What's weird with the Donner cut is that it assumes the normal ending of Superman: The Movie never happened.
They were made back to back with the intention of being one huge story, like what they're doing with The Hobbit now.

So she's gonna be Karen Villain.

Peter Dinklage and James McAvoy are clearly having a contest.
-
Going with the theory that he's lost his name, maybe he's a version of 8 who gave up after killing all the Time Lords.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. It's pretty much what I expected, except a lot harder R than I thought. Somehow, I don't remember fairy tales using the F word this much.
Coincidentally I just watched it last night with a friend of mine. I guess I was in a mood, cause I just didn't enjoy it.

My first e-mail got read! Made my day!
I'm pretty sure that the Regeneration boxset is a UK exclusive. It's not on the main site but it is on Amazon UK.

I went to see it in 3D and didn't get too much out of it. The bit in Pepper's office is the only one that sticks out in my mind.
As for the movie, I loved it. There were a few times when I was looking at my watch but other than that, I had so much fun.

The thing with Anakin and Obi-Wan swinging their lightsabers, not doing anything was explained on Tumblr. Apparently it's a fencing thing where you're daring the other to strike first. And because this is a post on this forums about Tumblr, "OMG THE FEELS"
I think that the pregnancy, the stress from finding out that Anakin did what he did, getting Force Choked and the environment of Mustafar was what led to Padme dying. Of course, I'm not an advanced medical droid so what do I know?
Anyways, great episode guys. I need to watch this again; I'm pretty sure I've only seen it once, and that was...8 years ago. Man.
-
Oh thank God. I heard rumors that Tom Hiddleston was going to be cast and if that ever happened, I'm just straight up quitting Tumblr.

Great episode guys i'm half way though so far but thought i'd share this as you two obviously need more t-shirts
http://fashionablygeek.com/t-shirts/doctor-who-costume-shirts-now-available-for-pre-order/
WANT. All mine are pretty generic(The TARDIS doors, "Don't Blink" and "The Doctor is in")
I have to say, Stolen Earth/Journey's End might be my favorite of the RTD season finales. It's bloated as all hell and the thing with Rose just pisses me off to no end, but I love Davros and the Daleks in it, it's fantastic seeing all of the companions together and the ending is just really powerful.

Peter Purves and others argue that Doctor Who is too unnecessarily sexy.
http://www.avclub.com/articles/doctor-who-is-too-sexy-and-complicated-now-argues,96272/
Speaking of, look at what I found on Tumblr(from Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)
I disagree with the thing of it becoming too complicated. I look at Modern Who like comic books from the 80s; if you're just in it for the fun, you can not really pay attention to the little stuff. If you just tuned in to "The Bells of St John", if you can get past the stuff with the Doctor being all weird and stalker-y with Clara, you can enjoy the adventure. The sexiness, I'm not really bothered by, since that's a generational thing.
Also
why was the history of the time lords written in english for Clara to read. Wouldn't it be in dr who language galifreyan
/shrug
The TARDIS gets into their heads and translates for them.
-
Also
Who wrote the History of the Time War? and why would the Doctor keep a book on display that reveals his true name if it's such a big secret?
Liked the idea of liquid knowledge spilling out in the Library
Maybe somebody in the future decided to write about the Time War and the Doctor, when all of that is common knowledge by that point, and the Doctor decided to take a copy? No clue why it's out in the open, though.
I just watched this and I thought it was okay. It had some nice moments and effects, but I didn't find it that engaging.
My biggest issue with it was the pressing the reset button. Ugh. I want them to actually deal with the multiple Claras. The only thing that makes it somewhat tolerable is that there seem to be some ramifications at the end. So maaaybe she still remembers but I doubt it.
Couple of observations:
-Woo, Seven's umbrella! I wish it was the iconic red question mark version, but still, as a Seven fanboy I appreciated that.
-The clips from the previous Doctors and companions were nice, although it was hard to make out the voices.
-The thing with the monsters being shot with jerking camera movements and the distortion felt a bit too repetitive of the last one. I don't know what to think of their origin.
-
That he will play the real 9th Doctor who fought in the Time War and that Eccleston was in fact the 10th Doctor, and Tennant 11th and Smith 12th.
I don't really get how that rumor got started,
other than he's sorta kinda maybe dressed like the Doctor would.

Daredevil - I just like it. I know it's not great but I still like it. I was also not a Daredevil fan so I didn't care if they screwed up the character.
The Daredevil movie actually made me a fan of the character. I thought Affleck did a great job.
-
I don't know if this is intentional, but the 50th anniversary year is certainly celebrating the past. If last week was a Troughton base-under-siege, this was a full-blown Baker/Hinchcliffe/Holmes "horror in a country house" story.
I haven't seen Hide yet, but from the promos, I got a strong Pyramids of Mars vibe from it.
Now that you say it, I can see what you mean. Bells of St John and Rings of Akhaten felt like Pertwee stories(at least, from what I know)
Okay, just saw it, and I thought it was great. I think it's the second best so far, behind The Snowmen.
The bit with the Doctor in the pocket dimension was genuinely unsettling. The twist was really unnecessary, though.
-
I need this movie right now.
-
I liked it. Had a nice Alien and Predator vibe to it.
The face reveal at the end was a bit disappointing, though.
-
I greatly enjoyed it. Smith and Coleman worked well together, it had a nice pace and there were a lot of fun bits.
The scene on the plane(even if that was released before) and the Doctor on that anti-gravity motorcycle had me giggling like a madman.
Some little things bothered me, though. First was the pre-credits bit. It just felt way too much like the end of Blink. Second, how can any young person living in a first world nation not know how to use computers? And last was how "Doctor Who" and the name Oswin were included. That felt like a moment from an RTD season. I guess I can see how it's the start of the series after 3 months, but I think it can still be done more naturally.
-
Apparently, Smith'll be done with the role by the Christmas special. It's the Sun, though, and I know they have a reputation for being inaccurate.
-
I wish they just went ahead and gotten Drew Struzan to paint that one poster, since that's the vibe they were going for with it.
-
Has anybody been keeping up with that limited series? How is it so far?
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
in Comic Book Adaptations

It's nice that they're breaking out of the trilogy format. It'd be interesting to see what direction they take the series.
