Over the weekend I read, but didn't participate in, a Twitter discussion over whether or not X-Men saved comic book movies as opposed to Blade, which dropped two years prior.

John Cena vs Kevin Owens: OMG!! Wow. Match of the Night, easily. I'm not a regular NXT viewer so I haven't had a full sampling of what Owens can do in the ring.

Here we go again
Until we actually see the movie, Fantastic Four is going to be a source of debate this year. Michael B. Jordan offered an excellent retort to anyone opposed to his casting here.

Age of Ultron vs The Moron Brigade
So less than a week after from the Avengers: Age of Ultron theater release, the complainers have descended upon us. People just can't help themselves these days it seems. Instead of enjoying a really awesome movie some people have to concoct some 'well actually' argument and run to the internet to get some recognition. There … Continue reading Age of Ultron vs The Moron Brigade
