Some funny reactions to Sunday's most recent episode of HBO's Game of Thrones, particularly The Red Wedding.

Joss Whedon is only working on two projects at the moment, The Avengers 2 and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so he theoretically is 'turning' in a new draft paragraph for one of the two.

JUST TURNED IN LATEST DRAFT of paragraph that realistically sells Jeff Goldblum's ID4 "virus" notion.Very close...

I think the draft Joss is talking about is in reference to Avengers since the Chitauri all died similarly to how the aliens died in ID4.

And yea, last night's GOT is still embedded in my head. Crazy.

He said just turned in latest draft...

MAN OF STEEL!

I love Dave Bautista's absolute pride in his role. It really makes me believe that he will pull off the best Drax possible.

SuperSam - 6/3/2013, 5:21 PM

I mistakenly read this as "Joss Whedon's script, inspiration from Man of Steel." :P

Diane Lane... Time has little affect on you. You're still amazing.

i enjoyed Bautista's thoughts alot.

FightAs0ne - 6/3/2013, 5:50 PM

This may be the wrong area to bring it up, but why do people hate slo mo so much? I know if it's done wrong, it's very crappy (Resident Evil movies), but it's Zack Synder. He's slo mo scenes are entertaining and aren't drawn out and they're used in the right fashion. I would've like to have seen Supes hit Zod in the jaw slo mo, then go flying away. Just my thoughts....

The death of the Chitauri was straight out of the Ultimate Avengers cartoon, so I was fine with it. And slo mo is fine when it is isn't used every other scene, then it just sort of loses the luster and cool of it. Some slo mo is great, some is just terrible. Like a sporting event with too many replays, you would hate it if they slo mo'ed a routine 3 yard run for a first down. If it fits a cool scene and gets spread out, it's awesome.

Bautista is awesome! A perfect Drax to me.

Ma and Pa Kent are absolutely great cast!
Man of Steel MOVIE OF THE YEAR!

Huh. I don't follow wrestling and know next to nothing about the dude, but that rant just made me a Dave Batista fan.

RexDartEskimoSpy - 6/3/2013, 6:35 PM

Bautista. Stupid autocorrect.

Wynters387 - 6/3/2013, 8:02 PM

Last time I watched wrestling was when Bautista was just starting to become big. I didn't care much for his character. However, lately hearing him and reading this rant I find that he is as likable as RDJ. Honestly, that was a great inspirational speech. I know I could use a verbal swift kick in the butt to put pen to paper and finally get some writing under my belt.

@RexDartEskimoSpy and Wynters387
pretty inspiring stuff from the guy. I'm starting to really like him

thebearjew - 6/3/2013, 8:22 PM

thebearjew - 6/3/2013, 8:22 PM

Floke - 6/3/2013, 9:31 PM

It was impossible to read Big Bs rant without thinking someone starting a Cool Runnings slow clap in the end. He seem like a great guy. Hope he does well.
