I haven't seen the film but here's an article on early reviews. They're mixed; none are completely negative, but none are exactly glowing either. Most seem to like the characters and consider it an okay introduction, the villain is depicted as being yawn CGI when he's even mentioned. They mention the tone is lighter but its bloated with special effects and poorly placed music (Suicide Squad had the same feel to me).

Logic and causality no longer hold, and I'm only on the second page of the finals I'm grading.

In another thread it was mentioned there should be more culturally diverse superhero movies, I'm wondering who those movies, particularly from Marvel/DC, could focus on?

Watching yet another cooking competition focusing on desserts. One challenge was a birthday cake for children. We know that children generally have different tastes than adults. I've thought about this before, but never really focused on it before so I turn to the masses: what are dessert flavors that adults like which children generally don't? Here's my first go at a list. Coffee Bitter/bittersweet chocolate Salted Caramel Burnt sugar Passion fruit Cardamom Black walnut Cayenne/Spicy hot Wine I'm sure there are more. What's missing? Thoughts?

Petey the Stone Cold Penguin (Mascot of the sport of Curling) would like to remind us that the Winter Olympics are under way in Korea. Who's watching them? What sports are you watching? Which countries are you rooting for? And how do you watch, if you can? "Sweep! Sweep!"

So, apparently I can't figure out how to work the web site and I messed up a post. My recent post of the "Die For Metal" PMV to the "In Other News" thread was supposed to have text in it but I put the video link in first and then couldn't figure out how to add text. Now, even when I try to reply to that thread and add some words in another post, the video pops up in the text entry area and I can't work out how to put in any text. And so, I would like to humbly request that a mod either 1) add the text "They can't stop us; let 'em try!" before the video (and if you could make it less huge, maybe?) or 2) just remove the post altogether, since I don't have anything to say be…

Shipping: The fine art (and ubiquitous internet hobby) of taking two notably different fictional characters and making them a couple. Here’s your opportunity to do the same, for fun and votes. The Premise: You have been placed in charge of creating a new romantic comedy--TV series, movie, whatever. Copyright law has been suspended (since the same two or three corporations own all the world’s fictional characters anyway), so you are free to choose whatever characters you would like for your show. The Twist: To keep it interesting for your potential viewers, you may use existing characters from any genre except romantic comedy. Science fictio…

Gang as much as it disgusts me, due to me not being able to drive my car since the beginning of Dec, and not being able to squeeze the money to pay for repairs out of my Disability payments (which is my only income). I've had to start a Go Fund Me page to get the money to fix the car before my neighbors get sick and tired of schlepping my carcass (complete with supplemental oxygen tank) to and from the grocery store. https://www.gofundme.com/96qqc-help-me-fix-my-car Thanks in advance to any who donate n matter how much.

I'm trying to figure out how to type this without becoming an apologist for perverts, sleazes, and abusers. I don't want to be that. There's been a spate of men fired for sexually harassing women, or abusing them. Fine. They deserve something, and getting fired is scary and it hurts. So lets say that there was a lot of evidence the guy was bad, but not the Beyond Reasonable Doubt level needed to jail him. There's enough to persuade an employer to fire him. So, does he ever work again? If he does, this feels like when the bad priests just got shuffled off to new churches. The whole point is to make a safe workplace. But if they get pe…

This thread is under general Spoiler Warning, because we will discuss the storyline of Star Trek: Discovery. And there are some pretty damn good twists in that Storyline, that I would not want to spoil for anyone! Proceed on own Risk. I just watched Episode 12 of Discovery. And Holy Mind Blow, I did NOT see that twist comming. But it does make sense: I just could not get a "grasp" on Lorkas Character. Was he a Explorer? A Soldier? Someone with PTSD? Every other Star Trek Captain thus far seemed a lot more "consistent". But with the reveal that he is from the Mirror Universe, it all makes sense now: - he has been impersonating Prime Lorka…

The idea is simple: Given a set of first names, identify the group. Then give a new set of names. Example: Richard, John, George, Paul Answer: The Beatles 'Group' in this context is not necessarily the same as 'Band', although it could be. Let's start with an easy, non-band example: Alan, Mike, David, Loretta, Harry, William, Gary, Jamie

All Glory to V'han for inspiring such amazing, inventive, and oft times outright bizarre musings. Please vote for your top three favorites and no more. A few didn't have titles (More my fault than anyone else's as I asked so late so they'll be listed on the poll by location). A few didn't make it because they never got the card option pick (Sorry, I know RL happens) Your final round picks are: Title: DCEU & Arrowverse crossover. Location: Earth, DC Extended Universe (DCEU) Protagonist 1: Diana Prince, Wonder Woman, DCEU The Dragon: Superman (DCEU) General: Batman, DCEU. Option: The Spear of Destiny. …

I was surfing Facebook yesterday evening when I came across a post by an acquaintance with a photo of a couple I know and the message "RIP to both of you." And then another post by another acquaintance lamenting that they couldn't believe they were gone. At first I thought it was some kind of dark humor. Because so many mutual friends also post to Facebook and would see anything I posted, I'm putting this here to avoid any of them seeing it. It was not humor, dark or otherwise. One of the rapidly multiplying posts about this tragedy had a link to the sheriff's department website in the county where they lived. It reported that sheriff's…

All Your Earths are Belong to V'han! Istvatha V'han, Empress of a Billion Dimensions, has come for your reality! It's full on assault as a council of her best generals have told her now is the time and each strives to prove him or herself by delivering to her an Earth! And that Earth is.. dun dun dun! Yours! This will be a 12 pick Superdraft. Fun bit, because we are dealing with multi-dimensional spill over, the usual rule of 'once you make a pick all versions of them are off the table are gone' does NOT apply as it usually does. If someone gets typical Superman/Clark Kent, someone else may draft Red Son Superman! However, two things. T…

Did all the world suddenly turn into an episode of MTV's Jackass while I was asleep some night? It's one thing for small children to do something this dumb because they're... Well, they're small children and really need to have competent adult supervision. But honestly, once you're 8 years or older you're supposed to know better than to eat a packet of concentrated laundry soap. Some days if I didn't laugh, I'd cry.
