Yeah. My wife didn't want to see Mockingjay Part 1 because she doesn't like cliff hangers, and a lot of critics were saying that it felt like an incomplete movie. If it had been up to me, I would've went any way, but she and I are planning on seeing them both in the same day when part 2 comes out. Usually, a theater near by has some sort of special going on where you can catch multiple movies back to back in a series.

In my opinion, Catching Fire doesn't feel complete either cause it sets up Mockingjay, whereas with the first movie I feel I could watch on its own.

Though I prefer Catching Fire, I agree that it doesn't really feel like a standalone movie the same way the first film did.

Word is that the Jessica Jones pilot blew minds. One description that seems to be being tossed around the past 48 hours is that it goes deeper and darker than Daredevil managed to do in its entire 1st season. If that's not just the hype train, then damn. A lot of people have been complaining like Daredevil got snubbed at the Emmy's or something. As someone who doesn't watch the other shows that won awards, I can't pretend to be informed on whether or not Daredevil was actually snubbed. I can say that Daredevil went deeper into the characters dramatically than anything on the movie side of things in the MCU. Honestly, it's not even close. So, if all this talk about Jessica Jones is true, then it looks like Marvel is going to be upping its game yet again. While I find that exciting, I know that the films will never go as deep or dark as the Netflix stuff. At least, not for this phase (3) they're not. Probably not even for phase 4, (assuming they continue to rollout their lineups the same way they have for the 1st three waves of films) That's kind of the point of the Netflix deal. It gives them an outlet to take their properties to that place on a bargain.

Rumor on that is that it may be pushed back again and again systematically until it's off the docket. Just a rumor going around on comicvine, ScreenRant, IGN, and various other websites. Different things are being said though, so I'm hoping it's nothing more than a rumor.

Dang, I don't know if my old church would've let us do that. Love my roots though. I'm continuing my tradition of never dressing up, but I'm going to a Halloween party with my wife among friends.

I'm kinda sad that the people I hang out with don't really care for costumes or Halloween in general. I honestly would love to work on a costume of my own, but it's never appropriate.

Bummer dude. My wife is into Cosplay, as is my brother in-law and friends. I just grew up with a crazy strict background; my dad took it past what our church did even, as I've shared. He's mellowed over the years and conveniently forgets how silly he used to be.

Aw man, that sucks... Do you ever get to help your fellow cosplayers design costumes and whatnot or is it not your cup of tea?

I've never helped create a costume, but it's something I could get into.

Sorry guys, can't post pics. Says the files are too big for the boards. I dressed up as Jared Leto's Joker. Spray painted my hair green; black, white, and red makeup on the face (including the "Damaged" and "J teardrop" tattoos; red button up; one purple glove on right hand; used make-up crayons for the big smile tattoo on my right forearm, the "HA"s around my left forearm and the smile tattoo on my left hand. I got a lot of compliments as well as freaked some people out. Man, I wish I could show you guys.

Bummer about the files. I broke my not dressing up streak. We dressed up as fictional characters or actors who were Price is Right contestants. That entailed printing out price tag name tags and taping them to our shirts, while wearing home made masks. I was the fake messenger from Mulan (aka Mushu and the Cricket). My wife was Michael Cane. The rest of our small group of friends had characters too. Oh, and then there was last week. I forgot about that. We were Super Market Sweep contestants. The reason being, we were broke and couldn't afford costumes this year. That's what buying furniture without planning ahead does.

Did you try to upload them using some sort of image uploading service like we used to in the good old days? Is Photobucket still a thing? Imageshack maybe? Holy, haven't visited these sites in years.
