There goes the Wally West Flash movie I was hoping for. That said, Reynolds might make a good Green Lantern, who knows, I just don't want Deadpool to get canceled because of this.

Wow. Just wow. That may have been the best thing from the Revival of Doctor Who.

I've become convinced that Fox News is actually a parody of a real news network and they just forgot to send the memo to the entirety of humanity about it. Between that and the fact that apparently different ethnic groups are seperate species.

You make me wish I was a little bit more straight.

By the way, I am aware of the irony of proving something is continuity by claiming something else isn't. So don't bother pointing that out.

But in The Batman: Adventures: Lost Years, it explains how those three years in between BTAS and TNBA went for Dick, which didn't have anything about the Teen Titans. Also, in "Flash And Substance", there is the Flash museum showing an item commemorating the race between Superman and the Flash from "Speed Demons", and this was a JLU episode with Wall West as Flash and the museum was dedicated to him. First, the spin-off comics are not considered part of continuity. Secondly, maybe the public just didn't notice a change in Flashes when building the Museum. After all, if Barry retired, I doubt he would have made a press release saying so since it would have put Iris in danger. Wally takes over, some people notice Kid Flash doesn't show up anymore but maybe his evil witch girlfriend made him vanish or something.

Static's a weird one though, he started out definitivly outside the DCAU and ended up inside. When the series starts they know who Clark Kent is! It's because the character started as a Milestone Comic, and it was acquired by DC. Actually, DC printed Milestone from the start. Now, here's an idea. We have a two year gap from the end of BTAS to Gotham Knights. Robin leaves Gotham after graduating College at 19 (so he's still technically a teen, not that anyone really cared in the comics if you were in your 20's and calling yourself a Teen Titan. It's kinda pervy really.), goes to Jump City or whatever the name of the city in Teen Titans is. At about the same time, Superman pops up in Metropolis. The aliens are considered to be just another Supervillian or something. After all, there's that crazy lady in Gotham that controls plants so why not Mad scientists who build Alien Hoaxes? If Doctor Who expects me to believe that the entire world can pretend aliens don't exist despite giant spaceships appearing in the sky then I can expect one city getting barraged by weirdos will fly under the radar. Feeling himself redeemed, Robin politely leaves the Titans, becomes Nightwing (Starfire: But do I no longer give you the boner?) Anyway, Barry Allen is the Flash, races Superman and something happens that makes him retire so his Nephew takes over. A couple of years pass between the end of Superman and Justice League. Afterall, Supergirl clones don't grow themselves over night. Wally is pretty established, Tim has joined the Titans, Dick has left again, possibly to "Make the Whoopee" with Starfire. Really, it all comes down to looking at the Art Style as making most of the characters look younger and having most of the world suffer from Doctor Who plot-mandated obliviousness.

I work at the campus bookstore and during the summer, they have Orientations for the incoming Freshmen which involves them coming into the store and reserving their books for their first quarter. Anyway, I'm helping this slightly geeky looking kid order his books and notice a lot of them are theater textbooks. Me: So, you're a spoony bard I see. Him: I love that game. I just got it for my DS. Me: I remember when I had it for my Super Nes. Him: My older brother had one of those.

That's the way I meant it however, phrasing is key with cover letters so the fact it could have been read either way shows there's room for practice on my part. Cover letters: knowing how to write them is a good thing, even if the slush reader just glances at it for five seconds. THIS. A quick "Please find attached "____________," my _________ submission. It is ___________ words/pages. Thank you in advance for your time. Best, _____________" and a VERY short, UNDERSTATED bio is best. Laundry list bios are a pain in the ass, because they beg to be read, and checked on, and mocked. And by the time the reader gets to the attachment, well, they've already made some snap judgments. Also, DC20: you write/submit? What to where? First day of English 493, Short Story Writing Seminar, my prof passed around a pile of some of the worst offenders from the submissions he'd recieved for the campus lit mag. It came down to a lot of people going into great detail about their life, mentioning all the people you've never heard of they've stdied with. One read like a form letter for a plumbing service. I write short stories mostly, mainly things with some dark humor or just normal humor. I've submitted only a couple of times, still feel that I need to polish my skills a bit more first before I'll feel absolutely confident in sending something in.

Agreed. It looks like the first Sandler movie in awhile I might try to go and see. This might be Sandler's Big, the movie that is funny but also propels the comedic actor above his status as just a comedic actor into just Actor.

There's actually a literary journal that only accepts submissions if you can send five rejection letters alongside your story so there's a reason for keeping those rejection letters. That and once you get published in Best American Short Stories 2010, you can write this people and stick it in their face... and offer them your first story after your previous success.

Well, clicks and page impressions. It's kind of illegal to directly solicit clicks from your site's community...just as illegal as clicking your own ads...or refreshing your own page a whole mess of times... Got it, so none of us will refresh the page 50 times a day or host ad clicking parties where we promise friends pizza for clicking on ads for an hour. Got it. :angel:

I'm putting most of this in spoilers since I know that not everyone has watched the current season of Torchwood so far or even watched series four yet. As I watch Torchwood, I can't help but think one thing: Now, as for tonight's episode,

Commercial For... Something featuring Catwoman, Batgirl, and Wonder Woman in their 60's/70's costumes.

I usually base whether or not I'm going to watch a season off of the first episode. I think this is a skip year.

Agreed. Also, I bought Season 1 on saturday and finished it this evening. I really like how Eccleston did the 9th Doctor and I'm not sure if there's an episode in that series that I dislike. Next up will be Season 2, once I dredge up the funds (I have a degree course starting in a few months that I *should* be saving for, after all). Bah, Tennant is so much more important.

My bad.

The character's name is Static. I know that The Character That Shall Not Be Named has ruined Cree Summers for you, Mike and James, but don't let one shitty role crush all expectations. She really is a talented voice actress who in this case was a victim of doing the voice for a character that was as annoying as all hell. Let's not forget that even good actors do the bad roles on occasion i.e. Meryl Streep did She-Devil with Roseanne Barr. Also, if it's any consolation, unlike TCTSNBN, Richie starts out on a good foot with you and doesn't really become all that annoying, especially from the third season on.

Nice.

I really want to know if someone was looking for tips on playing Paper Mario on the Gamecube in the nude or for a nude code for Paper Mario for the Game Cube.

Still don't mind as long as it's nothing flashing that I'm the 999,999,999th visitor and I won a free scam.

Ditto. Banner ads are a small price to pay for giving us all a way to waste time.

Rob Liefeld on Shatterstar's Outing: First off, I hate it when people cover up homophobic remarks with "I have gay family but..." If anything, it just shows that you should know better and realize that what you're saying might be considered hurtful by a person in the community. Hell, prefacing the comment with that is just giving a red light to anyone reading it that what's to come is potentially offensive. However, over all, I'd say this has more to do with Liefeld's ego. I get that he co-created the character but, quite frankly, he worked on him for about a handful of Shatterstar's appearances. Liefeld is really more annoyed that someone is doing something interesting with a character he created that doesn't involve crotches flying into people's faces and women who exist to be nymphos and walking busts. That's the danger of working in the comic book industry that even readers can recognize: you don't own the characters. Even if you created it, once you cease writing, you don't control it anymore. I know that's part of the reason that Liefeld left Marvel to begin with so, I'd expect him to realize of all people that this is out of his hands and bitching about it isn't going to change that. If something is really unpopular, then it will probably get retconned but when it's something that people have been waiting for for years like this thing with Shatterstar, it's likely to stick. I can't remember a time I haven't thought that Shatterstar was a fan of Cher. On a side note, don't mix your references. If he's like Maximus in Gladiator, obviously he can't also be a Spartan. Spartans are from a completely different area, culturally and regionally, from Rome. Please, do your research. It's not that hard.
