  1. Using Photoshop on a Mac is one of the most annoying things ever. I can't use any of the keyboard shortcuts that I'm used to on my PC because on the Macs they all use the damn apple key. And it doesn't help that the school computers all have crappy keyboards, anyway.

    It isn't easy, is it? That picture in my previous post is the first one I've ever been able to post online.

  2. The review of this issue of Cable:

    If something is a babychest, it means that it is that bad. Just a piece of shit with little no redeemable value. Insert witty simile here.

    What the hell is that doing on his chest?

  3. I never should have told my housemate about Babychest, now he keeps provoking me and then holding the baby Cable-style to defend himself.

    What's the deal with the whole Babychest thing, anyway?

  4. There don't seem to be many moderate views on Grant Morrison. He's either legendary, or confusing and mediocre. No middle of the road. I'm taking that road, as the truth clearly lies in the middle. No, he's not Stan Lee, but he does have some good works to his name. I've read some of his work, and yes, a lot of it is very complcated. I can see how it could easily turn convoluted. Some of it is still very good, though, so he's not terrible. But, as is so often the case in comics, the truth is in the eye of the reader.

    This. I mean, I'm definitely in the Morrison is freaking awesome camp. For that matter, going on your example, Stan Lee isn't even Stan Lee. Stan Lee hasn't really written anything great since the 70s. I prefer the Kirby side of Lee/Kirby. All in the eye of the reader.

    I'm kind of partial to Geoff Johns myself, and it's not like he's without criticisms. I try not to crap on writers other people like. That is, unless they really write crap.

  6. James, sorry for bringing up a certain episode of Superman: The Animated Series. Guess that now belongs in the Unmentionable bin, along with a certain character from Batman Beyond.

    I haven't heard the episode yet. Does the unmentionable start with a p and end with rototype?

  7. You just can't let it go, can you? Is it really something that serious? Hell, we've got one more TT-centric episode and it's over. Honestly, I've always taken a tongue-in-cheek stance as relates to the whole continuity debate from Day 1.

    That makes me sad. I found myself liking Teen Titans much more than I thought I would.

  8. I actually don't think I've seen anything with Richard Pryor in it. Would this be a good place to start or not?

    Yes, and no. It really depends on if you want to see a comedy Superman film, where the main Metropolis cast is booted in the first fifteen minutes, you get a secondhand Lex Luthor clone, and that really is a waste of time.

    Watch movies where he teams up with Gene Wilder, such as See No Evil, Stir Crazy, and Silver Streak. Watch them, and then watch Superman III, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.

    The first scene of Superman III was enough to turn me off. It was WAY campier than the museum scene done to Prince.
