Join Our Marvel Phase 2 Live Tweet! #CapLoveSesh


DIEGO'S NOTE: First off, thanks to everyone who joined in with #FastFest before Furious 7

Last year before Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a large group of us got together the week before release and live-tweeted Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers using the hashtag #CapLoveSesh. It was a hell of a time and we're looking to go even bigger this year. We'll still be using #CapLoveSesh since the Marvel movies are tracking his character's arc through to next year's Civil War. Actually it's just a nice hashtag and we already used it so we're coming full circle with this.

Join us once again using the #CapLoveSesh hashtag as we follow our biggest schedule yet:

  1. Avengers – 9:00 AM PST
  2. Iron Man 3 – 1:00 PM PST
  3. Thor: The Dark World – 5:00 PM PST
  4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier – 8:00 PM PST

It's not quite the giant Marvel marathon in AMC theaters but it's still a huge buffet of a superhero serving.

Flash and Arrow Paleyfest Trailers Are Fucking Awesome


This last weekend both Flash and Arrow went out to PaleyFest 2015. I watched both the live streams through Yahoo and was reminded of how much fun this little DC TV Universe has become. These characters are touching the hearts and minds of fans across the country without being too hokey and avoiding the grimdark approach the DC Cinematic Universe appears to be taking. A highlight for me was a child reciting the "My name is Barry Allen..." opening monologue. It was disgustingly cute. Was there anything better than a child getting to speak to someone he will likely idolize for the rest of his life? No, but there were some insanely good trailers. As the internet loves to proclaim. Hashtag hype.

Cowboy Bepop: Sympathy for the Devil Review

"Do you understand?" - Wen
If I had to describe this episode in one word, it would be "enigmatic." The air of mystery about itself is far off more artistic than any episode prior, with little interest in reality. Admittedly, it plays within the confines of its own reality, as with all the best science fiction, Cowboy Bepop uses its artistry and bold ideas to tell a sad story. We can boil this episode down in logistical terms the episode presents for us (Spike stops an ageless mobster in a young boy's body) or further engulf ourself in the essence of mystery clearly intended.

MARCH MADNESS ROUND 2: What is the Best Animated Disney Movie?


DIEGO'S NOTE: We've done it! As part of our MARCH MADNESS celebration, we've gathered a series of scientific, and factual, opinions to determine what is the best animated Disney movie classic? Our answers surprised us too.

I also talk about CHAPPiE and how shitty it was. Wow. What a literal pile of crap.

And that Tomorrowland trailer inspires us to shrug "Okay, I guess"
