  1. HO LEE Fuck! Is it just me or does Jeff Bridges look like he's Vincent Price there? and here: This has all the makings of the best superhero movie ever.
  2. I have my thoughts as well but if they're right then I hate Marvel. Captain America better not be the answer.

    Chris Benoit dead

    It is my regret that I feel the need to relay the news of the death of Chris Benoit and his family. He was always my favorite wrestler when I watched him (from early local TV to WCW to WWE). He always combined showmanship with amazing physicality and had an intensity not often seen. I was honored at the E2 Main Page awards by being referred to having a "Chirs Benoit-like work ethic." There are no details other than tonight's RAW being a tribute. I'll be watching RAW for the first time in 5 years tonight. Thank you, Mr. Benoit.
  4. Yikes! If I cared at all about this movie, I may have been upset at the spoilers. Ease up Bri, Ni Cage, for me, has become a living joke. To me, the only decent Cage films are Leaving Las Vegas, Bringing Out the Dead, and Lord of War. Everything else is shite. Shite, I tells ya!
  5. Damn you all! Besides Carpenter's Halloween theme, Final Countdown has the bitchingest synth line in music history I tells you! Europe rocks!
  6. Mental note as I listen to this episode: stop saying "yeah"!!! That is all.
  7. Is it really that huge? Seems kind of run-of-the-mill to me. Boring. It was a 21 page fight scene with a pretty cliched ending. Guess we'll have to see how it plays out... It makes me not want to buy the issue out of my pullbox now.
  8. This episode was a blast to record! Another week or two and we'll be doing it all over again! I think I'll have much less to say about the covers this time around.....

    Flash #13

    Is he not, like the others, part of the Speed Force now? I have a hunch that All Flash is an amalgam of Wally, Barry and Bart. Just a hunch. Edit: Whoa! 500th post and it's about Flash?
  10. All of the Marvel panels have New Avengers 31 spoilers?
  11. Brilliant! The pirate thing would not translate well to screen IMO. I still have faith in this. If it is cut to two hours I may watch it reluctantly but if it's kept above the two and a half hour level I'll stick to being anxious for this one.
  12. Best epi yet, methinks. The gripes with the Clock King stuff was dead on. I saw that one recently and I'd have to agree with darn near everything. Mike, if you loved LA Law, you may be interested in an upcoming review of Masters of Horror season 2...
  13. Well that officially drains the steam out of that! I want some Charest interiors!
  14. Good news! Let's hope their competition takes notice and streamlines some of the Bat and Super titles... I may even check it out too. Speculation time: All Flash? Bart disappears into the Speed Force and returns as an amalgam of him, Wally and Barry. That could be cool. Waid's not my cup of tea but I'l check out the special at least. (<------ 52 SPOILER) A little derivative of Exiles but interesting nonetheless. Takes care of the "detritus" issue in Countdoqwn without doing away with three characters with so much potential. How much do you want to bet Grifter and Red Hood square off? Interesting standards the fella had: "Ahem...<pushes glasses up nose>Sorry but if you can't tell me when the first appearance of Gorilla Grodd was then I don't want anything to do with you."
  15. A breather? It's not like you guys put together a 7 hour podcast recently or anything?
  16. Never did I think I would see an adaptation of my favourite horror novel farther away from the source material than Omega Man. I was wrong.

    Countdown

    Yeah, me neither. I just thought there should be a thread about it. I mean, some people can talk about stuff like that for hours and hours. Nope! Not me.
  18. Alan Grant is one of the kindest and classiest men in the biz. I had an extended conversation with him when I lived in Scotland that certainly put me on the right path as far as a future career as a comics writer.

    Countdown

    For those reading DC's Countdown, I thought I would open an official thread. We'll keep discussions of episodes of the show dedicated to the series in the proper thread but any ideas, predictions, thoughts, whatever on the series can be discussed here.
  20. Thanks Sion. And like I said, sexy werewolves next week...

  23. Wow...never knew anyone south of the 49th parallel ever saw that one.
