Lets be relevant, for once

Lets get those pageviews, yo. Well, if it did not take me so long to figure out how to get my feelings down on digital ink... Here are some of my thoughts on Avengers: Age of Ultron I just saw it tonight.  Yes, I am aware it is Monday.  (I watched this on the 3rd, two days after the premier, took me awhile to actually get this review written.) Yes, I am aware that it came out on Thursday at midnight.  No, you cannot have my nerd card.  I will prove my worthiness to keep it by complaining about a comic book movie.  Online even.... Getting Ready To prepare myself, I did not watch any of the many trailers and ads that were posted in the past few months leading up to the release.  I saw the first one, and that was enough to sell me on it.  I feel that trailers lately have been spoiling too much about a movie.  I wanted to go into this movie as blind as I could, so I could be surprised.  Well, as surprised as I could be, being on the internet all day, everyday, I ha

Furious 7 - Or, Bro, do you even Plot?

     Before I get too far.  I DID like this movie.  Not love, but really liked it.  If you liked the past….6, then you really do not even need to continue reading.  You have already seen it.  You have already got “sand” in your eye at the end of the movie, you big man machine that you are.  This movie is fun, as long as you turn off your brain.  The part of your brain that knows about logic, proper plot, and physics.

Are you ready, BRO.  Track Day, BRO!!!  BRO!!!!      I was not ready for this movie.  I came to the theater with all my mental faculties fully functional.  This is not what one does when you go to this, the 7th movie in the Car movie franchise that turned into what the Expendables wanted to be.  It took me a long time to get into this movie.  Usually it does not take me too long to get into movies.  As I have said before, I like movies.  I

Thoughts on the new Batman V Superman Trailer

Before we go any further, you need to watch this trailer if you have not already yet. Don't complain, just be cool man.... Okay, now we can talk. This has been very interesting to watch on the Internet all the different reactions to this trailer. Usually you when you show a trailer, you get one of two responses. 1.) Variations on "Duuuuude!!!!" "Whoah Duuuuude!!" or "Meh, it looks good." or a shrug of the shoulders, and then a nod of approval. 2.) "That will suck" "meh" or no reaction at all. With this trailer though, we have a few more reactions, in addition to those. It has sparked an online debate. Not a debate on what the story is going to be about. But whether it is going to suck or not. The places of debate for this movie has turned into a hostile place. This is nerd fandom at it's worst. Us nerds (I have been guilty of this at times as well.) need to all settle down. We need to sit down and realize ho
