Fair point.

He is fine, but heavy handed and does not trust the audience at all.

This guy got to be lead economist at Bear Stearns with no relevant degree?

Seconded.

Yeah, I ignore Zacks answer because the film doesnt support that, in my view - I thought the relationship with his parents was actually well done - he revered life and hated death already, as evidenced by his *not* killing the bullies at school, and sparing the drunk years later and just trashing his truck in…

I can see that, but given Zod was an even match for supes, and the clear level of effort supes was expending AND the fact that he had never fought anything remotely This powerful ever, a neck snap would be an understandable reaction, IMHO. I think the above objection - about disregard for civilians leading up - is…

I absolutely agree - a focus on getting Zod and his crew away from civilians, rescuing them, would have bought the moment better, and when I saw WW, that was the immediate comparison I made.

Ok, the one criticism of MoS I do not get is the one where he snaps the neck of a superpowered alien actively trying to murder a bunch of cowering humans in the course of a very evenly matched fight. What else was he supposed to do?

Actually, yes.

In this specific case, there was no mass surveillance, and there was a chain of specific damage to multiple individuals by one person with a very specific MO. Are we really supposed to dump all over this with ‘slippery slope’ logic and claim the FBI and Facebook should have just let things continue, because perish the…

And, it is still available on dvd, etc.

The text of the link on its own conjures up a much more compelling story than what it actually links to, which is depressingly mundane.

Roblox has been my kids go-to for 4 months now, and they never tire of it, or of showing us the cool stuff people make in it. Like much user-made content, quality varies widely, but there are some really cool things there, and the admins have made it really hard for people to try and extract personal information from…

Yah, the only thing that kept Thor/Loki off my list is their films vary wildly in tone and I dont see a really consistent, Coherent arc. Loki goes from bad to kinda good to bad to kinda good to dead, and Thor has very little to do growth wise after the first Thor movie, which I Liked a lot.

I will give them credit for one of the best scenes in Civil War - the fight with Spider-man.

When I read they cast ‘Amy Pond’ from Dr. Who in the first Guardians flick, I was sold.

Agree. At $2,500-$3,000 all good. With impending (probable) maintenance coming up, not so much.

“But you only get textbooks in school, and who reads books outside of school? I mean really, who actually cares about school anyway? Hell, I dropped out my junior year to work at the Jiffy-Lube and never missed a thing!”

Dammit, fine...

‘God Gave Rock and Roll To You’ is the only good song KISS ever recorded.
