Whatever happened to dead being dead? Seriously, fuck this. One of the best ideas they had in a long time was that recentplan of 'Dead means dead.' I don't want to see them pulling some Hulk Hogan retirement deal, and coming back after six issues. It messes up the continuity, and I find it disrespectful towards the readers. Plus, it lessens the impact of the death. And I will comment soon on Chris Claremont attempting to completely re-write everything Grant Morrison did. Seriously, what happened there? Was there an executive decision to fuck up all the progressive things Morrison brought to the formula?

Wicker Man Rocky Horror Picture Show Withnail and I - If you haven't already, see it, and understand why Monty is a cunt. Casablanca Dracula (Christopher Lee version) Interview with the Vampire Chasing Amy Night of the Living Dead The Omen Halloween The Princess Bride The Commitments (Mustand, Sally!) Being John Malkovich The Life of Brian Dangerous Liaisons Ten Things I Hate About You - I will hear nothing against Julia Stiles. Razor Blade Smile - Low budget erotic horror film from Britain. Fucking awesome movie.

Guys, guys, guys - you're missing the point of a message board. Don't just say you think he's a cunt. Tell us why. In excruciating detail. It's hatred of Ultra. he deserves it.

What always pissed me off about Magnus was that they were told the matrix would 'light their darkest hour'. So what does Magnus take to be their darkest hour? When HE'S about to get killed. Dumbfuck. Hell, the autobots had had seven darker hours that week alone.

A story about the second coming. It's a three parter by Mark (Ultimate X-Men) Millar. Just finished, and should still be available. Go read it. Best thing I've read in a long time. Whatever you do, DO NOT skip to the end.

Never did answer this..... Hmmm. Clover, from Blue Monday. Catwoman, and psylocke, i think. Oh, and Monet from Generation X. I like an intellectual challenge as well.

Taking a wild stab in the dark here.....is Chris Claremont behind this?

Finally got round to reading this, and went straight through the archive in one sitting. Very, very funny stuff. Horny Mom may be my favourite, although the adventures of bukakke girl, followed by the 'and that's where you come from' line was inspired.

I've been chatting to Chynna Clugston Major for a while (she of Scooter Girl, Blue Monday, and that issue of Ultimate Team up set in a mall). Blue Monday is about a group of teenagers growing up. Kind of like Breakfast Club only funnier. The latest issue is all about masturbation, and is seriously funny. However, she was lookiing for as many nicknames for female masturbation as possible. So naturally, she asked me. Which is why, in this issue, one of the girls refers to 'doing the kit-kat shuffle.' I thank you. EDIT I'm really not sure why I put this into Marvel. I need sleep.

The black magic of voodoo sorcerers allegedly consists of various poisons (perhaps that of the puffer fish) which immobilize a person for days, as well as hallucinogens administered upon revival. The result is a brain damaged creature used by the sorcerers as slaves, viz., the zombies. Credit to skepdic.com. Dates back long before the more recent concept of Zombies, which was a kind of bastardisation of the vampire myth.

There's a large group of people who disagree with you. They claim it isn't a zombie picture because 01. they weren't dead (just infected), and 02. they ran. Yeah, but that large group are dicks. Are they mindless? Do they want to kill me? Were they normal humans before? Can I become one of them if they succeed in attacking me? Then they're zombies. Lose the word 'infected' - that's just a story prop. It is, essentially, a zombie movie, and a conventional one at that, other than the running thing. And you know what? That's not a bad thing. There's been some great films and novels about zombies - I am Legend, although vampires, follows Zombie conventions more. Also bear in mind, originally, zombies weren't dead - that came in with Zombie movies. Originally, they were mind-wiped slaves.

HOT HOT CUM IN YOUR PANTS. Capitals are a must. I'll remember that for next time, which will probably be right after I read this book. Should be. Put it this way - this was my thought process for the first six pages or so: 'Who's that? Who's that? Hawkeye! Cool! Who's that? She-Hulk! Cool, Bendis Dialogue rocks. Who's that? Oh, it doesn't matter, he/she just died suddenly! Wow! Cool!'

See, I didn't like 28 days later for a couple of reasons: 1 - same directing group as did 'Trainspotting' and 'Shallow Grave'. This should have been better. 2 - The po-facedness of Danny Boyle repeatedly saying 'It's not a zombie movie. it has nothing in common with Zombie movies. This is a psychological horror story about humanity'. Bollocks. Sheer bollocks. It was a zombie movie. They just ran. That's ALL. 3 - Christopher Eccleston doing the worst acting I've ever seen him do, and he rocks, so that was a disappointment. 4 - Moral of the story? Zombies are bad, but not as bad as soldiers! Every soldier is a potential rapist! And generally, needed to be better than any zombie movie made before, and it really wasn't. Luckily, the Dawn of the Dead remake blew it out of the water, as did Shawn of the Dead.

After reading it (and this is the first issue of Avengers I've EVER read): Wow. Just.....wow. An insane amount of stuff happened in this issue, and I marked out big time.

Can't recall if I've seen that one. Don't worry, nobody else did. Six was the absolute drizzling shits. Michael Myers works best when he's human, but he's got something about him. We don't know what, but something. As he was portrayed in numbers one, two and seven - funnily enough, the best of the series.

I'm actually a huge fan of New Nightmare. I think they managed to convey Freddy crossing into the real world well, and the direction was good. Plus, it had that awesome moment of Heather Lagenkamps son singing the Freddy song, having never seen the movie. Plus, when I first watched it ...in the middle of the night....in the middle of the countryside in Ireland....on my own....there's a scene where the clock strikes midnight...and the clock next to me...at the same moment, struck midnight. Scared the shit out of me.

Bendis said that he's been offered to take over Avengers as of issue 500, and to completely revamp it. While he does a lot of titles, he takes pride in the fact that they're all very different, so he doesn't want to do two team books. So he stepped down, and apologised for renaming Doom 'Von Damme'.... And according to Bendis, Millar backed down because he's a copycat.

According to the letters page, Warren Ellis takes over writing Ultimate Fantastic Four as of next issue. Warren Ellis is God. Discuss.

Surely the whole point was the Joker and Batman are more similar than they'd care to admit? That, in his own way, Batman is just as insane as The Joker. The main continuaty bits went into the stories - Barbaragets crippled - but the rest, to me, reads as a complete one off. Plus, note the awesome visual point - carried over from Watchmen - of each scene leading into the next, visually. Batmans completely off his fucking NUT. That's why I love the story.

Both of these came out at a similar time, and both are by two of the best known names in the industry, Alan Moore for TKJ and Frank Miller for TDKR. Which do you think is better? I'll add my thoughts on this later. I'm just curious for your opinion.

They haven't confirmed. I believe that Russel T Davies (the new writer) HATES the Paul McGann movie - according to a line from Queer as folk - but he takes it seriously enough that the novels that spun off from the movie will probably be part of the 'gospel'. Here is a link to some free web episodes. Check out the stories, including the Richard E Grant one.

Do you know much about Dr Who? British Sci-Fi series that ran for 25 years, and has been cancelled since then. It's recently been confirmed that they are making a new series, and there's exciting news. They've cast Chris Eccleston (Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later) as The Doctor....my personal choice would have been Anthony Stewart Head, but this is a damn good choice nonetheless...and it's being overseen by the guy who created 'Queer as Folk', which was an awesome show. Are people interested in this? Do you know anything about it?

Anyone else read this yet?

Preludes and Nocturnes? I agree with you on the ownage bit....but personally, I found P and N to be the weakest arc of the whole thing...it was only with the last issue (the first Death issue) that Gaiman really got into his groove. Personally, I'd say the best arc is The Kindly Ones, and the best one off being Ramadan.

Deliberate choice, leaving Watchmen off, because it would have won - plus, I have a couple more polls coming soon, one of which that centres in, along with TDKR.
