Old Warren Oates movies, Pixies music videos and anything Agatha Christie.

Some of you guys are still dicks to me for expressing interest then bailing.


Octoberfested and Sahara Hotnightsfested tonight.

You can also talk to Brad Smoley (Smolverine on here, last I checked). He's into the board games and has even created a couple. He might be able to help out.

Alright, I am getting caught up on Grimm, and I have just one rant...

If I'm a demon-slayer, and I find a secret door that appears to have been hidden for years, and is really really really really hard to open.....I'M GOING TO KEEP IT SHUT.

And in the event I lose my mind, and decide to work in what little free time I have to get it open, and I finally do, and it leads to a shaft that goes down into darkness....

I'm freakin' NOT going to throw a stone down in there to see how deep it is. I saw/read Fellowship of the Ring. I know what happens there.

Dumbasses.

This used to be fun, so here it goes again:

Workout (Weights) -- I was in the university weight room at the same time as all the athletes...Ugh...testosterone overdrive anyway?

Motorhead -- Ramones
Eric Johnson -- Cliffs of Dover
ELO -- Livin' Thing
Flogging Molly -- Float
Guns N' Roses -- Breakdown
Beastie Boys -- Intergalactic
Marilyn Manson -- Antichrist Superstar
Fight for your right -- Beastie Boys
Kid Rock -- Cocky (really really really wanted to inquire as to whether or not the folks with their basic lacking of understanding of Gym Etiquette could "back it up." My guess? No.
Peter Gabriel -- Shock the Monkey
Afro Celt Sound System -- Riding the Waves
Flogging Molly -- Requiem for a Dying Song
Rush -- Distant Early Warning
Marilyn Manson -- If I was Your Vampire
Marilyn Manson -- Into the Fire (these two songs were playing while some were pretending to be tough while Metallica was playing on the speakers. Neither of these can EVER be safe for radio, and no person of conscience should even like them...I think the boys would have been terrified...)

GOT HEEEEEEM

That was supposed to say "unlikely case" but I hit the character limit. I'm sure Dev knows about this.

But for anyone who doesn't there's a kickstarter for a Veronica Mars movie. It's already hit its $2m goal, so its happening, but I'm sure more money means better movie. So if you're into that sort of thing go check it out.

I usually had seen 75% of the movies nominated in the different categories, but this year I saw Django (awsome) and ZDT (also really good)

I need to cut on beers and go more to the movies.

Also in unrelated news, I'm going to the game tonight!

I saw the movie (no really! I swear I did!) It was well done, but kind of REALLY depressing. Katniss (or however you spell her name) was crazy hot.

That is all

It was quite an excellent movie, even beyond the fact that only behind The Dark Knight, I believe it's the second best superhero movie ever made. Definitely enough in the movie to attract the non-comic geeks like us. Mrs. The Demko loved the movie, and she HATES comic books. So overall, I think Marvel and Disney have hit upon the absolute perfect marketing strategy. Make solid individual character movies (could there have been a better casting choice in the last 10 years than RDJ as Tony Stark?), and then put them all together, not neglecting any of the characters seriously, and getting a top-notch director to put it all together.

If Joss Whedon somehow bows out of Avengers 2, I will be severely disappointed. The nice thing is, he can basically have them sign a blank check for him to come back again. I'm hoping that's incentive enough to do it all over again, especially considering how many side projects he's continue to juggle in the background. I have no idea how that man can operate on this many things at the same time.

May I say that despite liking Edward Norton's take on Banner, that Mark Ruffalo absolutely NAILED it? I think Ruffalo's Banner was pitch perfect, and he totally got into the character's brain, I would say *ALMOST* as much as Ledger got into the Joker's brain. Though definitely a more lighthearted take on the character, overall, I really felt like Ruffalo was the star player here.

And lastly, the incidental characters - so glad they made mention of Jane Foster being protected. I do kinda wish they'd made the same effort to mention Betty Ross. Maria Hill was portrayed quite well by Ms. Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), though I always imagined Hill a bit more exotic and not quite so... vanilla. Coulson was great, as always. Sam L. struck a great balance between Nick Fury, and Nick Fury doing his Sam L impression (IS THE SUN IN THE SKY?!) And I thought Johanssen and Renner really had a chance to shine, and took advantage of it. Especially BW's 'interrogation scene' toward the beginning of the movie.

Overall, the only nitpick I had was the first credits scene, where they introduced the possible next villain. REALLY?! You go from Loki/Chitauri to that? Wasn't there any sort of middle-ground bad guy they could have gone with? It's like escalating from a small campfire to burning down the entire Eastern seaboard. There's gotta be another step up from there. Granted, they may surprise us, and give that guy henchmen, but it just seemed like a huge step to take in the course of one movie.

Great movie. 4.5/5 for me.

I'm predicting that we see Alicia & Christina stick together and somehow swing Chelsea to their side to make up the Final 3. Then Chelsea gets every single jury vote because it seems like nobody thinks Christina belongs there, and they all want to slap the fuck out of Alicia.

Make sure everyone checks out our new movie reviewer here at Pun's House, The Dick Talking About Flicks. His first review of "The Raven" is up at the link below.

For what it's worth, I was talking about Community in the post right before yours, but The Office has slipped, too.

Your top 10 Sopranos moments.

Edit was done to correct the link.....it's been a while.

Fat Harp Hopkins.

Thus concludes my annual post at Pun's house.

I can't say enough good things about this show. I caught it about 4-5 months ago, before it hit Hulu, and just absolutely loved it. This is honestly what Heroes should have been.

Yeah, as a possible cancer cure I believe.

No order here either... too busy but here it goes, from the top of my head:

The Rocket (Maurice Richards bio very very very good. Solly you say you like movies and hockey, you have to see this)
Bull Durham
SlapShot
Any Given Sunday (for what Dev said)
Rudy
Invincible
A league of their Own
Ali


Can't think of two more and the phone is rigging....

It's actually pretty badass, and they got some surprisingly decent character actors, for a web series. I think these would make a fantastic lead-in to a new MK feature film.

well if there is that much fucking I might give it a look
