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

Why is it that RTD waits until *now* to start writing Doctor Who episodes I actually like? #theavengers

I flinched when I first saw his name on Torchwood: COtE, and came away mostly impressed (until about the last 90 minutes, specifically) #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

@icy_one: His Hulk was great though, I really enjoyed the movie as I think it, along with Iron Man did exactly what they set out to do, make an enjoyable action movie based on a comic.

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?

@Pope John Peeps II: I'm still a little surprised that Richard Kelley managed to expand the story to feature length. The original story barely took up a 15 min. segment of the 1980s version of the Twilight Zone. But from that description, he's not only expanded it but warped it all out of shape. The director's cut of Donnie Darko was awesome. He should have quit while he was ahead. #theavengers

"In the story, I start out as not a geek, but sort of a tech guy. And by the end, I'm a total warrior, drinking blood from the animals and going crazy."

Sounds like most of the IT guys I know except add "World of Warcraft" before warrior, "fantasize about" before drinking and change animals to "stupid users who complain they can't find the ANY key."
