Gotcha! Thanks for responding.

Corporations are only faceless when one forgets that they are made up of talented people, many of whom work darn hard and take pride in their work. When a Corporation gathers enough of those talents to provide products that people are willing to spend their hard earned money to purchase to the tune of about $3B, that's worth noticing and acknowledging.

*Raises hand* Wouldn't TFA be counted in the 2015 total?

As someone who prior to seeing RO was vaguely familiar with Yen and had no idea of Wen's existance, I liked the way each portrayed his respective character, but favor Wen's Baze Malbus. With mostly body language and facial expressions, he marvelously depicted Malbus as jaded and disillusioned but still willing to keep the window opened just a sliver for - I'm going to say it - hope to seep in via Imwe.

In other words: Baze was tremendous!

Saw it tonight. LOVED IT! The theater that sits over 700 was about 80% full.

He had a great career. Dr. Bombay ties with Uncle Arthur as my favorite Bewitched character. Who can forget that laugh: "BAH HA! BAH HA HA!"

Not the politics thread.

With splosions!

Oh, boy.

For a moment there I thought Evans had actually recreated that scene.

People would be offended by this for the same reason they would be if it were "anti-woman" or "racist". And most films nowadays don't even consider religion, let alone pander to it. If anything they pander to political correctness, in any of its various manifestations.

ROTFL! Boy, you're on a roll!

LOL! OMGosh, you're right! But, in my defense, Aquaman's hair color did play an important role in his story as well as provide a clever turn-of-phrase on social commentary. Legolas' hair just meant that he belonged to a certain group of elves. Don't ask me how I know any of that.

This is such a great post. And it provides another example of the befuddlement that is the DCEU. DC has everything it needs to fill the series with quality movies: the most recognizable characters in the world, characters with a looooooong history, a multi-year head start over Fox and Marvel, a climate in which comic book movies rule the roost, and a general audience willing to give each movie a fair shot. And somehow DC has managed to mishandle all of it. If they mess up Aquaman (and I'm already displeased that they will portray him as a dark-haired instead of as blond-haired, because his hair color meant something profound in the comic story line) then I'm done with them.

It's my way of getting back at you for replacing the eating-cheetos-with-chopsticks avatar. Hello hath no fury....

Maybe there's a place for him at Marvel.

Du Jour means love!

Special effects by Billy!

I'll be surprised if this doesn't get a sequel. Whether it deserves it aside, they may lower the budget and try again.

Needs pecans.

That too.
