Dread

I can see Common as John Stewart. Adam Brody as Flash? I could probably see that too. I first thought of Adrian Brody instead of Adam and had a huge groan. So maybe my acceptance of Brody is based on the fact that he's a much better choice than Adrian. I still think Ryan Reynolds is made for that job...

I loves me some Previews episodes! While i agree with you on Saw (so much potential) I firmly disagree on Hostel. I think it is actually quite a finely crafted film with just as much "quiet" dread and terror as there is gore. I agree with Jenny: Hunter sucked. Yes there were 3 Darkman films. The third is called Die Darkman Die. Yes, it is...I love the first one too. I don't like Raimi much at all but Darkman gets me somehow.

I'd have to disagree with those who are liking the animation on New Frontier. I think it looks awful. I saw the trailer at WW Chicago and was totally unimpressed. This should be the one where the animation looks exactly like the book but in this case it misses the mark totally. I'm not sure if this trailer on S/D is the same but if it is: Not excited.

The only way this works for is that it was all a dream and we end up seeing him die at the end of First Blood.

I've said it before but I couldn't resist the official thread: Happy Birthday. and Deniro's not playing Thor...he's Donald Blake.

GODDDAMN YOU FIREFOX AND YOUR CONVENIENT WEB BROWSING FEATURES!!!!!!!!! those extra exclamation points are for Yoda.

Whoa! That article was not very inclusive. This just in: DeNiro actually plays Thor!

Yes, but it didn't feel like a Die Hard movie because of it's rating. well put. It felt, to me, like the version you see on television: "Yippee Ki-Ay bad guy" Happy birthday, by the way.

Like I don't have enough to do! :laugh: I will use that first topic. I think I'll even do the recommended viewing thing again this year as last year it kind of changed on me halfway through.

Not being able to work professionally. Essentially, you have to qualify. Apparently animation and web content don't count. You need a body of work to be considered and a pilot isn't good enough. Funnily enough, I heard an interview with Patton Oswalt who was talking about writing comedy for one of the MTV Awards and he was hired as a Co-Producer not a writer so he wouldn't have to be paid the high WGA wages.

Wow! Good guess Tim! How did you ever come up with that?! note sarcasm...

Heh! I do my best podcasting amidst the weeping of children...Muah-hahahahahahahahaha! I'm the father of two kids under two so there will be the occasionally crying in the background...

Because they're fucking arseholes. Even though I belong to one, I hate unions because they've gone so far beyond protecting the worker into using workers for their own monetary gain. My union went on illegal strike two years ago (before I was a member, thus barring me from strike pay) for a month. The contract we got after a month? Slightly worse than the one offered two weeks earlier. Interesting tidbit from Warren Ellis: Sounds like a great union doesn't it? Gives a whole new meaning to "they have the money but we have the power"

I imagine, since it lead to an arrest, either DNA, chemical fluid expulsion from fabrics (ie: finding old cleaned up blood) or digital fingerprinting. These are the only real substantial technological advances that lead to direct arrests on people they didn't have enough evidence for in the first place. As far as I know.

The new film by Wrong Turn and Masters of Horror season 2 offering "Right to Die" Rob Schmidt, has reinvigorated police in Rochester NY to use new forensic methods to solve an old case. This lead to an arrest of a person of interest in the crimes which officially stopped in 1976. The Alphabet Killer slayed women and dumped their bodies in towns whose name matched the name of the victim as far as the first letter is concerned (Susan = Stratford) but has gone unsolved for more than thirty years. The film, The Alphabet Killer, is being submitted to Sundance and is expected to cause quite a bidding war between studios. Not much more info at the link here.

Ditto on that.

Director, Xavier Gens, pulled from film after his cut was too violent. Nicholas de Toth, sawbones in charge of making Live Free or Die Hard bloodless, has been called in to chop the film from what would have been a hard R. Look for a bloodless Hitman!

Nice one, drq! I'll have to check it out.

My guess: rolling out Secret Civil Invasion War II

It says, biggest and only. It could be that they're switching inkers on Penance: Relentless.

Yeah one comic book I can skip for two reasons! And four creative teams on a three times monthly book? Is an extra week going to keep it from being Countdown bad? Probably not.

By the way, Des, next week we're reviewing: - New Excalibur #24 - Ultimate X-Men #87 - Wolverine: Origins #18 - X-Men: Die by the Sword #1 - X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #2 :youlose: No Spider-man? No JMS? No Slott? You ain't got nuthin!

Bravo to the best and most honest comic book review team on them there intarwub! Tim, gotta agree on that Loeb run of Wolvie. It stunk. Not sure I'm so in the boat with you on Punisher, though. far more interesting things are being done in War Journal but still great reviews nonetheless. Now, if you can only get rid of that Yoda guy...

That's why the company's keeping tabs on the resistance through Mohinder.
