Yep. Logical character progression that generally follows the comic book character arc (the better arcs, anyway).
-
Hilarious. Identical three favorite X-Men, though Nightcrawler was my preferred X-Man. I bought about 50 issues of Excalibur just because he was in it.
-
I also like the non-mechanical Reavers (which I assume are the militant bad guys). This story should be small, local, and grounded. Put the punch in the emotional baggage, not sci-fi wizardry. You mentioned Sinister. I have neither seen nor heard his name mentioned in reference to this movie. Did I miss something? I admit I haven't paid much attention to the lead-up to this trailer, as I was so disgusted by Apocalypse and never cared for Wolverine that much in the first place. I think Jackson is a fantastic Logan, I've just never been that into the character (probably because everyone else my age worshipped at the alter of Wolverine as a child).
-
Yeah, no kidding. Magneto was so good in First Class and Days of Future Past. Then Singer lost focus of the character. When he joined Apocalypse in the third film, I literally exclaimed "Oh, **** YOU!" at my television screen. It was a complete betrayal of the character, both who he was before and who was to become in later films. Magneto does not want to bring about the end of the world. It's questionable that Magneto is even interested in ruling the world. He wants mutant dominance... and not even dominance in many cases. He's most often pursuing mutant security, probably an enclave, a safe haven. He doesn't participate in the wholesale murder of other mutants because he respects all other mutants. He's trying to further the mutant cause and bring all mutants to his side, not kill those who disagree. It's what makes the Xavier/Magneto relationship so great. And the notion that he'd participate in a world-ending event, essentially genocide, out of which he was borne, is ludicrous. Magneto is an enduring, interesting character because he's not a paper-thin villain. He's not a bad guy. He's a complex, rich character with very specific goals. Sometimes those goals are noble. In many cases, maybe even most cases, they are noble goals. It's the means he uses to achieve those goals that are villainous.

Yeah, it's a new measure used by ISPs under the rationale of "fairness". Because if you only use 5GB of data a month, they obviously charge you less. Everybody knows that.
-
Wiping Magneto from one's memory in the third film of an X-Men trilogy seems to be a recurring theme.
-
You might want to check back with them. I believe Comcast is in the process of changing all caps to 1TB. That will probably serve your needs, though it's pretty iffy for mine.
-
Yeah, agreed. I think it's a play on the Shadowcat/Jubilee dynamic through the 80s and 90s and it's a good dynamic to play with in the film. And I suspect that little girl is X-23, though possibly without all the clone mumbo-jumbo nonsense.
-
God, I loved that show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09QsPmSCyGw I woke up my wife during this episode because I was literally crying from laughter. Kneeling in front of Christ the Redeemer was too much for me bear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NK5OKOHCa8

I thought the idea was a lot better than its implementation. Old Man Logan was a great idea if told through the lens of a small, heartfelt story about Logan's journey. Instead, the story blew up into a massive "let's kill everybody and rain death upon the world" throwdown. In short, it turned into an absurdly violent superhero story and kinda forgot it was supposed to be about Logan.
-
Hey, I mentioned both You're the Worst and The Get Down. Because my taste is impeccable.
-
I just... I... wow. I can't even. Just wow. Talk about hitting all the right notes and playing up audience investment in a character whose time is near an end. Best comic book movie trailer ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbug3zTm3Ws
-
Where do you live and what's your data limit? Comcast just implemented a 1TB limit for me and I pretty routinely go over that threshold. I get two free months of overage but will probably end up moving to CenturyLink's gigabit service, which has no limit.

Can the Twins Afford to Release Mauer?
Brock Beauchamp replied to mudcat14's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Either way, you don't discard useful players because the manager won't use them correctly. You either find a way to get the manager to see things your way or you find a way to get rid of the manager. -
Can the Twins Afford to Release Mauer?
Brock Beauchamp replied to mudcat14's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
His split is to the dominant side of the plate and he's competent defensively. Limiting him to 200 PAs is bad use of platooning unless Vargas and/or Park play at a much higher level than they have to this point. Something between 350-450 PAs is the target area for a guy who posted a .272 / .383 / .793 line against RHP last season. And then there's the defensive value Mauer brings over either one of those guys. Mauer had a +6 DRS and 1.3 UZR last season. Lefty split guys get 200 PAs, not righty split guys. They get somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 PAs. -
It was embarrassing and awful, just like the two before it.
-
I saw a video of the guy going around Facebook today.
-
SlingTV is pretty much the same thing, also available on Roku.
-
How does anyone watch Lee Camp without activating their gag reflex? That guy is one of the least funny mother****ers on the planet. Oy. I can't stand him. He tries so, so hard to be Stewart/Colbert but he. just. is. not. funny.

The thing about Clinton is that she doesn't really misstep in these situations. She's a notorious preparer and while she won't outright dominate someone in a single move, it's also unlikely she fumbles in the open field. It would take a damning revelation - I mean something really bad - to move the needle substantially at this point. I expect Clinton to spend the night in a prevent defense because she has more to lose than gain in the final debate.
-
Yeah, I expect to see pretty big gains over the next 2-4 weeks as earnings season gets rolling. Most of my tech stocks seem to be in pretty good shape.
-
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on that as well and noticed a dramatic shift over the past 7-10 days. One more misstep by Trump and this thing could get really ugly for the GOP.
-
Tonight is Trump's last gasp. Clinton has been holding steady at 87-88% on FiveThirtyEight for the past 7-8 days so it appears that's her natural threshold unless something changes.
-
True, midterms have been shaky for democrats for awhile now.
