  1. Which wouldn't make sense. Joss Whedon freaking WORSHIPS Kitty Pryde. There's no way he'd remove her.
  2. Thank you, sir. I was actually going to start a thread like this myself. I'm always going to be looking for ideas. At the moment, I'm actually looking at no less than four series, because I'm freaking insane. One of them was actually a suggestion someone made to me, of a show I'd never seen before and had actually barely heard of, and I'm loving it, so I'm getting introduced to new series, and that's been a really cool side effect of doing this. (Another two of them are on your list.)
  3. That actually makes a lot of sense; I have heard the 13 weeks thing before. Saturday morning cartoons tend to get made in seasons of 13 episodes, and I know that in the 80s, when sydicated cartoons really got up and running, the first season was always 65 episodes for that very reason (13 weeks of no reruns).
  4. Holy crap. Holy crap holy crap holy crap. All right, Snyder. I'm in. I'm fucking well in.
  5. It's Turpin. :laugh: It's "Toland". (What? Oh...)

    Kick-Ass

    Isn't naming your book "Kick-Ass" basically asking people to not like it?

    SRMTHG on DVD?

    The key is, of course, a clever disguise. Bees are consistently bewildered by the sudden apprearance of a Little Black Rain Cloud Hover Over The Honey Tree. Plus, the mud is great for your skin, and also you're flying.
  8. Chaykin did a lot of really good, cutting-edge stuff in the 80s (American Flagg, The Shadow), but I felt his strengths were much more as a writer than an artist. Nowadays he looks like he draws with his feet. He wrote the Trickster episodes, though, so I will let it slide. EDITED because "relaly" is not, in fact, a word.
  9. Ahhhhh! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
  10. I get what you're saying. Yes, it hits the same notes as the Claremont/Miller miniseries, which I loved. The first time I read it. Twenty-five years ago. I've just read too many variations on that same story - frequently by Claremont himself - over the years to be at all interested in another. As an homage, yes, it works. You make an extremely valid point. I wasn't interested in an homage, though; I wanted a story. And as a comic book story, it's derivative crap, and expensive derivative crap at that. Your mileage may vary; that's why fandom rocks so hard. You're wrong, though. :angel: DW, awesome Punisher review. My office mates are all looking at me funny.
  11. Oh, don't think he hasn't learned that lesson by now. The location of any money he may come into contact with is carefully rotated around to a number of hidden locations. The fact that I just sometimes need candy doesn't seem to move him. Father of the Year? Very possibly.
  12. A new laptop? Hell, I'm not totally sure yet how I'm going to come up with the $7.25.

    A sad day

    I have to say my experience parallels Drq's. I bought a 360 for my son two Christmases ago, and as a video game system, it made a helluva paperweight right out of the box. While my initial experience with Microsoft tech support was like something out of a Kafka novel (literally a four-hour phone call, after which they pronmptly lost all my information and cancelled the work order), after that everything went very smoothly, and I had my 360 back about ten days after I sent it out. It hasn't caused a lick of trouble since. Now, I've heard that it's gotten a LOT worse since then, and you're more likely to get someone else's broken 360 back than you are to get your own broken 360 back, and a brand new one is virtually unheard of any more.
  14. It's true... Mark Hamill is the center of the universe... If you're interested, this is a video that gives a good idea of what Hamill did with the role.

    Episode 26

    I finally got a chance to listen to this one. I really enjoyed your interview with Nelson. Outstanding job.
  16. So you're... disappointed, or... ?
  17. This game sounds amazing. I can't wait to start it. As always, James, great job.
  18. Well, it was nice while it lasted.
  19. is there anything Mark Hamil can't do? he's a badass jedi, an awesome voice actor and awesome all around actor not to mention a comics historian, and just an all around nice guy. oh yeah i remember seeing him in a Superman documentary he also wrote, directed and starred in the excellent film Comic Book: The Movie. I still need to watch that It's not bad. Everyone's having fun, and it's pretty infectious.
