What Comics/Storylines maybe will influence Age of Ultron?

Obviously, the film is called AGE OF ULTRON, but that doesn't mean it is inspired by that storyline.



From everything I have seen so far, I see hints of:



- THE ULTIMATES

- AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED

- HOUSE OF M

- ULTRON UNLIMITED



The Ultimates because the filmmakers for all the Marvel films have looked to The Ultimates in some way, especially for the costume designs.



Avengers Disassembled because that is the comic that 'ended' in a way the classic Avengers roster and was pre-Civil War and from what Kevin Feige has said, it looks like the roster will change by the end of the film.



House of M because I see maybe an influence from the Scarlet Witch creating Visions for the team and I see some of that in the film.



Ultron Unlimited because in my opinion this the best and most iconic Ultron story and involves Ultron invading/eliminating a European country which we know is also involved in Age of Ultron. Black Panther, Vibranium and Wakanda is also in this storyline.




2019 - The Wolverine Recast Thread

It's inevitable that 2017 will have Hugh Jackman's last turn as Wolverine before he hangs up the claws and while there will be a break in 2018 for X-Force, the following year is absolutely going to require somebody new in the role.



Emile Hirsch is my top choice since he has the rugged look down, he'll only be 34 when the film comes out and he's only 5'7 which is close to Logan's actual height in the comics.




The Werewolf Game

Turns out I put this in the wrong board last time. Hopefully that one will get deleted.



This is pretty much a version of mafia.



In The Werewolf Game, there are two teams. The wolves and the humans. There will be significantly fewer wolves. TWG is split into Nights and Days. In Nights, the wolves can kill one of the humans. At Day, everyone votes to lynch/kill someone, usually someone who is acting suspicious. To vote, one would type 'Lynch: ---'. The person with the most votes gets eliminated. After Night, it becomes Day. After Day, it becomes Night. Games usually start at Night, but they can start at Day as well. Nights and Days are numbered (Night 1, Day 1, Night 2, Day 2, Night 3 etc). The humans win when all of the wolves are dead. The wolves win when the number of humans equals or is smaller than the number of wolves.



Human -
Basically, a Human votes and does strategy. They vote for who they think is suspicious, and they should attempt to band together to form an alliance.

Miller
-
There are two Millers. They know who each other are but aside from that they are humans.

Miller


Disguised Wolf - Comes up as in green in seer checks, but is a wolf.

Seer -
Every night, the Seer asks the Host the colour of someone in the game. The host will reply. For example, Humans are green and Wolves are red.
Guardian - Can protect someone from being wolfed each night. If the wolves attack the protected user, that user is not killed.


Wolf - An ordinary wolf, no special powers.

Brutal Wolf - When lynched, someone of the brutal wolf's choice dies too.

Mason - The mason is told to be a human, but comes up as red in seer checks.



If you would like to play the game, sign-up below. Feel free to ask any questions.

Full Screen DVDs: Why?

Seriously, why were they ever a thing? Was it because it was still so close to the VHS age?



It pisses me off because, at one point, I was young and naive enough to think that full screen was the better option. The first two of Raimi's Spider-Man movies, the whole LOTR trilogy, and I think the first two Harry Potters too... :argh:



Luckily Target has the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy for, like, ten dollars, and both of the Spider-Man movies for a few dollars a piece, but I wouldn't be Sawyer if I wasn't raging about something. :o

Michelle Obama states white lady was racist to ask her for help at Target

Remember when Michelle went to Target to prove she’s just like anybody else? She talks about that harrowing experience in a very serious story titled, “The Obamas: How We Deal with Our Own Racist Experiences.” “I tell this story – I mean, even as the first lady – during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn’t see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn’t anything new.”



“No one knew that was me because a woman actually walked up to me, right? I was in the detergent aisle, and she said — I kid you not — she said, ‘Excuse me, I just have to ask you something,’ and I thought, ‘Oh, cover’s blown.’ She said, ‘Can you reach on that shelf and hand me the detergent?’ I kid you not…And the only thing she said — I reached up, ’cause she was short, and I reached up, pulled it down — she said, ‘Well, you didn’t have to make it look so easy.’ That was my interaction. I felt so good.” And everybody laughed. Because they’re racists.



:confused:



Why would a short lady be racist to ask a tall lady to get something from a top shelf?



:confused:
