Maybe my biggest problem with the movie was underlined with your defense of her fainting - that it was just a plot device. Ultimately, that's all I get from her because I just don't buy the love story between the characters as this amazing story to tell. And since the villain was so one dimensional (creepy masks =…

Just because they had her saying some technobabble doesn't mean that she's smart when most of her actions have her acting more like Bella Swan. How many times in Thor 2 did she faint? I think it was at least twice.

Regarding Jane Foster, I don't see any of those attributes (funny, extremely smart, gutsy(?), admirable) that the letter writer says are there except that she's cute.

There ending is full of dread and horror and hope and then overwhelming catharsis.

I turned it off after 15 minutes because I was getting so frustrated with the close ups of door knobs or levers turning just as they were walking around.

After the movie ends and cuts to black, the title comes up with the sound of children's laughter. This is such a joyous, cathartic moment for me that I don't think of Children of Men as having an unhappy ending at all.

I only see vague parallels between Marvel NOW! and the new 52, like the fact that there are new #1s. The direction and execution have been completely different. If there had been more books like Wonder Woman in the new 52 than I'd be more inclined to agree.

Right. Which is why I was answering the duce's question about what "Marvel Now" is since Marvel has moved away from the model you are describing.

Well, Daredevil makes a little sense since they are switching up his status quo in a new city but you're right it can get confusing. In general, though, I think it's less so than the previous model.

When a book gets new creators they relaunch the series as a new #1. Most of the time with a new name, but sometimes not. That's really all there is too it.

I'm not sure they can take the Brett joke any further after that whole magic ricochet.

All I see is such selfish acting these days.

You can't fit that all in a headline. The desktop is dead/dying in the mainstream, which is almost assuredly what is going to happen with the DSLR.

Well, that's one way to end a conversation. It seems just talking to you is frustrating.

It's about the journey, not the destination. I don't care about the canon of the regeneration limit because it doesn't matter - Doctor Who is going to continue one way or the other. I agree there's a good story to tell about overcoming it - but I'd rather Moffat handwave it away and let the next writers deal with it…

I guess I get why some people love to wrap their head's around "canon" (see Adam's long explanation on regeneration above) but I agree with you that being sticklers about it just drives people away. People like to hate on retcons, but I'm all for them if they are brief, fanservicey handwaving since people who don't…

I agree with you on all counts. Having lived in both cities, I don't know why people are so adamant about which is better (I got asked this question all the time in both cities).

Exactly.

I disagree with you completely, primarily because we have seen the video footage of the driver being dragged out of his car and beaten on the ground. I don't think public opinion changes if the ethnicities were any different.

Wait, is the racial element you saying the Asian is a bad driver or that the other people are only calling it a "mob" of bikers because they are non-causcasian?
