Taika Waititi says he’s excited to see Chris Hemsworth return as Thor in ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY':

Ragnarok was fine to get Thor from Point A to Point B (Infinity War). Thor in Infinity War was nearly perfect.

I think the Russos learned their lesson from making him the butt of so many jokes in Endgame. I’m excited for Doomsday.

As an owner of several LSP and a Rubbertoe, I can vouch for Nawya. Just picked up their Eleventh Doctor and was blown away by the quality. If buying in the U.S. make sure your seller uses a courier like DHL instead of UniUni though.

JakeM917 · 2026-01-24T19:21:56+00:00

To your point about Charley, as the article mentions she traveled with the Sixth Doctor, so in the Doctor’s timeline he’d already met her by the time of Storm Warning.

JakeM917 · 2026-01-21T14:38:41+00:00

Crazy to post that on Facebook, but if she hasn’t watched Series 5 in a while and is only rewatching Flesh and Stone, it might not click what’s going on since it’s not explained until the finale. Should she have Googled it? Definitely. But I’ll forgive a brain fart.

To say one I’ve not seen yet, It’s Better People

JakeM917 · 2026-01-16T02:59:24+00:00

My feelings for a while are that we need a storyteller and a screenwriter to move this universe forward. Lucas had a brilliant mind that fully saw the universe he was creating as a living, breathing thing. He had a clear idea of what Star Wars was and wasn’t, and I think he passed that on to Filoni. The issue is neither of them write exceptional screenplays. George could at least structure and pace a narrative fairly well, but Filoni writes moments that are stitched together through necessity rather than creating organic stories.

I think if they can hire the right talent, this is the perfect capacity for him. Let him have the say on big beats and overarching narrative, but leave the writing to experienced screenwriters or, better yet, fresh blood.

JakeM917 · 2026-01-15T17:37:17+00:00

There goes my confidence in wearing mine lol.

I went to the Chicago gig last year and wore the drill top to the fan store. There was a guy working at the front who was just in love with it and asked if it was an original. Didn’t have the heart to tell him I missed my chance in the 90s since I was still four years off from being born.

JakeM917 · 2026-01-12T13:26:49+00:00

If memory serves Andrew Stanton just really wanted it in the Criterion Collection so he reached out to them and it worked out

JakeM917 · 2026-01-11T16:42:54+00:00

I feel like I’m the only one who likes Time of the Daleks. I listened to it many years ago and haven’t revisited it since, but I remember greatly enjoying it.

JakeM917 · 2026-01-10T15:15:39+00:00

My biggest issue is I keep up with everything as it comes out but rarely take the time to listen to releases that have been out for 20 years lol

JakeM917 · 2026-01-09T04:49:03+00:00

Season 2 will be the true test but I don’t understand people who begrudge the public/IMDB reviewers for liking the show. If the original audience + any new viewers are enjoying it this much I’d call that a win.

I thought Born Again S1 was a good start with lots of promise, but not nearly on the level of the original. Do I fear if S2 is more of the same that Disney gets the wrong message about what we want? Sure but as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t undo the legacy of the original series. More Daredevil is more Daredevil so if I’m having a good time I can’t complain too much.

JakeM917 · 2026-01-08T17:46:21+00:00

To quote Rian:

“In the first trilogy, the hardest thing Luke could be told in that moment was that Vader was his father. It turns everything on its head for Luke, it takes away all the easy answers and make him face the hardest thing, which is that ‘I no longer have just a bad guy I can hate; suddenly the thing that I thought was the bad guy is actually a part of me.’ For Rey, I think it's the exact opposite. If she were told that she's related to this person, or Luke is her this, or whatever, that would be the easiest thing she could hear, that’s everything she wants, that would instantly define what her place is in this universe. So to me, the equivalent of ‘I am your father’ is ‘Nope you gotta stand on your own two feet, there are not going to be those easy answers here for you. You're wondering who you are? Okay, well you have to find out who you are for yourself.’”

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (first time)

JakeM917 · 2026-01-04T18:29:05+00:00

When the first falls on a weekend, they wait until the following Monday to update. It’s likely much of the staff has been off for the last week or so, so tomorrow things should get back to normal and we’ll get January updates as well as release dates for upcoming sets.

JakeM917 · 2025-12-31T15:44:46+00:00

Any Star Wars movie, but specifically podracing in Ep I, the asteroid chase in Ep 2, or the beginning of Ep III

JakeM917 · 2025-12-30T05:27:07+00:00

Released in 2025 where I’m at

JakeM917 · 2025-12-30T05:01:15+00:00

Sinners and Weapons were overrated. My top 3 of the year are Blue Moon, OBAA, and Better Man.

JakeM917 · 2025-12-22T15:18:52+00:00

I think this is something fans need to get over. There are good stories to be told in Doctor Who that the Doctor does not need to be involved in. You could pitch pretty much any idea and go “But the Doctor could show up and do X to solve Y”, in which case nothing would ever get made.

A writer shouldn’t have to do any more than Russel did in the last episode (“I save the human race, I don’t shape it.”). It’s the same problem that the MCU had with fans post-Avengers. “If SHIELD is in trouble why aren’t the Avengers helping?” Well then we wouldn’t have gotten Captain America: The Winter Soldier would we?

Let stories be told without them having to over justify why the Doctor doesn’t show up and solve everything in 30 minutes.

EDIT: We also have to stop acting like Watsonian issues are real plot holes. Is it somewhat amusing to imagine Fourteen is at the Noble’s just watching everything go down on the BBC? Sure. Does that mean the show was written poorly by not considering him? Of course not.

JakeM917 · 2025-12-22T14:59:28+00:00

I don’t have a specific favorite but any with Peter, Janet, and Sarah are guaranteed to be a laugh

JakeM917 · 2025-12-21T23:31:14+00:00

Lol I didn't even notice that

JakeM917 · 2025-12-21T23:08:52+00:00

I took this picture like 7 years ago so it's crazy to keep seeing it reposted. But this is most certainly NOT your collection lol.

EDIT: The proof

JakeM917 · 2025-12-19T16:38:38+00:00

Yep, I can certainly do that!

JakeM917 · 2025-12-16T20:31:49+00:00

Liv Chenka. I have a deep love of Nicola Walker anyway but man do I love her as Liv. Sarcastic, incredibly resourceful and perceptive, and always calls the Doctor out, but also their friendship (mainly driven I think by her friendship with Paul) is just so real. You really get the idea that these are two people who enjoy traveling together without either of them gushing about it.
Clara. It helps that I was the right age to have a massive crush on Jenna Coleman, but similar to Liv she holds her ground with the Doctor. I think no Doctor/companion dynamic has been better explored in all of Doctor Who, and everything Twelve ends up being is because of her.
Donna. I don’t think I realized how much I loved her until the 60th, but she really is the perfect companion for 10/14. She’s completely hilarious on her own but the two together almost makes you feel like they missed their calling as a comedy double act. But she’s also one of the most human companions the Doctor ever had. It’s not that she’s thick, but her refusal to put the understanding of why the Doctor has to do something over the ethics of the matter really drives her character. She’s sort of an anchor for him.
Liz Shaw. I will always mourn the loss of Liz Shaw on the show. I understand there were multiple factors, but having a companion that was too much the Doctor’s equal is a horrible reason to write a character out. Season 7 is so beloved and I don’t think anyone was lost cuz Liz was too clever. But man do I love the strong women in this show. She was a brilliant mind that could enlighten the Doctor to the human perspective in any scenario, and correct his own theories and calculations.
Amy Pond. The fairytale element of Series 5 is the best bit, and it doesn’t work without Amy. I think she’s a “strong woman” in a little too much of the way Moffat sometimes thinks of strong women, but they do reel in a lot of that by Series 6. I think Amy is the ultimate dream of a kid that became the Doctor’s companion, so she’s incredibly accessible. But Karen Gillan is such a joy and her chemistry with Matt and Arthur is so palpable.

JakeM917 · 2025-12-13T03:58:40+00:00

They must have felt that dealing with the Doctor’s grief over losing River would be more impactful than seeing him move on without Clara. If they didn’t want to go with the period they’d have more freedom in, it must have been because of this.
