Well, um, good for you? Not everybody is you, though. Some people do care where it takes place.

Disagree. They do matter to folks who don't altogether like cutesy arty intimate wacko indie stories and want a massive galaxy-spanning narrative trope. It helps to have a general idea what you're getting.

Your premise of things blowing up for two hours is simply flat wrong, so I'm not sure where you go from there. Iron Man had tons of development, Rogers becomes a leader, in fact there was character study all over the place. Just because you ignored it does not mean it didn't happen.

I guess I didn't realize it wasn't worse damage. But.... with the pool cues, I still would have thought it was more.

I think the idea that it would take these portraits to show apes as individuals this sells a great percentage of the population short. Anyone at all with domesticated animals doesn't need reminding of the individual traits of individuals mammals.

"The damage totals $500 and the alleged vandalism is still under investigation."

He's run the gamut in the comics, from mindless berserker to clear-headed hero and all points in between. Even in mindless rage mode, there was often the conception that he had control over doing actual evil for a number of years. My take is that this Hulk was a bit more conscious than normal of being mindless, but…

The reasons the entire comic-book industry was born, continues, and exists is for making the heroes look cool.

Yes, Nolan fans are different! Of course! ;-)

I'm seriously starting to feel about Nolan and his fanboys the way haters feel about Whedon and HIS fanboys. Nolan is a very good director. He's not Kurosawa.

Oh please.

Just saw it. Been reading comics for almost 40 years, and they fucking nailed it. Well done.

Hey, it's the teleporting whatshisname from Sanctuary!

More indifferent, but it doesn't matter to my point. After that, while being Spider-Man (as opposed to a wrestler) he was not a dick.

My point is not that this stuff shouldn't affect him, simply that it's a fundamental change in his established motivation and character that I find utterly unattractive.

"Everything in this movie — the first domino, is Peter getting left behind by his parents. I thought to myself, 'What does that do to somebody? How does that change your view of the world?' To me, that creates a little bit of a level of distrust. It's a brutal thing to have happen to you. That's, to me, where he gets…

"Linda Hogan, 52, says her boyfriend Charlie Hill, 23, is "an old soul." Ugh, can't she just say that she loves fucking on younger guys? Which is totally fine and legitimate, too."

This makes no sense at all.

Is the MYSTERIOUS PARENTS WOOOOO MYSTERIOUS from Ultimate Spider-Man? As well as his not seeming to care much about his secret identity? I haven't really read them.

I was just thinking this. I can't figure out why either.
