Points Of Departure

Everything is going straight to hell! Why is that lady in a cocoon and why is it oozing mysterious fluids? I want to see Keffer die right now, he’s a completely useless character, him and his annoying frock of hair. Just how many inquisitive looks can Ivanova flash at the camera, tune in to find out! As a friendly reminder, if you are a fan of the way the show is progressing and are watching it on DVD, then skip the opening credits for this episode or you will be spoiled, terribly!

Confirming he had been approached for the role, the Quantum of Solace star joked it would have been too much being both Bond and Thor:

“I would have been on some stupid power trip. Blonde hair and a big hammer? I can’t do it.”

Thor, reportedly to be directed by Kenneth Branagh, is set for release in July 2010.

Just as a note, I only watch foreign movies in their natural language with subtitles, and so should you. If you aren’t doing that then you need to correct yourself! Also, I use the foreign title as the main title, but I do put the English title in parentheses so that those not aware of the movies actual title will know what I’m talking about. I will also refer to shows by their English title when listing what other shows the actors have appeared in to avoid all kinds of confusion from the Gringos. Now that all the pleasantries are out of the way, bring on your devils, your ninjas and your hot naked Japanese chicks! Also bring on your exploding dead bodies and weird electrical wires, but don’t bring your hot molten gold, that will get you nothing but scorn!

Dragonlance: The Second Generation

Written by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman

A collection of previously released novellas is quite a different read than the usual epic trilogies written in this saga, but in a way it was just as satisfying.  I am unsure what came first, the short stories about the children of the Heroes of the Lance or the idea behind Dragons of Summer Flame, the added fourth volume in the Chronicles series, but either way it serves it’s position as a bridge quite well.

There are five stories in the collection and each of them are worthy of inclusion for one reason or another and they certainly add a nice layer to an already rich tapestry of the world of Krynn.

So we’ll take it tale by tale:

Please check SecondViews: V for a big update on the V universe

Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, I swear to the almighty Odin if that dude says Rob one more time I’m going to skip punching him in the junk and punch right through his junk! Here’s the deal, if this scenario happens to me I forgo going after Beth and instead put all my attention into the far better endowed Lily, lot less danger and better to look at! Also, chicks bleeding from their eye and nose and then blowing up, not all that hot, but Hud still would have went for it.

Lady Jaye is wrapped up by some tentacles, hentai fanboys the world over sooo wish that scene would have gone in a different direction! I refuse to acknowledge this as the end of Cobra Commander, he’s still the man in my eyes. On that front Serpentor can go jump off a cliff for all I care, this I do command! This is a nostalgia trip that is well worth it, although I have heard from a certain reliable source that it’s much better when you take a different kind of trip at the same time.
