Oddly, I seem to have not done too terribly many Movies in Fifteen Minutes writeups on comic book movies. The first Spider-Man (2002) is in the the book; online, I posted The Avengers in Fifteen Minutes most recently, and I'm guessing that 300, V for Vendetta, and Wanted count as graphic novels or limited series comics or I don't even know movies? Is there an arbitration committee for this?
Often, but not always, when I go see a movie, I post a movie discussion entry. Speaking of The Avengers, we had two discussion entries on that. We touched briefly on The Amazing Spider-Man earlier this month and discussed it more in the comments than the entry itself. I was also able to dig up where we discussed Iron Man and Iron Man 2 back in the day; I did see Captain America, but I don't see any bloggish mention of it. (I watched the Thor DVD two weeks after I first saw The Avengers. YOU MAY DISCUSS IT HERE AND NOW IF IT PLEASES YOU.) There's an X-Men: First Class post in there, but apparently I was too disgusted by X-Men: The Last Stand to even speak of it. On the DC side, we have... The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. And... that's it, I guess. Man, DC is eating Marvel Studios' dust, for real.
Wait, wait--there was also Watchmen, and a really great podcast discussion we did on Made of Fail. Speaking of which, we just recorded an episode on The Dark Knight Rises a few days ago, so that should be up soonish.
Meanwhile, to give this entry entertainment value, here is not a video of actual James Bond and the actual Queen and actual corgis because the IOC will not let us have nice things, but rather, JK Rowling reading a bedtime story to the whole world.
I genuinely considered sneaking a picture of Giant Death Puppet Voldemort in here. You can thank me in the morning.
Thank you for your time.

The Queen is not amused by the IOC's fuckery.

The Queen meme is the best thing ever.

So basically, the opening ceremonies attempted to reenact The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in its entirety...?
I'd really like to say something about it, but I figure there would be some major (well, depending on whether you still follow the League stuff) spoilers... which the ceremonies seem to... hint at (but then, I wasn't actually watching much Olympic stuff, so...)

I am in a continuous state of gleehands about the attack of the Mary Poppins army. I still can't find good video of it anywhere, dammit.

But it turns out you can only watch these things online if you already have an account with a TV company. Completely defeating the purpose of putting these things online. WTF. :/

I have yet to find the Bedtime Story segment that *isn't* on the official site. AUGH.
