My 6 Favorite Things of 2014
Attention young people who read my blog, let me make one thing perfectly clear: when adults say that time flies when you’re older, they are 100% right! Jeez louise, I can’t believe 2014 is already over! Where the heck did the year go? How did I get this old?! What the heck did I do with myself?
All griping aside, how about we look back and share our favorite things form 2014?
I’ve known better years
The problem with that, however, is that I can’t really remember everything I did in 2014! I have no idea what I was into last March! That was a forever ago (even though it feels like only yesterday). Was there anything to enjoy in 2014? Or was it just one big slog of depression? If you join me after the jump, we can find out together!
The Hobbit Finale Comes Out This Week!
Martin Freeman is kind of awesome.
So I’m definitely excited for The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies – or as I like to call it, The The: The The of The The Thes. The Hobbit movies haven’t been as good as The Lord of the Rings masterpieces, but I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I just gotta find a three hour block to fit it in.

Cinema Sins Doesn’t Understand the Vanishing Cabinet
Cinema Sins has gotten around to doing Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. It’s pretty good, but they really don’t seem to understand the storyline with Draco and the Vanishing Cabinet.
Granted, maybe they’re only paying attention to the movie version of the story, but I’m pretty sure they mention somewhere that Draco spent the year repairing the Vanishing Cabinet, and that’s why he was testing it with an apple and a bird. Beyond that, the team does find some nifty plot holes to poke fun at. I never bought into Ron and Hermione’s relationship either!

And Just Like That, I’m Totally in Favor of Marvel’s New Inhuman Policy
There has been a lot of talk about the Inhumans recently, and for good reason. For one thing, they’re going to get their own big budget movie in 2018 as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For another thing, there has long been a rumor that Marvel wants to reposition the Inhumans in their comic book universe to take over for the X-Men, because FOX Studios owns the rights to the X-Men movies, and Marvel wants to find a way around that.
For the longest time, I thought this was a ridiculous idea. I’ve never been an Inhumans fan, and I thought it was just silly for Marvel to force them down our throats just to get their way and spite FOX.
But after watching the mid-season finale for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and reading Axis #7, my normally curmudgeony mind has been altered! It’s as if I’ve personally undergone comic book Terrigenesis!
Even Blackbolt cheered when Skye shot that guy!
Consider me completely on board with Marvel’s new Inhumans policies and plans. I’m a huge fan of the X-Men, but right now, they are old news. The Inhumans are the way to go, and I can’t wait to see all of Marvel’s plans come to fruition!
What the heck am I talking about? Join me after the jump to see what I mean! Oh, and SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Axis and Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Nifty New Trailer for Pixar’s Next Film, Inside Out
That was a pretty funny trailer, but I’m still not sold on Inside Out. I love the voice cast, but the premise kind of bugs me. This very much seems like a ‘wacky characters’ type of kids movie. Not saying those are always bad, but I expected more from Pixar.
Granted, I thought Brave would be more, but that was a huge let down. Bears? Come on!
