  1. Thanks, Ian. I really liked doing it but I just don't have the time with various projects and a family to submit any more segments to E2 The Show. After all, I've got nine more months of Countdown and a whole whack of IIWY's to do as well. That Mike keeps me busy I tells ya! Thanks again for the warm remarks.
  2. I would never be involved in asking for ANY pirated item but if one were to perhaps send a file via a service like, say, yousendit.com to my email address i would just have to watch it wouldn't I?
  3. I haven't seen it yet either. I've been looking for an affordable, or at least a rentable, copy but i have heard it's quite good.
  4. An absolute classic B slasher with one of the most distrurbing final images in the history of cinema.
  5. or hell will open up and the dead will walk the earth...2. dot net.
  6. Like him or not, clearly he's been listening to a lot of George Carlin and Bill Hicks...check this out
  7. How do you know he was impersonating Dent? I said it was released in May, didn't I? I say again: Having an off day today aren't ya Yoda?
  8. maybe the most over-played song of all time
  9. Previews episodes make Des a happy boy!

    Final Crisis

    DON'T GIVE DC ANY IDEAS! I can see it now, the next DC editorial meeting to determine the next crisis: Editor 1: We need another crisis. Writer: But we've had three in the last few years. Editor 2: I agree. Writer: Thank you! Editor 2: Not with you. Writer: *sigh* Editor 2: Anything with "crisis" on the cover sells. Editor 1: Exactly! Writer: Fine! What's the "crisis" this time? Editor 1: Remember when Superboy Pr... er... the lone survivor of Earth-Prime punched reality? Writer: I don't like where this is going. Editor 1: Well, what if shards of reality got stuck in his skin? Editor 2: YES! And now, as he pulls the shards out, reality changes! Writer: Oh god... Editor 2: So the heroes have to stop Sup... the lone survivor of Earth-Prime from pulling out the remaining shards, or else they face the end of reality as we know it. Writer: Soooo... they have to take away his tweezers? Editors 1 & 2: BINGO! Editor 2: Since this is a criss, we have to kill a Flash Editor 1: Jay? Editor 2: Too easy. Editor 1: Wally? Editor 2: We just brought him back. Editor 1: Bart? Editors 1 & 2: HA HA HA HA HA! Editor 1: I know! Let's bring Barry back, then kill him an issue later! No one will see it coming! Editor 2: That's a green light! Writer: And what are we calling this crisis? Editor 1: Final Crisis II: One More Time Writer: *sigh* Well done, sir. You forgot to mention the part about the writer signing over at Marvel where he is forced to write tie-ins for a crossover that pledges to change the Marvel U forever. Those tie-ins interrupt the flow of his fledgling book that was just getting its own steam and developing an audience until the crossover confused everybody. Fans drop the book in droves and the writer falls into an alcoholic binge until, he's hired as a DC editor! The cycle continues!!!
  11. Nice job, Christopher! I had this pre-ordered and it made its way high onto the list of next reads. I'll give it a boo and maybe resurrect this thread with my post reading thoughts. Yay for a book review on the site!
  12. During our review of NA: Illuminati #4, it sounded like I said "Ive never like Black Bolt.' Not true. What I said was I've "never liked him so much." Skype ain't purty all the time folks.
  13. looks pretty good. I'm actually kind of impressed with that. I'm hoping they didn't give too much away in that trailer but I'll keep my speculation out of this forum until a later date. More on Rob Zombie's Halloween soon, folks.

    Final Crisis

    Awww...come on! Reality is asking for it! It needs to have dinner ready when Superboy Prime comes back and she never learns.
  15. According to horror-web.com, Abrams' only involvement is as Producer. Ummm...lame.
  16. Not this time but you still get written up...
  17. Fuckin' A, fellas! Best comic reviews on the web. Well done. A lot of sites could learn a few things from the fine gentlemen at E2. I'm not just saying that because one of them is mine. I say this because these are in depth, thoughtful and without pretension or ass-kissery of any kind.
  18. I voted yes but would enjoy the inclusion of contemporary lit as well
  19. Personally, I think you can be geeky about anything. My dad is a classic car geek. I know more than my share of hockey geeks. Since, literature fits into the media area we should definitely cover it here. A book/literature sub-forum is more than welcome in my opinion. We should narrow it to geeky lit or at least lit one thinks folks here would find interesting...First person to mention Jane Eyre gets a punch in the nose.
  20. I'll take credit for those thank you very much! Is Brad Meltzer writing for Marvel now?
  21. Staff pays double. I've worked for people like you before...
  22. This is very true.
  23. Ok. seeing that the brunt of podcasts are free, the thought of paying for one doesn't even cross my mind. I don't have the disposable income to pay for a podcast. It's partially why i enjoy the free entertainment. I do write the podcaster and let them know I appreciate their work (hence, the reason for me even knowing Yoda in any way). But, if there was a paradigm shift and podcasts cost 25 cents each. I'd be a lot more selective in what I listen to but I'd still pay for some, yeah. Ads are cool with me. Especially if they're relevant. If I'm listening to E2 and I'm told where to go to get feminine hygiene products, I'm bound to get real bored real quick. Then again, Michael Butler at the Rock and Roll Geek Show is sponsored by Mobil Motor Oil and he seems to be doing alright. Some podcasts I listen to have extra content for $5/$10 per month. I don't partake but if that helps them keep going I'm all for it. In my original statement I never meant to upset you in any way, Yoda. Of course the podcaster's time, effort, hosting costs and equipment are worth paying for, it's just that the infrastructure doesn't support that at this time. Look at Ricky Gervais' podcast. He charged for it from the get go and that didn't last long. A couple of guys sitting around a table telling jokes doesn't constitute a payment for me unless those guys are Patton Oswalt, Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedberg. Funnily enough, E2 the Show would be in that group I'd still pay for. Although I'd hope my involvement would get me a free subscription (or at least a staff discount!) :laugh:
