From Disney's point of view, they probably feel like they don't need to do much to sell this movie. It's a movie featuring the two most popular characters from the Fox version of the franchise coming together in an actual Marvel Studios movie. That's plenty of selling points before they even...

I think I like the idea of a Sony/Paramount union, definitely more than one with WB. (Especially if it pulls Paramount into Movies Anywhere.)

It's a bad term to use as a generic catch-all. With kleenex and band-aid, the basic product is the same across the board -- it doesn't matter if you get a brand name Band-Aid or some generic bandage from the grocery store, it's going to do the same thing. It's more like using "softcover" or...

I don't like how they only refer to "DVDs" in the rebuttal.

And they kept him alive for 20 or so years until Geoff Johns killed him off a couple of years before the next reboot. The current status quo has both Kent parents alive and well -- just don't ask too many questions about how.

CBS really needs to change its thinking when it comes to post-sports programming. They have similar problems most Sundays in the fall, and the biggest problem is their insistence of always showing 60 Minutes in its entirety. In this case, they should have just used 60 Minutes as a filler...

I'm assuming WB is continuing their stingy trend of not including digital codes with the TV shows anymore, even when all previous seasons have included them? Although I had given up on seeing the disc release at all given the delay since the end of the season's airing, so I am pleasantly...

Another round with FedEx....still won't carry my packages to the front door, instead leaving them at my garage. To make it worse, they left it leaning against my garage door, so it fell over as I hit the button on the opener. The way my house, driveway, and road are all angled, I'm usually...

I don't think the creator ever really understood the premise or concept of his own show. I always felt that the strength of the first season wasn't so much in that season itself but in the potential of future seasons. Unfortunately, they never really progressed the premise forward, so we were...

I watched True Lies for the first time a couple of weeks ago, courtesy of this new 4K disc release on my 65" TV. I liked it. The picture was fine. There was only one point of the film where I noticed anything weird, and that was the writing on the invitation at the beginning. If it hadn't...

I thought most sports channels - notably ESPN - were in 720p anyway. That's what they chose in the early days of HD because they felt it was better for capturing the fast motion of sports.

Today was the launch of the new revamped Target Circle, so there's a new set of rules as to how the rewards program works. Most notably, no more 1% earning of Reward credit for every purchase. I don't know if I've seen anyone confirm that they missed out on an offer that they previously would...

I matched up Columbia Classics 4 with a couple of Star Wars omnibus volumes. Once I factored in the additional 10% off Circle offer, a $10 giftcard I got for ordering enough Lego product in a previous sale, and the Target Rewards I had built up, I think I got everything for about $58 each...

Anytime I do a "force stop" on an app, it tells me that doing so might cause the app to not function properly. If it was working properly, I wouldn't be trying to do a "force stop".

I've noticed something with the Vudu/FAH app on my TV the last few days. Whenever I first try to open the app, I just get a blue or gray screen and nothing loads. I have to go "force stop" the app and then start it again, and it'll load up properly that time. It could be any number of...
