Yes, yes, yes! Earth's Mightiest Heroes is the best thing ever. It was really my bridge between the movies and the comics as well. I loved it and it's available on Netflix Streaming. It really is a good introduction into a lot of comic storylines and it has a lot of comics characters that show up at some point. I was…

Chris Pratt is the biggest reason I'm interested in GotG. I'm not super into the cosmic side of the Marvel comics but for Chris Pratt, I will make an exception. (Everwood! So many memories!)
Exactly. My friend laughed because I basically nailed ever "twist" in this episode before it happened because as soon as I heard his name, I recognized Bram. If they bothered to introduce him, I figured he had to be the Horseman because, duh.
Hey, a fellow religion scholar! When I was working on my master's in Religious Studies, my focus was modern American religion and my concentration was on new religious movements (like neopaganism) and American intrepretations of non-Western religions. I had a theoretical focus rooted in post-modern analysis of…
Yeah, I didn't want to say anything in particular, if you haven't the seen the episode. :)
Did you watch last night's episode?
As someone who watched both Smallville and now Arrow, I'm going to say honestly that Arrow is superior on just about all counts. Arrow does have its melodrama, but it evens out mid-S1 and stays in a decent balance to the actual plot things.
Oh, yes, she is amazing. I've seen her in concert 4 times since the late 90s and she definitely has a great stage prescence. But apparently she feels uncomfortable trying to "act," as opposed to just emoting when she sings. And, yes, if it was back in the 70s, she was probably high, LOL. She's very open about all the…
It doesn't surprise me that Stevie Nicks will be playing herself. In the commentary track for her music videos on Crystal Visions, she talks a lot about how she cannot act to save her life. It's why her videos rarely even call for her to act in any way because she feels that she's terrible at it.
I remember Last Man on Planet Earth! I totally watched that. And it had a 'oh noes!' ending.
Is neither an option? Although what can I say about Beowulf, really, considering I watched two seasons of BBC's Merlin? They sound like they could be similar. Actually, I need to just shut up because I also watched Charmed and The Ghost Whisperer, so I'm sure the Ghost one will fall somewhere along those lines. I'm…
He really is! I'm so glad I'm not alone. When my friend recommended Hickman's F4 to me, I couldn't believe I was supposed to like this arrogant jackass who blithely lied to his wife, put his family in danger and didn't think running off to join an inter-dimensional council made up of his alternate selves something he…
If you consider knowing that a candy I like is sold at the movie theater 'sociopathic' and 'going to great lengths,' I wonder what at you'd call actual sociopathic behavior. However, you're right, no one would probably get kicked out for just eating a goddamn banana, but she also pulled out a goddamn LED mini…
Yes, I know. I was actually agreeing with you and while venting a little about how much 300 annoys me. Sorry I wasn't clearer.
Um, no, you misread me. I defined appropriate things as things that don't make it readily apparent that you snuck it in, aka that are available at the concession stand. They sell raisinets at my movie theater concession stand, so if I sneak some in, it is not readily apparent that I do so. If I bring in a bottle of…
I'm not sure what they sell in movie theaters that you attend, but they do not sell fruit of any variety at our theater. Therefore, a banana peel is decidedly out of place. And for purposes of this discussion, appropriate movie food is food that they sell via the concession stand at the theater. You know, things that…
I keep trying to write a coherent comment but I just keep coming back to how much I hate Reed Richards and losing my ability to type out anything but rants on that topic, lol.
My NaNoWriMo meeting got moved from Tuesday to Wednesday due to weather, so I had to miss it but I will definitely catch up tonight!
Even though I am not-Christian (although raised in an evangelical Christian tradition), I have an absurd fondness for swords-and-sandals movies based on the Old Testament. Samson and Delilah, David and Bathsheba, the 10 Commandments, the Story of Ruth? LOVE THEM. I couldn't help but notice, though, how white and…
Well at least the flood story is a common mythological motif shared between many of the cultures of the ancient Near East, as opposed to actual, real-life history.
