Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Avengers (and sequels)
« on: May 16, 2015, 11:44 AM »
I was finally able to go out and see it last night.  Definitely going to need to see it again before I rank it in terms of the other MCU movies.  I think my main 'problem' was that I saw it with my wife who is not a big fan of continuous fighting scenes, so she had pretty much checked out by the time they made it to South Africa...

*Spoilers* in my commentary.

I definitely enjoyed it and continue to laugh at the unexpected humor (e.g., Hawkeye talking about Quicksilver).  But some of the opening fight scenes were too over the top/CGI for my liking (thinking when Cap throws the motorcycle).  I know that we are talking about a Superhero movie though so I take that stuff in stride.

I thought that Spader was the perfect voice for Ultron.  But not having been a die-hard Avengers comic book fanboy, the introduction of the Ultron project by Stark/Banner and then the realization of it in the movie was a bit too fast for my understanding/liking.  It was as if the entire backstory of it had already been introduced in another movie that I had missed and I wasn't in on the information...

I'm going to miss having J.A.R.V.I.S. as the voice/operating system inside the Iron Man suits.  Not sure how I feel about F.R.I.D.A.Y. yet and will have to see how things go in Cap 3 before I finalize that opinion.

So overall, another solid, entertaining and enjoyable Marvel production that I'm sure will rank high on my list once I've had a chance to dissect it over and over again.

Glad she's doing well Rob.  Our Dane got into the kitchen trash once she figured out how to open the cabinet, but never had to worry about her getting into the bathroom trash.  I don't think I've ever heard of that before.

My boys already started their Christmas list for this one.  They were also loving the fact that Disney confirmed they will be releasing an Age of Ulton based playset with Hulkbuster Iron Man and Ultron figures.

Had to put down our Great Dane, Buffy, yesterday after 13 years.  She was the only dog I ever owned and probably will be the last.  I don't think I could go through the last 3-4 months again with another dog.  It's just too hard.  For a big dog, she really did not have any major health issues.  It just ended up being her size that did her in.  The hips and knees just couldn't support her any more.  And considering that most Danes I've known or read about only live 7-9 years, she had a full life for sure.  I will definitely miss her...

Awesome story!  Best of luck, I hope that everything works out and it's in mint condition when you get it.

So, how much youse guys gonna pay this Dubnyk kid in the off-season?  He's UFA, correct?

If they keep winning series with him in net, then I have a feeling it's going to be quite a bit...

The Wild were the team I did NOT want to see this round.  They were on a hot streak at the end of the regular season and then whipped St. Louis.  I want to give my boys the benefit of the doubt, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see the Wild come out on top at the end of this series.

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Rebels - Season 2 (Spoilers)

Okay, this is looking so much better than Season 1.  I like the conflict/fighting that was shown.  Hearkens back to Clone Wars to me, which was sorely missed in Season 1.  Really looking forward to having Rex and a few of the other clones back in the mix.  Should be a fun season to watch!

I'm not sure I agree with naming Crawford the starter for tomorrow's game, but at least the fans know that Darling can come in and hold his own if need be.

I have to believe that Darling starts Game 3 now after yet another forgettable performance by Crawford.  He did a decent job keeping them in it until the third when he fell apart.  Seriously, these 3-goal periods for the other team is not a trend I'd like to continue to see.

Holy **** was that a crazy turn of events last night in the Blackhawks game.  You go down 3-0 after 1, you pull your starting goalie, you tie the game in the 2nd, your backup goalie pitches a shutout on 42 shots, and you win in 2OT.  It would appear that the Heart Attack Hawks are back at it again.

I'm not sure I agree with naming Crawford the starter for tomorrow's game, but at least the fans know that Darling can come in and hold his own if need be.

I've been staying spoiler free and am happy to say that even with the two teaser trailers I still don't know a lot about the plot or the characters.  The visuals have been great and I'm really excited by what I've see thus far.  I seriously think my sons and I will be spending every day of Christmas break at the movie theater!

Sounds like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be spinning in the near future:

So it would appear as though the White Sox have sealed the deal with Sam!#$%#$!%ja...

Now it's just a matter of whether or not it will equate to regular season success.

Not so much...  10-1 against the Royals to open the season.  Seems like another long year ahead of us in Chicago on both sides of town...

Blackhawks pulled another one out of their rear pads last night thanks to Captain Serious.  They are now 1 point behind St. Louis with four games to play and they get the Blues twice in those final four.  Can definitely overtake them for the second spot, however, I don't see them getting past the Predators based on them getting the Stars twice in their final four games.    We'll know soon enough.

I wish the Jets and Wild fans all the best in your final games.  I hope they make it in too...

Completely forgot about the draft.  Crap...  Now time to see how bad the lineup is this year and what I can salvage moving forward.
