Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 running time 56:15
Is Benjamin Button just Forrest Gump redux? We get bodyslammed by The Wrestler! Play Auditorium! Plus, Superman comics: is there one Dan will love?
This week in Movies:
Alex, Dan, and Jeff start off with the new Fincher/Pitt collaboration, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. They have had very high expectations for the film, does it live up?
And Darren Aronofsky's newest, The Wrestler has been gaining a lot of Oscar buzz. Do the guys smell what Mickey Rourke is cooking?
This week in Video Games:
The last couple of months have been a non-stop onslaught of new, high-profile $60 games. For the last show of 2008, Alex, Dan, and Jeff take a look at one example of a great, completely free game, Auditorium, and discuss the ways in which paying for games is changing.
This Week in Comics:
Somehow the guys have never discussed the grandaddy of all superheroes, Superman. They remedy that situation this week with with two very different trade paperbacks, the new All Star Superman, and the classic, Superman: Secret Identity.

" This weekend movies we are talking about the last Q what Oscar potential winning flicks. -- really gets busier correct. Because this is alas it's okay. Aren't -- that is that's happening curious case of Benjamin button and the wrestler the first woman talk about. Curious case Benjamin button issues and the latest from. Seven and fight club. Is -- actor David -- Mom and -- and -- okay. It's based on an F Scott Fitzgerald. Short story you know here has very little in common with and I'm not -- it nine pleasant surprise me off from bush short story moved to movies like. Well the words it alerted both and it is essentially. Com. There's about Brad Pitt is there's more on an old man. I grows younger. Over the course of twentieth century. And and that technical achievement. In on the argument I'm against acts they may opinions to. For old men bodies throughout the filming and initially. Pleased. Brad -- head on these bodies -- on amongst lots of makeup effects and on the stuff so. Own what did you think of the curious case of Benjamin. You know going in I think oh sorry -- She got jackets -- so it's also written by Eric Roth. Who is a Hollywood darling right here and he's written on big movies they only want to remember right now is very significant gains -- come."
" Accidentally. -- that's okay IE I think. We've talked about this movie in anticipation several times Michelle and I -- always expressed a great deal of excitement about it. And I went into a movie fully expecting it to blow my mind and on the and -- be my favorite movie of the year and I think perhaps that was an unfair level of expectation because while I did enjoy the movie a lot. It wasn't that I think this is a story. Of love across time. Maybe not finding at the right -- finding it better at other times that kind of story which I think has been done better in Forrest Gump. It also has been done better in time traveler's wife which is a novel that will become film and hopefully supposedly novel. There's a lot to like about this movie I think Brad Pitt's performance is great I think that -- is the most stunning. Beautiful. Incredible woman I have ever seen on film I fell madly in love with -- in this film. A lot of her head on other people's bodies also. But on there is this beautiful segment in the middle where their lives Criss cross and they -- together. Act the right moment and can be in love and they have nothing in all they have is his apartment with a mattress and in hand and it is. The definitions me of the perfect relationship and I think. Much as I always used to say I've always said that when I was a kid the movie Scrooge. Affected me because -- when he looks and himself and he sees. Giving gifts at Christmas that the girl. That as a kid was always like Sunday that's what our relationship is going to be life has I think if I saw this movie at a younger age would've thought that about this because it really is just. Beautiful. And wonderful element in their lives."
" It's interesting I kind of had the opposite. Excitement level. But I and driven towards I was really -- or do we saw the -- like -- it looks awed that okay whatever get a shot. Com and I thought it was good I thought it was it was really get you -- I didn't I didn't think it was not got a parking got to see this ominous about you don't change your life kind of movies. But I was blown away by Brad Pitt's performance and the digital facts. Boy have we come a long way from my favorite scene in the Titanic tuna because I honestly it was like how how even dealing and the same feeling. Rare nowadays is not merely how they did it very rare and also the ways that Brad Pitt plea himself as a king. You know you mean the way that you saw him get. Start old and he felt his voice felt -- he he felt all your still occasionally I really didn't -- was it was. It was great so those moments and not those ones -- anyway I like the fantasy and the news you know the sort of how is he going to end what is going to happen and is it going to be you know this ending here you know what's going to -- it was definitely an enjoyable ride. You know overall wasn't it eighteen long you plan --"
" It. I sent perfectly obvious that you guys because I really didn't enjoy this millionaire I was during war. Doesn't -- I felt I felt as if me."
" Guys -- I -- my extra things around unlike him my right eye and pleasant I didn't think this is best picture material really. On and it and it clears the way they didn't feel that way. It felt like to mean almost as if Eric Roth did not. Rick purposefully didn't want to do of course can't again I don't think it would have been better be in terms. Forrest Gump. Had this fable like quality -- moments. And that that the answer kind of being like ours don't use this this it's foolish man in this world that brings newspapers. This is this indecision and curiosity or something but there was no. And just sort of meandered from -- when there's a trailer as these and won't work your ending shot -- and I am but if there's no history there's other -- just gross things and -- there's nothing interesting happening and the only thing interesting is the concept. But his personality there's nothing. There's nothing really asking about his personality. Is just that he's old and growing. I will say the last act. Affected me yet because finally moving on purpose it wasn't just. Seeing on the life and seen elections like this are starting to really. I'm Malcolm take shape and and it can affect me up also know now I -- has bothered you know. I it was shot -- as his last films have been deemed to -- and it really. I wished I wish on film it. English really lackluster. I didn't see your projected digitally I do not so I I don't think you didn't notice I did it sounds like this -- leasing deal projection of the movies."
" But that's interesting because you know me and digital. And he I was very -- action he's yeah. -- it's it's -- it's there are definitely some silly moments in and I mean like the mothers so sweet in Annapolis hands and."
" I was also disappointed with how how they ended up going. -- in his eighty years later in life and is I was so excited to see that mean wizardry about that was going to work angry little bit of a let down and."
" Movie on. We're gonna talk about on the wrestler and this is under -- asking. -- You know he didn't pottery and recruit originally -- fountain. And it's -- because how fleeing. As a filmmaker that's similar to David fincher and -- worries last week he's an austere filmmaker I Kubrick very composed. Very. Sites precise austere symmetrical balance friends and this movie is shot like a documentary. And a documentary on Randy the ram. Something's -- last name Richardson. -- Richards who didn't just -- Switchers there's all of played by making important. And dad and he's basically all a once great wrestler on meetings. And is now sort of washed up and trying to make something on his life. On and his daughter and all that stuff. So. I'm actually going to go to -- again because I know I mean yeah has I think I did or wrestling and."
" I don't think you guys even know how much of -- wrestling mark. It is I have had twice in my life I have. Had subscriptions to Dave announces wrestling observer before weekly. And if you're probably I mean I'm a huge wrestling mark her mom and and what I would have loved. In the past about the industry is what's -- work. And what's issue I love when they break Kate -- That is what I'm into with wrestling -- the nuts and bolts of behind the scenes I have said that I don't usually buy dvds one of the few dvds down. Is beyond the Mac screen compared -- great documentary but it I have a I have they are actually. You against that he should. -- so I'm not and I I really followed -- up back behind the scenes stuff of of wrestling so I think I'm uniquely. And unit and constantly giving you follow bring water from here with us and oh yeah I know I I follow the in the and not so much anymore but the industry as a whole like how. Where guys go back -- and this movie is -- very much. Inside baseball it feels like like you said it is certainly the first half feels like you're watching a documentary Alex shot. But also the way it doesn't explain stuff for the audience and I wonder how many how much of the audience sees this the doesn't. Had any vested interest in wrestling but just thinks is this fake sport. Will really it'll really sink in because I think his release tremendous. I love how Randy the ram is kind of this amalgamation between Terry funk and Jake the snake Roberts and -- Hulk Hogan -- although they said they were. And he said he was modeling and after Lex Lugar which is really tragic if you know what happened Lex -- He's paralyzed now. Can beat. I I do I adore this film. I think his performance is wonderful and it's it's about redemption and Tom. Man I think I'd like as I don't know of any everybody would have the same experience I did but for me it was so right."
" What I love -- and someone else I am so what else I have someone else and I I hate. I mean I followed wrestling as a kid but by no means was trying to figure for a week. Knows that is probably the best name for a magazine -- magazines IA. I don't think there's anything that. Could've been in this movie to make -- to make me like it anymore. It. I just -- today and it was blinded -- I mean it was mining. It blowing me we've seen a lot. An Oscar movies. I'm not a big fan of crack teammate Alex crime movies which -- seen like seven the last like month right. So I don't of these movies kind of like this sort inexperience and some of them have been great -- okay this. Movie. Was amazing start to finish in the at least for me there were things that. I'm shared and Tommy other filmmakers have done. With light. For meaning jump cuts that he used when it would go from unseen -- it was like. Instead of -- legacy peoples and a car. And you know it turns off the car and in in most movies you see he gets -- there are you see him get out of cars -- delegates is bags insect like this it's like. He pulls the car is a moment jump cuts if he's out of -- walking and it for some reason it kept this like. I turn out just really intense and I loved it and a lot of."
" Mars time in which everything else he's -- is goddess she's been behind she's men who almost brought and I asked me. Yet all you can."
" The rest learn and it is my other our favorite movie of the year no doubt the wrestler. This movie I agree I agree amazing and I was. Fans with a guy who wasn't part of ring of honor which is sort of where some of this movie is set in that realm. And and went to Japan to wrestle him as part of the WWE. And from my critics counter that it felt so true. Paying com what's Mick Foley has just come mountains and spoke about the veracity involved things happens me. But you don't need him as saying that because. It doesn't -- it wouldn't matter if this was completely -- and this is. -- rich you know I mean yeah."
" The platform and fills. Wow did. While and saying wow I didn't have good cook problem you right now I know I'm here and are not needed they're not to use -- Creating. Acquitted and -- Many of whom it is headed is that the that would Songaila anyway Asia on the easy and you know it guys. East coast routine by Laguna no legal hat -- else he's gaining."
" You know -- some movies that. Some movies are heroic act. Is winning the all -- or fining the art of the company and in this movie it's working in Delhi. Like it is it is very Greek movie and and Marisa Tomei is amazing and he is amazing and it's. All."
" You don't pay us about the -- because when that happened. Send me. I really did just like heat up yet he's doing dishes and what he's got it just didn't."
" It is such an intimate film to -- he is you have these small little moments with this man in such intimate quarters and it is. It is such a wrong. Performance. That -- it's not show me it's not."
" It -- there are these little moments of humanity and and and really."
" Don't know when you know the story also of thank you are Mickey Rourke you know it's like it it feels so much. So much deeper because it feels like this guy's. Treading on stuff that he's gone through with substance abuse and and all that -- is such. You really feel like you're right in there with a person like a document -- handle Evan Rachel what is amazing tips."
" To let you know -- I've always felt like he's a square park correction process."
" The maker and he is there's a reason what a lot of talk to me this looks like in squares. And and working as well. And this is is done and completely different style and I love that he can do you get us out at and any as a hip hop and handing it it any other things that he can cause that was that was quick cuts and -- you're pretty in the junk has been so completely. Different than it and he's not as."
" That these different and I love that they followed."
" The characters and anecdotally my shoulder into her highness did you -- on security plan noting also its this metaphor for the old for the walk through the tunnel that do which is what goes yeah. Is but it but the whole movie is that it's like. Also I read -- loss."
" interview with New York where he talked about on the screen that they did where did venture he we're we're having to talk back at the end and usage goes on just got word that rowdy Roddy piper is in the audience and or innocent infants arming them and ask am. I was -- differential is they're talking about the movie rentals -- They're not. It's partly on that but he said that rhetoric I was in the audience and he said he never seen here and asking get some. Nervous and like I don't want to say something and piper stood up and like started giving emotional about -- you know and that's I mean that's the life oval. So many of these guys that's the life that they lead and a slightly they punish their bodies for entertainment of these people who and I thought it was."
" Even a moment I have to say. There was even a moment for me as it as an entertainer. As somebody to that is what I I do professionally. There was definitely moments when I was thinking twenty years now what I -- in Iranian and that."
" To me it was a buzz they're stuck inside -- just -- asking about wrestling you don't team running a -- to. And but doesn't character because it's also."
" About the smaller moments in life that aren't what make heroism and hands shake up against things in this handy things are very typical."
" Took out something where you work -- it it's all wrong involved again everything is is less so well written for."
" Board nominees -- amazing."
" The last few weeks months even we've been talking about -- these torrents of high level video games that come out before the holidays. So if you're like us the holidays -- coming gone. And basically spent our money on video games. So I thought what better way to. Have a last show of the year than talk about a game that absolutely free that everybody can contract. And it's in college auditorium that we've been playing. And it's a flash game by a group called cipher -- my belief. And is a really insisting you need. Casual game experience in fact it's not what we -- is not the full release yet they're releasing this for free and they're asking for. Donations on and and it's. So it's just does a small percentage of what that final game will be in what is it is game where you basically bend the light particles and order to fill up these. Audio box is to create this orchestral. Music. And the way you do that is you haven't been different spheres that do different things to the light particles and made more sense seeing the video behind us."
" This puzzle game. So so about. You know like forty what is. A pilot game about bending light -- around you gotta figure out I don't mean certainly describe experience. And this gain is. Amazing vote orally. And -- usually. Well yeah. -- And it's an experience just playing it puts you in agreement on -- but it's also are really fun challenging. How to get eighteen to be missing puzzle you know. I'm and I loved it businesses. Is up my -- certainly can blossom music and the music is is sort of like and publishing the name it like being on Michelle care I think that he pronounces him. General -- there -- able to -- I'm on my close up czar jobs are. That NASA I was I was Joe Michelle here probably and I I wouldn't say this happens and I can I don't answer it's. -- Carol yes music and songs on the puritans and stuff its new aging action on here has. -- was he doesn't it's very new aging actresses -- exit exercise particular pulse. Okay I don't know. -- Gorgeous music gorgeous looking."
" And -- his arm finally has at all when there's different colors of light need to fill them through colors and it's spectacular at a certain point so did you like it I loved it I mean you know."
" Especially because this can't completely speaks to me which is its. You see -- you -- ten minutes and get so much of an enjoyable experience out of it yet any. And it was it difficult it was not having it start off like SE and just put the ball here and that things -- happening -- one great thing."
" Yeah what's like a probable first off I Saturn you guys but even before the first light particles not just took all three -- somebody --"
" And I and I like okay nothing's touching it and -- I got left and right hey game. So it was really it was really fun because it was challenging but also it was it was sued. And just the act of playing it was comfort yet in -- and Heather came in it was like. What is that that your -- so let him because what its melodic. Yes it's sort of like and you even when they're challenged Lang and even when you're challenged the point of I don't know how to do this you're still -- It's like us fascinating. I hope."
" Yeah and it really great job of exploring all the subtleties of they have is given situation and there's this really cool way of exploring what have. -- Anyway it's a great game and it's totally freeze so its play auditorium dot com as -- get through it and you can check out suddenly you'll be compulsive this. Through dawning on what happens in this week in an interview. Told I didn't do we does is agree that we didn't want to anyway and now we have we."
" Using dirty secrets and Hebron high ousted it was like and you continually. Jump in because tylenol Latin guys laugh yeah. Would I think I'm great music and your brother and -- ruined mind and just and it actually -- unlike."
" Let the glove was what would learn there's -- and that's fine at a Rhode Island and close the -- gonna bring up this idea of our music for free because like. I think a lot of 2008. Has been about the naturalization. Of the micro transaction transaction model you have all these. And of those in Korea that are basically funding including a micro transactions that really hasn't permeated here too much although I changed it I want to hear on people's recommendations for free and I love to have us try -- one killed when it comes because the game wasn't -- it and usually in my street pleasant yet but we're -- let the people Hassan. I'm not now when yeah it is sad you know we we talked about need to speed underground are undercover for example. And we didn't we didn't come up in her review is that you pull into a shop. And it says do you want to use the -- Q in the game or do you want to use Microsoft points that are actual cash money to upgrade your car I think that's where. Gaming is going and want to know what you guys think about that would you what would how would you rather pay for games would you rather play and then if you like did you you buy a little bit stick out on. Well we're druthers I'd buy subscriptions. Because a lot of -- ideas of just paying a subscription and you get you know here's the episodic gaming."
" Yeah yeah yeah here's the price here's the thing that I I don't like spending money. Well -- And I really don't like spending money on things that used to not spend money. It was a big barrier to entry for me to start playing them. Being there I mean I don't think people realize how big environments in atlas from St. Xbox not big barrier for entry. Because this is so that should be free in my opinion. But my opinion can and does change. I think. I would be completely satisfied. Pain force certain. Certain things in I'm just thinking about wow right now because I pay a subscription. For up. Multiple. Hoopla something a lot of -- not. And I would I I think that I would it be okay -- paid for certain things. My problem comes in with things like what I'm worried about home. Which is. There is a free one. There is a way to play this game for free. But. If you really want to experience this if you really want to enjoy it it'll cost. That's -- I hate that I would rather be forced to pay fifteen dollars and not have to worry about it. Then to go. What what I don't you know like I I wouldn't want to play wow where. If you want to get tears seven shoulders it's gonna cost Linux program that's in me is broken because I should be able to have his inexperience. Order."
" About it I mean I don't mind is the guide the whole idea behind -- so we haven't talked about battlefield heroes. Sober account. Since suffering and you can't play -- like -- and it's horrible hypothetical Xbox -- we talked about battlefield heroes but it -- is that model where the actual game play mechanic is. You you you wouldn't you know -- ever going to get I've done."
" But paying for -- can't get playing for that but it's all cosmetic and I think that's basically what home is it's all cosmetic stuff that they want to pay for right."
" Black hole and it's only reason for being used for people to CU gymnastics yeah -- heroes. You're there did you another thing it's just that if you want look cool and that's a cellist but with home. The only thing that it does is to have yourself represented did you. -- tea so let. So let's get it that's it yet but -- is heroes is like. I don't -- I I gotta -- and I'll let -- is a private school I did would you know what if you're putting you're not paying an initial sixty dollars to get it and you're only paying here and there you may end up spending less money -- I agree or more and one way."
" read so well it's an easy thing first of all."
" I think it's totally cool with cosmetic you know -- cosmetic upgrades choice yes."
" I want what happens and I'm all the way you can do that you can kind of get a subscription based with -- Yeah economy and it doesn't work as we don't use it as it did."
" Don't you can yeah I'm actually. Just that we can't won't leave me yeah I mean in Atlanta housing market. Yeah but if it gets the point where I thought it was an undercover. Where. You pay for upgrading cargo whose pastor. You know race doesn't mean that's how it is and I that's like real life mean you're paying -- and spruce up here in the caller. I'm your dogs. Nuns nonsense. So. So -- they can get some sketchy grounds and incomes. -- Six Flags. Only giving it important to get the cotton and beginning -- mean who else out. I think what -- you can pay your way into an online documents mean that. Yeah I know that --"
" I don't I think that mean that the game balancing thing but yeah. I don't know I think I think one of the best games this year that I I enjoyed playing with age of Conan and I would continue playing it except the fact that. If I'm gonna play I have to decide yes and via subscription every single month this game whether or not a -- not like I had to cut -- game out of my life you and -- issue we don't have time to get super in telling them they win these clueless -- I think that's a lot of these I think. So yeah. Communities on I mean that's what would World of Warcraft with Russell asking coming out. One of the things that was that didn't really want to keep doing that is to sucked back in his levels -- Andy's been brought -- that's the problem with it is that there just isn't it's just not possible to play multiple in amounts it's not possible to have multiple monthly fees when I'm like I can't can't do that."
" I know I was tentative new portable. Still frighten. I'm being bundled with other things it means more expensive if I can just -- levels. For five dollars and paying ten dollars for. They knew what was and the original game and as we don't quit and from work rules and our focus more on in the show up on."
" Free game so there's great for games we got they got I heard about harm from our viewers so thank you and sinden suggest is a free games I love to talk about it and honestly some weren't. How long time since we've talked about comics but as always I would like to -- top if you want to see more comic stuff check what is and -- family that you kind of show it every week. And it's great I -- yet check out myself. So I realized that. You know we've been doing comics fervor however long and we are talking about Superman. The man of steel Juan original superhero so we have to remain that situation today and I thought I did -- to start would be All-Star Superman which is. A book by grant more sand and frank quietly. And these the team that did bomb they revitalize new X-Men and they did a great book which -- patent analyst who called me three which are -- yeah. -- money bunny. And this is -- attend the All-Star line there's also All-Star Batman movies -- School I think your congressman script. So the goal of the All-Star line was to create a continuity free version of the big heroes -- people just pick up these stories and check them out. And great remorse and has gone on record and said that his his plan with All-Star Superman mr. -- timeless Superman tales we've of the first trade which I think is only the first six issues. And thumb a lot of those are like one offs and name examines some of Superman's supporting cast Jimmy Olsen was -- stuff. But I think being met -- story is this idea of Superman. Be knowing that he's gonna die and kind of putting his affairs in order. Alex I know you know love superhero stuff I love I love to hear your take on this story particularly. From an artistic standpoint because I think the art frequently is as a very very unique style and it it's off putting to some people. On his its its not really realistic it's sort of is."
" Very detailed but almost exaggerated in a lot of ways gets a little bit lake. Artsy caricature button you know I mean I actually -- giant -- and yeah. Yeah but it's still very realistic community never needed you know I I I was in love with office. I enjoyed it I liked -- a lot. And some of the stories books anymore than the others -- Nelson class act that Lois lane one. -- she sort of disagreement superpowers for a little while loved it loved it. But yeah I just didn't just connect and I don't know quite why it was. There was something about. The sort of the writing style that seemed a little bit like shrine to be super realistic and casual but not sort of making it for me. And -- and maybe it was that this this situations were sort of more one -- that it couldn't really tiny tiny insides are really not and I definitely enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't say that the arts I was off putting to me. But I didn't I didn't care for all that much. So I didn't mean and I turn me off brag book but I was like it wasn't something as they --"
" In either and so is right it's true okay what do you think cannot use is not really your kinda thing. On the get go right. Superhero. Thing big men -- a surprise me."
" Art it is no room tend to be -- its own people is. I love heart and I was the best thing this past part of his comic and it really talk at all. I don't -- My thing was for me hands I think there's going to waste talent and Superman story and wanting his his origin. And the other ends. Forget about his powers and how -- article and things -- didn't moral dilemmas. Because you can always trump -- power and it doesn't matter it's about the decision making. And -- none of that mess. Really."
" Yeah -- I have been. I agree -- my favorite part of this was the art every page I turn I was excited to see what quite it was going to do because this stuff is so dynamic and indeed held and he has interest thing layouts and and it's always. Especially something didn't for instance we three where you turn pages like this -- yeah -- houses in 3-D at some point yeah. You. And I agree that that it was tough to swallow I found no later stuff in this trade better than the first few issues and I think. Even -- history there's there's six more issues that have come out. I think those are even stronger than the ones we read. All but. For the most part I felt like he was trying to capture this like 1940s. Take on Superman and trying to and a read. Find that voice -- Can't yet. -- modernized it and that's what I was had a problem when it it. Felt weird to me and I can't I wouldn't say if somebody was looking for a great Superman story I would not recommend this game. And I wonder however highly recommend the next one we're gonna talk about which is. One of my favorite comic books ever and it's also one of my favorite Superman's stories. It's called us Superman secret identity. And it's by one of my favorite comic book writers and wonderment through comic book artist. The writer is -- you -- and the artist is Stewart in an -- And thanks to Josh for the pronunciation on those -- from iFanboy helped me out that. And Butte -- has written some of my favorite comics of all time marbles which is a book. Every body should read immediately. And another well. America president Gary Condit and a bit and now meant and a book called Astro city which I door also. But she's still need to read immigrants yeah we should already and -- music is one of my favorite writers he's he's a guy he's -- lot of health problems but. When he's when he's right he's he's -- and was grounded realistic interesting takes on superheroes you can find and this is exactly that it's. It's the story of a guy named Clark Kent who in your lives and our world it's it's very much now. He grew up in Kansas so the guy named Clark had grown up in Kansas of course he has made fun outing and resorted to pick Superman. Well one day he wakes up to discover he actually has Superman's powers and it's for issues that were released in. What. Few years ago. Thousands more 2004. And and it kind of takes place or is entire lifetime. As his life sort of mirrors. Superman's. In a lot of ways but it's a very grounded realistic take on what this might be like for person living in a world trying to live with Superman's powers. I one of the reasons I really wanted to talk about it is I suspected it might be something that you would enjoy it and I'm hoping I'm right."
" Well didn't have talked a lot about -- kind of -- on the show and we joked about how can and an Xbox. One -- the only managed it's books and -- like and which is one of my favorite comics he's Superman for all seasons. Just themselves well -- And that's -- origin story. To understand story. And I won't -- this time."
" Mark good I was reading it -- like this it's. Is it does the one times and -- like it's basically one long. Origins story. Public is an entire life right but yet it's an all encompassing. Story of Superman's life. Com or a Superman yeah. Arm and for my money. They're trying to make in this program me and I -- he -- yes he can trilogy. And you whip Tony Gilroy got into Michael Clayton. Andrew -- As immediately easy is it is. It's it's an interesting fantastical idea."
" And it's an interest in human. Like idea that you can relate to."
" In so many ways and I don't I can't relate to everything that."
" When I'm older I'll I'll get this book much more than."
" What Baghdad now an -- I think every five years I can read this series and get more and more out of date and Time Warner -- really. Mezzanine and stuff and."
" Yeah I blew my mind the best comic -- in a very long time if not ever. I literally was reading it and it times would just -- I. Like. It is perfect. Perfect. That."
" The way that he. He the way they -- that this -- that he actually gets a person. To hates. The fact that he's he's associated with Superman. Said then. Either voluntarily. No parallel. His exact. Life. And and not only any voluntarily. Attempt to not mean it is it's a consequence it's a new awesome. It's a concept that you shouldn't be calling (%expletive) on from the usually like this is ridiculous and yet it ever -- work and any heat heat there's a way to get -- that you not only say (%expletive) you say. Not only do I believe that. But. I didn't want. That to happen has happened and it like it was just itself and every single thing that could guide does like -- the newspaper and and you're like a lot out of that and it's completely understand the book and then journals the way he writes the journal's. I don't think you are. Amazing."
" Isn't it amazing that can overlook that now very realistic style didn't do you noticeably absent lately he's a voted all it. When he he's very he's very famous for are picking an actor and casting them in that role and drawing what you think that's. And he has done now lots owns so but it wasn't -- I I just I I don't know for sure I don't know enough about it to be and the pacing of the panels like seeing reveals -- from the pain which is great and I was actually going to bring that up because one of the things it."
" I don't know if I'm supposed to do but just happens to mean by -- season's fastest is that all in the book and and I can't help but experience the entire pages. And so there's so many comics that I am trying to read through here and I just look up racked up -- that's happening in like four."
" It's trying to do that I can I mean can't you guys say garden where he was restored like -- and -- there a chance that it looks normal the next page and go back and actually just I think we need to read more music because I don't way to get respondent."
" And -- marbles."
" Marvelous marvelous marvelous -- McCain I think maybe next consummate will be marbles and now uses motion are because. He's -- he's a very special right."
" Honestly I think you've first avenue experiences it was section journalists to."

" Great great -- there's one thing I have learned in my life. The best thing you can have. For a date. Is a plan of where to go the last thing you want is to go -- throughout -- oh where would you like to go chicks always and they love to spontaneous. And Carly you -- you -- you know just all you gotta know where you don't and that's what the documentaries and also as he."
" You just saw -- they have connected friend connect friend he needs based on MySpace to get your friends together so you can actually be. Whenever the Yiddish word for and that's maker it."
" It's it's ridiculous. Yeah. I'm sorry -- to check that revision to act on such acts it's."
" Bother me also opinions on you used real love love you love me to GoDaddy you want. Eighty domain names -- is only one place to go to get that it's go to any dot com and there's only one promo code used and it's. -- one or two over there are so that is several him -- because you."

And if you uniform because you're gonna get some money off so why did you do that TS one -- you there's a whole lot of heroes numbers tied up he's like Pokemon."
" I -- know for. Humans and aliens can injure our bread is is it your best in trouble yeah but they can I would wish for more wishes could contribute. You don't think that I thought I would start adding that alien Hillary Hillary got alien all the rest as they say they were doing. I think. I think if they killed 50000 people and why do you want to do more -- have done it everywhere you aren't any kind of job unwritten good news I would. And there's a rule -- got. What would you do. What did you pick him -- and I are highlighted -- size does. -- We are already did cause its cars but here's if -- the national council for drink driving is informing you. That law I think some people are somewhere around about there the -- from car crashes. 32%. That. Which means. NASA has been present -- problem drink driving so not just drunk driving having taken a sick child."
" It really does impair your your driving just and then I I was watching this actually there's a study that was done where a guy would just do a shot. You didn't feel he felt fine and then he would drive is also of course and it really does impair your driving yeah. So I think. We should get drunk and go kick the crap on those aliens because those guys are Jewish facts you did yeah anyway letters on -- up. You know we're seeing about your -- you're paying me. I but hopefully you'll have Paris and nice and Blair is -- letter sent -- driving home if you can't drive home yeah we joked around a lot but it this is in a New Year's Eve is is very soon that's one I was -- give us time a lot of people not not mean."
" Aside from the fact that people are gonna die. Yet. There are way more cops on the road New Year's Eve just -- points you you may just lose your license and it's it's not worth."
" And I must say there's also for LA it's worth taking and have the with the cost of by the time you pay ballet and cast right now it I mean. Take a cab it's it's actually really relaxing did you like -- Just hang out out door banging didn't happen arena and it doesn't."
" Israel and I don't know it -- about parliament I think helicopters or helicopter if you don't drive that elegant worthy of that continent shows the problem. -- definitely hundreds showed up at lake. That's funny both."
" I don't write whether. Let's get to even -- an hour later -- Hey TRS do let's just so much from watching since the beginning. Then I forced myself to watch them in order and just finished episode 36. So he'll never seen this. -- Anyway I sat there watching from the beginning but you guys kept recommending too many great shows so I finally just completed all seasons avatar. And -- Two excellent choices one. Yes. And the other as well."
" The way Jeff granted about how much he hates movie trailers and I get is not -- I was allowed back. Yeah today just got me thinking -- question my questions sounded like a time travel -- crazy people we haven't seen discussion. We haven't seen it discussed much by people most -- it's taken for granite why are spoilers. Such a big deal. Personally I find myself better able to enjoy a film I already know and can expect its big surprise moments I can focus more on character development and the emotions of the events -- Elicited by the actors and writing more so than my own surprise emotional response. Ryan PS is -- picture you know one -- the front of me it's really what it is amazing."
" It's just sad it is and I don't have never seen anybody you met anybody saying yes tell me about the into the sixth sense I think as an engine anymore."
" End to a certain extent you really can't argue with personal preference because it -- that person's prefaced by all means they have every right to have that preference shares and let's talk about our personal preference ma oh as I've said many times on the show Hawaii. I think one of the worst things you can do to meet personally and is to spoil whole. A narrative experience and I think the reason that I feel that way is that. No those emotional investment that I get out of not knowing where I'm going to end up. Not and I think the the best kinds of movies are what I'd want -- I don't know going and -- because -- surprise and I don't. Anticipate. I don't try to I can play the game of figuring out and without knowing."
" That I'm right or wrong it's that synthesis. Suspense that I can maintain throughout the entire experience that I think gives me a far richer experience."
" In the movie or book or whatever. You can win winced when you know where you're going to end up you don't. You can either not be emotionally what can be fun to care is -- tires. Right you don't get admit as emotionally resonant character because you know it's it's gonna end up dead you know."
" Well there's something in the ocean -- head. Let's take -- prestige for instance. Where he watched the first time and surprises happen. There's a pleasure that you get from that surprised washing over you when the sixers batters. That surprised Washington agree that you would never have ever again yet don't want it want -- right wants the usual suspects for that matter -- the usual suspects. Or -- or pain or Citizen -- but for that matter. When you watch movie the second time it's a whole new set of pleasures when you could well that we're you know where it's going and you're seeing how only mean that. How -- and it's -- and both are enjoyable experiences. But one you can only have wants."
" You know why not sail on to play devil's advocate here the other one -- there is a third experience which you are not experiencing. Which is the experience of knowing that meat what is going to happen but not knowing the beat by beat. Experiences and Dee the acting and writing what is happening seem they seem to just knowing that one. Thing and what I would actually has -- to say is I don't think I am. It quits. To be able to even offer my -- because I only know one side of it which is not having been -- to be fair Steen. Had an experience with. The usual suspects that you know I -- that that is the only way I almost feel like we would need to have something spoiled. And -- watching it for the first time. --"
" with the fingers I do but no I I think but I think why in general most people don't like -- is because people. I think it's innately human to want this to bring something here what everything you like the comforts of old right you also want -- And spend so spoiler spoil what's -- yeah I feel like that that taking a way that one time experience is. The effect an act of that -- to me I -- you have -- old liability."
" Outs. Too long and it has gone back and learn split up. Later Diana he would like have you now read on the show please feel free senate -- fans act totally rad show dot com and Ryan if you're seeing this."

" This weekend movies we are talking about the last Q what Oscar potential winning flicks. -- really gets busier correct. Because this is alas it's okay. Aren't -- that is that's happening curious case of Benjamin button and the wrestler the first woman talk about. Curious case Benjamin button issues and the latest from. Seven and fight club. Is -- actor David -- Mom and -- and -- okay. It's based on an F Scott Fitzgerald. Short story you know here has very little in common with and I'm not -- it nine pleasant surprise me off from bush short story moved to movies like. Well the words it alerted both and it is essentially. Com. There's about Brad Pitt is there's more on an old man. I grows younger. Over the course of twentieth century. And and that technical achievement. In on the argument I'm against acts they may opinions to. For old men bodies throughout the filming and initially. Pleased. Brad -- head on these bodies -- on amongst lots of makeup effects and on the stuff so. Own what did you think of the curious case of Benjamin. You know going in I think oh sorry -- She got jackets -- so it's also written by Eric Roth. Who is a Hollywood darling right here and he's written on big movies they only want to remember right now is very significant gains -- come."
" Accidentally. -- that's okay IE I think. We've talked about this movie in anticipation several times Michelle and I -- always expressed a great deal of excitement about it. And I went into a movie fully expecting it to blow my mind and on the and -- be my favorite movie of the year and I think perhaps that was an unfair level of expectation because while I did enjoy the movie a lot. It wasn't that I think this is a story. Of love across time. Maybe not finding at the right -- finding it better at other times that kind of story which I think has been done better in Forrest Gump. It also has been done better in time traveler's wife which is a novel that will become film and hopefully supposedly novel. There's a lot to like about this movie I think Brad Pitt's performance is great I think that -- is the most stunning. Beautiful. Incredible woman I have ever seen on film I fell madly in love with -- in this film. A lot of her head on other people's bodies also. But on there is this beautiful segment in the middle where their lives Criss cross and they -- together. Act the right moment and can be in love and they have nothing in all they have is his apartment with a mattress and in hand and it is. The definitions me of the perfect relationship and I think. Much as I always used to say I've always said that when I was a kid the movie Scrooge. Affected me because -- when he looks and himself and he sees. Giving gifts at Christmas that the girl. That as a kid was always like Sunday that's what our relationship is going to be life has I think if I saw this movie at a younger age would've thought that about this because it really is just. Beautiful. And wonderful element in their lives."
" It's interesting I kind of had the opposite. Excitement level. But I and driven towards I was really -- or do we saw the -- like -- it looks awed that okay whatever get a shot. Com and I thought it was good I thought it was it was really get you -- I didn't I didn't think it was not got a parking got to see this ominous about you don't change your life kind of movies. But I was blown away by Brad Pitt's performance and the digital facts. Boy have we come a long way from my favorite scene in the Titanic tuna because I honestly it was like how how even dealing and the same feeling. Rare nowadays is not merely how they did it very rare and also the ways that Brad Pitt plea himself as a king. You know you mean the way that you saw him get. Start old and he felt his voice felt -- he he felt all your still occasionally I really didn't -- was it was. It was great so those moments and not those ones -- anyway I like the fantasy and the news you know the sort of how is he going to end what is going to happen and is it going to be you know this ending here you know what's going to -- it was definitely an enjoyable ride. You know overall wasn't it eighteen long you plan --"
" It. I sent perfectly obvious that you guys because I really didn't enjoy this millionaire I was during war. Doesn't -- I felt I felt as if me."
" Guys -- I -- my extra things around unlike him my right eye and pleasant I didn't think this is best picture material really. On and it and it clears the way they didn't feel that way. It felt like to mean almost as if Eric Roth did not. Rick purposefully didn't want to do of course can't again I don't think it would have been better be in terms. Forrest Gump. Had this fable like quality -- moments. And that that the answer kind of being like ours don't use this this it's foolish man in this world that brings newspapers. This is this indecision and curiosity or something but there was no. And just sort of meandered from -- when there's a trailer as these and won't work your ending shot -- and I am but if there's no history there's other -- just gross things and -- there's nothing interesting happening and the only thing interesting is the concept. But his personality there's nothing. There's nothing really asking about his personality. Is just that he's old and growing. I will say the last act. Affected me yet because finally moving on purpose it wasn't just. Seeing on the life and seen elections like this are starting to really. I'm Malcolm take shape and and it can affect me up also know now I -- has bothered you know. I it was shot -- as his last films have been deemed to -- and it really. I wished I wish on film it. English really lackluster. I didn't see your projected digitally I do not so I I don't think you didn't notice I did it sounds like this -- leasing deal projection of the movies."
" But that's interesting because you know me and digital. And he I was very -- action he's yeah. -- it's it's -- it's there are definitely some silly moments in and I mean like the mothers so sweet in Annapolis hands and."
" I was also disappointed with how how they ended up going. -- in his eighty years later in life and is I was so excited to see that mean wizardry about that was going to work angry little bit of a let down and."
" Movie on. We're gonna talk about on the wrestler and this is under -- asking. -- You know he didn't pottery and recruit originally -- fountain. And it's -- because how fleeing. As a filmmaker that's similar to David fincher and -- worries last week he's an austere filmmaker I Kubrick very composed. Very. Sites precise austere symmetrical balance friends and this movie is shot like a documentary. And a documentary on Randy the ram. Something's -- last name Richardson. -- Richards who didn't just -- Switchers there's all of played by making important. And dad and he's basically all a once great wrestler on meetings. And is now sort of washed up and trying to make something on his life. On and his daughter and all that stuff. So. I'm actually going to go to -- again because I know I mean yeah has I think I did or wrestling and."
" I don't think you guys even know how much of -- wrestling mark. It is I have had twice in my life I have. Had subscriptions to Dave announces wrestling observer before weekly. And if you're probably I mean I'm a huge wrestling mark her mom and and what I would have loved. In the past about the industry is what's -- work. And what's issue I love when they break Kate -- That is what I'm into with wrestling -- the nuts and bolts of behind the scenes I have said that I don't usually buy dvds one of the few dvds down. Is beyond the Mac screen compared -- great documentary but it I have a I have they are actually. You against that he should. -- so I'm not and I I really followed -- up back behind the scenes stuff of of wrestling so I think I'm uniquely. And unit and constantly giving you follow bring water from here with us and oh yeah I know I I follow the in the and not so much anymore but the industry as a whole like how. Where guys go back -- and this movie is -- very much. Inside baseball it feels like like you said it is certainly the first half feels like you're watching a documentary Alex shot. But also the way it doesn't explain stuff for the audience and I wonder how many how much of the audience sees this the doesn't. Had any vested interest in wrestling but just thinks is this fake sport. Will really it'll really sink in because I think his release tremendous. I love how Randy the ram is kind of this amalgamation between Terry funk and Jake the snake Roberts and -- Hulk Hogan -- although they said they were. And he said he was modeling and after Lex Lugar which is really tragic if you know what happened Lex -- He's paralyzed now. Can beat. I I do I adore this film. I think his performance is wonderful and it's it's about redemption and Tom. Man I think I'd like as I don't know of any everybody would have the same experience I did but for me it was so right."
" What I love -- and someone else I am so what else I have someone else and I I hate. I mean I followed wrestling as a kid but by no means was trying to figure for a week. Knows that is probably the best name for a magazine -- magazines IA. I don't think there's anything that. Could've been in this movie to make -- to make me like it anymore. It. I just -- today and it was blinded -- I mean it was mining. It blowing me we've seen a lot. An Oscar movies. I'm not a big fan of crack teammate Alex crime movies which -- seen like seven the last like month right. So I don't of these movies kind of like this sort inexperience and some of them have been great -- okay this. Movie. Was amazing start to finish in the at least for me there were things that. I'm shared and Tommy other filmmakers have done. With light. For meaning jump cuts that he used when it would go from unseen -- it was like. Instead of -- legacy peoples and a car. And you know it turns off the car and in in most movies you see he gets -- there are you see him get out of cars -- delegates is bags insect like this it's like. He pulls the car is a moment jump cuts if he's out of -- walking and it for some reason it kept this like. I turn out just really intense and I loved it and a lot of."
" Mars time in which everything else he's -- is goddess she's been behind she's men who almost brought and I asked me. Yet all you can."
" The rest learn and it is my other our favorite movie of the year no doubt the wrestler. This movie I agree I agree amazing and I was. Fans with a guy who wasn't part of ring of honor which is sort of where some of this movie is set in that realm. And and went to Japan to wrestle him as part of the WWE. And from my critics counter that it felt so true. Paying com what's Mick Foley has just come mountains and spoke about the veracity involved things happens me. But you don't need him as saying that because. It doesn't -- it wouldn't matter if this was completely -- and this is. -- rich you know I mean yeah."
" The platform and fills. Wow did. While and saying wow I didn't have good cook problem you right now I know I'm here and are not needed they're not to use -- Creating. Acquitted and -- Many of whom it is headed is that the that would Songaila anyway Asia on the easy and you know it guys. East coast routine by Laguna no legal hat -- else he's gaining."
" You know -- some movies that. Some movies are heroic act. Is winning the all -- or fining the art of the company and in this movie it's working in Delhi. Like it is it is very Greek movie and and Marisa Tomei is amazing and he is amazing and it's. All."
" You don't pay us about the -- because when that happened. Send me. I really did just like heat up yet he's doing dishes and what he's got it just didn't."
" It is such an intimate film to -- he is you have these small little moments with this man in such intimate quarters and it is. It is such a wrong. Performance. That -- it's not show me it's not."
" It -- there are these little moments of humanity and and and really."
" Don't know when you know the story also of thank you are Mickey Rourke you know it's like it it feels so much. So much deeper because it feels like this guy's. Treading on stuff that he's gone through with substance abuse and and all that -- is such. You really feel like you're right in there with a person like a document -- handle Evan Rachel what is amazing tips."
" To let you know -- I've always felt like he's a square park correction process."
" The maker and he is there's a reason what a lot of talk to me this looks like in squares. And and working as well.

Nervous and like I don't want to say something and piper stood up and like started giving emotional about -- you know and that's I mean that's the life oval. So many of these guys that's the life that they lead and a slightly they punish their bodies for entertainment of these people who and I thought it was."
" Even a moment I have to say. There was even a moment for me as it as an entertainer. As somebody to that is what I I do professionally. There was definitely moments when I was thinking twenty years now what I -- in Iranian and that."
" To me it was a buzz they're stuck inside -- just -- asking about wrestling you don't team running a -- to. And but doesn't character because it's also."
" About the smaller moments in life that aren't what make heroism and hands shake up against things in this handy things are very typical."

And it's in college auditorium that we've been playing. And it's a flash game by a group called cipher -- my belief. And is a really insisting you need. Casual game experience in fact it's not what we -- is not the full release yet they're releasing this for free and they're asking for. Donations on and and it's. So it's just does a small percentage of what that final game will be in what is it is game where you basically bend the light particles and order to fill up these. Audio box is to create this orchestral. Music. And the way you do that is you haven't been different spheres that do different things to the light particles and made more sense seeing the video behind us."
" This puzzle game. So so about. You know like forty what is. A pilot game about bending light -- around you gotta figure out I don't mean certainly describe experience. And this gain is. Amazing vote orally. And -- usually. Well yeah. -- And it's an experience just playing it puts you in agreement on -- but it's also are really fun challenging. How to get eighteen to be missing puzzle you know. I'm and I loved it businesses. Is up my -- certainly can blossom music and the music is is sort of like and publishing the name it like being on Michelle care I think that he pronounces him. General -- there -- able to -- I'm on my close up czar jobs are. That NASA I was I was Joe Michelle here probably and I I wouldn't say this happens and I can I don't answer it's. -- Carol yes music and songs on the puritans and stuff its new aging action on here has. -- was he doesn't it's very new aging actresses -- exit exercise particular pulse. Okay I don't know. -- Gorgeous music gorgeous looking."
" And -- his arm finally has at all when there's different colors of light need to fill them through colors and it's spectacular at a certain point so did you like it I loved it I mean you know."
" Especially because this can't completely speaks to me which is its. You see -- you -- ten minutes and get so much of an enjoyable experience out of it yet any. And it was it difficult it was not having it start off like SE and just put the ball here and that things -- happening -- one great thing."
" Yeah what's like a probable first off I Saturn you guys but even before the first light particles not just took all three -- somebody --"
" And I and I like okay nothing's touching it and -- I got left and right hey game. So it was really it was really fun because it was challenging but also it was it was sued. And just the act of playing it was comfort yet in -- and Heather came in it was like. What is that that your -- so let him because what its melodic. Yes it's sort of like and you even when they're challenged Lang and even when you're challenged the point of I don't know how to do this you're still -- It's like us fascinating. I hope."
" Yeah and it really great job of exploring all the subtleties of they have is given situation and there's this really cool way of exploring what have. -- Anyway it's a great game and it's totally freeze so its play auditorium dot com as -- get through it and you can check out suddenly you'll be compulsive this. Through dawning on what happens in this week in an interview. Told I didn't do we does is agree that we didn't want to anyway and now we have we."
" Using dirty secrets and Hebron high ousted it was like and you continually. Jump in because tylenol Latin guys laugh yeah. Would I think I'm great music and your brother and -- ruined mind and just and it actually -- unlike."
" Let the glove was what would learn there's -- and that's fine at a Rhode Island and close the -- gonna bring up this idea of our music for free because like. I think a lot of 2008. Has been about the naturalization. Of the micro transaction transaction model you have all these. And of those in Korea that are basically funding including a micro transactions that really hasn't permeated here too much although I changed it I want to hear on people's recommendations for free and I love to have us try -- one killed when it comes because the game wasn't -- it and usually in my street pleasant yet but we're -- let the people Hassan. I'm not now when yeah it is sad you know we we talked about need to speed underground are undercover for example. And we didn't we didn't come up in her review is that you pull into a shop. And it says do you want to use the -- Q in the game or do you want to use Microsoft points that are actual cash money to upgrade your car I think that's where. Gaming is going and want to know what you guys think about that would you what would how would you rather pay for games would you rather play and then if you like did you you buy a little bit stick out on. Well we're druthers I'd buy subscriptions. Because a lot of -- ideas of just paying a subscription and you get you know here's the episodic gaming."
" Yeah yeah yeah here's the price here's the thing that I I don't like spending money. Well -- And I really don't like spending money on things that used to not spend money. It was a big barrier to entry for me to start playing them. Being there I mean I don't think people realize how big environments in atlas from St. Xbox not big barrier for entry. Because this is so that should be free in my opinion. But my opinion can and does change. I think. I would be completely satisfied. Pain force certain. Certain things in I'm just thinking about wow right now because I pay a subscription. For up. Multiple. Hoopla something a lot of -- not. And I would I I think that I would it be okay -- paid for certain things. My problem comes in with things like what I'm worried about home. Which is. There is a free one. There is a way to play this game for free. But. If you really want to experience this if you really want to enjoy it it'll cost. That's -- I hate that I would rather be forced to pay fifteen dollars and not have to worry about it. Then to go. What what I don't you know like I I wouldn't want to play wow where. If you want to get tears seven shoulders it's gonna cost Linux program that's in me is broken because I should be able to have his inexperience. Order."
" About it I mean I don't mind is the guide the whole idea behind -- so we haven't talked about battlefield heroes. Sober account. Since suffering and you can't play -- like -- and it's horrible hypothetical Xbox -- we talked about battlefield heroes but it -- is that model where the actual game play mechanic is. You you you wouldn't you know -- ever going to get I've done."
" But paying for -- can't get playing for that but it's all cosmetic and I think that's basically what home is it's all cosmetic stuff that they want to pay for right."
" Black hole and it's only reason for being used for people to CU gymnastics yeah -- heroes. You're there did you another thing it's just that if you want look cool and that's a cellist but with home. The only thing that it does is to have yourself represented did you. -- tea so let. So let's get it that's it yet but -- is heroes is like. I don't -- I I gotta -- and I'll let -- is a private school I did would you know what if you're putting you're not paying an initial sixty dollars to get it and you're only paying here and there you may end up spending less money -- I agree or more and one way."
" read so well it's an easy thing first of all."
" I think it's totally cool with cosmetic you know -- cosmetic upgrades choice yes."
" I want what happens and I'm all the way you can do that you can kind of get a subscription based with -- Yeah economy and it doesn't work as we don't use it as it did."
" Don't you can yeah I'm actually. Just that we can't won't leave me yeah I mean in Atlanta housing market. Yeah but if it gets the point where I thought it was an undercover. Where. You pay for upgrading cargo whose pastor. You know race doesn't mean that's how it is and I that's like real life mean you're paying -- and spruce up here in the caller. I'm your dogs. Nuns nonsense. So. So -- they can get some sketchy grounds and incomes. -- Six Flags. Only giving it important to get the cotton and beginning -- mean who else out. I think what -- you can pay your way into an online documents mean that. Yeah I know that --"
" I don't I think that mean that the game balancing thing but yeah. I don't know I think I think one of the best games this year that I I enjoyed playing with age of Conan and I would continue playing it except the fact that. If I'm gonna play I have to decide yes and via subscription every single month this game whether or not a -- not like I had to cut -- game out of my life you and -- issue we don't have time to get super in telling them they win these clueless -- I think that's a lot of these I think. So yeah. Communities on I mean that's what would World of Warcraft with Russell asking coming out. One of the things that was that didn't really want to keep doing that is to sucked back in his levels -- Andy's been brought -- that's the problem with it is that there just isn't it's just not possible to play multiple in amounts it's not possible to have multiple monthly fees when I'm like I can't can't do that."
" I know I was tentative new portable. Still frighten. I'm being bundled with other things it means more expensive if I can just -- levels. For five dollars and paying ten dollars for. They knew what was and the original game and as we don't quit and from work rules and our focus more on in the show up on."
" Free game so there's great for games we got they got I heard about harm from our viewers so thank you and sinden suggest is a free games I love to talk about it and honestly some weren't. How long time since we've talked about comics but as always I would like to -- top if you want to see more comic stuff check what is and -- family that you kind of show it every week. And it's great I -- yet check out myself. So I realized that. You know we've been doing comics fervor however long and we are talking about Superman. The man of steel Juan original superhero so we have to remain that situation today and I thought I did -- to start would be All-Star Superman which is. A book by grant more sand and frank quietly. And these the team that did bomb they revitalize new X-Men and they did a great book which -- patent analyst who called me three which are -- yeah. -- money bunny. And this is -- attend the All-Star line there's also All-Star Batman movies -- School I think your congressman script. So the goal of the All-Star line was to create a continuity free version of the big heroes -- people just pick up these stories and check them out. And great remorse and has gone on record and said that his his plan with All-Star Superman mr. -- timeless Superman tales we've of the first trade which I think is only the first six issues. And thumb a lot of those are like one offs and name examines some of Superman's supporting cast Jimmy Olsen was -- stuff. But I think being met -- story is this idea of Superman. Be knowing that he's gonna die and kind of putting his affairs in order. Alex I know you know love superhero stuff I love I love to hear your take on this story particularly. From an artistic standpoint because I think the art frequently is as a very very unique style and it it's off putting to some people. On his its its not really realistic it's sort of is."
" Very detailed but almost exaggerated in a lot of ways gets a little bit lake. Artsy caricature button you know I mean I actually -- giant -- and yeah. Yeah but it's still very realistic community never needed you know I I I was in love with office. I enjoyed it I liked -- a lot. And some of the stories books anymore than the others -- Nelson class act that Lois lane one. -- she sort of disagreement superpowers for a little while loved it loved it. But yeah I just didn't just connect and I don't know quite why it was. There was something about. The sort of the writing style that seemed a little bit like shrine to be super realistic and casual but not sort of making it for me. And -- and maybe it was that this this situations were sort of more one -- that it couldn't really tiny tiny insides are really not and I definitely enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't say that the arts I was off putting to me. But I didn't I didn't care for all that much. So I didn't mean and I turn me off brag book but I was like it wasn't something as they --"
" In either and so is right it's true okay what do you think cannot use is not really your kinda thing. On the get go right. Superhero. Thing big men -- a surprise me."
" Art it is no room tend to be -- its own people is. I love heart and I was the best thing this past part of his comic and it really talk at all. I don't -- My thing was for me hands I think there's going to waste talent and Superman story and wanting his his origin. And the other ends. Forget about his powers and how -- article and things -- didn't moral dilemmas. Because you can always trump -- power and it doesn't matter it's about the decision making. And -- none of that mess. Really."
" Yeah -- I have been. I agree -- my favorite part of this was the art every page I turn I was excited to see what quite it was going to do because this stuff is so dynamic and indeed held and he has interest thing layouts and and it's always. Especially something didn't for instance we three where you turn pages like this -- yeah -- houses in 3-D at some point yeah. You. And I agree that that it was tough to swallow I found no later stuff in this trade better than the first few issues and I think. Even -- history there's there's six more issues that have come out. I think those are even stronger than the ones we read. All but. For the most part I felt like he was trying to capture this like 1940s. Take on Superman and trying to and a read. Find that voice -- Can't yet. -- modernized it and that's what I was had a problem when it it. Felt weird to me and I can't I wouldn't say if somebody was looking for a great Superman story I would not recommend this game. And I wonder however highly recommend the next one we're gonna talk about which is. One of my favorite comic books ever and it's also one of my favorite Superman's stories. It's called us Superman secret identity. And it's by one of my favorite comic book writers and wonderment through comic book artist. The writer is -- you -- and the artist is Stewart in an -- And thanks to Josh for the pronunciation on those -- from iFanboy helped me out that. And Butte -- has written some of my favorite comics of all time marbles which is a book. Every body should read immediately. And another well. America president Gary Condit and a bit and now meant and a book called Astro city which I door also. But she's still need to read immigrants yeah we should already and -- music is one of my favorite writers he's he's a guy he's -- lot of health problems but. When he's when he's right he's he's -- and was grounded realistic interesting takes on superheroes you can find and this is exactly that it's. It's the story of a guy named Clark Kent who in your lives and our world it's it's very much now. He grew up in Kansas so the guy named Clark had grown up in Kansas of course he has made fun outing and resorted to pick Superman. Well one day he wakes up to discover he actually has Superman's powers and it's for issues that were released in. What. Few years ago. Thousands more 2004. And and it kind of takes place or is entire lifetime. As his life sort of mirrors. Superman's. In a lot of ways but it's a very grounded realistic take on what this might be like for person living in a world trying to live with Superman's powers. I one of the reasons I really wanted to talk about it is I suspected it might be something that you would enjoy it and I'm hoping I'm right."
" Well didn't have talked a lot about -- kind of -- on the show and we joked about how can and an Xbox. One -- the only managed it's books and -- like and which is one of my favorite comics he's Superman for all seasons. Just themselves well -- And that's -- origin story. To understand story. And I won't -- this time."
" Mark good I was reading it -- like this it's. Is it does the one times and -- like it's basically one long. Origins story. Public is an entire life right but yet it's an all encompassing. Story of Superman's life. Com or a Superman yeah. Arm and for my money. They're trying to make in this program me and I -- he -- yes he can trilogy. And you whip Tony Gilroy got into Michael Clayton. Andrew -- As immediately easy is it is. It's it's an interesting fantastical idea."
" And it's an interest in human. Like idea that you can relate to."
" In so many ways and I don't I can't relate to everything that."
" When I'm older I'll I'll get this book much more than."
" What Baghdad now an -- I think every five years I can read this series and get more and more out of date and Time Warner -- really. Mezzanine and stuff and."
" Yeah I blew my mind the best comic -- in a very long time if not ever. I literally was reading it and it times would just -- I. Like. It is perfect. Perfect. That."
" The way that he. He the way they -- that this -- that he actually gets a person. To hates. The fact that he's he's associated with Superman. Said then. Either voluntarily. No parallel. His exact. Life. And and not only any voluntarily. Attempt to not mean it is it's a consequence it's a new awesome. It's a concept that you shouldn't be calling (%expletive) on from the usually like this is ridiculous and yet it ever -- work and any heat heat there's a way to get -- that you not only say (%expletive) you say. Not only do I believe that. But. I didn't want. That to happen has happened and it like it was just itself and every single thing that could guide does like -- the newspaper and and you're like a lot out of that and it's completely understand the book and then journals the way he writes the journal's. I don't think you are. Amazing."
" Isn't it amazing that can overlook that now very realistic style didn't do you noticeably absent lately he's a voted all it. When he he's very he's very famous for are picking an actor and casting them in that role and drawing what you think that's. And he has done now lots owns so but it wasn't -- I I just I I don't know for sure I don't know enough about it to be and the pacing of the panels like seeing reveals -- from the pain which is great and I was actually going to bring that up because one of the things it."
" I don't know if I'm supposed to do but just happens to mean by -- season's fastest is that all in the book and and I can't help but experience the entire pages. And so there's so many comics that I am trying to read through here and I just look up racked up -- that's happening in like four."
" It's trying to do that I can I mean can't you guys say garden where he was restored like -- and -- there a chance that it looks normal the next page and go back and actually just I think we need to read more music because I don't way to get respondent."
" And -- marbles."
" Marvelous marvelous marvelous -- McCain I think maybe next consummate will be marbles and now uses motion are because. He's -- he's a very special right."
" Honestly I think you've first avenue experiences it was section journalists to."
" Itself before it -- you know we do want to thank our sponsors such his sponsors and acts. Arsenals and doesn't read Paxson put together a group of widgets to help guys debts and keep girls. Keep -- That's a key so you can actually downloaded for free. They're very interest to get the -- and in."
" that isn't part of the ex arsenal went talking and husky whisper voice oh yeah and Vanilla answer."
" That may that may be in the have been beaten into second and I can. -- aren't you Revision 3 com slash acts and slash tax to download these apps sat. Three apple talk about real quick public media but you basically a Wikipedia for how to get and maintain girls and girlfriends and some people when they say hook up."
" Game."
" Hookup everything yeah yeah here they're saying -- just."
" Yeah apparently. The -- lock up for her to the -- outlook that the yeah and talk -- media also up they have the create. A date. It's gone page creator a honest and doesn't want to call of the day creator which is powered by -- right up get you out. Right that's right exactly so rather than just going to dinner to begin in the your budget suggestions on how to make you a memorable date and also see user common sense different areas that you go to an event -- things like that."
" Great great -- there's one thing I have learned in my life. The best thing you can have. For a date. Is a plan of where to go the last thing you want is to go -- throughout -- oh where would you like to go chicks always and they love to spontaneous. And Carly you -- you -- you know just all you gotta know where you don't and that's what the documentaries and also as he."
" You just saw -- they have connected friend connect friend he needs based on MySpace to get your friends together so you can actually be. Whenever the Yiddish word for and that's maker it."
" It's it's ridiculous. Yeah. I'm sorry -- to check that revision to act on such acts it's."
" Bother me also opinions on you used real love love you love me to GoDaddy you want. Eighty domain names -- is only one place to go to get that it's go to any dot com and there's only one promo code used and it's. -- one or two over there are so that is several him -- because you."
" Yeah."
" GoDaddy is where we used to buy our domain names is the best place they will hook you up. They will make sure they'll call you to make sure everything's working great. Amazing. Services. And if you uniform because you're gonna get some money off so why did you do that TS one -- you there's a whole lot of heroes numbers tied up he's like Pokemon."
" I -- know for. Humans and aliens can injure our bread is is it your best in trouble yeah but they can I would wish for more wishes could contribute. You don't think that I thought I would start adding that alien Hillary Hillary got alien all the rest as they say they were doing. I think. I think if they killed 50000 people and why do you want to do more -- have done it everywhere you aren't any kind of job unwritten good news I would. And there's a rule -- got. What would you do. What did you pick him -- and I are highlighted -- size does. -- We are already did cause its cars but here's if -- the national council for drink driving is informing you. That law I think some people are somewhere around about there the -- from car crashes. 32%. That. Which means. NASA has been present -- problem drink driving so not just drunk driving having taken a sick child."
" It really does impair your your driving just and then I I was watching this actually there's a study that was done where a guy would just do a shot. You didn't feel he felt fine and then he would drive is also of course and it really does impair your driving yeah. So I think. We should get drunk and go kick the crap on those aliens because those guys are Jewish facts you did yeah anyway letters on -- up. You know we're seeing about your -- you're paying me. I but hopefully you'll have Paris and nice and Blair is -- letter sent -- driving home if you can't drive home yeah we joked around a lot but it this is in a New Year's Eve is is very soon that's one I was -- give us time a lot of people not not mean."
" Aside from the fact that people are gonna die. Yet. There are way more cops on the road New Year's Eve just -- points you you may just lose your license and it's it's not worth."
" And I must say there's also for LA it's worth taking and have the with the cost of by the time you pay ballet and cast right now it I mean. Take a cab it's it's actually really relaxing did you like -- Just hang out out door banging didn't happen arena and it doesn't."
" Israel and I don't know it -- about parliament I think helicopters or helicopter if you don't drive that elegant worthy of that continent shows the problem. -- definitely hundreds showed up at lake. That's funny both."
" I don't write whether. Let's get to even -- an hour later -- Hey TRS do let's just so much from watching since the beginning. Then I forced myself to watch them in order and just finished episode 36. So he'll never seen this. -- Anyway I sat there watching from the beginning but you guys kept recommending too many great shows so I finally just completed all seasons avatar. And -- Two excellent choices one. Yes. And the other as well."
" The way Jeff granted about how much he hates movie trailers and I get is not -- I was allowed back. Yeah today just got me thinking -- question my questions sounded like a time travel -- crazy people we haven't seen discussion. We haven't seen it discussed much by people most -- it's taken for granite why are spoilers. Such a big deal. Personally I find myself better able to enjoy a film I already know and can expect its big surprise moments I can focus more on character development and the emotions of the events -- Elicited by the actors and writing more so than my own surprise emotional response. Ryan PS is -- picture you know one -- the front of me it's really what it is amazing."
" It's just sad it is and I don't have never seen anybody you met anybody saying yes tell me about the into the sixth sense I think as an engine anymore."
" End to a certain extent you really can't argue with personal preference because it -- that person's prefaced by all means they have every right to have that preference shares and let's talk about our personal preference ma oh as I've said many times on the show Hawaii. I think one of the worst things you can do to meet personally and is to spoil whole. A narrative experience and I think the reason that I feel that way is that. No those emotional investment that I get out of not knowing where I'm going to end up. Not and I think the the best kinds of movies are what I'd want -- I don't know going and -- because -- surprise and I don't. Anticipate. I don't try to I can play the game of figuring out and without knowing."
" That I'm right or wrong it's that synthesis. Suspense that I can maintain throughout the entire experience that I think gives me a far richer experience."
" In the movie or book or whatever. You can win winced when you know where you're going to end up you don't. You can either not be emotionally what can be fun to care is -- tires. Right you don't get admit as emotionally resonant character because you know it's it's gonna end up dead you know."
" Well there's something in the ocean -- head. Let's take -- prestige for instance. Where he watched the first time and surprises happen. There's a pleasure that you get from that surprised washing over you when the sixers batters. That surprised Washington agree that you would never have ever again yet don't want it want -- right wants the usual suspects for that matter -- the usual suspects. Or -- or pain or Citizen -- but for that matter. When you watch movie the second time it's a whole new set of pleasures when you could well that we're you know where it's going and you're seeing how only mean that. How -- and it's -- and both are enjoyable experiences. But one you can only have wants."
" You know why not sail on to play devil's advocate here the other one -- there is a third experience which you are not experiencing. Which is the experience of knowing that meat what is going to happen but not knowing the beat by beat. Experiences and Dee the acting and writing what is happening seem they seem to just knowing that one. Thing and what I would actually has -- to say is I don't think I am. It quits. To be able to even offer my -- because I only know one side of it which is not having been -- to be fair Steen. Had an experience with. The usual suspects that you know I -- that that is the only way I almost feel like we would need to have something spoiled. And -- watching it for the first time. --"
" with the fingers I do but no I I think but I think why in general most people don't like -- is because people. I think it's innately human to want this to bring something here what everything you like the comforts of old right you also want -- And spend so spoiler spoil what's -- yeah I feel like that that taking a way that one time experience is. The effect an act of that -- to me I -- you have -- old liability."
" Outs. Too long and it has gone back and learn split up. Later Diana he would like have you now read on the show please feel free senate -- fans act totally rad show dot com and Ryan if you're seeing this."
" Tell future us what it's like pat. Should we need invest -- patent bread. Now he he's in the future when these things he's in our future."
" I know he's like all. Because they're going machine and think -- yeah. Away but you alterations as a background we love -- look at this freedom awesome animated background so Rand said. We love getting backgrounds and engine fans totally rad -- dot com also join our forums participates. -- Oh oh and that all Callahan has that are making Mac and means -- can bring us."
" I don't know."
" Callahan -- and -- it -- website and see the movie we're gonna talk ominously right."
" Yeah. And in fact and I can tell you that didn't movie this week is going to be about curry because. And and that's science. Because what's better than one World War II movie. Tissue or intimidate us."
" Also even though than a year has come. You may still want to -- actual act so averaging -- com slash TRS and get yourself a bloody shirt or other."
" If your -- Me just tell you the holy. Is very warm. And cozy with the machine also we ask you -- we have that. Very few days until our big year and Xstrata guns. Isn't it gal I would like to call let. Hello Gordon you do I would just tell that so I believe until first we're still accepting applications. Go to. Revision3.com. Slash TRS 2008 to put in you are. Bids to come to our very small show where we are doing very big things. Very good way to -- and."
" Also follows up on Twitter you want to watch the -- name endings three slash four months."
" Well on distant one moron with three friends. Splintered ax."
" Drag on slash Alex -- Brett Lester Burnham slash. Well edited this week's edition of the other actually I'm not tell well. I'm just cannot."
" I've been -- American me."
" Don't blow."
" Our song. Is this new group. -- tonight widgets he's a consultant. Things that are --"
" You can actually download. Sports teams at -- that comments announcement that participants I -- it's gonna do it does that."

In regard to the free MMO suggestion:
Before I started playing WoW, I tried many, MANY free MMOs, trying to avoid paying a monthly fee as much as possible. And I have to say, not one of them even comes remotely close to the quality of WoW. They are free for a reason: all of them are absolutely horrible. If you really wanted to try one, Guild Wars is probably the best in quality.
Great show as always!

I never thought I'd hear words like "kayfabe", "shoot" and "work" on TRS. It nearly brought a tear to my eye. And then to hear Jeff AND Dan mention my favorite promotion, Ring of Honor?? It's like they wrote the show for me. I love this podcast.
Just of curiosity, who's the former ROH/current WWE guy that you guys know? Sydal?

Yes! Thank you Jeff for mentioning Marvels! Finally someone else has heard of it. I think that was the first book to have "gotten to me" emotionally, as a child. I'll sleep better tonight, knowing that Marvels will become more popular now, as it should be.

I cannot wait for January 16th. The Wrestler opens in my city on that day.
Jeff, I am like you. I was so into wrestling, still am somewhat, but I followed the industry news like it was my job. The inner-workings of wrestling is just so interesting.
