GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Was produced by Sony, not Marvel. It was canned prematurely because Marvel regained the rights to the animated character, and we have the shitty Ultimate Spider-Man show as a result.

Right. Sorry, I was thinking Marvel characters, not actual Marvel-produced animation. I knew they axed Spec Spidey because they wanted to produce their own show in-house.

Poor Greg Weisman, I really hope he can break the "curse" and go more than 2 seasons with Star Wars: Rebels.

The DC shorts have been consistently awesome:

I find the shorts rather hit or miss myself, but I think some of it is I'm not into the style of humor they're going for. I agree the good ones are really good, though.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

On another shallow note as I rewatch Snowpiercer: CE has beautiful beard grain, or whatever you call the way facial hair grows on a mans jaw.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So I saw Lucy. Kind of disappointed. Not nearly as much action as the trailers lead you to believe. Tries to be deep, kinda misses.

Saw the Hobbit trailer. Loved that they used the Merry's song from Minas Tirith.

CJ was EXTREMELY excited about this fact. Made me watch the trailer as soon as I finished work and he was literally jumping up and down with excitement. My 18 year old geek boy. Gotta love him.

Epic - sorry to hear that about Lucy. I was very curious about that one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Way to go, Paramount.

Classy.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

If you hate the end of 2001, you will hate the end of Lucy.

That said, it's still nice to see an SF movie that

1. Has a female main character, who moves the plot by her actions,

2. Passes the Bechdel test multiple times, and

3. Has a much more positive view of superhumanity than Transcendence.

Maybe see it at a matinee? I saw it at the $8 theater, so I'm pretty okay with it. But yeah, not nearly so awesome as hoped.

Note to, I think, -t: Every time they say "only using 10% (& etc.) of the brain's capacity," you think think to yourself "at one time", and it's less painful. "Humans only use 10% of the brain's capacity (at one time)."

I did notice that it passed the Bechdel test, though. Kinda surprising with how few women are in it, but they did.
