Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Premiere

Ok. I feel I have to chime in a bit. I JUST watched the premiere of "Agents" and while I thought it was a solid first episode I do feel the need to chime in a couple of things I noticed. 

Coulson 

Ok. He's back. They faked his death or whatever. I figured that out when I saw the promos. But this whole "he never should find out" thing. Lame. The show would be ok without it. 

Agent Grant Ward

Or, more specifically the actor that plays him, Brett Dalton. Horrible actor. Ugh. Hope he gets some acting lessons before he goes and ruins the show. 

References to every movie Marvel has made...like ever!!

Ok kids. Let's count. Tell me if I missed anything. Ahem

New York

Stark tower 

Gamma

The Chitauri

Super soldier serum

Agent Romanoff

The Spider-Man esque way buddy climbed the building 

Mention of Thor's arms

Mention of Loki

Exremis

And even used the train station the final scenes is the same station that gets a new sunroof thanks to Cyclops' laser vision  in the very first Xmen movie. I'm sure there was more. This is just off the top of my head. 

Yes. We get it Joss. This series is set firmly in the Marvel universe. No need to ram it down our throats. 

All that said. I'll be watching. For sure

MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU



Super Bowl Nerdgasm

So I was just watching the superbowl...minding my own business when THIS happened

Yeah....Can't wait for this summer..Between this, the Amazing Spider Man and the Dark Knight Rises... I'm going to be one busy Geek.  Finally after this past summer of kind of Meh movie releases, we're going to have a true blockbuster summer.

And on a side note..I think the Mark Ruffalo Hulk looks even better than the Ed Norton Hulk, much more true to the Comic book in my opinion.

*addition

Then early this morning..this happened

Yup...I'm officially Excited for this movie...Garfield is nailing it!!

MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU

MISHMASH

Slow News Day.  Lots of stuff in the entertainment world on Lindsay Lohan and her domestic issues with her daddy and the pettyness that accompanies it.  Then there's all the Dancing with the Stars Crap...Kate's gone (I loathe her by the way...did you ever see how she used to talk to her husband, she seriously needs an attitude adjustment), will the show rate without her? (short answer..yes because there are always bored housewives)  nothing really worth devoting a whole blog post.  More scandal than substance really.

Only thing that is more blog-worthy is the whole release of 3D TV...Ok..here's my 2 cents worth.  It's too much.  I'm a huge gadget guy..I love tech and all the stuff that comes along with it.  But when I have to wear a pair of glasses that cost hundreds of dollars just to watch a TV that they're not even really putting out programming for yet.  Well that's just a little too much.  I'm going to just bide my time with this one like I did with the whole Blu-Ray/HD DVD war.  I didn't commit to a format till I knew which one would be victorious. (as an aside, I predicted right...sony lost the whole betamax/vhs war despite being a superior format, it was like it was supposed to be)  So I'm going to wait..maybe some holographic 3D TV that doesn't require glasses.  These days Who knows
