Newest X-men: Days of Future Past trailer
I'm not a proponent of Fox's treatment of their X-men franchise. I've gone to every one dreading how they were going to mistreat or just plain shit upon every character other than Wolverine, but damn this trailer is starting to make me actually look forward to seeing XMDoFP.
Tenative buy.

Yeah that was a good movie. I got it because of Hemsworth, but I was really impressed with the guy who played Nicky Lauda in that.

Mmmmm OK. I'm a self admitted Star Trek Geek... but "Into the Darkness"... Just saw it, and It seems to me that It was just one big apology to the ST Universe trying to hit as many "Big ST Universe" TOS Moments in one movie as possible.
Sad... JJ Abrams is sad... Unless the next movie is Fantastic... then he's a frigging hero. TBD.

He's not doing the next one. Paramount hasn't said who they're getting to direct ST3. I like Into Darkness my brother and a couple of my friends hates it though. My big problem with it was how unfortunately the marketing for the film was handled. They should have used the fact that Cumberbatch was playing Kahn IMO not denied it to anyone and everyone that asked.

Sadly... I've not kept up with the reboot like I thought I would. I did not see it in the theater for personal reasons... but I wanted to. Saw it tonight and was a little sad.
I'm glad JJ is not doing the next one, But at least he set the reboot version is set up for some new stuff after covering as many highlights as he did.

We got it for the racing element but they were both great performances. You're right Daniel Brühl as Lauda was especially good. Was pleasantly surprised by Hemsworth, I'll admit.

Also, 'Justified'.
Bloody hell. And that was before the opening credits had even shown!

The rape scene in the latest episode of Game of Thrones was very different than how it came across to me in the book. It was also awful. Not just, hey that's not good TV awful, but that really makes my skin crawl awful. I'm not against a show like GoT, which wallows in how awful humanity can be, showing a great deal of awful. It seems reasonable and typical.
But this rape seems misplaced. In the book, while forceful and unkind, it is not without consent. It isn't really a rape so much as a loveless rutting. There's a difference and it is important to how we regard Jaime Lannister. Jaime becomes a guy we can cheer in the show, one of the rare few, and appreciate. How do you appreciate him after that?

I haven't watched the new season, too busy. However, this worries me a bit. I have read through all the books and really hated Jamie in the beginning, but my opinions changed over time. Now, I think everything may have all been a waste if this is the direction they chose for the show.

Looking back, this post just made me feel gross. So I took it down, and I apologize for posting it in the first place.

The more I watch The Amazing Spiderman movies, the more I like them. (I just assume I'm going to like the second one.)

I was disturbed with the scene overall. It looked significantly more like rape than I would have liked, and it made it very hard for me to continue to want to cheer for Jaime. Which really makes me angry, because I've really begun to like him over the last couple of seasons. I was conflicted in the midst of the scene, too, though. I feel like originally it started definitely looking like a rape scene. Then somewhere in the middle it turned into less rape and more reluctance - but Cersei appeared to want it somewhere in there. And then there at the end it was definitely rape. Somewhere in between her saying 'It's not right,' it turned to her outright saying 'no.'
I agree it's going to be infinitely difficult for them to bring him back from that brink, to make him even remotely likeable again.

I haven't started it yet, Starry. Let me know how you find the first episode. I'm taking a break from binge-watching shows at the minute. I have a few queued up in my netflix, Battlestar Galactica, Justified, Reaper...
No idea where to start.

I can highly recommend Battlestar Galactica. Great series and it actually has an ending that does not suck.
