- @grrlinterrupted Hi Rachie! Drink water! Collect yr hangover remedies! Say hi to yr ham for me in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- RT @SFXmagazine: "I'm gonna slice em, I'm gonna dice them!" Hugh Jackman's snippet from Wolverine the musical. (Not really happening!) ->
- @grrlinterrupted I am ok! She is ok! Latest Dr reports are good in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- RT @empiremagazine: Kit Harington got a text during the Seventh Son press conference. We're sort of hoping it said, 'You know nothing, Jon … ->
- @grrlinterrupted Did you see Pacific Rim? I am thinking of dyeing my hair like Mako in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted I don't think the fight scenes are long. Hm. GIANT ROBOTS. But Mako Mori is a really good character. They get the Asian… in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted …stuff right. I really loved it in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted Heh. Kind of no? There is epic BroTP between the male & female lead which is a nice change in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted Like… the BroTP is so epic that after the film ends it has scope for developing into romance in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted Solid 9. I'd want more of some of the minor characters, but can see how time constraints would prevent it in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted Fight scenes for epic fightiness get 10 tho in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted Also, 10 on the epic omg feels-o-meter in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT GIANT ROBOTS? My heart basically exploded with joy in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted "buff hotties working in pairs" wrong on both counts. not all hotties, not all pairs in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted " straight monster-on-robot" not read that fic yet, but I don't think the robot-on-robot fic was straight technically in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted "solemn character journeys" WRONG. THE CHARACTER JOURNEY THING IS A GOOD THING in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted "sub-Christopher Nolan" Nolan is way overrated. And his Dark Knight Trilogy wasn't that good in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted "really little of the imaginative and visual flair" The writer is robotist. Blatently. And monsterist. in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted "a Guillermo del Toro movie" whut? This is kind of a real-world set film, so aside from the monsters it can't be airy-fairy in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted "weirdly indeterminate cross-cultural sludge, a homogenised, vaguely imagined zone" :/ in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted This reviewer has entirely missed the point of the film. America doesn't save the world. The World saves the world. in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted also, a million points deducted for using "beautiful" in reference to Mako. It's not the 2nd word I'd describe her with in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted also another million points for attempting to reference Real Steel, a film everyone has actually forgotten in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted also the "detached, impersonal spirit" thing is wrong. Del Toro specifically made a film that… in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted …the 11 year old him would have exploded while seeing. Also put in messages that he'd want kids to see in a film in reply to grrlinterrupted ->

- RT @HollowCrownFans: Tom Hiddleston is at #SDCC IN COSTUME!
http://t.co/ovcKz0M7WU
#KingLoki -> - RT @SFXmagazine: Hiddleston's is a legend. "Say my name" and so the whole of hall h did chant Loki. "It seems I have an army" ->
- RT @mikeryan: Here's Tom Hiddleston dressed as Loki on stage at hall h. http://t.co/GAToPoUmDn ->
- RT @tbq_: Anyone want to place bets on DC doing anything during the remainder of #SDCC to acknowledge that women exist? Anyone? Anyone? ->
- RT @McKelvie: Karen Gillan has shaved her head for the role of Kieron Gillen in Guardians Of The Galaxy. ->
- RT @comingsoonnet: The Avengers sequel will be titled Avengers: Age of Ultron! http://t.co/4SsUBmReNR #SDCC ->

- RT @kierongillen: I'm starting to suspect that @KarenGillan2 is performance art trolling me. I salute her. ->
- @thelifeof_rose Hilariously, the t-shirt I picked at random from the black tshirt shelf is the Loki's Army one in reply to thelifeof_rose ->
- @piratemoggy Could you just tell him it has Wolverine in it and he's busy with X-men movies? in reply to piratemoggy ->
- @grrlinterrupted I don't think I ranted as much tho. It's pretty much just another action movie, whereas Trek is supposed to have values in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @four_eels Is that the one about the were-hedgehog? in reply to four_eels ->
- RT @Film4: Trekkies! At 4:45pm we're screening Star Trek: Insurrection, directed by the one and only @jonathansfrakes: http://t.co/bZQB0UlR… ->

- Mum wants to watch Star Trek: Insurrection "Have I seen this one? Is it where they are all young again?" ->

- @thelifeof_rose I think you can do both in reply to thelifeof_rose ->
- @thelifeof_rose but probably better jusssst before he goes on I think. They'll get a BILLION questions in reply to thelifeof_rose ->
- @katin_crawford That's when you whip out your travel bat'leth and eviscerate them right? in reply to katin_crawford ->
