It's heresy, I'm sure, but I found the first three movies absolute agony to sit through in a theater.

I've known 3 Altheas in my life, and they were all elderly African-American women (I worked in a nursing home in SC from 16 to 20). That's my mental connection to the name. Althea Gibson never occurred to me, but at the same time, it re-enforces my association. So I don't really care if you're not forgiving. I

It's 27% fresh with top critics on RT. I had high hopes for this, but I've lost faith. "Skyfall" in 16 days!

Sort of disappointed, since "Althea Ray" (forgive me stereotyping on the basis of the name!) was probably intended to be African-American, and honestly, we don't get enough African-American women in the Whedonverse. Please don't name the exceptions to prove me wrong: Kendra the Vampire Slayer and Zoe Washburne.

Thank you. Y'all are kind of mean over here.

And then whites figuratively enslaved blacks by limiting their opportunities and denying their

At least if you're going to make a joke, make a new joke.

I tried it myself. Basically doing what I did on those magic eye posters until I resolved my blurring into one central 3D pic. Awesome!

It's always sexual aggression first, block bodice second, supervillainy third. Even outside of comics, the only non-sexual "supervillain" I can think of is perhaps

Spoiler spoiler, in case I ruin season 1 for anyone, but:

How boring would that be though, to watch 8 people cross the tape simultaneously and then have the official times be 10,000ths of a second apart.

Ah dogs! Nature's vacuums.

I was just looking to see if anyone had said the same, but I also just caught it on DVD, and it's actually... fun. It's breezy, quick, nice effects, cheesy jokes that don't all land, but it's FUN. Rihanna isn't annoying. Taylor Kitsch is charmingly roguish. Liam Neeson is sadly barely in it. But I was sort of

Yah I'm all boob. And dense dense boob at that. I've never weighed them, but I have blacked eyes. And no matter how "tight" I try to keep it, my BMI says I'm overweight.

Good eye! It is the same place. Compare the woodwork underneath those windows:
