Blaine: Note that this is not the movie that came out this year. This is the one where someone decided that putting rubber ears on Cap’s cowl would look better than cutting out holes for his real ears to come out. This is remarkably terrible. | |
Suspense | |
Set Up |
Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going to make an exception and pick The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya as my pick of the week, even though I haven’t seen it yet. Castle Season 3 is a close second – though, in that case, while I haven’t seen Season 3, I have seen seasons 1 & 2 and enjoyed them immensely.” Blaine says, “I did watch the third season of Castle, and can recommend that without hesitation. Season four premieres on September 19.”
Another +1 for Castle here. It’s the only thing I have my eye on, and after caving in and getting the SW Blu-Ray set yesterday I’ll need to keep an eye on my DVD/Blu-Ray budget.
