Before I forget... Oh, yeah - Happy Thanksgiving, USA.

And The Rest... Been relaxing with Minecraft on my "day off" before The Big Weekend kicks off. Tomorrow - almost today, in all honesty - will most likely be a lot like today, but with added packing (which I haven't even begun thinking about yet!). At some point in the next 24 hours, I will be a bit rushed off my feet...

Oh dear, looks like we're in danger of racing ahead of the US as far as Agents of SHIELD is concerned, as the show takes another "week off". So far, the show has done pretty well, given that it can't really stray into "big guns" territory, unless it's following up on a recent movie, such as THOR - THE DARK WORLD, as it has done these last two weeks. They really should have a "big name" (of sorts), floating in and out of the background, not exactly racing to the rescue all the time, but... well, reminding you that this IS The Marvel Universe. Several names would spring to mind if I put some thought into it - it's so much fun to spot a reference and go "Yeah...!"

Review: THOR - The Dark World One question: can the THOR sequel match the original for quality and entertainment, AND keep Marvel's grand plans simmering away nicely?

One answer: YES. And this is why...

WARNING: Spoilers Abound! )

The Final Verdict... More Asgard, more background, more heavy-duty action - more foreshadowing. An excellent addition to Marvel's grand scheme - and watch for BOTH the "extras" during and after the credits! 8.5/10

Oh, and there's a great Captain America cameo!

A bit delayed, but here's the round-up of this weekend's video posts: more from Dungeon Master, and a further chapter of Minecraft: Building Stargazer...



...



More recently... Okay, the local cinema does - sadly - seem to be "losing it". There's no sign of any screenings of THOR - THE DARK WORLD on Opening Day, or perhaps even in Opening WEEK, so I have to go out of town, AND take a day off. And that makes the whole excursion expensive...

Let's try it THIS way...

ITEM! Ye gods and goddesses, the next couple of years are going to be FUN...

CCI: Marvel Reveals Titles For Thor, Captain America Sequels... AND the "Phase 2" movies for Ant-Man (be interesting to see how this pans out), and *deep breath* Guardians Of The Galaxy.

YES.

The dates to remember:-

THOR - The Dark World - 8th November 2013
Captain America - Winter Soldier - 4th April 2014
Guardians Of The Galaxy - 1st August 2014
(and I now have a new netbook wallpaper for the first time in 18 months...)

Oh, and I WILL go to the cinema to see all of these. Gladly. I will also buy the home releases, when they come around. I am not one of these people who're jumping up and down with glee that Government and ISP attempts to clamp down on "Pirate Bay" and the like have been ineffective. I pay talented people to entertain me, and I expect NOTHING for free except the air I breathe.

It makes me think that maybe I'll stop posting FREE story material, and compile it into "issues" I can *gasp* sell as e-books. The Darkhawk Diaries reaches its tenth anniversary next year, and I haven't seen a single penny back for my efforts. Maybe it's time to change all that. A new system may help the creative process, creating actually books instead of episodic content. The facilities are all there, and in use...

A lot to think about there.
