    Have you checked inside all the buildings? There are like 11 inside the steel mill.

    Man, I've been saying since the first Thor movie that it gave off a strong MotU vibe.

    I really enjoyed Revengeance once I got the hang of it. Problem was, as soon as I got the hang of it, the game was over.

    Not a great pocket passer, sure, but until Johnny usurped him, the undisputed king of just running around, throwing the ball up, and something good happening.

    Continuing on the Marvel TV end of things... If they're going for lesser known actors for these Netflix shows, I humbly submit Teddy Sears for Daredevil. I don't think anybody else here watches it, but he is excellent as Dr. Langham on MASTERS OF SEX. Big, athletic guy with a strong jaw. Looks like a superhero. And a quick review of his IMDB shows that he's played a lawyer on several shows, so he fits that type, I guess.

    The commercials for the next episode crack me up. "This is a Level 8 secret!" It is my sincerest hope this is the start of a Dragonball Z-like escalation of secrecy levels. By season 3, it'll be like, "OH MY GOD, THIS SECRET IS LEVEL 23."

    Oh yeah, the Dark Elves' assault on Asgard was eerily STAR WARS-esque. And between that and the scene with Thor and Jane talking romantically by the waterfront evoking the similar scene with Anakin and Padme in ATTACK OF THE CLONES (except, you know, with actual heat between the actors and better dialogue), the middle part of THOR 2 felt like Marvel's answer to Star Wars.

    You keep repeating that, and it's just not true. Saban has won against far more dual-threat QBs than he has lost against. Really, the only true dual-threat QBs that he's lost to since he got the train rolling in 08 were Tebow, Cammy Cam, and Johnny Football. AKA: Heisman winners. So, I think what you're really saying is "have the best player in the country on your team, and you have a chance." Which is true. And Winston may have the hardware to fit the criteria come January. But just having a guy who can "freelance" isn't enough. Saban has chewed up and spit out his fair share of guys who fit that descripion. ('Sup, Denard.) Just this season alone, he fucking destroyed Logan Thomas and Bo Wallace like they were D2 quarterbacks. (He will also be discarding Nick Marshall in a similar fashion after Thanksgiving, so watch for that.)

    Everybody would love to see that game. Unfortunately, the Ducks play in the same division as Bama Lite, and apparently the Lite version is good enough to get the job done. So, alas, we probably never will.
  10. EVA
    Can we just skip to Bama and FSU playing for the title? Because those are clearly the best two teams.

    Reposting for emphasis.LSU was about 2 feet from making it 7-0. How different of a game might it have been if not for "Who's" Tana Patrick punching the ball out of JC Copeland's enormous hands?It's easy to forget that for every stud recruit that Saban signs who goes on to be a star player, there are 2 or 3 other stud recruits who turn out to be just some other dudes on the roster. Patrick was one such dude, until tonight. Amazing story of perseverance.

    On that last LSU series, Bama blitzed a safety and a corner off the edge on, like, 3rd and 18, up 21, with 2 minutes to play. YOU CRAZY FOR THAT ONE, NICK.
  13. EVA
    Okay, so I may have overreacted earlier. What a statement this 2nd half has been.
  14. EVA
    Man, LSU is going to win this game. When a guy like Mosely whiffs an easy INT and it turns into a huge completion to a big dude who never catches, you know fate is not on your side.
  15. EVA
    Well, aside from the two fumbles, this is going about as badly as last year's game.
  16. EVA
    Tana Patrick just made the play of his career on the goal line.

    Poor Florida. Getting run by Vandy now. I thought Boom would be safe this year, considering all the injuries, but if this thing totally breaks down, who know. Brent Pease should definitely be dusting off his resume, no matter what.

    Do you guys seriously not remember the public outrage over how the mythology of the X-FILES slowly devolved into idiocy? I remember it well.
  20. EVA
    It's better than the first THOR. I do think it's funny that Thor spends the whole movie doing exactly the same thing that got him banished from Asgard in the first movie.

    Vince Gilligan wrote the greatest show of all time while making it up as he went along. It's harder to do that on TV than any other medium, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with that approach. Lindelof & Cuse's mistake was in lying about having a plan. That said, you also have to understand the unique pressure they were under. LOST was the first big mythology-driven hit show since the X-FILES, and the wounds from how badly that show went out were still fresh on people's minds. The public basically demanded that they promise LOST wouldn't hurt them like that. If they had said, "No, we're writing this from season to season like every other TV show, ever," people would've started jumping ship a lot sooner than they did.

    How does Heimdall still have a job? He uses his position to commit treason against the throne in every one of these movies.

    THOR 2 was fun, though I'm not sure I'd call it a good movie. The plot is a grab bag of fantasy tropes, the villains are big nothings (Congratulations, Red Skull, you're no longer the worst villain in a Marvel movie), the Sif/Jane angle gets dropped before it even begins, the Warriors Three get nothing to do (the poor Asian guy gets unceremoniously dumped out of the movie in his first scene), and the first half of the movie is a meandering, unfocused drag, as they have to dump a lot of expostion to set up the plot nonsense while also, oddly, spending time developing stories with the supporting characters that they will drop as soon as they get to the part everyone came to see. But once they actually get to Thor busting Loki out of the joint, it's a fun ride. I think the big battle at the end is actually more high concept and fun than the one at the end of AVENGERS. It's like somebody watched JUMPER and said, "Yeah, this movie is ass, but we can do something with that concept." If Tom Hiddleston is the MVP of these movies, then Kat Dennings is their double secret weapon. She slays throughout.

    Apparently what they meant by "a young John Hawkes type" was a guy with a big honkin' nose.
