Just wanted to tell you guys torchwood season 4 is on IMDB.com there no info but it does say there will be a season 4 so I think this is good news .
IMDB isn’t the most reliable of sources for future projects, sadly.
I don’t know much about Thor but could you guys have been thinking about Asgard (Not sure if that is spelled right)?
Oh my God! This episode was like 50 minutes long! That’s some kind of new record! :)
:P
Re: Nightmare on Elm Street
I agree that the first kill was the best one. It was really creepy looking. Unfortunately the rest of the kills weren’t very inventive, especially the ones exactly the same as the original.
I think this movie felt like it had to ape the original way too many times. There were way too many shots that either directly ripped off the original or riffed on it in some way. The CGI wall stretch effect looked horrible. The same thing in the original movie looked much better and was much creepier.
I loved the Green Lantern animated movie. I thought it showed badass potential. I was really bummed to hear you say that they won’t make a sequel. The first one wasted a lot of time being an origin story. Jumping right into the story, they could do an epic space battle story.
sigh….too late now.
I thought Green Lantern was just okay, but I loved Wonder Woman, so that sucks.
I didn’t care for Crisis on Two Earths either; no Kevin Conroy or Tim Daley. :( Loved Public Enemies though. :)
