Iron Man III... ...

Oh freaking* hell yeah!!...

This was the best of the solo Avengers movies by a long shot...

The only one I really like! Batman, Spiderman, Superman pfh! Iron Man is cool!

Ghost Adventures

Kinda creepy, lol

No its not, and Zak is a douche lol

He is, lol. I'm not talking about ghosts being creepy, I'm talking about the places they go to, lol

GOT makes me want to play Oblivion . . .

If anyone watches the show, who enjoyed the fight scene between The Hound(I freaking love this guy) and Berric Dondarrion? The fact that the Hound is afraid of fire ever since his brother shoved his face into a furnace as a child makes this fight intense! And they're killing off main characters too! Anyone ever read the books, though?

Pitch Perfect! <3 :]

Yep, still waiting on the last one.

That was a great fight scene. Love the show!

Just started the 3rd season of Babylon 5. Keffer found the Shadows, and paid for it. Narn has been occupied. Kosh has revealed himself. The first White Star has seen action. JMS really knows how to tell an epic tale.

"The Babylon Project was our last best hope for peace. It failed. But in the year of the Shadow War, it became something greater. Our last, best hope... for victory."

I still have to check out the books. I love the characters. In season 1 and 2 the hated ones seem to be redeeming themselves quite nicely, and Jaime(the biggest snot of them all) was actually the victim and the hero and not the murderer the entire land blames him to be. What a turn around!



I want to check out this show. What channel does it air on?

Netflix, sorry to say. The show ended about 15 years ago. You Tube might have some complete episodes.

What? Wow. It is an old show, then! Sockshare or Putlocker might have them too.

It really was a great show. JMS - the creator - draws heavily upon LOTR for inspiration, and on Joseph Campbell's Hero Cycle. He creates a story of truly epic proportions.

It was ground-breaking for its time. It is the first tv show to use cgi instead of models for its effects shots. It is one of the first shows to be shown in a serial format, telling a single story over its five year run. Nowadays that is pretty normal. But in the 90s, it was extremely rare. Even the Trek shows and X-Files did not have a single, overarching storyline.

Well boys and girls (and lizards and cat-folk), it's that time of year again. Have successfully survived another year, and to reward me Marvel Entertainment is giving me another spectacle to attend. Tonight, on a Thor's Day night, I shall attend the premiere of Thor's ferrous teammate's third solo adventure, in glorious IMAX. My review shall come after I have witnessed the film, though you may have to wait while I celebrate Tony Stark-style by getting sloshed. See you on the other side.

Ooooh, Gwyneth Iron Man in IMAX!!...Niiiiice... ...

Don't make it to the movie theater much (time and money issues), so "watching" for me usually means television. Favorite show, HANDS DOWN, would be "The Walking Dead". No new shows 'til fall, so right now I am looking forward to the return of "Falling Skies".

Yes, the scorching hotness of Gwyneth in IMAX is sufficient to make most heterosexual single men do a double-take, particulary fans of red-heads such as myself.

That's right my friends, it's time for Cappy's Marvel Birthday Movie Review, brought to by Joss Whedon (or rather, my continued hopes and dreams to be cast in The Avengers 2).

Short version: go see Iron Man 3, in the I(ron)MAX 3D if you can. Shane Black takes the directive level to an impressive high-point with the fight scenes in the new installment, and the new outlook of Tony Stark reminds us that he's more than just a guy with a really nice suit, he's a guy with the ability to make nice suits. And then be a Bad@$$ while he's at it.

Long version: This movie doesn't have to work as a set-up to the roll-out of The Avengers continuity and it shows. Tony Stark's back in Malibu, Pepper Potts isn't frustrated trying to baby-sit Stark Industries while waiting for Tony to come back, and Happy is well aware that his new job is a necessity since Iron Man doesn't need a bodyguard or a driver anymore (see: Iron Man 2, The Avengers).

The villain work is fantastic. Ben Kingsley is exactly the guy to play the Mandarin, and the expectation of Ham-to-Ham combat is avoided entirely by actually relying on a compelling story of a villain whose magnificent theatrics are really just the calculated maneuvering of a deep and focused intellect whose goals, resources, and plans have a legitimate shot at succeeding in the worst possible way.

This isn't a story that makes you think "Oh, if only Tor, Cap and Dr. Banner were there to help out Tony and make all right in the Marvelverse." They make multiple mentions of the most recent cinematic entry in the manner similar to how we make references to our own collective tragedies. They say "nothing's been the same since New York" and the images are of Loki's foiled invasion, just as we would say "nothing's been the same since 9/11" and the understandings of that fundamental change in society's collective conscience is understood.

No spoilers in my review save this one: At this point Marvel has basically formalized their practice of including the after-credits stinger, Iron Man 3 is no exception, wait, it's worth it, and the over-credits music is actually enjoyable enough that you shouldn't mind.

Cap, Out!

I loved the series Arrow!

I went to see Oblivion. I’m not a Tom Cruise fan, but I was thoroughly entertained.

For reasons I shall not dive into here, I don´t want to see that one.

I can guess why.

I wonder if Beth have a case?

Nope.

So it was not the Western in Space Oblivion? That was a fun movie as well.

I put the Cruise one in my Netflix queue for when it comes to video. It sounds interesting, even though I am not a Cruise fan either.

Tom Cruise? I liked him in two things:

I forgot to mention "Defiance" on the SyFy Channel, and of course, "The Big Bang Theory".

My signature just got excited!

I like it to!

Who's your favourite?

Mines Howard.

They´re all great but no one can beat Sheldor!!

And yes, I knew how I spelled his name

Sheldon, then Amy (those two together are hilarious).

Oh, you mean the Shamy?

Exactly! And glad to see you got it right. The Shamy, not just Shamy...LOL!

I was a little sloppy though. Of course I meant The Shamy™

Still watching B5

"President Clark has violated the Earth Alliance Constitution: by dissolving the Senate, declaring martial law, and personally ordering the bombing of civilian targets on the Mars colony. He is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people. Following these attacks, Orion 7 and Proxima 3 have broken away from the Earth Alliance, and declared independence. Babylon 5 now joins with them. As of this moment, Babylon 5 is seceding from the Earth Alliance."

I'm the opposite Sheldon's my least favourite.

Maybe I just don't like his humor and he annoys me as a charcter.

To be honest he was much better in the beginning. Now he does all the things he refused to do earlier, like physically touching his girlfriend! Not to mention, having a girlfriend!!

Also the laugh track is hooooooooooooooooorible.

They laugh at things that aren't even funny like Sheldon describing Halo.

The laugh track is basicly just "LOLZ THATZ THE NERDYZ!"

I never seen the first season but apparently they had really internety SomethingAwful forum reffrences!

I took the family to see Iron Man 3 last night. We go to an old theater that doesn’t have 3D or stadium seating, but it does have massive screens and great sound systems. (In this theater we always sit in the seventh row center section on the right aisle. I take my movie sound seriously.) Anyway it was tremendous fun like Cap said even without the 3D IMAX experience. I highly recommend it.

Hey Grits, you don´t have to try and convince me to go see Iron Man 3 if I get the chance

Mine did too! I like all the characters, they click well against each other. Agreed on Sheldon and Amy, Howard and his mother, Leonard and Penny - this may be my favorite episode:

That is a good scene

Watched Saving Pivate Ryan again today. Still a great movie even though it is showing it's age now.

I nearly choked myself to death when they disrupted Sheldon's serious panel discussion.

That´s what´s so funny about Sheldon. He can´t take normal people´s behaviour

More TBBT stuff - It's hard for me to pick a favorite episode. So many have had me rolling. The one where Leonard is telling Penny about moving in ( Their initial meeting is priceless ), the one where Sheldon used a Virtual Presence Device ("No, I think a doorknob has you stymied."), the one where Howard and the robot hand have to go to the Emergency Room...I could go on and on....

I like the episode where Penny gives Sheldon a napkin with Leonard Nimoy´s autograph and he in return gives her all the gift baskets and a hug!! as thanks

I liked that one too, that was such a thoughtful gift.

@ ThatSkyrimGuy - you named some of my favorites too, especially the Virtual Presence Device (Penny singing "Soft Kitty" to the device) and Howard and the robot hand nearly killed me.

I actually had a huge crush on Penny/Kaley a few years back. But who can blame me, the girl´s cute as a button!

She is very cute, and I like that they play off her looks with Leonard paying her bills on a debt he will never collect on, or Penny dropping in whenever she knows they are eating (and Sheldon complaining about it/changing the WIFI passwords, etc)

I like that too, but I think that´s clear

lol
Sheldon: Do you realize what this means? All I need is a healthy ovum and I can make my own Leonard Nimoy!"
Penny: Ok, I'm only giving you the napkin, Sheldon.
