio. If it’s not Imagine Dragons, it’s dad rock.

Getting ready to croak ‘im some Toad.

Kevin Smith, if you’re out there, please give us more Hooper X. He’s the hero we need in 2018.

Whoa. Hey, Literally Real Life Chloe at 1:57

Naturally I didn’t expect him to Yoda around AotC style. But did I think he would actually trade some blows with Kylo on Crait? Yeah, I thought it might happen. And that’s not unreasonable.

I’m getting very tied of framing this as “If you don’t like TLJ you can’t handle change, you nerd.”

Wow. This is so incredibly correct that I’m even madder at the silly plotting of the movie.

Holy shit, that Folgers commercial. Don’t know how I’ve missed that, but that is the most uncomfortable thing I’ve seen in ages.

I certainly did not like Bella or Svetlana, and I imagine that was a bit by design. They’re both by turns maddening and heroic. I think a lot of the supporting cast was really well likeable, including Parry who would be the scruffy male lead a la Jeffrey Dean Morgan 10 years ago.

I’m rereading Pushing Ice right now. For a fairly small stand alone book it’s so dense with plot. You could spin five ten-episode seasons out of it easily, each one escalating in a huge way.

Remember how fun it was to just swim around as Zora Link in Majora’s Mask?

I saw the first one once in theaters and Queenie is literally one of two substantial things I remember about it. The other is the disappointment that they wasted Colin Farrell and replaced him with Depp.

Berganza did a terrible thing that can’t be defended and firing him was right, although too late?
