  1. Craig looked frightfully old at certain points in that movie. Like, I was questioning how soon they'd have to replace him old.
  2. The preponderance of snipers scattered around the city really is annoying. In particular, the array of snipers in the Diamond District made it a nightmare any time I had to pass through there. I absolutely dreaded having to go through the process of taking those guys out so I could do anything.
  3. This three-ring circus Orgeron is running right now is completely unsustainable, but I don't care - I love it. In fact, I'm pretty sure that song is playing in Orgeron's head 24/7.
  4. My favorite thing I heard today was an interview with Coach O about the changes he's made at USC since taking over, among them adding fried chicken and biscuits and a bunch of sweets to the training table menu. Basically, his plan for bringing the Trojans back to national prominence involves giving the whole team Type 2 Diabetes.
  5. Aaron Murray is the eternal orphan, perpetually left on the doorstep of greatness.
  6. Sadly, Bale's tan is the least offensive thing in that picture.
  7. Well, I felt like we were moving in a positive direction on that. Like, even if the leads were going to be white folks with killer tans, you'd at least get some color in the supporting cast and whatnot. But the Middle East of NOAH might as well be Middle Earth.
  8. Seriously, though, between this and Ridley Scott's upcoming Moses movie, it looks like Hollywood has backslid into full-on, don't-give-a-fuck, we're casting white people as Middle Easterners mode.

    Random TV Thoughts

    The Killing has come back from the dead more times than Jason Voorhees.I think Veena Sud is Jason Voorhees in this scenario, and Joel Kinnaman is the co-ed who just can't get away.
  10. That's really all there is in the OT story. There isn't much drama to it. There definitely aren't any real villains. He gets heckled for a while, but nobody ever mounts an attack against him, or whatever is going on in that trailer. Also, there were no flaming magic swords, that I'm aware of, so my only explanation for that is Paramount is launching it's answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Bible characters and Noah is going to borrow that sword from the angel Yhwh posted at the entrance of Eden after he kicked Adam and Eve out, thereby setting up his spin-off movie where they fill in the gaps of what he's been up to for the past 6,000 years.
  11. I didn't remember the director's name, so I was reading that thinking, "Wait, they made that movie."
  12. I'd like to thank Naughtydog for coming and showing...absolutely nothing. I mean, I didn't expect much on Uncharted (although the fact that they haven't even committed to calling it "Uncharted 4" probably tells you how NOT far into development they are), but you can only show me 15 seconds of nothing on the Last of Us DLC coming out in 2 months? Come on.
  13. I swear there was a throwaway line from Darcy where she said she tried calling SHIELD and they hung up on her or never called her back or something to that effect.
  14. Thanks. That's reassuring. That's another little thing that peeves me about an otherwise good game. In AC, the predator rooms respawned enemies after the story concluded, so you could go back and do some of the predator physical challenges.
  15. That kinda annoyed me, too. The worst is that the last challenge in the Gotham Protector track (stop a crime in progress in every district) is impossible because there are no random cip's on the bridge. God bless the Internet for showing me how to game the system on that one.
  16. Does your progress on the Dark Knight challenges carry over into New Game+? I finished two of them, and I'm down to the last challenge on the combat track, but I've got over half of the predator challenges to go.
  17. Finished the game over the weekend. I really liked the story, but did it seem really short to anyone else? A lot shorter than AC, anyway. The final encounter with Bane drove me nuts. The first time he reached into a grate and pulled me out scared the shit out of me. I've spent the last few days going back and collecting the data packs, which has been frustrating. None of them are as challenging as some of the Riddler trophy stuff from the last game, but FUCK the layout of some of the buildings - they make going back and collectible hunting a major pain in the ass. I made myself nauseous navigating the GCPD building the second time around.

    HOMELAND

    I don't think anyone ever really thought that, so much as feared it tremendously. F. Murray Abraham also said "butt monkey" this episode.
  19. SHIELD finally dipped below 7 million viewers, all the way to 6.6 million. Time to blow up the jet and bring in the Level 10 team to clean up.
  20. Well, nevermind. Looks like they've brought back Melissa Rosenberg to head up the version of Jessica Jones she was developing for ABC a little while back. Her oeuvre is somewhat less auspicious, including several of the TWILIGHT films, though she did work on a few of the less-shitty seasons of DEXTER.

    So we've all just given up now, huh? Saul locking Senator Lockhart in the conference room made me laugh.
  22. I kinda hate what his brother and sister-in-law are doing to SHIELD, but I would be perfectly alright if all the Marvel TV shows just get farmed out to various Joss lieutenants. I'm going to go ahead and call Marti Noxon or Jane Espenson for the Jessica Jones show.
