What's the latest movie you've seen?

I hated when they did it with Superboy on "Young Justice", too, where they made him the "Angry Raph Type" just because every group needs one, even though he's never, ever been that character otherwise. But the group needed a "Raph", because group shows deal in archetypes exclusively, so who needs consistent characterization?

I'unno.

I have to agree with you on your opinion on the movie and Superboy in young justice. One thing that bothered me with Young Justice (Even though I like the show) was that the relationship between Robin, Superboy and Impulse from the comics was non existent.

[Leo656]

Agreed. Love the show, but it only works best if you disregard the comics. And I hate doing that. But everyone acts so different that even though it's very very close, it's not at all the same universe. Plus they over-douched Superman on that show, also. Totally over-sold his confused feelings towards Superboy. Another example of "we have to do these things in order to make the story work", which, to me, is kind of lackluster storytelling. Instead of taking the characters and the traits as have been established and using them to tell your story, so many comic adaptations keep the name, the costume, and little or nothing else, then deflect criticism with "Well, it's a different continuity." Well, if you can get away with that, I'm going to write an alternative-continuity version of the Bible where Jesus was a dinosaur.

Because that would so rule, if he did that.

And yet still, even with that said, Young Justice is Game of Thrones compared to Teen Titans Go!

The Terminal. I liked it. 8/10

Keeping Up with the Steins
X-Men: The Last Stand

As I started to watch X-Men: The Last Stand, I actually forgot that Jean Grey died in X2.

[Leo656]

Ha! I find the first three X-Men movies to be lots of fun when you're watching them, and very easy to forget exactly what the hell happened in them soon after. I haven't seen any of them past the third, though. I like 1 and 2 but for some reason they don't stick in my head the way a lot of other comic movies do.

It's funny, I'm the same way with those 3 as well... They're good movies, but yeah their storylines just kind of dribble out you ears shortly after watching.

Watched the first X-Men movie again last night. We've got the X-Men & Wolverine BluRay pack with all 6 movies so we decided to watch them chronologically (not by release date). So we already watched First Class & Wolverine Origins. Only problem with watching them this way is that it points out holes in the storylines and character priblems a lot more. But hey, it's fun stuff anyhow!

I don't usually just plumb forget the movies though. It's just that at the beginning of The Last Stand, where Wolverine talks to Scott about Jean's death, I wondered what he was talking about and I thought she'd die later on in the movie. She did, but it was as the Phoenix. I also remember Jean dying, and somehow I thought she'd die as Jean. I didn't forget about Scott and Professor X dying though.

In a nutshell, my brain just does odd things.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Superman: The movie. I really liked it. Very very good.

[RaphAndDonnie]

"Cherrybomb" Decent flick and I liked Rupert Grint but I wasn't big on the fact that they did all of that stupid stuff to impress that girl. I'd probably liked it better if it were just an average love story and not raunchy just for the sake of it.

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

Watched Gravity last night.... Amazing!! A wonderful example of how less is more! I spend the whole movie crying, screaming at the TV for her to catch onto something or white knuckle holding onto my chair... Just a breathtaking film cinematicly as well! Not an easy film to watch, has some heavy emotions in there but it was just superb all the way around.

It's called Powder.

Knights of Badassdom, apparently they shot the movie a long time ago, before Game of Thrones anyway, and are only just now releasing it. It has Peter Dinklage and a bunch of other people you've probably seen.

Its about a bunch of LARPers who accidentally summon a demon and all that ensues!

Pretty funny at times, and some really sweet heavy metal-esque music.

It's low budget so don't epxect it to be that visually impressive. Has a nice monster though.

Transformers. Michael Bay version.
