    So I finally sat down and watched HBO's original movie The Normal Heart, I've had it on my DVR recorded for about a week but I've been stupid, ridiculous busy lately. I gotta say, I haven't shed man tears like that in quite a while, it was immensely powerful, with some incredible performances all around, it was gripping and amazing all the way through. I always have to thank HBO for putting out projects like this, the same thing happened with Behind the Candelabra, the material was deemed too gay or not profitable enough for a major theatrical release, so what happens next? HBO comes in says "Get the frakk out, we got this", and boom, another amazing film rivaling anything I've watched in theaters in the past several years. So in all, if you have HBO, do yourself a favor and DVR this or watch in on HBOgo, it was a truly fantastic film and I couldn't recommend it enough.

    I love all the controversy Eva's new poster is getting, extreme blood, gore and violence is okay, but God forbid someone accidentally sees a nipple which I'm pretty sure most humans on Earth have two of. This could have been the studio's end-game all along, to put this out and stir up controversy and interest in the new film, but it seems a lot of people appear to be getting pretty pissy about it, I think it's hilarious.

    Fargo! Watch it people, it's good. Another intense episode tonight, too many excellent scenes, also Key and Peele were FBI.

    Just a question, are there any threads dedicated to co-op games? I recently grabbed a copy of Splinter Cell Conviction for $1 and I can't find anyone to play co-op online, also, co-op games are awesome.

    I looked up some images and reviews, I can definitely admit Strafe and Slug look pretty cool. It's just odd that the leader class Grimlock is so disappointing, the leader line used to be the most accurate, detailed, and usually the best choice for the larger bots. Prime and Starscream had excellent Leader classes in previous movies, I saw the Leader Prime from this movie and damn, what happened? I also saw the Voyager Class Prime that I guess is going to be the form Marky-Mark finds him in, I can say it's a pretty cool throw back to the G1 Prime, aside form a lack of paint apps I think it actually looks pretty good.

    Seriously at this point I could give two shits less about any upcoming valk figures, I really just want to get my hands on a Hikaru 1J and Roy 1S, then I can be done with Macross valks for a while. Of all things they decide to re-issue the 19 Kai? The hero VF-1s like the Hikaru 1J and Roy 1S are selling for insane prices, especially the 30th Anniversary ones with the extra parts, I know myself and many people would also like another shot at a 1D, I'm pretty sure I can buy a Kai right now shipped for about $160 USD, the Kai is not rare, we don't want another Kai. If anything it seems like people would just like the extra mini pilot and band figures, sell those bundled with that never released sound cannon thing or whatever then everyone can be happy.

    Eww these colors are gross, I was hoping for a fixed re-issue of the cannon fodder 171, you still get nothing from me Bandai.

    Good lord all of the toys look awful, the entire new movie line looks terrible, I don't think I'll be buying a single figure from the new film, even the Leader Class stuff looks bad. I bought one figure from the last film line, it seems Hasbro is going downhill further and further with these things, they're cutting corners everywhere, so many crappy shell-formers, so many dulled down re-releases of previous figures.

    I loved Chronicle, I saw it twice in theaters and I bought it on BluRay day one of release. It had a very Akira feel through the second half, especially into the final act, which was cool. For me, this film was like District 9, another giant stand out hit that crap on all the big budget competition for the year, a cast of nobodies, a tiny budget, and yet it was incredibly well done.

    I want to see it now, I love Ben's suit so that actually gave me more hope and peeked my interest a bit more, I don't mind the title either, I'm whatever about it. At this point I just want to see Gal In costume as WW, and I want to see Cyborg in costume. One thing I wondered about the title, is why they didn't just go with World's Finest, Batman V Superman or Batman & Superman World's Finest. I mean the holy trinity is Bat, Supes, and WW, the original six has been changed up a lot but that always refers to the original six Justice League members, but Bat and Supes on their own are often referred to as the World's Finest, short for world's finest heroes. I mean we don't know anything about the story, but based on the Dark Knight Returns inspired suit I think it's pretty obvious BenBat will be going toe to toe with Supes in an amored Bat-Suit like in Dark Knight Returns, I just wonder how much actual Batman Vs Superman we'll see in this movie, will it become redundant? Will they not even fight or be at odds that long to the point that the title becomes a bit pointless? I don't know, Dawn of Justice obviously means they're trying very hard to set up Justice League, until I learn more actual plot details I'm just going to reserve most of my judgements.

    Because he's supposed to, he's Old Logan, that's how it was in the comic as well. No he doesn't age, but they still wanted a slight physical indication that this man has been alive for over 200 years.

    I don't dislike gerwalk mode in general, I just personally feel like outside the VF-1, hardly any valk looks good in gerwalk, Mac7 in particular had awful gerwalk modes pretty much across the board. I will say I used to own a renewal Bandai Messiah, and while I disliked the figure in general I liked the gerwalk, I also think the SV-51 had a pretty cool gerwalk.

    I don't own too many 1/6 figures, only 3 Hot Toys, but when something catches my eye I'm sold. It appears there's quite a few companies doing incredible 1/6 figures these days, my question, has anyone heard of World Box? World Box recently announced these two 1/6 Mortal Kombat figures, and I pre-ordered both. I'm excited, I think these two look great, obviously I'm now hoping for a Liu Kang and Scorpion to compliment these two.

    The Order 1886 looks like a prettier steampunk Gears of War to me, honestly, nothing special at all, I haven't seen a single thing that interested me yet, also, 24 frames per second? That's weird, everyone is complaining up a storm about resolution and FPS this console generation and this game comes a long with fairly low film level FPS, I know it saved on hardware power, and they were going or the movie feel throughout, but as far as being a game goes, I can't get excited.

    I find myself losing interest in this show every season, I haven't even watched the back half of season 4 yet because I heard, as usual, really mixed things. I may have to catch up sometime but I'm just blah about it, I read some more comic book characters got introduced along with the get to DC storyline, so I'll probably torrent the rest of season 4 later tonight.

    I watched all of Assassin's Fist and I was extremely impressed, I loved the initial Street Fighter Legacy short as well. There was camp and cheese admittedly, and it was obvious with some of the effects they were definitely restricted by budget, but the sheer amount of detail is pretty amazing, from costumes to the actual moves and poses, it's all pretty obviously made by people that know and love the material. Lots of little nods and easter eggs for fans, and lots of little details explaining and paying homage to different tiny details within the series, like explanations for Ken and Ryu's trademark bounce while standing still, Gouken going over strategy within combat to Ken and Ryu while also explaining chip damage within the Street Fighter competitive scene, and seeing the costume transitions from Alpha to the main series. I'm impressed, the initial trailer hadn't filled me with hope, but this season was much more then I expected, if they could sell this season on Bluray, I'd buy it.

    So Hannibal just had one of the most intense and incredible season finales I've ever seen, truly amazing, lots of feels going on. Hannibal was renewed for a third season, so if you were thinking about jumping in, now's the time to for it, there are officially two mind blowing seasons out, if you have Amazon Prime all the episodes can be streamed easy enough.

    The thing I'm wondering now is if TOHO will give Legendary access to their stable of kaiju, because for the sequel I would like to see another familiar face. MUTO was a pretty cool kaiju, but I'd like to see one of Godzilla's classic enemies go toe to toe with him in glorious expensive CG.

    Damn I just got back from my showing, I absolutely loved it, definitely my favorite X-Men film now replacing X2. I must say, Singer is back in form, this was a great film, there was a lot to cover, and a pretty ridiculous story to tell, but I believe he pulled it off. I didn't feel anything dragged on, the pace was excellent, and surprise surprise, I loved Quicksilver. Note to anyone going to see it, stay after the credits, there is definitely a tasty little scene teasing the events to come.

    I always loved this woodland scheme, I know the grey low viz was always the hot ticket but I personally preferred this one. I no longer own any 1/48s, but I'd definitely like to buy a new one just to own at least one, and it would probably be this scheme.

    Simple mix up, for some reason I remembered Wally being Flash in Smallville, I haven't watched it in quite a while, and I am WAY behind on the season 11 comic. I remember Jay appearing in the Justice Society episodes, which were some of my favorites.

    Raise the roof for Raul Julia as M. Bison, or uh Vega if you prefer, in the Street Fighter movie! Raul was pretty much the only good thing about this movie, he played his role and he played it well.

    Ah crap it's finally coming folks, this was posted in the Godzilla 2014 thread, but it belongs here too! https://www.facebook.com/Tamashii.USA I can't wait, I loved Godzilla's new design, and I officially own every MonsterArts Godzilla kaiju released, my Final Wars Gigan will be here Monday!

    This full length trailer really sold me, it looks fantastic. Boy the effects have really come a long way since Wally West's running effects on Smallville. I think the production value is pretty amazing, I just hope they can keep it up, with a character like The Flash they'll more than likely need effects on every episode. CW is nailing it with the live action DC stuff, Arrow had an amazing finale in my opinion, and The Flash is looking badass, I just kind of wish the new Constantine was connected to these series as well, get a little New 52 crossover action happening.
