    T & A is for the director more than for the viewers. Nude scenes are designed to gain interest for the female characters, main or supporting.

    I agree. I couldn't stop looking at her in The Avengers.

    COMMANDER ADAMA Joins AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

    [​IMG]


    From Newsarama.com.


    ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is adding someone with a lot of military experience, fictionally speaking. Marvel has revealed that Edward James Olmos has been cast in the comics-based drama for a significant role which will have "massive repercussions" for Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson. Olmos will play a character named Robert Gonzales, and will debut in an unspecified March episode.

    “Edward James Olmos brings an amazing gravitas to any role he inhabits, something we knew we needed for Robert Gonzales,” said Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb at Marvel.com. “When Olmos first appears on our series, everyone will have to take notice--including our favorite Agents.”


    An initial Google search didn't turn up any Robert Gonzales in the Marvel Comic book universe.

    Olmos was recently seen in Showtime's Dexter, but is perhaps best known for his starring role in Battlestar Galactica.

    Actor Blair Underwood is also scheduled to debut in a March episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the estranged ex-husband of Melinda May, however it's not known if his and Olmos' characters will interact.

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will return with new episodes beginning on March 3.

    I loved battlestar galactica

    Too bad netflix pulled it from streaming because it was worthy of a second go-round

    As a side note...I watched agent carter for a hot minute until they killed off that guy who plays a junkie in the wire

    I know it's the 1940s but damn....

    At least he got an upgrade. He owned and ran the club where shit was going down. Could've had him shining shoes in that mofo instead.

    Lol

    Tackling 1940s sexism = good

    Tackling 1940s racism and segregation = fuck that

    It's marvel giving a woman her own platform

    What better time period to set it in than the 1940s, where sexism was rampant, women weren't expected to go to college and women's liberation was a reality

    So weird. I have no interest in supporting the era of bm shoeshiners
    I won't watch Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire for the same reason.

    I'd give you a dap if I could

    Reminds me of the paul mooney line where he says white people love to go back in time, but black people don't....for obvious reasons :rolleyes:

    I just got finished playing la noire for ps3. It's an investigative cop approach to grand theft auto, where you work cases like you're in your favorite crime drama.

    It's set in the 1940s and when I got to the point where my character was paired up with a racist dirty cop who made it known negroes had to know their place, I almost stopped playing it

    Sad really because the game is very good..but shit racism in gotdamn videogames like that rub me the wrong way

    Bad enough u gotta hear it when playing online

    Seriously I was like wtf, I gotta run through a few missions with this guy constantly by my side

    What were they thinking

    I know they were going for authenticity of the era and maybe trying to elicit white guilt from its player base but damn

    I thought about buying la noire. I saw some of it on Youtube. The second I saw the way a guy said black. I already knew where this was going and didn't buy it.
    Folks choose to place racism in the game. The game doesn't learn it.

    It's one thing when it's in a movie...but shit

    When ur playing a game u become a character...and la noire is pretty immersive

    So when you get some redneck partner for a few missions it makes you feel like ur playing alongside a racist player

    No bueno

    It still would have been a great game without the need to be that authentic.....I never seen a game that used high end facial scanning/interrogation mechanics like that

    Reading faces to see if someone was lying or telling the truth was fun...plus all of the characters are real life actors....they had Walter from Fringe in it

    Out of that came Rosie the Riveter.

    That is exactly how I feel too. I can't get into westerns for the same reason



    Yeah, Back To The Future probably would have been a horror movie if Marty was a brother.
