Still mostly turning over ( reactions to the Accords plotline )

Saw the latest Marvel offering last night, and I feel a mighty need to ramble about many things. This is not a review so much as me working out various ideas as I think through them but ( spoilers abound under the cut )

Interesting article about the whole "Han shot first" thing and how the internet has changed how people interact with works and their creators ( Read more... )

Finally got around to seeing The Battle of the Five Armies today, so film-specific spoilers ( under the cut: )

There's a new trailer out soon apparently, but I've seen a few posters, including this one of Thorin, Fili and Kili apparently battling a troll.

So there is a download of David Tennant and Cathering Tate in Much Ado About Nothing available (not yet DVD sadly, though there was a release date that seems to have now vanished) at Digital Theatre. It took running 4 different Microsoft installations to get it to work, but it was totally worth it (and if you have Adobe AIR already it won't be an ( Read more... )
