    The Loose Ends of The Avengers

    In regards to Vibrainium; the rare metal (and possible Celestial afterbirth) comes in two forms. Wakandan Vibranium absorbs any vibration, while Antarctic Vibranium causes metals to melt by generating vibrations. Did Stark know of all this. IS the new element Tony 'remade' Vibrainium

    The Big Picture: Captains Courageous

    Well, if you wanted to do Ms. Marvel, I can think of one really good reason to do it... [http://www.flickr.com/photos/bellechere/5570032008/]

    295: Gifted Youngster

    Great article; I like to tell people that the X-men taught me tolerence. Not my parents (who complained that the Asians were stealing our jobs), not my religion (that told me my Sophmore year roommate was sinful), not my school (that said that girls couldn't wear spandex to class...fascist...

    Dead island reveal trailer, piece of art or too far?

    I honestly like this trailer a lot; too bad George Romero couldn't have gotten this level of emotion out of "Survival of the Dead" ;). They really captured the horror of that situation. I mean look at the mother's face when the little girl attacks daddy, or daddy fights his way through the...

    Escape to the Movies: The Kings Speech

    Wow, I never realized how fomulaic Oscar winning films were; and my parents said that MY movies were drivel. So, If they had set Social Network back in WWII, cast all actors with British Accents, and made it more about class struggle and overcoming differences, it would be up for an Oscar...

    The Big Picture: Fair Game

    I've seen this soo much on various forums; everything from pen and paper rpgs to politics. If you like A you must hate B. The one that always gets me is "If you like Star Trek you must hate Star Wars!" that i get from so many fans. Why 'must' that be true? I love both series: one is a rich...

    The Big Picture: Conspiracy Weary

    Have you ever watched "Loose Change"? From what I remember, they claimed that the building had been emptied several times leading up to 9/11 (cleaning crews told not to report or something). Also several people swear to this day that they heard secondary explosions coming from Building 7 just...

    Escape to the Movies: The 2010 MovieBob Awards

    Why does a robot have a mech-stache? 2011 looks like a big year for movies; Several heavy hitters hitting the field, some even in the same month! But there are some that look a bit dodgey: Like Rise of the Apes, which i guess is a PotA prequel? (would love to hear MB's take on that....)...

    The Big Picture: A Nerd By Any Other Name

    I was seriously just having this conversation with my brother today: Paint your body half orange, half Brown, wear a dog mask and wave a bone in the air, you're a Browns fan; but paint your body blue, put on a cat mask and wave a recreation of a Na'vi spear in the air, and you are a...

    The Big Picture: The Devil & Mr. Parker

    First of all, I thought we had "Ultimate Spiderman" because people wanted a younger, single, more approachable hero, not one mired in 40 years of continuity; but as the Ultimate Universe got off message (it pretty much looks like regular marvel, with more grit and swearing, and a few male...

    In Brightest Day

    As far as "Geek-a-palooza" (my new name for 2011; sooo many geek movies) goes, GL is my wild card. There seems to be a lot of fan division on this movie based on questions on casting, CGI, and possible story changes. Also, while as a comic guy, I know alot of this movie has to happen in...

    Escape to the Movies: Dungeons & Dragons

    I would love to see a good D&D movie; perhaps picking one of "worlds" that TSR/Wizards of the Coast have created would work. Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Ebberon, would probably be the best ones. Found out from my mom that many of the "Christian" people she used to work with warned her that D&D was...

    Escape to the Movies: Comic-Con 2010

    Ok, Saw a few people asking about 3:03. I will attempt to answer. The object pictured at 3:03 is the "Cosmic Cube", basicly an object that lets you manipulate all reality. It was created by AIM (evil group that tried to take over the world through science) in the mainstream marvel universe...

    Escape to the Movies: Comic-Con 2010

    Everything is going as I have forseen.... Just kidding. I had doubts as to Thor but then I saw the trailer: And My doubts got a lil bit weaker. The Gauntlet? Really? And the Red Skull looking for the Cosmic Cube (poor man's Infinity Gauntlet)? Honestly, Marvel might want to dial...

    Escape to the Movies: Toy Story 3

    Well, as someone who's old enough to have a kid Andy's age, I can say I honestly did tear up at the end. Which puts it up there with Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan on my list of movies where I had to fake contact lens issues to try to keep some guy bravado. But, as my date said...
