I was really surprised by the trailer for Rainbow Six Siege, thought it was superb (however scripted it may be).

I think any film you show to a child is going to have some aspect some parent somewhere is going to find objectionable. The notion that such films are going to be 'pure' is unrealistic. Also, kids often respond and draw messages differently from adults. In the case of Brave, a young girl is much more likely to take away the idea that she should listen to her parents, specifically her mother, and to cherish the time they have with each other, and not 'I'm a girl and therefore the world treats me unfairly'.

My bet is that Rickon will be the Lord of Winterfell when it all ends. He's the only viable candidate now anyhow. I'm fine with him not having a function in the story up to then as well, not every character has to be.

I'd be surprised if we didn't get an eighth book, based on what we have seen in the last two (i.e., their pacing and content). There's not enough book left to wrap up all the plot threads without the story being rushed.

Thank you Teague. As much as we're all chomping at the bit for any news about these movies, it's best to remain blissfully ignorant.

I saw this today and really liked it. The one main flaw is the whole 'future Pryde must keep mind phase link thingy active for entire time'. Given that the events in '73 occur over multiple days, are we to infer then that Kitty Pryde spent several days sitting motionless over Wolverine and didn't eat, shit or sleep?

I like that, it's catchy.


On the movie, isn't this the one where it opens with Denzel killing a cat?

I watched a couple of episodes a long time ago, she appeared as a guest on TableTop and seemed fun to watch. It's not really my thing but isn't that objectionable. I'm just a little bewildered to see it be touted as a shining light of intelligent, smart YouTube. Eye of the beholder I guess.

It's peculiar to be complaining about providers who cater to the lowest common denominator and then recommend a provider that gets drunk and cooks...

So animators object to being referred to as 'digital make-up artists', but I'd have thought that almost speaks to their disregard of make-up artists -  they do after all play a key role in helping actors create characters.

It also seems that a lot of it is extrapolation and exaggeration of what Andy Serkis has actually said.

How odd, I'm unable to view that page (it's BBC International). Are you able to post a few of the highlights?

I too have that 'cinema glow' coming out, and despite knowing that this feeling is misleading I often still let this form my judgement of the film overall - so I've returned from films like Man of Steel and Star Trek 2 and have posted to the the forum whilst still on the buzz. Mistakes were made.

I walked back on 'Wreck it Ralph' recently, first seeing it with some friends a while ago and then with some of my nephews and nieces; the second time was so much more fun.

I've only seen the first episode of Continuum so maybe she carries it well later. I mostly remember her for being a poor and ill-advised replacement to Jennifer Garner in ALIAS, which is hardly fair to her. Maybe it's like a Natalie Portman sort of thing where she can be pretty bad (as seen in GI Joe and Conan), but can be good given the right direction/material as you say.
