The Imitation Lounge - Part 122

[Lily Adler]

Microsoft's Augemented Reality headgear that uses Windows 10 and projects it onto real world objects without being tethered to a phone or PC. You can watch videos on your wall and have a virtual big screen television with Netflix and Hulu or design 3D art and have it become a reality through Amazon and 3D printing.

I reported on that in the tech thread over a month ago

 

[Warhammer]

It's not like critical reception was ever going to stop me from seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron but the mixed reception so far has shocked me. It had got me a bit worried, but then I saw my man Roeper gave it 3.5/4 stars. I usually agree with that man.

 

[C. Lee]

I was expecting bad reviews....seen it a million times over the years.....someone/something has a several hits, it inevitalebly becomes necessary to knock them down.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

It's a major drop of score after the reception of the first.
Wonder if it will be like Iron Man movies.

I love fat paychecks. Next Tuesday im getting over $600. Boom

 

[flickchick85]

I almost always agree with both Drew at Hitfix and Peter Travers at Rolling Stone, and they both liked AoU w/ a few reservations, so I'm really not worried by the reviews at this point.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I liked it better than the first one as well but I can see why people might not like AOU as much as the first one.

I just did the math and I can put almost $400 towards fixing my license. That's a nice chunk towards my goal

$600 - $200 = $400

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Pretty much

Somethings that happened in AoU were better than the things in TA. I also liked it a bit more than TA.

What's your rating for both of them?

I made a thread about it back in January...

 

[Warhammer]

I'm honestly most intrigued to see who gets killed off. I'm already assuming one in particular because Captain America: Civil War has to spark somehow but I know there has to be more than that one. This is Joss Whedon after all.

 

[Fallen Angel]

What's your rating for both of them?

Both 8/10 but I'd give AOU the higher 8.

 

[Victarion]

My biggest critique is that the costumes were comic booky, the scenarios were comic booky and it felt like I was watching a comic book. 8.5/10 to TA's 8/10.

Ill wait for the finished product before I get excited. Microsoft puts on good shows but their finished products that end up on shelves almost always pale in comparison to the the demos they show at the shows. *cough*Kinect gen1*cough*

The movies are based on comic books.
I thought you hate the first movie.

That's your criticism? I must be crazy, but I thought the more comic-booky a comic-book movie was the better.

Kids these days.

 

[Warhammer]

Interesting criticism.

Just watched last night Flash episode. Really good. This whole first season has been stellar. I just wish I knew more about DC lore

Anything specific you want to know DJ? I'll hook you up as best as I can. And yes, that last ep was good. Lots of stuff coming to a head. I realky like the show... It just has quite a few things that bring my enthusiasm to a screechinh halt far too often.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

How did Lex Luthor lose his hair?

What happened to Kyle Rayner?

What happened to Wally West?

What happened to Green Arrow's kid, whasisname, Conner something?

What's Pa Kent's status post 'New 52'? How about Jason Todd's?

Did Starro ever menace the JLA again?
