  1. The novel has been on my to-read list for several years now. I’m torn between watching the show beforehand or reading the book as the book will be a slow read for me and the show will outpace me.
  2. Still the best series finale I’ve ever seen. Avoid spoilers.
  3. Oh wow, I didn’t realize Jon Bernthal and Wilson Bethel were returning as Punisher and Bullseye. I’m far more interested now..
  4. Woah didn’t realize there was a Scorcese movie I had never heard of before.
  5. They can do Cable vs Thanos in the same movie too!
  6. Wait does “What if” have season long story arcs? I always thought it was like a version of The Twilight Zone where every episode is completely unrelated.
  7. The problem with that is it’s outside of the character they establish with Slim. Slim’s a simple, rough and tumble kind of person. He’s not ambitious or a scheme maker which he admits to when he turns down Marlo as being the East side contact for the co-op (“I ain’t cut out to be no CEO”). He’s basically a high level soldier, built to follow orders but not make strategic decisions and he knows it.
  8. Watched the first episode of Reacher S2. While you know what you're getting if you've seen S1, Reacher's flawless and perfect hero persona is almost gagging in it's flattery. Spoilers E1:
  9. In the TDKR, Bane's mask provides a constant painkilling gas (due to some mysterious physical injury which he suffered in the Pit) which is supposed to explain why none of Bruce's blows in the initial fight seem to physically hurt him. Only till one of the pins in his mask comes loose in the final fight is when he begins to feel the effects of the fight. In the comics he injects himself with a highly addictive substance called Venom, which acts as substance which artificially increases his strength (and is basically the ultimate performance enhancing drug). I believe that method of death was intentional. At that point, Bane is revealed to not be the mastermind behind everything and is literally Talia's bodyguard from childhood. So he's killed off like any other henchman.
  10. Nolan tried to do way too much in TDKR and it felt very rushed -- especially at the end. Also, trying to take a city hostage and leaving it's police force alive in the sewers as a form of imprisonment is just-in-your-face comicbook silliness. And everyone and their mother knew Marion Cotillard was Talia Al-Ghul. I didn't actually mind that Bane turns out to just be a bodyguard in the end but Talia's reveal just didn't do it for me. ETA: I didn't think it was a bad movie but it's certainly the weakest of the 3 and could have been fixed with better sound and editing.
  11. That Axle F theme music hit me in the feels. Wish them the best with this.
  12. Damn. I had no idea who Rudolph Hoss was and his wikipage is a hell of an entry.
  13. Oh hell yeah. The picture does seem a little off but my biggest regret about the first one was not watching it in IMAX. I shall not be making that mistake this time.
  14. Almost? I still didn't recognize her even after reading your post before watching the trailer..
  15. Has anyone seen Three Body on Amazon? Is it any good? The IMDB episode summaries are terribly translated (which I vaguely recall to be a criticism of the book so maybe it's just being faithful to the source material ).
