The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I found Thor too predictable, plus Captain America had Tommy Lee jones in, with a classic line, instant win there.

Really Really want to see that Captain America movie. From everything I've heard I think I'll love it.

Probably just gonna buy it outright before I even see it. Sad that I'm so hype but didn't even make time to see it in the theatre.

Margin Call was awesome. What an erection inducing movie.

Loki was so good in Thor. Great movie overall.

But I think I prefered Cap.

I would be laughing if this wasn't so horrifying.

Seriously, these people are savages. Margaret Mead and her anthropological nonsense can go to hell.

That's pretty sad. There's religion and there's ancient religion, this is the latter. Also, I find the hypocrisy of secularism quite humorous. Religious factions get criticized (and a lot of the times rightfully so) for their war against secularism, while the secularists and atheists sit there poking fun of Tim Tebow because he wears his religion on his sleeve.

I don't even know who Tim Tebow is. Google time I guess.

So is that guy like, the new Elvis now, or what?

Jesus prays to Tim Tebow. He's a subpar quarterback that knows how to win and possesses that divine Michael Jordan clutch that allowed his team to go 7-1 in the last 8 games, all on 4th quarter/overtime drives.

I didn't either, so the whole "OMFG Teh TEBOWZ" references were going right over my head. Apparently, he's a REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER and RELIGIOUS, which makes him more worthy than folks who ACTUALLY WORK FOR A LIVING.

Stover actually, since it's a tie in short story for the novel. I do know that GL has been working closely with the writers though.

LucasArts is becoming a producer of lots of terrible ideas.

Outside of Shatterpoint, Stover is proving to be a truly horrible writer in terms of consistency and clear narrative. Great at smearing the white pages with vivid, poetic descriptions of Sammy Jackson swinging a purple saber, but otherwise inconceivably horrible at anything resembling coherent prose.

Thor was freakin awesome. Captain America sucked.

Thor was really good. Although Thor himself had very little character development, Loki was a compelling character (well acted) and the imagery was very good.

Have not seen Captain America. Nothing really appeals me about the character, but I am anxious for The Avengers so I can see Hawkeye in action.

You'd probably hate Captain America. Cap himself is a straight up Good Guy, utterly unironic in how good of a person he is. I thought it wasa nice and refreshing, but that kind of hero isn't popular nowadays.

Also I'm nearing the end of Invisible War. I think I'll side with JC. His idea arouses and intriques me. I like it.

i liked it cause of the years flash-forward involved.

Don't spoil anything please.

Lol, I wasn't aware that athletics don't "work", but I sense some bitterness and jealousy there.

Color me green and envious. He makes millions.

Yup.. I love the guy. I can see how some people would feel awkward with all of his praying but it doesn't bother me any. He's not coming to my door and preaching. Also, his character epitomizes personal development to its core.

He should run for the Republican nomination.

Would look bad for Democrats because he would win.
