This week it'll be Slither, but I am thusly reminded to, when editing Slither, potentially edit up Priest as well and hide it in a secret link somewhere.

Dude, we should do that. Hide it in a secret link somewhere on the site. Lemme talk to Holden.

I see. Another "fix-it" weekend, like the Lost World/Temple of Doom double-feature. How exciting!

^so that's why I was so certain DIF had already DIFed I2. I searched the archive but couldn't find it so thought my mind was playing tricks on me. 

hopefully they'll do this one after Tron  rather than before it, cos usually whenever there's a double helping I fall asleep shortly into No2.

Yay Tron Legacy, the most boring action-adventure movie ever made, except for maybe the first Tron. It kills me how a studio can spend 200 million dollars on a movie like that and have maybe 15 minutes of action in the entire thing. On top of that Joseph Kasinski shoots everything with this weird detached style so there's 0 excitement at any point. This should've been an exciting escape-from-the-computer/chase movie, instead its people talking exposition at each other.

Also, I really hope you guys address Chekhov's light-cycle in this movie.

"See that over there, that was your Dad's old light-cycle, still the fastest thing on the grid"

Next scene

Sam gives it away to a random homeless guy and its never seen or used again

I think its more that its just the lamest way of using it imaginable. In a good movie, if you introduce the bike like that, you expect it to play a role in the climax, unless they're explicitly trying to break conventions, which I don't think is the case here. It's like if they just used the Millennium Falcon once to fly from one planet to a second planet, and it never showed up again.

I live on the East Coast, where we are currently experiencing an inexplicable blizzard, and we've evacuated our house, so I'll be watching this show from the safety of a hotel room. It'll be like an adventure!

Hopefully not many people from England will miss the first hour cos we've just had the clocks turned back  and iiuc you don't do that in America (or at least not yet).

I know the Iron Man 2 commentary hasn't been released yet but you guys were trying to work out why they cast a different Howard Stark in Captain America but you didn't come to the most obvious conclusion- they needed to cast an actor 20-whatever years younger than John Slattery. I don't think it is for any reason other than that

Was it? They did mention Howard Stark in Captain America in the same conversation though. I must have misheard

(I had forgotten that Howard was even in the first film )
