Saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman this past weekend with the folks. Very fun film. Some heartfelt and charming moments. Great animation. Solid voice acting. My dad is a big fan of the old Rocky & Bullwinkle with friends cartoons and I grew up watching them on video and re-runs.

You ain't kidding. It costs $30 to $60 for a fucking new controller now. Ugh! It's ridiculous. Plus some next gen games out in today's market don't even give you all the content on the disc after paying the $60 price tag. The DLC and all the bonus stuff costs less than $20 more. It's getting out of hand.

I really love Metallica's cover of Damage Case from Garage, Inc. I would put it up on that list too; but overall your picks would make an excellent hits collection.

The pace needs to pick up and they need to get back together sooner rather than later.

With the way the episodes are structuring each of the groups story lines. It seems like it's going to be quite soon. Well for a couple I think.

Well there are two different kinds of sanctuaries. There is one in the south that will be temporary; but the show is leading to the big safe zone in Alexandria, VA. Which in the comics means most of the characters will meet up in a community area in the middle of Alexandria and Washington, DC. Which I hope it leads to it.

Hopefully Batista doesn't have too many dialogue scenes tongue.

It depends. Not sure the exact way they are going to go with his Draxx character besides being a power house fighter. Also still getting revenge for the death of his wife and I think children by a corrupt force in one of the planets in this film's particular universe. I know him and Groot can be quiet types and not say a whole lot. Groot only says three words; but has a different kind of language that a few characters in this universe can comprehend outside those words. He's also the innocent, child like character of the group. They changed Star Lord's character to be a mix of Han Solo meets Fry from Futurama which is an interesting combination instead of being handed down from space royalty and then became a sort of renegade hero for the everyman.

They are not going to kill half the core cast in a season, meaning Daryl/Michonne/Rick/Carl/Glenn or Carol. Everyone else is expendable bit by bit in non season finales when ever the writers run out of ideas for them.

It's the issue all series run into, especially ones with a high body count. The only exception I can think of is Game of Thrones and that's more, because they have books to follow for at least another 2 (hopefully 3) seasons.

At least it's not as bad as Heroes was though when it came to main characters not dying.

I agree. Those guys are going to be safe for a long while. Heroes just had alot of bad writers towards the last few seasons. Zack Quinto even wanted to leave in the third or fourth season because he didn't want to be type casted as Sylar and this was when Star Trek was in pre-production. But..money and certain ideas going back and forth led to him still being on there. American Horror Story and other shows suffer this problem. When someone dies, it should have consequence and go with the story. Not just a gag that serves no purpose.

Still enjoying the show and character development episodes sometimes are a necessity. However after a break and there being only 4 episodes left, it shows the flaw with US mid season breaks.

The problem I have with this series is it's obvious how the season ends, even without comic knowledge and you know now certain characters are not going to be randomly zombie-fied.

Yeah I kind of wish the show eventually will go back to a 13/14 episode pace which would be able to pack into the right amount of story, action, and character development content necessary. I admit that the mid season breaks can be jarring and it hurt alot of the momentum in the later half of S3 which ended on a disappointing low point. Right now I'm happy with how this season is progressing. Gimple I think was left in a position to recon alot of these characters from Season 2&3 that were still around and not given much growth from previous scripts. So yeah the pacing and certain dialogue can be a little weird here & there. Which I can understand and these characters that he decides he wants to keep around when they all meet up in the Safe Zone or another similar location at S4's end, will tie into where the series will go from there. Probably a new villain or team of antagonists will be introduced and stakes will be raised. I actually liked that explored Daryl's character abit more and not just make him the badass tank all the time. It's alright to take a step back. It was a shame what they did to Andrea and some of the other characters in previous seasons and that they either written poorly or made completely unlikeable and one-dimensional. Andrew Lincoln (Rick) says he wants his character to go back to being the sheriff and a leader again; so we were getting small doses of that coming back earlier this season which will probably return when they all meet up in the Sanctuary /Safe Zone area that most of the groups are leading to. I'm glad they brought in Abraham from the comics. When they start using him more, he will be alot of fun. Would like to see more of Tyreese and his dynamic with some of the lead cast. I'm glad it's going back to what it's all about, SURVIVAL and they are leaving the south.

According to various media, ABC and Marvel are teaming up to premiere new footage and behind the scenes content of their following projects relating to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Which includes SHIELD, Guardians, Cap: Winter Soldier, and a teaser or some footage regarding to Avengers 2: Age of Ultron (which will be fantastic, I hope). The special will premiere on ABC on Tuesday March 18'th.

Seriously, James Spader as Ultron. Just perfect casting. Even though he could literally sit down on a chair and manipulate The Avengers out of the fight with his charisma! 16 Also I would like to see some more development on Edgar Wright's Antman, dammit! Which includes Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, and Patrick Wilson.

Are there any good Metallica best of albums?

You mean like an ICON or Greatest Hits collection? If you mean that, I don't believe so. The closest you'll probably get is the soundtrack to Through the Never; but they are live tracks with some re-recorded bits for the concert film that came out a few months ago. I think eventually Metallica will do a GH CD. I know Megadeth has a couple hits collective CDs. It's strange that Metallica doesn't have one by now especially since they've taken forever on a new album.
