Just got home from the movies...
Jan. 14th, 2017 11:17 pm...and yes, Hidden Figures was a Damn Fine Movie.
I was both educated and entertained as a direct consequence of watching _Hidden Figures_ tonight. It is my pleasure to note that, at Silver City Gloucester (as I still call it despite Cineplex and Scotiabank plastering the latter's name all over the building), the screening room in which I watched was filled almost to bursting. Maybe 10-15 seats left empty.
Two things about other matters whilst I further marshal my thoughts on that subject:
1. Mark Hamill's let the Trumpster loose again. Enjoy or not, as you will.
2. Frank Jacobs has noted "a masterclass in accidental nation-building" in the matter of San Escobar. Interesting, as a consequence of Poland facing similar issues as the USA, Hungary, the Philippines, and so on.

Helicarrier Fun: All-New Wolverine # 8
Jun. 5th, 2016 10:32 amI laughed when I saw this page. Laughed, because I empathized with Gabby's reaction.
( Image under the cut )It's her first Helicarrier, after all.
This does look familiar. How about you?

Laughed when I saw this.It's hopeful, is what it is...
Apparently, next week's installment "T.R.A.C.K.S." will include Carlo Rota as one of the guest performers.
Yes, I know: Stan Lee's already pre-emptively upstaged Rota. So what?
Now left wondering how Yasir Hamoudi and Coulson's crew would cope with each other...and what the titular acronym of next week's episode should mean.
Perhaps: Train Reconnaissance, Acquisition, Containment for Knowledge Security?

Surely you already have an agent? ;-)
Wondering what you'd do with the Agents of SHIELD if you had the chance, though...

I'm glad to have avoided items # 1, 5 and 8 - so far - but as for the rest? I'd like to see some of those predictions come true before I die!

I can't say as I blame Michael Fossum for one second for that sentiment.
