  1. I'm not the biggest Adam Driver fan, but I think that was because the Star Wars offerings he was involved in were a HUGE let down for me. I actually thought he did pretty well in Logan Lucky so I'm going to tell myself it was the script not the actor. He could look the part of Reed at least.

    Margot Robbie should be fine, again with the right script.  She's versatile.

    I don't know Paul Mescal so cant' even say.

    I adore Daveed Diggs , fun performer. He's not who I picture as Ben Grimm for the voice but the guy is talented as hell. However, I  SURE hope they pull a Sammy Davis Jr. And make him Jewish anyway. Lawnmower Boy said it more eloquently than I why.

     

    That said it wouldn't be a movie breaker for me if these folks were confirmed.

     

    According to that article none of this is confirmed as official. It's possible things could be swapped around.

     

  2.     "There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. ... What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams."

    That is probably how it would go, I mean, youtubers seem to get what a lot of corporations do not: publicity is good, even if it seems to dig into your property.  I foresee a time when modern copyright laws will be all but gone.

     

    I don't know about that last part. Historically, corporations have done their level best to extend copyrights via congress far beyond what was ever intended. But I should keep my full thoughts there to the political thread I suppose. I certainly hope the duration of copyright are vastly reduced from what they are now but I know not all agree

  4. Yesterday's pick today...

    Nightcrawler and Firebird dating!

    Mary Marvel gets a bit of a crush on Invincible

    Love is definitely in the air in Vegas, at least for some...

     

    So who better to complete another couple than...

     

    Option Pick #2: Titania (Mary MacPherran)

    Absorbing Man and she will be the unwilling brawn to Queen Bee and Screenslaver's brains and tech...

    but the two masterminds may yet find the power couple in question are far less forgiving than their heroic counterparts

    The stated traits of House Slytherin are cunning, resourcefulness, leadership, and ambition, and Kirk exemplifies at least three of those.  He also had a penchant for deception and cheating when he deemed it necessary, of which his solution to the Kobayashi Maru scenario is only the most obvious example. 

    I'd buy this. Like anyone else , what he favored would be taken into account, but he would do well in Slytherin

     

     

    I can't decide if Garak is Slytherin, or the most ruthless Ravenclaw in the class

  6. I have three options... two due as of today.

    Well, I could use an archer, of course. This will help prevent suckage. Of course I can't use my own list...sorry, Oliver.

    I could also use a psychic because hey, we got mind controlling villains.

    And, you know, someone with leadership skills might be useful!

    Which to pick, which to pick... oh wait...

    how about someone who is all three?

    And with Asgardian ties on top of it!

    Option Pick #1: Danielle Moonstar!

  7. Okay, saw Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 last night.

    At times, the High Evolutionary was a petulant man child, but you know what? That worked for me!  And it was great to see a villain that was rotten to the core as opposed to 'they're just misunderstood' that , while it can be well done, I sometimes DO get a bit tired of the 'see the villain is a good guy from another point of view' push writers often love because it's almost overdone imo.

     

    One thing I absolutely loved in this ? Star Lord is COMPETENT! Yes, he's still funny, but too often in the MCU he's been portrayed as this idiot butt monkey instead of the fast on his feet sneaky guile hero who yeah, can be a bit dorky , in Vol 1. Well, that character is back, and in a big way. Yes, he's a wreck over his losses, but he's also got brain cells and heart.

     

    As for Rocket? We've all got dead people, and in this, we learn who Rocket's 'Dead People' are. While every character gets a moment, and some development... this is definitely Rocket's story overall.

     

    Oh, and perhaps the biggest spoiler of the movie....

    Cosmo is a good dog!

     

     

  8. When one is to face the machinations of not one, but two women with the power to bend thousands to their will, it helps if the twin sisters of Fate and Chance are so kind as to offer up a man of particular focus with a chance of resisting both. From the seed of evil, a righteous tree may yet spring if it keeps reaching towards the heights of light; though such a man is rare.

     

    Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu.. is that man.

     

    Today's Pick: Shang-Chi
