Never really gotten the point of Daredevil. He's a blind guy with the power to "see."

I think Daredevil was only ever a 'one-liner' - the main concept of the story being 'justice is blind'.

Dohohohohohohoho! Such a clever concept! Surely it'll last and last!

I don't hate Daredevil as a character but also I don't think there's enough of him as a character/concept to deserve a movie (or two).

Watching Grave Encounters 2, and DAAMN it has an unusually cruel version of the Horror Movie Hope Spot. They escape from the hospital, only for the elevator back at the hotel somehow leading them back to the tunnels under the hospital. When they say that the hospital doesnt adhere to normaaal dimensions, they meant it

Unforgiven is going to be on tonight on AMC at 8 Eastern time.

It's a Western for people who like film noir.

Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Gene Hackman.

Watching the first Grave Encounters. I am CONVINCED this is how those "Ghost Hunt" style crews always aact when not on camera.

Yeah, I used to think that too, but then I did a very small amount of research into him and figured out his sixth sense is pretty much a slightly limited form of Omniscience. Like the Spider-Sense but it's on all the time.

That reminds me of the time Spider-man trained his Spidersense to become pre-cognisant. Also there's more to an interesting character than his powerset.

Animal Man is the proof of that if there ever was one.

Finally got around to watching Brave and Rise of the Guardians.

Brave, was pretty tight, not their best but a strong movie.

RotG was stock standard for a holiday kids movie. With it's theme being believe in Santa/Easter Bunny/Fictional character invented to coerce children into being well behaved. Didn't hate it, but didn't like it.

Bought Wreck-it-Ralph on Bluray. There was even more to appreciate watching it again.

I wonder how many different Iron Man action figures there are for Iron Man 3...

Saw Iron Man 3 and it was pretty good. A lot of various call-backs to the comics and hints at things to come, like ten rings for the Mandarin's symbol and the armor attacking Pepper in the night.

Got around to watching Memento years after it was relevant. That's just how I live my life.

In the big fight scene at the end of IM3, was anyone else reminded of Revengeance when Tony Stark cut off that one guy's hand with a cyber suit knife and then the guy regrew the hand?

EDIT: Ender's Game Trailer!

Not gonna watch that because Orson Scott Card is a dickbag.
