Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “This is a good week for movies – Between The Avengers and Bond 50, we’ve got a great line-up. And that’s before we get into all 6 Lone Wolf & Cub films and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1, neither of which I’ve seen personally, but which I’m familiar enough with the subject matter to feel comfortable recommending them. Then there’s Steins;Gate, which I’ve heard plenty of positive recommendations about, enough to make me want to check it out sight un-seen. However, if I had to pick just one, I’d go with The Avengers.” Blaine says, “I’d also go with The Avengers and/or Bond 50.”

      • Agreed… not a fan.
        One big reason is how the store names aren’t indented, so it’s hard to follow the flow from title to title… my brain keeps wanting to read Amazon/iTunes as the next title in the list.

        Also… The Avengers, for sure, is the purchase of the week in our house.

      • This didn’t format the way I’d hoped. I was looking for a 90/10 split on title and genre, 20/80 or so on the retailers and 30/70 on comments. I think I need to define the table with 10 columns of 10% each and use colspan tags to make that happen, though. I’ll make adjustments for next week and we’ll go from there.

  1. Also, I had a situation where the images of the flags didn’t load, and since there was no alt text, there was nothing I could click on. You may want to set the alt text to be something like “USA” and “CAN”.
