Any words that Lana will be back in Smallville 11?

Any words that Lana will be back in Smallville, in order to fully resolves the love triangle between Clark, Lana, and Lois?

I wished that Kristen Kruek would appear in the series finale.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:53, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Cabin in the Woods

Hey, how are you? It's been absolutely ages since we chatted but I had to tell you: Go see Cabin in the Woods! (But don't read the article, major major spoilers.) It was kind of inevitable I would like it (Joss Whedon does Evil Dead/Friday the 13th-style horror movie... did someone read my mind?) but I didn't expect to like it so much. It's an amazing study of the horror genre, it's tropes, and what the audience gets out of watching it. It's very deep and makes you think, but also very funny and sharp and Whedony and you HAVE to see it. :D  Paul  730 02:41, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Cabin is great but if you go into it expecting a straight horror movie, you'll be disappointed. I've heard people criticising it for not being scary, and for being silly and unrealistic, but you're kind of missing the point if that's how you feel. The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble as it's annoyingly being released in my country) looks amazing. I remember you being cynical about the multiple stories crossing over (particularly Thor, which you claimed would clash with Iron Man, Hulk, etc) but I take it you've changed your mind? I haven't paid much attention to the new Dark Knight at all, haven't even watched the trailer, but I expect it will be as good as the first two. I'm more on the fence about Amazing Spider-Man which seems to be the First Class of this summer... potential hit or potential turkey. Hopefully it proves to be a sleeper hit like First Class.

I haven't heard anything about a Smallville comic but it sounds like a good (and pretty obvious) idea. Are any TV writers involved?  Paul  730 21:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I know plenty of people who still find horror movies scary. I saw the Nightmare remake on a date and the guy was crapping himself throughout. My friend who I saw Cabin with was also very jumpy. I think horror fans like you and I have a higher scare threshold with these things. Although I did find the Paranormal Activity movies tense and frightening, especially the third which I saw in the cinema.

I would have went with Mighty Avengers personally but Initiative would also have been good, since it was also the title of a comic. They did establish mystical artifacts in Cap and Thor had enough sci fi jargon to make the magical gods concept digestable. I think, with the exception of some unfortunate recasting ruining the continuity, the whole franchise has been rather expertly planned out and foreshadowed from the start. The Spidey reboot doesn't bother me... wasn't a big fan of the Raimi version and why wait to start over. At least the guy they've cast actually looks like Peter Parker this time.

How much is known about the Smallville comic? Have they assigned an artist yet? Being the fanboy you are, would you pick up the monthlies or just trade-wait? Yeah, I gave up around S5 and never went back. Actually have trouble remembering the individual seasons tbh. The later seasons look more interesting though.  Paul  730 20:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Metacritic terminology

Regarding The Avengers critical summation, I applied RT's average score of 8.4/10 to MC's terminology for films with a score of 81 and higher because MC's sample size is not yet large enough to accurately reflect the film. With only 6 reviews on MC, each review is given too much weight, therefore I didn't think it was fair to use MC's assessment.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:39, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

That is why I preceded the assessment with "near" but fair enough. Should we just hide that first sentence as well until there are 30 or more Metacritic reviews?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:37, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
