I skimmed the article, and while I don't think they specifically said it, the Terrigen Mists covering the planet and unleashing more Inhumans could be the main catalyst for the Registration Act and Civil War, along with the beginning rise of vigilantes.

Kumite, Kumite, Kumite, Kumite...
Saw Bloodsport from beginning to end for the first time yesterday. I loved it. It was so bad in all the right ways, and then some. The fact that there's a reboot down the pipeline with Jean Claude in it is amazing for even more reasons that are wrong. I loved this movie, with its silly "That Girl" chase scene, Forrest Whitaker FBI role, gratuitous usage of Jean Claude's body, and slow motion extreme faces (complete with screams). Bonus points for the villain, who has most disproportionate man boobs ever put to screen.

Wasn't sure what you were talking about, so I fetched the trailer and holy shit it looks hilariously awful. I think I'll add it to my list of films to watch.

Oh jeez, Bloodsport. I've never seen the whole thing but I have seen that the main character's name is Frank Dux, and a compilation of the ridiculous slow mo. I noticed it was on Netflix, I might have to give it a full watch as well.

In other news, I'm currently visiting Vancouver for the first time in my life. Have any of you guys been?

Not since I wrapped up filming on Spider-man 2. Oh wait, that was Culver City. I'm Amy Pascal by the way. J/K No, I've not been. What's going down in Vancouver?

Haha, typical Mr. Excellent. Not much, a lot of rain, really. That said, it looks like a wonderful place for living. Reminds me a lot of Montreal with a bit more greenery and much better climate, but with fewer concert venues and cool museums. I might move here for the summer period in a few months if I manage to get the job.

So Fox is developing a live action X-Men series, but here's the real interesting part: they have to negotiate with Marvel since they still own the TV rights. This is pretty much like the Spider-Man situation. If Marvel still owns the TV rights to some characters, why not make their own series as part of the MCU? Yeah, I know that limits them in terms of crossing over with film characters, but still.

You know, part of me wishes every film studio could produce films or TV shows or whatever with any character they like. I mean this obviously isn't realistic for many reasons, but could you imagine having all these different universes, visions, interpretations of beloved comic book characters? I think it'd be great!..albeit a little confusing to part of the mainstream audience (I'm looking at you, people who still don't understand the concept of a reboot!).

I have to say, I was a little disappointed with Kingsmen. After reading some reviews and thinking back on the movie, I can start to appreciate how the film inverts the genre's trope's and whatnot. Still though, the movie felt a little too long to me. That said, the action is crazy and inventive, and IMO unforgettable. Vaughn is probably my 3rd favorite action director next to Snyder and Guy Richie. Vaughn's films are arguably better though.

Aw, that's too bad, I heard many good things about it and was wondering whether I should give it a go.

To be honest, I think it'd be more up your ally than mine. At the end of the day, I think it's better to start off slow and finish big than start off great and end poorly. It's a good movie. I can see myself enjoying it more the second time around too. Speaking of seeing movies a second time, I'm going to be seeing 20 Shades of Grey for my 22nd time tonight. I'm simply obsessed. XXXXDDDDD
Just kidding. Kind of sad it's getting trounced. I was hoping it would be another Spring Breakers. I like this idea of having real talent getting a hold of something and then turning it into something that defies expectations. From the sound of it, that wasn't the case. Oh well.
Anyone doing anything special for a significant other, girlfriend, partner, etc. etc.?

I don't really have anyone to share it with, but I did make this Valentine for my crush out of these pictures. She liked it.

D'aww, haha, I like it. I'm not doing anything today either, but my girlfriend and I will celebrate on Monday since it'll incidentally be our 2.5 year anniversary. What about you, Excellent?

Mrs.Excellent and I did a little traveling and went back to our old college town (San Luis Obispo or SLO). We had dinner at the restaurant we ate at the night I proposed to her. It has been about 5 years since we last dined there, so it was pretty big for us. This year has kind of been a year where I've splurged a little more on these types of things. I don't know if I'll get hired permanently at the school I'm at, so I want to make sure I make the most of my teacher's salary. You know, just in case I don't get tenure and have to go back to being a substitute for a while. While in SLO I went to this comic book shop and found the first 3 volumes of the Ultimate Fantastic Four series. They were only $4.99 a piece, so I feel like I struck big. Really excited to read them.
