Netflix is the balls. The best thing about them is the sheer range of what they have available; they have the most obscure crap that the video store down the street will NEVER have on its shelf, regardless of whether you go to a Blockbuster or that mom and pop place with all kinds of random weirdness every town has.
I'm currently on a three-at-a-time plan. I may go down to a two-at-a-time plan, though, 'cause I don't have as much movie-watching time as I used to.

Heh. She's bumpy.
Christ, I really am 12 sometimes.

I just realized... this is part of a plot by Marvel Comics to get me to start buying again, isn't it?

Yeah, when you put up thew He-Man one I was like "meh" but this...THIS is something else.
The He-man ones weren't from Power Records, were they?
For me it was the FF one. "Too... heavy! Can't... MOVE!"

Power Records, for an entire generation they were the source of endless amusement. Each record was filled with action, drama and adventure! Not only could you listen to the excitement, but you could read along in a storybook. Those days are here again as Earth-2.net presents four Batman stories: Robin Meets Man-Bat, Gorilla City, Mystery of the Scarecrow Corpse and Catwoman's Revenge! To read along, use the following link to download the PDF storybook: http://www.earth-2.net/theshow/images/batm...wer-records.pdf [ 52:20 || 23.9 MB ]

Holy mother of crap! This is awesome! I haven't even THOUGHT about these in 20 years!

SOLD!
Yeah, I'm kind of a dork. Still - glee!

Justice isn't always pretty to look at.

I was at a concert in Glasgow and the guy in front of me held his cell phone up in front of him filming the entire fucking thing. Bright screen in my eye in dark hall? Not good. I told him to put it away several times. I slapped it out of his hand and it skid into the mosh pit. I punched him and then he ran off to get his phone...never saw him again. I like to think he was trampled to death.
You can get away with that kind of thing in Glasgow.
That must have been immensely satisfying. I think you might be my new hero.

Oh, my head.
So, Quesada hated Peter's marriage. Vocally. This is well known. I get it. But he didn't want to have Peter get divorced, because that would create a disconnect with the readers... so a PACT WITH SATAN (kind of) was the only alternative? Wha?
Joe Q is making my brain hurt.

I'm really looking forward to this movie; the talent behind it is giving me a lot of hope for this one.
Is there any kind of statistical data about how much a movie boosts a comics sales, if at all (to any serious extent)? I wonder what kind of product rollout Marvel has in mind. I keep picturing people wandering into their local comic shop and finding the new Iron Man, only to find that these days, Tony Stark is... well, kind of a douche.

Jenny's rant: THAT is why I hate theaters!
Oh, I HATE theaters. Hate hate hate theaters. Hate them.
Teenagers, drunk girls, and frat boys - hear me now.
We are NOT in your living room. Shut up. Sit down.
Get your candy and your soda beforehand.
Don't yell at the screen; they can't hear you.
Don't ask your buddy to pause it. Either you're joking, in which case shut up, or you're not, and you're kind of retarded.
Get. Off. Your phone.
It tickles me no end that this is your third time watching this movie. Please stop telling your buddy what's about to happen.
This doesn't even take into the experiece of paying $11 for a ticket and then buying a small popcorn and soda, and then realizing that somewhere a mistake was made, because now you have no money.
Aargh. :grumble:

They had to take it down due to bandwidth issues. YouTube to the Rescue
This actually looks pretty cool.
Hmm... that actually looks like there might be more humor to it than I'd originally heard. I'm very intertested to see how this turns out.

I'd like to think I can take more than that too. Clearly this quiz does not take into account my overwhelming DRIVE to beat up on kindergarteners.

Hang on. This list is wrong. I have three words.
Wave.
Motion.
Gun.

I desperately wish I could find the link, because I think Uwe himself said it all: "If you loved Lord of the Rings, you'll like Dungeon Siege." (italics mine)

I really thought I was going to make it to this movie's opening without getting my hopes up. One picture of a kid reading "Tales from the Black Freighter" and I start to jibber. :urock:
-
I guess that's good.
Darth Maul as Snake Eyes is better than I could have hoped.
That could be good. Ray Park is almost comically tiny, but I'm sure they can find ways to make me not notice. :happy:

It's the same with Fantastic Four. They botched Doom, Reed wasn't aloof enough, Sue wasn't matronly enough.....but when you compare those downsides (which there were quite a bit) and compared it to what was GREAT about the FF movie (spot on Torch/Thing banter, the Thing and Torch in general, Stan Lee as Willie Lumpkin) it made the movie tolerable and as a result I enjoyed it despite it's shortcomings.
The FF movies weren't great, by a long shot. However, Chiklis and Evans were perfect as Ben and Johnny and were responsible for any enjoyment I personally got out of either movie (second was miles better than the first, but that's kind of like saying that Uranus is miles closer than Neptune. Technically true, but neither's really within driving distance).
I don't know if you guys were bothered by this as much as I was but remember when you first saw that full size image of Routh as Superman for Superman Returns.........what was the first thing that popped into your head?For me it was 'Why is there an S shield on his buckle?' That belt buckle bugged the living shit out of me for the entire movie.....but it wasn't enough to stop me from digging Superman Returns.
It was the S shields on the heels of his boots that kept me awake at night. (Seriously, go look if you missed 'em.)
In terms of that which I enjoy that no one else understands, I LOVED the Alec Baldwin Shadow.
Which film are you more excited for?
in Comic Book Adaptations

I'm really looking forward to both of them, but Iron Man's never been done as live-action before, so it (just) gets my nod.
