The Bullpen / Re: Captain America: Winter Soldier: The Toys!

I saw the new Cap today from the 6" figure line.  One thing I noticed with this figure along with the 3.75" figure is the different shield.  That does seem to be a potentially significant plot point.  I guess we'll learn more in a month when the movie comes out!

A fairly lengthy clip has been posted on YouTube.  And it turns out that another character from the Captain America comics has made his way into the new movie.  MMA and UFC fans will instantly know Georges St-Pierre, but may not be completely familiar with the character he's playing.

It looks like the 2013 Holiday season was not such a good one for TRU.  Ailing Toys ‘R’ Us to lay off nearly 200 employees.

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Yeah I tried to watch it because I like hbo shows and try to check them out but it was just not my thing.  I'm sure others love it.  Oh well.

I did too.  HBO's got such a great track record with their original series.  But I think Girls is just geared towards this Millenial audience that I simply don't identify with.

Girls sucks to me like I'd say Star Wars sucks (in theory) to her.  I've met a lot of women who never saw Star Wars at all do I'm not shocked really.  Her show gets lots of praise so I assume it's just not my cup of tea is all.  Plus call me a pig on this but she's naked in it often and that's something I'm not into witnessing.

I have seen a few episodes of Girls, and like you didn't really care for it. I don't think I'm the target audience though. Anyway, I am curious to see Lena's performance in Episode 7. It should be interesting to say the least.

Wait, she was the one who got cast, right?  :P

Wait....  so Lena Dunham WASN'T CAST as Leia's Brooklyn dwellling hipster/slacker/ne're-do-well daughter?

It's about RELAVENCE.  And CONTEXT.  If JJ Abrams or Larry Kasdan were making comments like those in her tweet, I might care.  But since Lena Dunham has NOTHING to do with the production of Episode VII, I take her comments for what they are:  MEANINGLESS.

People spend an awful lot of time getting bent out of shape over things that mean absolutely ******* nothing.

Defensive much? 

As much as we, the fans who take part in discussions on a Star Wars collecting website, are into Star Wars... NEWS FLASH!  Not the rest of the world is.

I can't help but think of what a complete and utter waste of time it is to give a flying **** what Lena Dunham of all people thinks about Star Wars.

Fist Baddie for EP7?!

Boy is Lena Dunham a douche.

Lena Dunham is too young to appreciate/understand Star Wars.  I'm not going to fault her for that.  It's just not her thing.

As for Adam Driver?  I think he plays his character well on Girls, although I wouldn't say I'm a fan of the series.  His character has been written to be somewhat unlikeable on that show.  Although I think he was alright in Inside Llewyn Davis.  In interviews he seems like a very different guy from the characters he's portrayed.

Anyhow, the leak about his casting seems like it's probably come from his agent rather than the studio.  With that in mind I don't know if this is a done deal.

Check out the press conference about Marvel's upcoming Netflix series The Defenders.  It's set to begin production and will shoot in New York City, where the stories are set.  On hand for the presser were Marvel's Joe Quesada, Disney head Bob Iger and NY state governor Andrew Cuomo.

Plus, I'm curious about a kiss in there... I know who the man is, but I must be mistaken about the woman, but maybe her profile is similar to another character's?

Think back to the pilot for the series and the final scene.

The same story ran in Variety, too.  The Variety piece went on to say that Michael Fassbender and Hugo Weaving had also been under consideration for a villain role as well.

Don't go getting peoples hopes up like that.

Doom seems played out after the two previous FF films.  I'd actually be more interested if they went even more old school and opted for the Mole Man and his Subterraneans.  Having those giant creatures busting through from beneath the streets would be kind of cool in a Pacific Rim sort of way.

Very nice.  The Sifo Dyas story alone will make this interesting to check out.  And Yoda going to Dagobah?  I honestly did not see that coming.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: A thread about concerts.
« on: February 24, 2014, 09:28 PM »
I've got tickets for a couple of pretty cool shows coming up within a couple of weeks.  First, Elvis Costello & The Imposters!  I've been wanting to see him live for years, and tickets to this show were a pretty amazing Christmas gift.

Later on that same week?  The Allman Brothers Band at NYC's Beacon Theater.  When word came out that the two guitarists for the ABB would be leaving the group at the end of this year I saw the writing on the wall that this could be the end of the Allmans.  So I was determined to get tickets to see the Allmans during their month-long residency at one of the best venues in New York.  Tickets went fast, but I was able to get them.  And sure enough, after we got tickets the news came out from Gregg Allman that the ABB would cease touring at the end of this year, which marks their 45th anniversary as a band.

The season 4 trailers are looking good so far.  The "Vengeance" trailer left me wondering about a few scenes that are included.  One character in particular at the end was a little curious.  Could it have been Coldhands?
