  1. It's not a rip off, it's an homage!

  2. Daredevil's comic never gets the love it deserves.
  3. I just saw her talking with Luke and Layton. How kind of her to help with a riddle! Say, that reminds me of my own puzzle. Mind if I tell it...?

    I like that no one is acknowledging this Occram's razor.
  5. Name a year, it will show you a video that is relevant to that specific year.

    Warning: Tropes/Rickollesque in its addictive quality.

    Mulan is the Chuck Norris of Disney. You point out she isn't a princess, she breaks your jaw.

    One person alone fought through the bureaucracy and legal ways to denounce her false claim. That person was Uncle Remus. And sweet sassy molassy, aint no one evah heard of his poor soul again.
  7. I showed that link to Manoa. She showed me this.

    Fairly certain that Mulan's qualifies as a foundation for its own religion.
  8. Oh! Are those the final results for the whole thing? Or are there more rounds?

    Cats was one of broadway's longest running shows. The average musical fan doesn't know what Into The Woods or Assassins are.

    This is endless aggravation for me.
  11. Darn. I was really hoping that they would answer the questions that they set up and answered in Season 1 as well as two, three, and four...

    If Heroes had planned to go out on top at the end of Season 2, it would live in television's pantheon of great shows. As is, it's an embarrassment of selling product for the sake of selling.

    Don't worry, though. Rachel Berry and Hiro Nakamura will have a lot to talk about soon.
  12. It takes daring and originality to make a truly good musical that makes full utilization of that story telling format. Simply slapping a couple of catchy back beats to a pre-existing franchise is practically the antithesis of the art form.

    I hope they have him say, "I tried so hard and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter." Then get splatted.

    I also didn't know this was the confirmed last Saw movie. Sad times.
    There were supposed to be two more (yes, it was planned out in advance.). The poor sales of the 6th one forced them to cut them one short.

    Which works for me. All 7 really needs to be is one huge fight scene and then credits. That would pretty much wrap everything up.

    True true, but I was referring to an article that I read where the women of X-Men were being interviewed:

    Interviewer: Do any of you have any regrets about the series?

    **After a couple of answers from the others**

    Haley: I regret not being given more lines.

    It was such a snobby thing to say. You're one of the most revered (At the time) women in the film industry starring in one of the most beloved franchises in American culture. And you didn't have enough lines. Entitlement. Your sense of it is strong.

    Spoiler:




    In the 6th movie, Jigsaw's main victim is an insurance adjuster who invented the equation that determines which people qualify for medical compensation and which do not. Jigsaw sets up a bunch of traps that makes the adjuster literally decide who lives and dies. His goal is to drive home the idea that quantifying the value of a human life is a disgusting thing to do.

    Of course, there are flaws in that logic, but that's what makes Jigsaw such a fun villain! He always has this sound logic and respectable moral philosophy that will spontaneous jump the track to "And that's why we should torture a dozen people to death".

    Gah, Haley Berry's ego is its own arch villain.

    That was what Six was all about.

    Edit: Just watched the trailer. It's no secret that I'm a huge Saw fan, both in that I'm very devout in my hobby and that I am obese. Everything I'm seeing about this one concerns me, however. This should be the final battle between everyone remaining from the first six. This should be marketed as the climax to the entire series. I want to see trailers recapping the original movies and laying out what each character will bring to the table in this epic showdown.

    All I'm getting, though, is "The same thing, but in 3D!". If they mess this one up, it will very much disappoint me. The bar has never exactly been high for the Saw series, but they've typically succeeded in what they set out to do. I'd be sad if the fumble it so close to the goal.

    DOUBLE EDIT!: Putting this next bit in small because of all the SPOILERS. The entire point of Saw VI was that it was the first time someone did something Kramer couldn't possibly have anticipated. That was what made the whole ending so incredible. If they sit there and go "Ah, but Kramer planned to have his plan foiled", it's going to be a broken promise in my eyes.
  18. I've watched maybe three episodes of Smallville ever, but I still had to let loose a mighty "Heck yeah" when I saw him push the Daily Planet statue back up.

    Weird though that Burn Notice is on Hiatus till November when this is on.
    How is Covert Affairs? The billboards looked unappealing to me. Is it any good?

  22. Also, this is an idiotic idea. I foresee several people swerving out of the way needlessly.
  23. Glee. Pick a character that isn't Rachel, Finn, or Mr. Schuester. Pick a card, any card. It's a three card monty and the whole deck is queens!
  24. I... I really did read that in his voice. But his fierce "I'm having an argument about srs bsns" voice, not fighting. So no attacks.
