        you mean the other women here who have the hots for him? -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 08:14 3
        
        I suspect there is enough of RDJ to spread around -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 08:20 2
        
        he should spread all over Thor. That'd be hot. -- nm - Diva Oct 11, 08:24
        
        of course there is. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 08:22
    - RDJ is Lustworthy Emeritus. I have enough Lust for both. -- nm - Diva Oct 11, 08:00
- Diva will be posting like a man meat loving version of CQ today. "Gonna be seeing some Thor. Mmmm, mm. Thor." -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 07:56 2

      - (Asgard Academy!) -- nm - TFox Oct 11, 08:03 1
        
        This is still the joke I laugh at all the time. I've told friends this, and they all were like "They know you too well." -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 08:05

        Still has a shading problem. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 07:59
I do like that early in filming, RDJ complained that the script and movie was not focused enough on him (and later relented), and yet the trailer? - The Ruiner Oct 11, 07:45 9
- Did the Hulk look like new CGI they have made or just very close up recycled footage at this time? -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 08:17
- He is the most interesting character - but he said once he and whedon went over the script he was happy to step back a little. -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 07:48
- Iron Man...............................Captain America...Thor...........Hulk - MDH Oct 11, 07:47 6

    - You don't have your movie, therefore are not included. But Fillion could be awesome. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 07:50 2
      - *kicks a puppy* -- nm - Jeremy Renner Oct 11, 07:51 1
        
        Oh that's who I meant! The Joss Whedon comment above threw me off. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 07:53
    - *sits in the corner and grumbles* -- nm - Ant-Man Oct 11, 07:50
    - I think Renner is going to rock as Barton -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 07:50
I'm so glad andrea is back. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 07:42 5

On a waffle maker, red light off means the waffle is done. - Beryllium Oct 11, 07:41 5
- And the waffle can proceed through the intersection now. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 11, 07:57
- Or possibly "Caution! There is a waffle inside!" -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 11, 07:48 2
  - that's the yellow light. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 07:57 1
    - red light is STOP! Waffle Time! -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 08:04

LYC: groiny - oblique Oct 11, 07:40 1

    - Well sure...but still an event to honor someone on the visiting team seems...weird. - Jim Oct 11, 07:59
It may not be The Avengers trailer, but here's the The Comic Strip Presents: The Hunt for Tony Blair with the greatest protrayal of Thatcher. -- (link) - LMS Oct 11, 07:38 [youtube] 2
- That would have been awesome just as a fake trailer. But an actual special? Awesome! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 11, 08:53
- HA! -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 08:20
Terra Nova - last nights episode was like a very bad first season episode of Star Trek: TNG - Jovian Oct 11, 07:35 10
- You are really convincing me to walk away from this now. Especially after forgetting to record it last night. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 11, 07:56 1
  - nah you shouldnt (not yet anyways). what I am saying is that it definitely still has potential -- nm - Jovian Oct 11, 07:57
- I dont remember did TNG ever do anything with those little aliens that crawed in peoples mouth? -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 07:42 4
  - they actually did... - Mel Profit Oct 11, 07:43 3
    - Ah ok. But it never really turned into a BIG deal? -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 07:46 2
      - right, they pretty much made it a big deal for 1 or 2 episodes, made it sound like a Borg-sized invasion and then dropped it IIRC. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 11, 07:47 1
        
        Sort of what I remember, like they realized little crappy clay aliens were not going to be interesting -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 07:50
- That's almost exactly what I thought. Plus the episode would have carried more emotional weight if it followed a few more episodes of character - ceregon Oct 11, 07:39
- there were other kinds? -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 07:37 1
  - Conspiracy was one of the all time best episodes. -- nm - ceregon Oct 11, 07:39

      - hehehehe -- nm - Capstern (13 Days) Oct 11, 07:41
- Loved Downey Jr. in it, but I felt like something was missing overall idk. And that trailer song is awful. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 07:31 15
  - Go sit over in the corner. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 07:32 14
    - It needed a more intense build and less generic rock. It made the trailer seem very cheap to me. Just my opinion though. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 07:36 3
      - Sorry, but JLo would have not got it done. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 07:42 2

        Dude. - Diva Oct 11, 07:44 2
        
        I blame No Coffee. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 07:47 1
        
        You need some more tasty New England Coffee. -- nm - Diva Oct 11, 08:02
        
        I actually think Trent/NIN are talented. I just don't like it for a trailer song! - MDH Oct 11, 07:42 2
        
        Did you see the trailer for 300? I thought it worked there ... haven't seen this one yet. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 07:54 1
