The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Do Canadian heretics celebrate Christmas?

We used to, before the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced as part of the Constitution Act of 1982. AS part of the last phase of independence from the U.K., Canada chartered the right to be free of anything British/white/Christian. So now, most of Canada is American/black/Pagan.

Truly we are blessed to live in the time of the Moose Lords.

Rights? Freedoms? Dangerous words.

Hence the need for the Royal Canadian Mounted Cyborgs.

The term 'mounted' implies that your mother is among their number.

Understandable assumption, but actually she was one of the Cyborgs. She met my father when he was transferred to her unit--he had uploaded his mind to the positronic brain of her Atomic Steed. She mounted him.

that's hot im gettin hard tell me moar

Actually, there's not much to tell. I'm not much more than an interpreter and not very good at telling stories. Well, not at making them interesting, anyway. Watch this video--it details my life rather well:

I'm sorry but that is not Brokeback Mountain.

I just watched an episode of Doctor Who for the first time in my life. I can't decide if that was some of the worst television I've ever seen, or just too British to be understood.

Some bastard turned the entire planet of Earth into clones of him and then was going to rescue Timothy Dalton from some place called Galawhatever, except Timothy Dalton turned out to be evil and had to be sent back, and then there was some pair of weird green aliens with rubber foreheads, and then the Doctor absorbed a bunch of radation and saved some old guys life. Then he want traipsing around time saying hello to people until these aliens with but cracks on their foreheads showed up and started playing some kind of alien opera and then the Doctor entered a phone booth and turned into some other dude.

WTF.

I see no conflict here.

hahahahahahahaha

That was the end of a 3 year long plot arc.

Goddamn is Shatterpoint badass.

X-men: First Class was fantastic. I need to watch it again, but I think that it might be one of the best Superhero movies ever. Dark Knight level.

Not even close. It was good but that's about it. The guy who played Magneto absolutely owned that movie though. So did Professor X.

Yeah. Its got to be the first time when I genuinely thought Magneto was right and rooted for him. At the end when he asked who was with him I know I would have been with him.

Fassbender is no McKellen, but he was very good nonetheless. That said, there's no way I would have sided with a man whose end goal was to convert or kill every human being on the planet, regardless of what torture he endured at the hands of a few.

I never got the impression that he really wanted to KILL ALL HUMANS! but it was pretty clear that it was an 'us vs them' situation. Those ****ers shot missiles at them without a second thought. What happens next time, when Magneto isn't around to save everones ass? The thing about the X-Men is that Magneto is kind of right. The Marvel-verses citizens all hate mutants. And maybe they should. Mutants are dangerous and they are the superior species.

I wasn't sure if the movie really counted as a 'prequel' though. It contradicted quite a bit of the previous movies. Not that that was bad, those movies weren't very good at all.

The first two were great, though I'll grant you the third one and Wolverine, which were utterly forgettable.

With the possible exceptions of Downey Jr. and Ledger, I haven't seen anyone in the films produced by Marvel or DC in this generation rival McKellen and Stewart with respect to fantastic portrayals.

And yes, I believe it's supposed to be a prequel, enormous continuity errors aside.

It contradicted X3 and Origins: Wolverine. I think it was a prequel to Singer's movies only. Ignoring the rubbish that came afterwards.
