  1. If it ends up just being a black/grey suit with a red R on it, I'll be less interested in it. Robin needs more colour than that, IMO.

    In my experience, female LARPers are just as likely to be spoken-for as Tabletoppers. The difference being that the LARPer is more likely to be carrying around an actual vial of blood, wearing a ring with a compartment that holds some nefarious substance, be comprised of 10% foreign metallic objects, and probably is into furries. None of these traits particularly bother me, mind you, but I've found them to be more common in the LARP scene.

    Good. Spock's appearance in the first was more than enough. I like Nimoy and Shatner, mind, but if they're going to run with this new stuff they need to weigh anchor and move on from the past in their own direction.

    Probably. Just like tracking down that reviewer who complained that 'green is the color of will - who decided that, that's stupid' just to spend 12 hours bludgeoning them with a pika-hammer would be a waste of time. But at least they're wastes of times that I could derive *some* enjoyment from.

    This makes perfect sense to me: Doctor Who is best watched in winter, in the dark.

    I will never understand that outlook, because Doctor Who was never scary to me even as a kid. A bit creepy in a couple of episodes, but never outright scary.

    Because his ring obviously detected yellow energy beforehand given that it audibly notified him of it and he therefore must have tracked it to that location.
  7. I just saw it Monday afternoon and found it quite enjoyable. I liked the movie Hal Jordan a great deal, which is more than I can say for Hal as I've seen him in the comcs. He struck me as having all the good qualities of Hal minus that stick that seems to have been shoved up comic-Hal's backside. Maybe that's how Hal was before Coast City got destroyed?

    Of course, I would have preferred an Alan Scott movie. I always liked the magical Green Lantern best. But still, I'd look forward to a sinister sequel if they made it.

    That's why the original cartoons like Looney Tunes are timeless. They were made to entertain adults as well as kids, and as we grow up we start appreciating the deeper meaning of the comedy.
    I like how the coyote falling of the cliff is a metaphor for falling into the trap of pretentious irony.

    Hence 'the fact that it was just a throwaway line just made it worse'. The statement being made seems to be that he shouldn't have been using Jack at all, but if he was gonna do it he should've done it proper.

    EDIT: Also, it seemed to be implied that Jack was eaten. As I recall the exchange was something like 'How did you find Jack' 'A bit stringy.'

    I've always felt like an old man, but I've always enjoyed various "kids" movies, too.

    Assuming you mean Vosloo, when did he play Sinestro? Because Sinestro is voiced by Jason Isaacs in Emerald Knights, as I recall.

    .. pretty much the only scene worth watching in the movie.
    Ah, the camping scene. Yes, that is a redeeming scene. And Shatner looks younger there to me than he did in 2-4.

    If he doesn't go evil, he should at least be left-handed.

    Unless I'm mistaken, ST5 was the one where they get hijacked by a crazy vulcan and search for God at the center of the universe. I don't recall any bromance.

    In times past, sock suspenders (and floofy wigs) were fashionable for men. Braces, however, are dental monstrosities.

    Indeed. He stood guard over Amy for 2000 years without going insane or losing sight of his task. Despite appearing to be a bumbler, he is quite obviously made of pretty stern stuff.

    I thought The Voyage Home was horrible. I'd almost rather watch all of the TNG movies and ST5 than watch that damn preachy save-the-whales schlockfest.

    Yeah, Star Trek is the only thing he's done that I liked. Super 8 hasn't grabbed my interest at all, and indeed I've hardly seen any commercials for it to be "sick of Super 8"...

    I like all the Doctors to some degree, though I certainly like some more than others. For me, Doctors 3 and 4 are my favourites. I'm still not keen on Matt Smith, but I like him more this season than I have in the past. Peter Davison is the Doctor I like least, to the point where I have actually disliked him from time to time.

    Beats me what they're specifically missing out on. All I know is that Iron Man, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk are the top 3 Marvel movies for me so far.

    Did he? The way I understood him, a fully formed person couldn't be mutated in the short span of a lifetime exposure to the Time Vortex (as it normally takes billions of years), but when the likelihood of the actual conception having occurred in that environment was pointed out to him he had an "Oh crap!" moment that implies such an event could result in that unique mutation (1/2 timelord DNA). And such hybrid DNA gives Them (nebulous bad guy pronoun) a headstart on full Time Lord DNA.
