The timeline screwiness is no more clean in the comics. I feel that's about the only thing they've kept accurate between the Films and Comic Books.

Hehe, you make a good point there.

Good God--I can't believe I actually alluded an expectation of things like continuity or cohesiveness from (Marvel, or any for that matter) comics. I've just facepalmed meself.

Just return it back to Marvel.

Hear! Hear!

So, Cable is a confirmed character for the Deadpool sequel, correct? I don't see how that could ever be made to coherently tie in with any of Fox's other X-movies. Based on the disjointed, f'ed up mess they've [Fox et al] made of it all with the movies--namely Scott & Jean/Madelyn/whoever-the-fu*k-it-was (I'm not terribly familiar with the Dark Phoenix storyline particulars), Cable can't/shouldn't even exist in that continuity.

This is at once both awesome and a little bit frightening. Think I'd lose my sh*t if this little guy showed up on my doorstep trick-or-treating. Hell, almost makes one wonder: who needs CGI eh, Marvel Studios?

That Costworth in Mario's car sounds effing glorious when the guys at the garage run it up to get 'er ready for track duty.

Hehe, racing rotaries do sound cool--but not for prolonged durations. If you had to listen to a couple of them--and say, about 20 or so Porsche flat-6's going at the same time--for 24 hrs straight, the noise could make just about anyone a bit punchy.

I haven't been able to put in any hours at my "part time" gig this summer; and man, am I missing it...

Due largely to my ignorance of Japanese racing history, but still; can't believe I never spotted this odd resemblance to the color patterns of everyone's favorite squad of intrepid space-fighter pilots?

Well, I'll be dipped. So was/is Kawamori-san or someone on the original production team at Studio Nue a racing fan? Or just coincidence?

I know they say history tends to repeat itself, but FFS. Did they learn nothing from King Kong Lives? Sh*tfest. That's what this is gonna be; bunch of CG 'splosions and stuff tied loosely together with sh*t plot and mailed-in acting.

The presence of Jackson and Goodman do not reassure me. They're both reaching an age where they and/or their agents are probably respectively thinking: script offers ain't gonna keep rolling in like they did before, let's not be too picky...

Then again, on the upswing: this could lead to another golden age of B-movie fodder, suitable for the consumption of fine cinematic cheese. Now if only drive-ins weren't [all but] extinct.

And now for your viewing displeasure...

52:20 - LOL! I don't know if she's supposed to be crying out from grief--or if she's just stifling laugher from trying to hold-it-together for the scene. That was aw-ful! Many thanks, definitely good for some yuks!

Are you f'in shi**in' me?!?

It would be nice if they made this pack : Ironman, Spidy & Aunt May .

Rule 34 says there's probably already a video of that floating around somewhere.

ed: can't wait to see this one in the theater. Settled for BvsS on TV; don't want to make the same concession with this one.

That list didn't have the lesser releases like the Nick Fury movie or the seventies spider man or Craptain America films.

I tried watching the Hoff ver of Nick Fury. Once. Much as the nostalgic part of me wanted to give it a shot, I couldn't do it. I lasted about 7 mins...

I'm surprised they didn't use that one to break prisoners at Gitmo...

Ooh yeah--how could I have missed this:

for this?

Pretty cool. I guess the fanboys are finally getting what's been wanted all along, i.e. seeing the images from the pages of some of the most iconic comics come to life, instead of Hollywood's interpretation of said comics--which often gets lost in translation (no pun intended).

Question: when did Wonder Woman get so insanely powered-up though? Since when did she go from Amazonian princess, "earth's strongest woman" (but still human, eh?) to basically Superman with t*ts?

I finally got around to seeing this one. Wow, it was a lot better than I thought it would be going in. There weren't nearly as many

moments with the story/plot as there were in MoS. Admittedly, the opening credits scene felt like I was viewing Watchmen all over again. But still: an unexpected thumbs-up.

Well damn, Affleck actually pulled it off. The only thing missing from the Batsuit was a vest pocket and a notepad--cause he (Batman) kicked ass and took names. The fight to rescue Martha Kent had me LOL'ing (in a good way, dat sh*t was awesome). Only thing it needed was a "POW" or a "ZAM" or a "KLONK" here and there.

I did like the little nods in the film to the previous incarnations of our heroes. From the batsuit serving as a functional body armor, a la Burton & Nolan vers; to the Superman with the kryptonite in the marble "pool" scene a la Donner; to Supes getting nuked and regenerated by the sun (from one of the WB animated films, can't remember which); and of course the Dark Knight Returns nod with the power armor.

Where they started to lose me though was the Doomsday fight, when dir. Snyder resorted to the over-the-top, faster-than-the-eye-can-register SFX. Feels a bit like directorial sleight of hand; like trying to dazzle viewers to distract from any proverbial holes or flaws in the background.

Unlike MoS, I think this one'll hold up much better to multiple viewings.

Meanwhile, in China...

I know, I know: that is absolutely deplorable...

but the immature delinquent in me can't help but think: that's actually kinda fuggin' awesome! You put that sh*t in an arena, an' I'd guarantee a sh*tload o' people would pay to see that...

Finally got around to watching it. F'ing awesome. Lots of LOL moments. Definitely has a [early] Zucker-brothers-inspired feel to it.

Hell, my money's on Marvel. Gotta give 'em credit: they've gotten damned good at making movies about their (comics) characters. CA:TWS, Guardians and Avengers 2--even Ant Man (my son loved that one) have all pleasantly surprised. They're doing a damned good job of assembling the right talent to make some pretty entertaining movies--without too much of the eye-rolling silliness you might expect from a comic-book-movie. I'm pretty stoked to see Black Panther make it to the big screen....

It's too bad we can't see how they'd handle the "mutant" properties/movies....

Just. Damn.

We've seen companies imagine remakes of the Pontiac Firebird using the current Chevrolet Camaro platform, but how about a modern Buick muscle car? The Buick Avista concept is a throwback to the marque's performance heritage. Under the hood is a 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 that generates 400 bhp.

2016 Buick Avista Concept

Okay--it does look like they traced the outlines of the AMG nose and grafted their version of it onto the rear of (probably someone else's) another design. But still...that's a Buick? Holy sheep!

Bloody 'ell! I'd say that's a bucket-list drive.

Tha fu*k is coming next, Jack and Jill: Secret Agents?
