From the Vault: Iron Man II (2010)

That link didn't work, Chief.  But I was able to find one that did:

I loved this movie, myself.  It wasn't the awesomeness of the first IM film, but it was totally enjoyable.

Was it complicated and chaotic?  Yup.  But so is Tony Stark. 

Spoiler
I cringed to see him drunk and partying in the armor, knowing something bad was going to happen and feeling the tension.  Yeah, it set up the fight between Tony and Rhodey, but more importantly it showed him coming apart.  And the fight itself set up Rhodey becoming War Machine.

It did a decent job bringing SHIELD into Tony's world, setting up the Avengers movie, and portraying his emotional state.  It did all of that and it was fun besides.

Not to mention much can be forgiven after watching the briefcase armor suit up...  The geek-cool factor shot through the roof.

Yeah, I forgot to mention... Major Spoilers had a massive crash and lost all content posted after March 11th, so any link after the JLA TV series is no good (except for the one I posted today, natch). I'll update youalls when my content is back online.

Back from a week break:

From the Vault: Batman: The Movie (1966)
Funny thing about this movie....

When I was 5, my mom took me to see it as part of a free series of kid friendly movies a local theater had for the summer.  At the time, I was bored and thought it was dumb. 

For many years I kept this impression and then one slow saturday on campus while I was in college, I was flipping channels and came across it already in progress and suddenly came to realize that it was frickin' hilarious and unlike how it had been originally presented, this was NOT a kid's flick, not because of "mature"  subjects or anything like that, but because you need a few years under your belt in order to get the camp.

"Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it's the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters." - Greg Rucka


Glitch Girl

Indeed.  I remember a group of us seeing that in my dorm room in college.  We didn't expect much, but we died expect more than what they gave us.

It's a nice review, but in relating the history of the Muppets, you missed there couple of years foray into Youtube only internet videos, which led to this movie being made.  The muppets did disappear for a while, but until the movie was made, there was a steady stream of original Youtube Muppet videos, most of which are awesome.
I am the cat that walks by himself, all ways are alike to me.

The Hitman

That's very true, Cat, and I probably should've included the Youtube stuff, but I was trying to stick mainly to TV and film appearances from the Muppets.

The Hitman

OK, I know this should probably be  in Comics, but I think 3 different threads linking to one site is a bit ridiculous. I picked 6 books from my pull this week at random and super-briefly covered them. You can read it here if you like.

The Hitman

Hey lookit! I wrote some stuff!

...

OK, so it's not a movie review. However, I don't want to start a new thread just for more shameless self-promotion.

The Hitman

Wow, I think I'm the only one who reads this thread...

Anydangways, the first episode of my podcast went up last night. Check it out, won't you?
