American Godzilla's....
****1998****
****2014****
16 years between iterations, and wow is there a difference. I've already spoken my peace on 1998's Zilla, so i'll move on. 2014's Godzilla, pretty much perfect in ever way. I officially have '0' complaints about him, and I can't wait to see the new movie. Every image, every tv spot, every trailer, nearly reduces me to tears.
Godzilla, forever.

CYBORG cast, what is to come....
CYBORG has officially been cast in the SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie with relative unknown Ray Fisher in the role. Word is that it will be only for one scene with the role being extended in future movies, specifically the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie. This is interesting for four reasons; 1. Cyborg is a character Henry Cavill (Superman) name-dropped for a possible future character he was really interested in meeting. 2. Star Labs, a hub of scientific advancement in the DCU, the place where Cyborg's father works, and was the scene of his transformation made a cameo in MAN OF STEEL. 3.The Revised Origin of the Justice League includes Cyborg as a founding member. And 4. It looks like, with the one scene to become a larger role later, that DC/WB are extending the origin of the Justice League beyond a single movie and telling a longer story than anyone was maybe expecting. Whether Cyborg will be Cyborg or his pre-transformation identity of Victor Stone pro-football player, I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Although word is they've already filmed some football material for the movie.
When it comes to the roster in the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie it looks like they'll be drifting more towards the NEW52 line-up. Which was; Superman/Batman/WonderWoman/GreenLantern(HalJordan)/TheFlash/Aquaman/and Cyborg. But just from my own personal preference, I'd rather have the John Stewart Green Lantern, Frankly because, yes, he's my Green Lantern but also because I tend to think he's more interesting than Hal Jordan. And instead of Aquaman, who should be ruling over Atlantis and being a badass while doing it, I think they should bring back Martian Manhunter, one of the greatest, and most under-appreciated, characters of all time. I think there should also be more than one female member of the team, since Hawkgirl is part of Earth 2 and ultimately the Justice Society, how about Zatanna? or maybe Rocket? which would be a cool way to eventually bring in Icon in his own movie.
The ultimate rumor going around is that SUPERMAN/BATMAN leads directly into JUSTICE LEAGUE, with Batman possibly being the one who brings the team together. Thats fine with me. Wonder Woman being a supporting character in S/B, also fine with me. It'll be nice to see the trinity come together before things go nuts with the League later on. I know a lot of folks online are really worried about whats going on with DC/WB but I'm quite excited. Is it what MARVEL did? No, but it shouldn't be. Do something different, be bold, embrace the crazy. And as a fandom all we have to do is drink it all in.

WIKI DIE HARD LETHAL WEAPON WTF?
The script for 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' was at one point intended to be the script for 'Lethal Weapon 4', before it was adapted to become the third Die Hard movie.......ummmm, wow, that would've taken the Lethal Weapon series in an interesting direction, especially considering where 3 left off and what 4 became.
COSMOS
Have you been watching COSMOS? If not you should be, it's a fantastic piece of television returned to help us all. Check your local listings.
The Hobbit's
'The Desolation of Smaug' is coming to DVD/Blu-Ray this week. These Hobbit movies are really frustrating, and in the smallest ways. There's just so much fat in each of them, if you removed the Gandalf/Sauron subplot, cut down the extended fight scenes, and removed some tracking bridge shots, you would have some reasonably lengthed movies. In fact you'd probably end up with a duology instead of a trilogy. I read that 'An Unexpected Journey' was originally going to end with the barrel scene and that the second movie was going to be Smaug and the massive battle. That would've worked for me. You could've done that and had the Gandalf material as its own standalone movie. Some have come close to saying the Hobbit trilogy is Peter Jackson's equivelent to the Star Wars prequels. I wouldn't go that far, but I can certainly see where that's coming from. Really hoping the payoff of part three will bring it all together somehow and make this a series worth revisiting.
.....
Have a stack of DVD's to watch and a stack of books to read, you'd think that's what i'd be doing. But instead i'm brainstorming things, that should they happen, won't happen for years to come. Always getting way, WAY, ahead of myself.
