  1. What exactly will it take to earn something of this magnificence?
  2. Okay, I'm officially starting the Dubs fan club.
  3. The older films were more successful because AVP was garbage. I hated that movie. They also came out in an era when a thirteen-year-old kid could buy a ticket to an R-rated movie without any difficulty. Theater owners here came under a lot of fire for that a few years back.
  4. I think that as Hollywood moves away from ticket sales being the driving force behind a movie's profitability, and towards DVD sales, then R rated movies will make more and more of a comeback. I can (from a business standpoint) understand why studios weere moving towards PG-13, now that theater owners are being made to adhere more closely to the ratings system, but when DVD sales make that a non-issue, these movies will be able to stay true to their R-rated origins.

    I got me a Big Mo'!

    Oh noes! The store is selling off its stock of Big Mo's at $0.22 a bar.
  6. I think modern Cap has the potential to be a better movie, but 40s Cap would be a lot of fun.
  7. I almost think they'd HAVE to do this. The fact that Cap hasn't been written as jingoistic and uber-patriotic since the '50s won't register with the rest of the world. Hell, he'll have to climb that hill with a lot of American non-comics readers. So, from a purely realistic storytelling standpoint, they'd have to address it somehow, whether he's the Captain or Captain Rogers or whatever.
  8. Oh, he's made some movies that were fun enough. I liked The Italian Job, though The Negotiator is probably his best. Friday really doesn't do anything for me, though.
  9. I swear to God, if someone hands him a bidi-bidi-bidi robot...
  10. Okay, this was just the first part of an awesome day for me as a whole. I don't know how it'll stand up to repeated viewings, but this movie freaking rocked. So much fun. Conversations at lunch afterwards: "He has a baby... on his chest." "You mean, like, the symbol on his shirt, or..." "No. A baby." "An actual baby?" "Yeah." "On his chest?" "Yeah." Pause. "I don't understand." "Okay. There's this baby..." "I get that." "... and it's strapped to his chest." "As a shield?" Then, we begin the caravan to the New England Comics, where not only is it Free Comic Book Day, but they're having their annual 50% off sale. I got a month's worth of reading material for $16, and in addition to the sanctioned freebies (Got my Owly on), he was giving away backstock of books be couldn't sell... such as Cable #1. Best Day Ever.
  11. No particular order. 1. Animaniacs 2. G.I. Joe 3. Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends 4. The Tick 5. Earthworm Jim 6. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 7. Thundercats 8. Battle of the Planets 9. Batman: TAS 10. Transformers
  12. I'm sorry, but could someone please, please take this show behind the barn and put it out of its misery?

    Did I just hear that?

    Were you volunteering in some sort of state-run hospital at the time? It was a high school student. Same thing, really.

  15. All right... I admit it. My name is Dan, and I am a frustrated, deeply closeted robosexual. Nothing turns my motor like the incessant chirping of "bidi-bidi-bidi" and 1950's slang. I've tried to deny it for too long. I feel as if a great weight has been lifted off of me. C'mere, Twiki. No... leave Dr. Theopolis on.
  16. Your parents met briefly at a masquerade ball.
  17. There is an evil streak in you. It's a basic principle. When I rise up against my oppressors and take control of this planet, the Constitution will read as follows: 1. Do as thou wilt, and that shall be the whole of the law. 2. Fuck Twiki. It's 50% of what the entire rule of law is based on! Fuck Twiki! Look at his head; it's what he was built for! Even if you can't see it under THE FUCKING COWBOY HAT.
  18. What the hell did you do to my avatar?!?!?!?
  19. Don't encourage them. Mike thinks he owns the place as it is.

    See, now, that I'd read. "Attention, criminals of Gotham! Um... never mind."
