Nice job, Christopher!
I had this pre-ordered and it made its way high onto the list of next reads. I'll give it a boo and maybe resurrect this thread with my post reading thoughts.
Yay for a book review on the site!

During our review of NA: Illuminati #4, it sounded like I said "Ive never like Black Bolt.' Not true. What I said was I've "never liked him so much." Skype ain't purty all the time folks.
-
looks pretty good. I'm actually kind of impressed with that.
I'm hoping they didn't give too much away in that trailer but I'll keep my speculation out of this forum until a later date.
More on Rob Zombie's Halloween soon, folks.

Awww...come on! Reality is asking for it! It needs to have dinner ready when Superboy Prime comes back and she never learns.

According to horror-web.com, Abrams' only involvement is as Producer.
Matt Reeves has reportedly bagged a deal to helm a horror film written by Drew Goddard.Being produced by J.J Abrams, the film is set in New York, and will be shot using hand-held video cameras.
According to Aint it Cool News, the film is currently being called 'Cloverfield', but it is just a code and not its real title. It is believed that the movie may be titled 'Felicity gets Freaky'.
A trailer of the film was screened without its title last week.
"We open with a bunch of teens partying. Apparently one of 'em is leaving town tomorrow and everyone's kind of bittersweet about it. Then they hear a giant ruckus and head outside to see a massive explosion in the distance," Moviehole quoted Cinematical as describing the trailer.
Out on the streets people are running around all panicky-like. Then the head of the Statue of Liberty lands in the middle of the street and the date of January 18, 2008, pops up. Oh, and it's all done with handheld video cameras. Basically The Blair Witch Project meets the Godzilla remake ... which means I can't wait to see it," it added
Ummm...lame.

Just kidding. Don't suspend me please.
Not this time but you still get written up...

Fuckin' A, fellas!
Best comic reviews on the web. Well done.
A lot of sites could learn a few things from the fine gentlemen at E2.
I'm not just saying that because one of them is mine. I say this because these are in depth, thoughtful and without pretension or ass-kissery of any kind.

I voted yes but would enjoy the inclusion of contemporary lit as well

As I asked during this episode of The Show, is classic literature geeky, and, if so, should we cover it on the site and Earth-2.net: The Show?
Personally, I think you can be geeky about anything. My dad is a classic car geek. I know more than my share of hockey geeks.
Since, literature fits into the media area we should definitely cover it here. A book/literature sub-forum is more than welcome in my opinion.
We should narrow it to geeky lit or at least lit one thinks folks here would find interesting...First person to mention Jane Eyre gets a punch in the nose.

Although I'd hope my involvement would get me a free subscription (or at least a staff discount!)
Staff pays double.
I've worked for people like you before...

When / If there are small fees for podcasts, the market will decide which podcasters "deserve" to be paid and which ones don't. It will boil down to quality, marketing, audience, etc.
This is very true.
-
Ok.
seeing that the brunt of podcasts are free, the thought of paying for one doesn't even cross my mind. I don't have the disposable income to pay for a podcast. It's partially why i enjoy the free entertainment. I do write the podcaster and let them know I appreciate their work (hence, the reason for me even knowing Yoda in any way).
But, if there was a paradigm shift and podcasts cost 25 cents each. I'd be a lot more selective in what I listen to but I'd still pay for some, yeah.
Ads are cool with me. Especially if they're relevant. If I'm listening to E2 and I'm told where to go to get feminine hygiene products, I'm bound to get real bored real quick. Then again, Michael Butler at the Rock and Roll Geek Show is sponsored by Mobil Motor Oil and he seems to be doing alright.
Some podcasts I listen to have extra content for $5/$10 per month. I don't partake but if that helps them keep going I'm all for it.
In my original statement I never meant to upset you in any way, Yoda. Of course the podcaster's time, effort, hosting costs and equipment are worth paying for, it's just that the infrastructure doesn't support that at this time. Look at Ricky Gervais' podcast. He charged for it from the get go and that didn't last long. A couple of guys sitting around a table telling jokes doesn't constitute a payment for me unless those guys are Patton Oswalt, Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedberg. Funnily enough, E2 the Show would be in that group I'd still pay for. Although I'd hope my involvement would get me a free subscription (or at least a staff discount!)

Boo!
It's Cats and Dogs with a fucking cape!

I voted nothing because there's too much free content out there. That said, if a podcast was offering a very cool original creative product (songs, podiobooks) then I might pay for them but they'd have to be of very high quality.
-
Right on, Ian!
I am still listening but thought I'd mention I'm right there with you on Stan Lee. That second "really?" had me laughing out loud. The guy should accept his check and shut up as far as I'm concerned. If I didn't have a babysitter for the kids I'd have walked out of Spider-Man 3 after his cameo.
That said: Mike, you'll walk out of The Simpsons movie before it starts to catch a teaser but you're excited for Underdog? For shame. The talking dog movie? Really? Really?

At this point I wouldn't even believe him!

Bloody Disgusting now says "Colossus"

and here's that sweet poster:
-
Bloody Disgusting is calling the film "Murderous"
and is "a giant monster movie (a parasite) shown on cheap cameras from regular people's perspective."

I'm the same Yoda.
However, while I think that the heyday of the Simpsons is seasons 6-10 (absolute brilliance), the show is still the sharpest satire and one of the funniest shows on television today.
Besides Stewart, Colbert, Family Guy and the Office there is nothing out there even remotely in competition with this show.
I would put South Park in there with those shows if you are talking about sharp satire.
I can't get past the fart jokes and juvenalia but yes I'm aware of it's satire. I don't think it's anywhere in the same league as those I mentioned.
-
That said, when my shitty local theatre gets the movie (probably in three weeks or so) I'll be first in line.
My wife wants to see it and it's rare to want to see the same movie. I'm all over it.

Well done, sir.
You forgot to mention the part about the writer signing over at Marvel where he is forced to write tie-ins for a crossover that pledges to change the Marvel U forever. Those tie-ins interrupt the flow of his fledgling book that was just getting its own steam and developing an audience until the crossover confused everybody. Fans drop the book in droves and the writer falls into an alcoholic binge until, he's hired as a DC editor!
The cycle continues!!!
