Happy Birthday, Sir Patrick Stewart!
Sir Patrick Stewart turns 75 today and we need to celebrate it. The iconic British actor has gifted us some of the best known sci-fi characters in the history of television and film: Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men movie franchise.
He was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1940 and has worked across all entertainment mediums, from theater to video games, since 1964. He’s been nominated for several Golden Globes and Emmy Awards (for Moby Dick (1998) and The Lion in Winter (2003), amongst other projects) and has won plenty of our hearts.
As for his future work, Sir Patrick Stewart has been confirmed to reprise his role as Professor X in the upcoming Wolverine sequel set for 2017, and he’ll also be starring in a tv series called Blunt Talk, were he plays Walter Blunt, a British newscaster who moves to L.A. to “impart his wisdom” onto an American audience, encountering some obstacles at the network and dealing with his personal baggage. We can look forward to that.
Also, his friendship with Sir Ian McKellen has gathered all kinds of social media attention, especially considering they have played mutant frenemies for years. It has granted us incomparable shots of them together, just being awesome.

God Eater (aka Attack on Titan 2) Episode 1
God Eater opens up with our main protagonist Renka Itsugi wandering in open world hiding from Aragami (Big Mutant Monsters). He has some flashback of people dying. It might be his family but I’m not quite sure, didn’t really get to see any faces. And he didn’t comment on it so it’s up in the air for now. I’m sure we’ll get some insight to who’s those people were in later episodes. Once the dust clears he finds himself at Wall Maria, from Attack on Titan. No, no I’m just kidding of course. But that is exactly what I though when they zoomed out and displayed the city of Fenrir. And after reading the plot of this story, and seeing the first episode, it sure feels a lot like an Attack on Titan type story.
After the super wide shot and some weird camera effects Renka finds himself in a training room and he is being tested if he is able to wield a “God Arm” (humanity’s last hope at fighting the Aragami). And of course he passes and gets a somewhat clunky looking bracelet. The staff conducting the exam up in the control room mention that its weird that an outsider is compatible with a “New-Type”. I think this refers to his “God Arm”, but that parts still a little hazy. We also get a little flashback of the same onlookers talking about energy sources, and its made somewhat clear throughout the episode that they had something to do with the creation of the Aragami and the downfall of the world. Something to do with energy sources and what not.
So Renka is indoctrinated into the God Eater force, but seeing that his God Arm isn’t complete yet and he’s inexperienced, he’s forced to sit back and train while other go into battle. This seems to upset him a lot but he doesn’t get all hot-headed about it. If anything it motivates him to take his training more seriously so he can get out there as soon as possible. Though he does butt heads with Major Amamiya (A sort of task force commander, I guess). It’s also notable to mention that she too has a God Arm seeing that she has a big bracelet on too.
As per orders of the Major, Renka is tasked to train with a fellow God Eater in training named Kota. Kota is nice and friendly. He seems sort of laid back in a way but that might just be him trying to lighten the mood. Kota extends a hand to Renka and he accepts it, which is nice. They go through some training together and while Renka shows great promise, the Major still has her doubts. She talks about how those with exceptional potential are often never able to grow because they die so soon. This gives us a nice look at how and why the Major will make future decisions. She knows that loses are inevitable but still values those that can make a difference. Which is a hard thing to weigh when you’re in such a position as hers.
After a few too many failed training exercises, Kota sees that Renka is losing his motivation. So he takes him to witness the finishing touches being put on his God Arm. We also get introduced to the head of maintenance Licca. She seems rather young to be doing this sort of stuff. But in a post-apocalyptic world I guess there’s no time to grow up anymore. I mean I’m pretty sure that Renka and Kota are just as young as her too.
An unknowable amount of time passes and terror strikes when the Aragami break through not one but two places in the wall. And on opposite sides no less. It’s here where we find out that the God Eaters forces are stretched so thin that they have barely enough to deal with both sides at once. Seeing the dire situation Renka disobeys orders and breaks out of the facility with his God Arm to go help the side with less forces. The Major tries to stop him, but he uses his God Arm powers to give him exceptional agility and jumping power and easily jumps over the barricades placed before him.
He gets out there an sees a fellow God Eater get wrecked from behind and goes to try to help him. In the process he takes on a few Aragami but is unable to really do anything to them. I thought that God Arms could beat the Origami, but when he slashes at them it barely seems to do anything. This leads to him losing his weapon. The injured God Eater tells him to run, but Renka has a flashback to those dead people again and picks up a wooded beam and continues to fight anyway. But of course the wood breaks and Renka is tossed away. Luckily he’s tossed near his weapon so he makes a break for it, but another Aragami closes in on him. He’s almost eaten until the Aragami is sniped out of the sky by a female God Eater. Then two others descend on the battlefield and just start shredding away at the Aragami as though it were nothing. And they seemingly have the same weapon as Renka… WTF why didn’t his weapon work against the Aragami when he was trying to protect the injured God Eater. Renka deduces by the leader’s name that this is the famous 1st unit.
And with them taking care of everything Renka sort of watches in awe of their skill for a while. That is until he sees a woman in the midst of being attacked and quickly runs to her rescue. But seeing that he has a sword and the Aragami is far away and closing in fast it appears that his rescue attempt will end in vain. But Renka beckons to his weapon to reach and it responds to his wishes by transforming into a sniper rifle. A powerful beam shoots out and saves the woman in time. Apparently this isn’t normal seeing that the entire 1st unit is amazed that his weapon was able to transform. But I think that transformation has something to do with the weapon being a New-Type. And that about wraps up the episode.
Now I gotta say I’m really torn on this show. God Eater really has the potential to be anything at this point, so its hard to really know what to expect in later episodes of this show. The animation is weird. Like almost like they layered traditional 2D drawing over 3D character models. It’s somewhat off-putting but doesn’t really stand out enough to affect the show. I assume I’ll gradually get used to in a few episodes. The combat and fight scenes seem really clunky and aren’t shot very well. Which makes all the actions scenes that are supposed to be intense and suspenseful, just plain boring for me. This is weird considering that this is a Ufotable show and they usually can do really good fight choreography and camera placement. So I don’t know why this show doesn’t resemble some of their other works. Maybe it will get better but if it continues like this it will get really boring really fast.
But time did pass rather quickly when I was watching it. So I guess that’s good. I wouldn’t say the first episode was really captivating. I sort of like the main character seeing how he’s not overly stoic but not overly hot-headed. One of the deciding factors on me to continue watching this will be how they deal with his character. Same goes for all the characters we barely know like 1st unit and the scientists.
Sometimes there are shows that have very awkward intro episodes because they try to get to the meat of the show too fast. And that’s what I think this show suffers from. They try to explain too much but don’t really give it any importance. Its more or less put in there because its information we need to make the scenario make sense. I know its necessary but it could be written into the story in a way that doesn’t seem so heavy-handed. I’m not saying its bad, but it does seem a little lazy. But the content is enough to make me want to come back next episode and see what they can do with it. So while I’m not completely sold on God Eater, I haven’t given up on it yet either.

Top 5 Villains For The New Spider-Man Film
Once again, Spider-Man is coming back to the big screen with an all new cast, production company, and story to tell. Only this time, he’ll be a part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. We know very little about what’s going to happen with his character, and his next movie. But, we do know that it isn’t an origin story, and we also know that Peter Parker will be in high school. So, it seems that Marvel is might be looking to make a smaller, more personal movie about our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
My personal biggest concern with the movie is going to be Spidey’s villain. There have been rumors about Green Goblin coming back. However, Green Goblin has been played out in my opinion, and I’m not interested in seeing recycles of any previous villains. So, this list will not include Electro, Lizard, Rhino, Sandman, Venom, Doctor Octopus, or the aforementioned Green Goblin. This list will have five villains from Spidey’s roster that haven’t really been seen yet. Or at the very least, would be a new challenge for old web head. So without further ado let’s get started with the top five villains for the new Spider-Man movie.
- VULTURE
Like most of Spider-Man’s animal based villains, Vulture is as silly looking as it gets. However, I feel that his design could be really cool if done right. And his back story is actually fairly interesting. Adrian Toomes (The Vulture) was an electronic engineer who got screwed over by an embezzling business partner. Toomes designs a flight suit to get revenge on his double-crossing colleague. It could lead to an interesting conflict. Peter Parker would be dealing with his guilt and responsibility of doing the right thing as Spider-Man, while Toomes is more than willing to do what he wants to get what he wants. Plus, imagine the awesome fight scenes going on between the two.
- MYSTERIO
Mysterio is also ludicrous in his design, and to be honest, I’m not sure how anyone could pull off his fishbowl head look. It would probably have to go through a drastic change to be pulled off well. But, ignoring his horrific outfit, Mysterio’s powers would be awesome on film with today’s CGI crazed productions. Mysterio could be able to create some horrific images, and put Spidey on an acid guilt trip the likes of which we have never seen before. If the studio wants to play with Spidey’s emotions then Mysterio is definitely one of the best to do so.
- BLACK CAT
Okay, let’s just get this out-of-the-way; Black Cat is a Catwoman rip off in every sense of the word. They’re both jewel thieves with a cat motif, have an interest in skintight leather jumpsuits, and a flirtatious attitude toward the main superhero. So, now that issue done with, let me argue that Black Cat has a very dark back-story that could make for a very intriguing antagonist. I won’t give it a way, because you guys should look it up, but it has a real strong emotional drive, and it would be an interesting challenge for Spider-Man to take down. She would also be unique as a female character that isn’t a love interest (or Aunt May) in a Spider-Man movie.
- KINGPIN
If you watched Daredevil on Netflix then you’ll remember the great, imposing Kingpin of crime, Wilson Fisk. Vincent D’Onofrio brought in a powerhouse of a performance, and was a great villain for Daredevil. But, Kingpin was originally a Spider-Man foe, and I think it would be awesome for Spider-Man to take on such an imposing character that has no powers or abilities. D’Onofrio has stated that he would want to “kick Spider-Man’s butt” in the past. And it could have some cameo appearance from Daredevil, and start setting up the Spider-Man Daredevil friendship from the comics. And it would be a great way to integrate Spider-Man into the Marvel universe further.
- KRAVEN THE HUNTER
Kraven was also one of Spider-Man’s more laughable villains, but he became a very admirable threat later during the amazing Kraven’s Last Hunt storyline. He’s an obsessive hunter trying to kill the next most dangerous game. And to him, Spider-Man is the most exciting person to hunt. Kraven’s level of obsession and violence elevates him from a silly bad guy with a gimmick to a Batman level villain with a disturbing amount of psychological drama. And having Spider-Man constantly be hunted throughout New York City would be a fantastic setting for an exciting climax in a Spider-Man movie. And, I mean, come on, how cool would it be to see Kraven and Spidey fighting in a zoo?

The Top 10 Worst Movies of 2015 (so far)
So my wife said to me recently,“You are so funny when you are mad about a movie you just saw.” I don’t necessarily see the humor that others might see in the misery that occurs when sitting through a terrible two-hour movie but I get what she is alluding to. When any one of us sit through a stinker of a movie, one of our first impulses is to discuss with the nearest person how bad that movie was. It’s almost as if you are now part of a select group of people who had to endure the agony of the last couple of hours. With that in mind, I feel it’s time to get into the Top 10 worst movies of 2015 (so far). Avoid these movies at all costs.
10) Pitch Perfect 2 –I know that I am going to catch some heat for this one but I still don’t understand why they felt it was necessary to revisit something that really had nothing to revisit. I think this movie was aca-waste of my time. If you have the urge to see this movie just take out the 20 dollars that you were going to spend and light it on fire.
9) 2nd Best Exotic Marigold Hotel –Again, we have a sequel where they should have just let the first movie be instead of trying to do more. I found myself not caring one bit about Judi Dench or any of the characters in this movie. It was a bore! If you want to know what it’s like to sit through this movie just find the nearest corner in your house or apartment and stare at it for 122 minutes. Just stare … and stare some more. Then you will understand what I went through sitting through this movie.
8) Hot Pursuit – You take one Academy award winner, pair her up with the Spanish mom from Modern Family and you get cinematic trash. If your significant other wants to see this movie you should immediately break up with them. If you go on a date and that person has rented this movie, you should remember a previous engagement on the other side of town.
7) Insurgent –This movie felt like I(a non-spanish speaking person) was watching a Spanish Soap Opera on Telemundo. Wildly confusing choices were made in this movie and it led to a stinker of a final product. After seeing this movie, I felt like I needed to lie down for 3 days.
6) Self/Less-Why, Ryan Reynolds? Why! You are so talented and you end up in such craptastic movies.
5) Project Almanac-Yay! A movie with teens that has shaky camera footage and makes no sense! This movie had all the quality of an MTV TV Movie, yet wasn’t good enough for MTV.
4) Jupiter Ascending-If you want to see a movie that :
- Makes you want to hurt someone, so they can experience your pain for sitting through it
- Makes no sense.
- Makes you wonder what sort of blackmail pictures the director may have of Channing Tatum
Then this is the movie for you!
3) 50 Shades of Grey-Let’s take two very inexperienced actors that no one has any desire of seeing and put them in a movie where they are naked for most of it. Perfect Plan! This movie was literally a gut punch to my soul.
2) The Boy Next Door-This movie is supposed to be a horror film but truthfully it could have been called a comedy. The acting is so bad, the script was horrid, and the sets were something out of a Gaither High School Drama club production (I should know). This movie made me feel like I had experienced a traumatic brain injury as I left the theater completely confused.
1) Magic Mike XXL-A movie that had all the promise and didn’t deliver squat. This movie is an example of why Hollywood is wrong to take the easy way out when it comes to developing projects. On paper this movie should have been a mega success based on the 1st Magic Mike and right now it will be lucky to make ¾ of the money the 1st made. The reason is simple: people don’t want to waste their time with garbage and this movie is garbage.
I hope this list was helpful to you. As always this is the way I see things but if you disagree let me know why. One person’s trash might be another person’s treasure.

Now We Know About Nao – Charlotte Episode 2
Well, was this weeks episode of Charlotte full of interesting things, or what? While last weeks episode built up the world and sort of delved into Yu’s circumstances. He sorts of takes a back seat in this episode. And in all honesty it’s for the better. We can’t have Yu just be torn apart at the seams this soon. We need to see him interact with more people to really understand the reason for the way he acts. But for now we get a heaping helping of Nao. And that definitely isn’t a bad thing. But before I talk about Nao I want to talk about an interesting scene from the opening credits.
The scene plays out with two hands reaching out for each other with the clock hands spinning by very fast. As the hands come together they are seemingly torn apart and can’t get a good enough grip. They continue to be torn away and fall to different corners of the screen. Then immediately a crack appears covering the whole shot. Now I know its weird to talk about something in the opening, but as I said before in a Jun Maeda show there can be things hidden everywhere so I think its worth thinking about.
The way I interpret this short three-second scene, is a slight view on how we see the past. Or maybe how the main characters see it. The hands not being able to grasp one another obviously represents being so close but not being able to reach one another in the end. Which is represented in this episode, so I’ll talk about that later. The speed of the clock is how we see just how quickly time moves and that everything that happens cannot be undone since time is moving ever forward. The crack I think means that when we look back at the past we see things skewed because of how it affects us. It could also represent the scar we carry in to the future because of a past experience. Now again I know this is just a piece of the opening sequence but I think that it may represent how one or more of the characters deals with past experiences. So I thought it was at least worth giving a little thought too. But now I’ll get onto the meat of this episode, Nao.
I’m usually not one to just fall head over heals for a character design. There needs to be something else there to keep my interest besides a cute face. So last episode I didn’t really have any feeling towards Nao. But after this new episode of Charlotte, Nao is really hitting all the right notes for me. Which is weird considering I usually don’t like any girls in a Jun Maeda work that way. But I really am being won over by her charm. Which doesn’t seem really hard given this episodes content. Because like I said before this episode is really all about her. Well it’s not directly about her but a lot can be deciphered about her character and why she acts the way she does by this episode.
But before all this deepness into her character we are treated to some more nice world building about how in fact the student council tracks down students with powers. Sure it may seem a little convenient that they have a student whose ability is to track down other ability users. But if anything it shows that the person running this school is in constant search for kids who can help the cause. Which may be one reason that Yu was invited into the school and the student council. Honestly all I could think about when I saw this scene is Professor X and Cerebro.
So once they get a hit they go the school and do a little sleuthing to find out who the kid with the power is. Yu is reluctant to help at first but after an intimidating stare by Nao he pitches in. And what I found strange is that once they confronted the boy, they just warn him about the scientists and leave. They don’t invite him to their school like with Yu. Did Nao only accept Yu into her school because his ability would be useful or was there some other reason? During theses scenes and earlier we get some good humor involving Jojiro and his imperfect teleportation. And I laugh every time it happens. I do enjoy that they can keep it light even though the risks they are facing are truly dangerous. It’s also good for the viewer to be able to get a quick laugh to gauge how they are supposed to be feeling about a certain scene. And it helps especially in this episode because boy do things get tragic.
After this incident we learn about Naos brother and how he was an ability user who was experimented on by scientists after they found out about his ability. They were tricked by their mother to go to this boarding school where both of them were immediately experimented on. Nao just had a few tests every now and then, but her brother went though some horrible shit. And every time Nao would try to see her brother her friends (who we find out were just placed there to be her friends) would stop her and direct her attention elsewhere.
Now its this scenario that I’d like to relate back to the clock scene in the opening. Nao is trying to reach out to her bother but at every chance she gets she is pulled away from him. Also having people who you think are your friends and then having them be the reason you couldn’t see your brother can really mess up someone. But seeing that Nao tells this story so monotone and emotionless, it seems that she may be repressing her feeling of the event in a big way. She is definitely not being her true self in more than one way. And it’s probably going to take something huge to give her the trust she needs to be that open again.
But for now she still is able to see her brother (who is basically a vegetable on drugs and a psychopath while off them) anytime she wants. She takes Yu to see him after he asks about his condition after the experiments. It appears this is routine for her so she probably visits him a lot. And its obvious that she feels some guilt for the way that he’s turned out. This also shows why she decided to be student council president and make sure she can help and warn kids with powers, so they’ll never end up like her brother. Having characters being motivated by reasons that are explained and make sense are real nice.
One last thing Nao brings up in this scene is a person that she owes a lot too for helping move her brother to such a nice hospital. She considers him the “one person she can trust.” Now while it may be the person who made this school that’s a safe haven for kids with and with the potential for powers. It also may be Yu’s lost brother. Considering that Nao mentioned that the rate for siblings getting powers is high, it might mean that Yu’s brother had powers. It may also relate to why Yu and his sister got accepted into the school and why Yu is in the student council. So obviously he may still care about his family but something causes him to keep his distance from Yu and his sister. Also I’m pretty sure that if he has a power that it has something to do with erasing memories, or changing them ala time travel or something.
Now that’s it for the episode but there is still one thing I want to talk about and again it has to do with the opening and ending. It has to do with the fact that Nao’s brother was in an up and coming band and the fact that Nao is always seen listening to music. Her brother talks about how he wants to be like a certain band called “ZHIEND” which obviously means “the end”. And that probably means something in itself. But we can see that the poster in her brother’s room shows a girl on it.
In the opening we see Nao at her current age after her brothers experimenting and we see ZHIEND on a building in the background and supposedly the same female singer. From this we can imply that the music Nao is listening to is ZHIEND. Maybe this is a way for her to stay connected to her brother even after she lost the artistic side of him. It also may be seen as a crutch. So eventually if the band stops making music Nao may feel like she’s losing a part of her brother in some way. But that’s kind of reaching, just a possibility.
And then again at the ending we get a good look at Naos MP3 player and see that she is in fact listening to ZHIEND. I’d like to think that after this long of time Nao has a deeper relationship with this band but I guess I’ll have to wait and find out. And while it may be some time until we get anymore development on this, just know that its most likely coming.
So if you can’t already tell, I loved this episode. There was so much depth to it and everything, from the visuals to the appropriate tone, was on point. All I can do at this point is take what I know and bring it into the next episode hoping for everything to pay off in the end. And even if I have to wait a while, I’ll most likely enjoy the ride.
As far as I can see it, Charlotte is nowhere near going to disappoint and is shaping up to be the best show of the season. And maybe has the potential to be best show of the year.
