What what whaaaaat? How cool is that?? Oh man. That could be nuts.
god DAMN if Jensen Ackles isn't PERFECT for Jason Todd
He really was. I was worried there'd be Winchester carryover, but no. And NPH was on fire. There should have been more Nightwing.
I really liked it. Enough maybe to give it another watch before it rolls off my iTunes rental. However that works. I didn't realise it wasn't going to be available on Netflix until late August, and I have the stupid Apple TV anyway, so I might as well take advantage of the setup.
Funniest comment I've seen on Red Hood so far:
The real standout was Ackles - he's becoming the go-to guy for characters with severe daddy issues caused by emotionally witholding and mission obsessed father figures.
This month's Marvel calendar match-up:
THING
vs.
THOR
Fight!
Oh, pshaw, it's well established that Thor can kick Thing's ass.
Thor v. Hulk, now...
THING vs. THOR
Jack Kirby, a working-class Jew from the Lower East Side, had his greatest successes in comics drawing blond, blue-eyed gentiles like Captain America and Thor. His most autobiographical creation was the golem-like Thing, who was constantly thwarted trying to find a cure for his grotesque appearance.
Eh, Ben could wipe the floor with Thor in a game of poker or a practical joke war. And really, aren't those the important arenas of competition?
Two Lumps takes on Scott Pilgrim: [link]
I finished the last book of Scott Pilgrim last night. I really liked the series, and am waiting impatiently for the movie.
I agree with P-C that book 5 is pretty depressing, but in context I like it, and I really liked the Kim Pine bits.
