Blade also had vampires be a viral infection, while still being a mystical creature probably created by the Blood God.

Bland is about the last thing people ever mention when they talk about this. In fact, most of the talk is about how it set itself apart from typical anime.

Next, this.

How is "Lost Sophia" compared to 24's "Kim and Cougar"?

Oh, right. Haven't watched the movie in a while. He's probably off somewhere. Bane ain't stupid, and Ra's trained him, so I expect he is part of Ra's backup plan in case anything goes wrong. That, or he decides he has his own way of doing thing. But I suspect there really is a long-term plan going on with the villains…

Bane was probably escorting Ra's to a safer place by then, because it did got wrecked good.

Mars is still the setting, but apparently it isn't as interesting as it used to be. At least, not until Curiosity and its fellow probes discover something amazing. The book the movie is based on isn't even called "John Carter of Mars" anyway, nor is Mars even mentioned much in the story.

Actually, I (and several others) think that it appropriately looks like a sci-fi paperback novel cover.

No, that is actually kinda cool. Makes a good nerdy or table ornament.

15, actually, and good lord what is this?

For kids (or adults) with an Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii, there's the Skylanders game/toys.

Time to alter its genes and try to get it to bite me.

The first wave of Transformers Prime figures are also coming out. I think the ones that are already out are Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Starscream (all Deluxe class), Voyager-class Prime, and a Deluxe-class Megatron-Optimus two-pack with 3 figures of the human characters and a DVD of the pilot episode.

Here a funny 'analysis' of Dracula as a horror character.

He didn't get rejected, Stark is only going to be a consultant. Whatever happens in the movie will presumably get Stark back in his armor.

As my friend said, the Conan commentary is equal parts interesting stories, Arnold cracking jokes, and Milius being a creep about all the ladies.

Nah, Skyline is way too unique in its production. The directors were SFX designers who also worked on Battle: LA (in fact I think they used a few assets from that film). The story of Skyline is about an SFX designer being the hero. The aliens were using 'SFX' to hypnotize people so that they can 'shut off the human…

Longbottom: Deadite Slayer! Nice.

Try not to think too much about how comic book characters' powers work. Especially with Superman, a character whose power level have varied greatly throughout his publication history and is prone to writers just making stuff up about him (from giving him the ability to make smaller copies of himself or using his chest…

Come on, Skyfall. Do an homage to Sorcerer as well.
