Winter Soldier is probably the best comicbook movie to ever come out, I really liked Spiderman 2 though. They're both worth watching.

I heard that, despite what the trailers may have led you to believe about his role, Rhino was in the movie for about two minutes at the end. Also, for some reason, the movie decided that Oscorp would be the source of practically every villain.
Other then that, I've heard mostly positive things about it. The exception to this is The Spoony One, who had a rant about how much it sucked that was longer then the movie, expressing his disdain over everything, from the way Electro was created, to the stereotypical characters, to the way the love story was portrayed, to disappointed Dennis Leary.
I agree. I love Wolverine, he's a great character, tons of fun, awesome powers, no one can deny that. I also love Chinese food. But if I had Chinese food for dinner every day, eventually I'd be dying for a good, old-fashioned burger. Wolverine is cool and all, but there are a lot of other cool mutants, damn it. Can we give them a chance. Let's see Shadow Cat again. Or Nightcrawler. And Gambit definitely deserved more then that stupid glorified cameo.

Yeah! I would love to see a Gambit or Nightcrawler Movie! That Would be awesome!
Don't mean to change the subject, but I recently discovered something I never knew before. Anyone here ever played Onimusha? Made by Capcom, it Started out as a ninja version of Resident Evil (much like Dino Crisis was a dinosaur version of Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry was built off an engine meant to be Resident Evil 4), it evolved into a pretty kick-ass samurai/demon slaying series.
Genma Onimusha was a re-release of the first game for the X-Box a year after it's release on the PS2. The new additions were mostly hit or miss, but one new thing I loved (a lot of people hated it, but I loved it), was the addition of a common element in Capcom games; a pursuer, in this games case, a porcelain doll with huge blades in her sleeves that attacks you in various rooms and can only be damaged (can only be touched) by a fully leveled sword. She was like a feudal Japan version of Alma from the F.E.A.R. series. I especially loved the different camera angles she'd appear in.
What I never knew until a few days ago was that the doll has a name; Ayame. Now how interesting would that have made season three? It's the middle of a battle, the aliens are kicking our collective ass, and suddenly, a pissed of Ayame shoots out six swords out of her sleeves and starts swirling around like a tornado, chopping all of the enemies into pieces.
(Sigh) A soldier can dream.

I have the opposite opinion on Watchdogs, as I personally have high hopes for it. Also can't wait for Ace Combat: Infinity, though as usual for most new games I lack a console to play it on.

I just fell out of my seat.
Why are dolls so damn creepy?
I've also been having longer-than-usual showers on the off chance Grelite decides to mess with me and I start smouldering. I live in fear.
[From wikipedia]
Uncanny valley
The uncanny valley is a fundamental portion in the theory of why humans fear non-living objects such as dolls. The theory explains that as an object, such as a robot, moves towards becoming more familiar in human likeness from its functionality, it slowly becomes more popular because of familiarization to the object from the standpoint of a person. However there is a huge gap from this point to a regular healthy human and that is the uncanny valley. This span of space is where things which lose their similarities to humans goes but as soon as it become more human-like it suddenly has a spike into a more positive response from people.
I've been researching it a bit, since my character for season five (which I hope I will get into this time) has automatonophobia, and I don't give a character a trait unless I feel I have a good grasp on said trait (you should have seen the amount of research I put into synesthesia for season three). As one who is used to making characters for RPGs, I've actually put a lot of work into her, which of course means I'll that much more disappointed if I'm passed over again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
