    For a second, I read the Fringe news as "a beyonce- centric episode" and was both weirdly confused and excited. #theavengers

    @Chuck: "Midnight" and "Turn Left" are also among my top 5 favorite Tennant episodes, and the last two specials have been surprisingly lacking in the usual RTD cringe-inducing writing.

    He does tend to whiz it down his trouser leg when it comes to pulling off big endings, but even if the final two specials are crap, it looks like WoM is a new classic in the making. #theavengers

    @bluehinter: re: classic in the making.

    Let's hope so; it'd be nice to see him (and Tennant) go out on a solid note -- as much as I'm looking forward to Moffat's run, I'm leery as to what the new Doctor is going to bring.

    When it comes to big productions, RTD can't seem to stay away from fanwank and overly happy endings. Maybe he'll bring along some of the leftover grim from Torchwood. #theavengers

    The last time a studio used a multi-picture contract to ensure the ongoing services of Ed Norton, they ended up with The Italian Job and 6 months of Ed Norton doing press where he blasted the movie at every opportunity. Marvel would do well to not taunt the Dynamite Norton. #theavengers

    I remember him and the director both speaking out about the cut of the Hulk not being as they wanted, but I think he'd do it again if they had a decent enough script - which thus far Marvel have been able to deliver with their movies. #theavengers

    Oh, and Arthur and Norma aren't broke, like in the original version of the story — they're well off, but their kid's tuition is going up slightly.

    haha. That's the most accurately fucking embarassing movie summary I've ever heard. And it totally destroys any desire I ever had to see the movie.

    It's SUPPOSED to be about the torturous need for money in these desperate economic times. But instead it's about the problems of privileged white people trying to hang on to their privilege?

    Even if the entire movie of The Men Who Stare At Goats isn't great i will still love it for the promo clips.

    Is it just me or does Resident Evil have a knack of making fight scenes that people actually want to see but are not willing to admit they want.

    Ghost Rider had a lot of potential but i just didnt feel it in the movie, fingers crossed that number 2 will make me a little happier. #theavengers
