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.

I voted yes but would enjoy the inclusion of contemporary lit as well

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.

I'll take credit for those thank you very much! Is Brad Meltzer writing for Marvel now?

Staff pays double. I've worked for people like you before...

This is very true.

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:

I don't hate the player, I hate the LAME!

Boo! It's Cats and Dogs with a fucking cape!

I voted nothing because there's too much free content out there. That said, if a podcast was offering a very cool original creative product (songs, podiobooks) then I might pay for them but they'd have to be of very high quality.

Right on, Ian! I am still listening but thought I'd mention I'm right there with you on Stan Lee. That second "really?" had me laughing out loud. The guy should accept his check and shut up as far as I'm concerned. If I didn't have a babysitter for the kids I'd have walked out of Spider-Man 3 after his cameo. That said: Mike, you'll walk out of The Simpsons movie before it starts to catch a teaser but you're excited for Underdog? For shame. The talking dog movie? Really? Really?

Grant Morrison and JG Jones? Me am happy.

I won't believe anything until Abrams says it. At this point I wouldn't even believe him!

Bloody Disgusting now says "Colossus"

and here's that sweet poster:

Bloody Disgusting is calling the film "Murderous" and is "a giant monster movie (a parasite) shown on cheap cameras from regular people's perspective."

I would put South Park in there with those shows if you are talking about sharp satire. I can't get past the fart jokes and juvenalia but yes I'm aware of it's satire. I don't think it's anywhere in the same league as those I mentioned.

That said, when my shitty local theatre gets the movie (probably in three weeks or so) I'll be first in line. My wife wants to see it and it's rare to want to see the same movie. I'm all over it.

I'm the same Yoda. However, while I think that the heyday of the Simpsons is seasons 6-10 (absolute brilliance), the show is still the sharpest satire and one of the funniest shows on television today. Besides Stewart, Colbert, Family Guy and the Office there is nothing out there even remotely in competition with this show.

God, I was wondering the same thing. Other than that, though, (and admittedly, I know NOTHING about "The Ultimates"), this artwork is absolutely stunning and makes me want to go pick it up. I don't know how anyone could NOT know about comicdom's second longest running 26 issue series (planetary has it beat!)

Or Mockingbird?

Nope. She's been in Ultimate Spider-Man. Plus she has white hair, not blond. Dagger?

05. Silver Sable anyone?

I've never been the biggest Joe Mad fan but that image looks cool. I'll be sticking around to check this series out.

I don't have the link but maybe Variety reported it after another Western Horror type film is announced by Rogue pictures. Warner Bros. has optioned Jonah Hex! Look for a resurgence in Westerns (YAY!!!) in the coming years and an actor way too young to play Jonah in the role.
