Coinkydink Or Coinkydonk? The Year Of The Arrow (Plus Bonus COC’s!)

I figured know I’m not the first to notice this, but are you noticing a trend?

Keep your sights on the bulls-eye…

First, Katniss has her way with the bow and arrow in The Hunger Games, then Hawkeye shows up as a master archer in The Avengers, and finally Princess Merida goes all Robin Hood in Brave.  Kinda weird, right?  Like Hollywood’s prepping us for Armageddon by developing a fondness for rudimentary varieties of arsenal.

But like I said, I unfortunately was late to the (hunger) game catching that one, so howzabout this Coinkydink or Coinkydonk… the flying vessels the Chitauri use in The Avengers are similar to the flying disks in Masters of the Universe movie:

Sorta…?

What about the Chitauri Leviathan, then?  It looked comparable to those Decepticon ships in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, right?

Yeah, this one’s a bit better… let’s go for one more COC!

Remember how it looked for Tony Stark inside the Iron Man suit?

Don’t look so surprised, Mr. Jr.

Do you think they got their idea’s from 1997’s Star Kid?

Spot on, I’d say.

I Am Thankful For… These Pics From Burning Man

For 23 years, the Burning Man festival has taken place in the Black Rock Desert, and since I first heard about it in an old issue of Marvel’s X-Force (it was issue #75 at the point when Cannonball, Siryn, Warpath, Sunspot, and Boom-Boom Boomer Meltdown comprised the line-up), I’ve been curious about it.  By saying I’m curious, I’ve been picked on at work.  I’m not sure why, exactly, because based on the pictures below, it looks… weird.  And I’m always thankful for that.
