Anyone who disagrees with my ranking of Marvel films is worse than Ide.

Why does ranking marvel films matter? It's not like they are stand alone projects that can be compared.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Saw Silicon Valley last night.

I didn't realize James Altucher was involved, and that made me more interested. I really liked the first show, but I'm wondering how it can continue being entertaining for too long. Maybe it's planned for one season.

No idea who that is, but enjoyed it. I don't think Mike  Judge has it planned for only one season :unsure:

Congrats, you made The List.(tm)

And you're supposed to be an artist.   :rolleyes:

Now, I need to know the reason... is it because I think the Burton Batman films haven't aged well or is it because I said Batman Returns was my favorite?  :P

Sadly, there is no middle ground when it comes to Burton Batmans beyond the first.   :mad:

[spoiler]Nice to see that they finally have put the chips down of Ian's bipolar disorder. I didn't quite guess at it/realized I was buying the stated narrative that he was always on drugs.

I'm a little confused as to why the return of Jimmy/Steve is being touted as a shocker by entertainment rags. It always seemed liked a distinct possibility given that we didn't see him die. Apparently though they'd kept season finale reveal from the cast as well.[/spoiler]

Yeah, I was actually kind of disappointed by it, though I love Mia Wasikowska and think she is one of the highlights of my generation.

No, I draw the line at doing that.

I bet it's included in the upgraded "4 Days in the Islands" package, you saucy little minx, you.

My MCU rankings. First four I'd consider good, five to seven mixed, the eight and nine are pretty weak.

1. Iron Man
2. Cap 2
3. Avengers
4. Thor
5. Cap
6. Iron Man 3
7. Incredible Hulk
8. Thor 2
9. Iron Man 2
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well sure. Money can buy everything that's useful.
