Extended Ramblings on Age of Ultron Pt. 2

Image
We ended part one of this article on the twins, so lets pick up right there. Again there are going to be big spoilers about Age of Ultron , so if you happen to be one of the last six or so people who haven't gotten around to seeing the movie yet, you should not read any further. Especially since the biggest spoiler of the movie is coming up next. Ok? ok. Spoilers start now. We need to talk for a second about Quicksilver, and his eventual fate in the movie. There have been a few reactions to Quicksilver's death, but here's the one that I actually feel strongest about. Now that Quicksilver has died, he needs to stay dead. Let me take you back across some of Marvel's Phase Two collection of movies, starting with the previous Avengers movie. In that movie we watched Coulson die and it was a very powerful moment. It was the dead of someone who we didn't really expect and in may ways didn't know how much we cared about him until he had died. That's what mad...

Extended Ramblings About The Age of Ultron Pt. 1

Note: This is not a review of Age of Ultron. Not Really. If you want a review, you should go see it. It's pretty good. As good as the first one? Debatable. Very different than the first one, But it is good. What this is, is exactly what it says on the box. A collection of extended, somewhat disorganized, ramblings about Age Of Ultron. Judging by the amount of money it made over the past several days, there is a fair chance that you've seen Avengers: Age of Ultron by now. So for the purposes of this article, we're going to assume that you've seen the movie and will be dealing with a spoiler or two getting down and discussing the bulk of the movie. So consider this a spoiler warning for the remainder of the article. Spoilers Start Now! There is a general feeling when it comes to sequels, especially action and superhero sequels, that the stakes have to be raised the second time out. After all we saw our hero survive whatever threat the first movie had to offer, a...

The Non-Spoiler Review - Avengers: Age of Ultron

Image
It's going to be really difficult to talk about this movie because some of the things I'm most excited to talk about are major spoilers However, that spoiler-filled review will be coming possibly at the beginning of next week once the vast majority of you have been able to see it yourselves. The problem with this film is that is faces the rough task of carrying the same amount of excitement that the first Avengers had. The major appeal of the first one was the pure excitement over finally seeing the big four finally fighting together in the same movie. All of that is now out of the way and Age of Ultron now has to keep us interested when some of that "newness" wears off. Basically, the challenge of this movie is "you've got us on the hook, don't screw up reeling us in." Does Age of Ultron accomplish that? I absolutely do. I'm not going to say if I prefer one over the other just yet, that may take a couple more viewings in the coming months b...

Sesame Street is the place to be for Parody

Parodies can vary greatly when it comes to quality. Sometimes you can find a gem like Airplane. More often than not you find Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, The Starving Games, etc. But in this day and age where quality parodies seems to be few and far between, do you know where you can actually find a parody or two that are not only hilarious, but actually educational for kids as well? That's right, Sesame Street has stepped up to the plate recently, and cranked out several great parodies of recent pop culture. Check out just a small selection below of what Sesame Street has to offer. Game of Thrones: House of Cards Les Mis Avengers: Age of Ultron  But believe me,this is but the beginning, of what Sesame Street has to offer, They've done Star Wars , Sons of Anarchy , Mad Men , Twilight , Lord of the Rings , Harry Potter , the list goes on and on.

Ok, it only seems fair to say right up front that this is fake.It's been stated that this is a fake. I personally believe that it's a fake (If it were real, there would be quite a lot of audience noise the moment that a certain something was revealed, even if it was a room full of snobby movie critics. That ending is just something you react to.) Normally I wouldn't report on fake, already debunked news, but this one is actually put together really well, and pretty enjoyable. If you don't want to watch on the very very very, off chance that this is the ending to Avengers (or maybe even to Ant-Man later this summer) I can't say I blame you though.
