Storm Rider

" I was disappointed with the Black Widow. Natalie? Come on! I can appreciate switching character ethnicities to be clever, but nationalities? Other than that, it was fun. Gwyneth Paltrow was annoying. "

"Scarlet Johansson is downright worthless in this film."
 
Well, I was liking the review up until that sentence. The qualifier "in this film" helps some, but I would pay to see her do anything, or nothing at all, in just about any film. I will not "go to the mat" in defense of many actresses, but Scarlett is no mere actress. She is so much more than "just a pretty face" as others have described her. That is but ONE of her amazing assets! ;)
(Hey, I've got a thing for Scarlett; I apologize to no one!)
 
At any rate, I saw this earlier today and thought it was great. I liked it a little more than the first one, Ms. Johannson being but one of the reasons.

As much as I enjoyed this issue, there's still no indication of the various elements coalescing into a single story. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the review. With the bi-weekly schedule I'm sure we won't have to wait long for things to start making sense though. Overall, I say 4 out of 5 as a standalone issue; probably 5 out of 5 in a few weeks when I reread it after everything has started coming together.

The real reason? Superman, the original costumed hero, was designed to have the sleek look of the circus acrboats and wrestlers of the era. They wore the trunks over tights, the creators thought it was a good look to give him, and the costumed hero was born. All who came along after set out to emulate Superman, and the rest is history.
 
A lot of wrestlers wear them like that to this day. Some of it is for support, some like the look because it emulates the classic superheroes (who were, in turn, emulating the original wrestlers, thus completing the cycle).

A lot of these movies are pretty well known. 
 
One that I rate pretty high that not a lot of people have heard of is Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon (2007, Anchor Bay Entertainment).

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but does anyone ever fact-check and/or update stories here? It was originally falsely believed that Colon was attacked and robbed, but the story was quickly corrected with the truth. As it turns out, Colon injured his shoulder at home, was taken to the hospital, and in his absence his home was robbed of some of his artwork. 

"I recall they were trying to make a movie a few years back with Triple H. Then, I heard nothing more about it's further development. "

 
I don't think I've ever seen two people try to dance around key plot points and story elements for over ten minutes while reviewing a book ---until now. That was entertaining on so many coffee-fueled and spolier-avoiding levels. 
 
And you're both right; Blackest Night 7 is great and the ending leaves so much up in the air for the climax in issue 8.

So, this is the X- title where Emma quits the X-Men and becomes a hip hop dancer in rap videos. Either that or she's facing a serious addiction to In 'n Out Burger. Storyline possibilities abound.
 
-- I mean, I'm not saying it's bad, it just looks a little off-model for Emma.
