Thor felt like a pointless movie. There was very little action and also very little plot or character development, it was a two hour commercial for The Avengers. Still need to see Captain America, but I don't expect much at this point.

GLaDOS 07-10-2012 10:11 AM

Thor was actually really quite funny I thought. Then again, I can't really remember seeing as I saw it about a year ago.

OANST 07-10-2012 10:14 AM

I did laugh a lot, but not for reasons they intended.

Laser 07-10-2012 10:14 AM

I can understand why people thought Thor was a stupid film. It is. For the most part. I did enjoy Thor as a human though, I thought that was very fun and interesting way to do it instead of going all "Viking in the 21st Century" I feared they were going to do.

Captain America was the better film, far less stupid.

Mr. Bungle 07-10-2012 12:54 PM

I haven't seen Thor, but I thought Captain America was a great movie. Not as good as the Iron Man films, but still great. I have a feeling the sequel will be even better.

Avengers is still my favourite Marvel movie to date, however.

Rewatched all 7 episodes of Brass Eye. Chris Morris is a genius.

Been watching a lot of Futurama, specifically the third season. It's around when they really hit their stride with creative, interesting storylines packed with a lot of hilarity and emotion. Top notch stuff. You just can't top Luck of the Fryish.

Also watching more of The Wire. Just finished the episode "The Cost" or, the one where the lesbian gets shot.


Holy fucking shit this might be one of the best shows I've watched.

Just seen some of Pen Ward's earlier work, like Bravest Warriors, it was really nice animation. Well to me. But the "tickle monster" was a bit camp. Also Sneezy has some of the best music in a short clip ever.

The first season of Adventure Time came out on dvd yesterday. I think I'll buy it today.

Daxter King 07-11-2012 11:54 AM

Everything Must Go.

Was alright.

You just put salt in his wound. It's not out in the UK and he's gutted about it.

OANST 07-11-2012 12:11 PM

I'll take a diarrhea shit in his wound if it means I can watch Adventure Time.

Varrok 07-11-2012 12:15 PM

You'd be able to watch Adventure Time after you did it.

OANST 07-11-2012 12:18 PM

Consider it done then.

Varrok 07-11-2012 12:23 PM

You'd be able to watch it even if you didn't, but whatever... Have fun

MeechMunchie 07-11-2012 12:45 PM

That seems slightly unhygenic.

GLaDOS 07-11-2012 12:50 PM

I could get it but my dvd player doesn't play Region 1 dvd's. And also, I'll pass on the wound disruption, I don't want to get ill.

OANST 07-11-2012 02:14 PM

I just bought the dvd. Diarrhea shittin' all over that wound, bitches!

Varrok 07-11-2012 02:15 PM

Spread the happiness!

Laser 07-11-2012 02:19 PM

Watched The Thing (the original) not too long ago. What a fantastic film. Well acted, simple if effective storytelling and the special effects, while dated, were disgusting!

I will say that the ending was kind of a bit... 'bleh'. It was basically a boss fight and it had no horror or tension in it what so ever.

OANST 07-11-2012 02:39 PM

When you say you saw the original, I think you mean the John Carpenter version, which is not the original. Unless I'm wrong. In which case, I'm wrong.

Sekto Springs 07-11-2012 02:45 PM

Even if John Carpenter's was the original, it would be erroneous to refer to it as such since the new one is technically a prequel, not a remake.

Also, for all of those who saw the prequel and resented the crappy use of CGI as much as I did, here's a little something that will piss you off even more (embedding disabled for some reason).

You can actually see a good buddy of mine sculpting one of the creatures at about 3:20. He was the one who first told me that all the awesome animatronic fx he and his team did were thrown out.

OANST 07-11-2012 02:48 PM

I didn't mean that I could be wrong about the John Carpenter version being the original. It's not. I meant I could be wrong about which one he watched.

Sekto Springs 07-11-2012 02:48 PM

Only now?

Nepsotic 07-11-2012 02:53 PM

I actually enjoyed the prequel. Though nowhere near as much as Carpenters one.
E: And I guess I'm a speedy shit, too.

OANST 07-11-2012 02:54 PM

Only now.

OANST 07-11-2012 02:54 PM

I prefer the original to all others. Including the John Carpenter version.

Nepsotic 07-11-2012 02:58 PM

Hmm, am I talking about the right one? The one from the 70's is my favourite, I'm not sure which one that is.

What about the guy at 0:34? Yeah, the one with the stretchy jaws. Seems like a fun guy to have around.

OANST 07-11-2012 03:23 PM

It was made in 51.
