Heh "Thou art a buttmunch".

Meh, I'd rather they used the JLA characters for individual films and then they could do a 1940-50 era JSA film that fit the overall continuity. I have no idea why they woud want to try and ruin all this with a team film right now. I want the individual franchises off the ground before the JLA comes into it. Green Lantern, Flash and Wonder Woman all need thier own films. Then in the film itself the Martian Manhunter can unite the league and they can bring in Aquaman if they like. Marvel could pull off the Avengers because only Thor, Iron man, Captain America and a version of Ant-man are worthy of thier own films and in the case of Cap he's better off with an Avengers spinoff than starting on his own. The JLA is too star studded to be anything more than a letdown. Besides, JLU was already the perfection of that group.

Y'know, Doctor Who was pure crap last season right up until this point. Then it became the best Sci-fi show there is. This two-parter, Blink and the following four-part finale really restored my faith in this show, with Blink in particular being absolutly pant-wettingly terrifying. Seriously, its the creepiest episode of TV since the Buffy episode Hush. Not to mention that the first non-dalek non-cybermen season finale totally rules. Watch this. Also when it comes out over there watch Jekyll. That is a freaky-good sci-fi/supernatural show.

I'd go for one of three options 1- Rambaldi symbol from Alias. All the prophets followers seem to get these, be they on the hand or the wrist or the neck. If I could garantee that I'd never have to work again ever then I'd have to go with one between the thumb and forefinger. Its basically just <0>. Its a cool unobtrusive cultish design. 2- Ringed planet original Captain Marvel logo like the chest symbol in this picture. A small one of these on the forearm or leg would be cool. 3- Starman jacket logo, most likely on the shoulder or upper back to one side

Edgar Wright directing Ant-Man could be tremendous. Obviously I'd prefer to have Simon Pegg as the Eric O'Grady Ant-Man but I'd rather they garanteed the success of the film than catered to my personal wishes. Of course the Eric O'Grady Ant-Man is the one they should use. The whole Shield deal will work out great as well since Samuel L Jackson will already be established as Nick Fury by that point.

I've tended towards the view that geeky trends towards sci-fi and fantasy. Whilst its true that a man who can recite every score in the last 30 years of Man U are as big geeks as anyone, I think that in terms of this site I've always thought it rightfully trended towards the traditionally geeky hobbies. Of course its possible to be a huge music nerd, my brother devotes as much time and money to his CD collection as I do towards Wrestling and comics combined. However music would not be defined as niche entertainment in quite the same way as either of my preferences. In the same way classic literature has no kind of geeky connotations, its not really niche entertainment in that way. I guess that places like Earth-2 celebrate that which might otherwise be in some way shunned, which is great. Whilst I like classic literature I don't see it as something that really needs that kind of promotion or protection. Of course if you wish to go in that direction I'll be interested to see where it goes and I will probably certainly check out whatever is produced as a result, but its important to stay true to your roots. I would agree that more intellegent people would tend towards reading or enjoying material that you or I might, but lets not pretend that the comic book club is the megabrain society. There are idiots in all walks of life, and they are evenly spread in my experiance.

Oh that was just WRONG! Sweet Moses that was funny but just wrong.

Yeah me too. I liked the fact that the kid was supermans son... I liked the implication that Lois had given birth to Supermans' son when in the movie lore her memory of getting together with Supes was wiped. Why is she not more angry that she was unknowingly impregnated? Its hilarious.

I really liked Superman Returns.

It was sweet when they break into the G1 ark and find the deactivated remains of the original Transformers before they were awoken in 1984.

Multiple pistol shots at close range trump a single sniper bullet, regardless of the victim.

I pay for my Figure 4 subscription but thats a whole package including board access and a physical newsletter. I don't think I'd pay any other site for Podcasts when I get so much from that one site already.

Awww...come on! Reality is asking for it! It needs to have dinner ready when Superboy Prime comes back and she never learns. Looks like it hurt. I bet he was picking bit of reality out of his knuckles after that.

On the contrary, whilst I was never the biggest Beast Wars fan it was still miles ahead of this Teen Titans junk. Why is the theme music Chris Cornell Lite? One of the great things about the Transformers was the very physical nature of the characters and thier transformations, this totally undermines that by adopting a very 2-D style that pretty much abandons any perspective. This looks very poor.

I'm just correcting or mentioning stuff as I listen here, I don't blame anyone for not reading this. Bumblebee was a Camero because General Motors had the contract to provide all the car forms and government vehicles. The Allspark was a representation of the Matrix, not an Energon cube. Its a mix of the two really, but its much closer to the Matrix, hence dumping Energon. On top of that, it doesn't just create Deceticons, it creates mindlessly aggressive robots. The humans in Transformers originally were Spike Witwhicky and his dad Sparkplug. Later on its Spike and his son Daniel. In the comic the young companion was originally Spikes' brother Buster. It was Bernie Mac bacause thats better than just using a no-name guy. Whats the problem with that? The Transformers were changed into different forms based on the analysis of the Ark's computor which gave them shapes to fit with their surroudings. In later versions like Transformers Cybertron they could assume different shapes on thier own, but originally they were stuck with the forms the Ark gave them. Is Ebay really product placement or just the prevalent form of Internet sales? Ebay probably paid for it but at the same time I doubt the writers were asking "now which internet sales site should we use for this scene?" Y'know? Besides, the product placement was far worse in Casino Royale. Jazz was black? You assume this because of his character? On top off all that, this film was very good. It was funny, it had action, it was amazingly realised. The character design was too busy to be iconic and made the action hard to follow at some points, and a lot of the government stuff could have been dropped (like that sector 7 goof, and the soldiers could have been wiped out in the first attack), but otherwise I really liked this film. A lot of characters got little time but at the same time I really didn't want to waste time on expanding of lot of them. Only Starcream could have used more, and since we will see him again I'm guessing we'll get more.

I'm pretty damn excited, although like most non-superhero comic adaptations I think it would work better as a mini-series than a film. Still, the budget will come in hand for the "every guy in the world drops dead" montage.

Why Hawkman? Why a JSA guy?

Looks pretty good to me. Like a high budget fugitive series with hints of Buffy. Plus the Bionic Woman is the hot chick from BBC's Jekyll. Definitly on my new trial list.

Aunt May. What a twist! That would be the funniest reveal if she does kick the bucket. The real Aunt may is in a stasis pod in a Skrull secret base. That way in five or ten years they can bring her back.

"If Tony Stark tries to kill us we'll know he's a Skrull". Should be fun! I don't mind the art, its a good contrast to the Mighty Avengers. Obviously I'm hoping that its a short term deal but right now it aids the differentiation between the two titles.

That Batman comic where it was revealed that Dick and Bruce shared a bed.

Kirsten Dunst says it will be Peter.

I almost gave up on Dr Who because the first half of this season was so poor, but with only one episode to go the last three have been as good as anything on TV this year. The single episode featuring the lonely assassins was sci-fi horror at its best, and this current four-part storyline is the best thing they have done with Tennants' Doctor yet. On a wider note the Doctors new assistant is very good, its just the horrible writing that crippled this show earlier on. Right now Who is the best thing on TV every week. Also "Do I just have a face that no-one listens to? Again?" Is that a previous thing? Which Doctor would that be?

Mary Jane, screw it if she isn't a costumed heroine. Catwoman. Miss Misery, from Sleeper. She enjoys doing things that are wrong Jessica Jones, Jewel-era, preferably hypnotised ala The Purple Man. Starfire. The collective normal three Birds of Prey. Huntress in her short-shorts costume. Wondergirl and Super-girl, but only at the same time.

Fuck! I loved Ant-man! It's almost blasphemy to be to cancel ANYTHING Kirkman is writing right now, especilly something as awesome as this! Look at it this way, the book that replaces it will be cancelled in 12 issues and the book after that. Why not just take the budget for those and use it to make more Ant-man? That way you arn't losing any money you wouldn't have otherwise lost anyway!
