Nostalgia Chick: Babysitters Club Yeah, I admit, I read them and this is all so true.

So I was bored and had a new episode of Simpsons on.
Maggie talked.
MAGGIE TALKED.
FUCK. THIS. SHIT.
To be fair, it was an anthology episode, not a normal one. The same episode has Homer as a classical actor in Macbeth, Selma as Elizabeth 1, and Lisa as Snow White. It's out of continuity so it worked.

Yeah, it was a pretty good episode also. Captain Fanzone is one of my favorite characters in that, he is a good representative of how most normal people would react to giant robots. No awe, and they're amazing. No irrational hatred for the sake of hatred. He has a genuine beef with all these machines and, yeah, it's probably not going to change but he also knows they can be useful. Sentinel Prime is, meanwhile, still the character I want to see shoved out into space. He's very lawful neutral and, yes, he kinda means well, but he's more about the law then the occasional need to put the people in front of the law.I think my favorite part of Decepticon Air is that someone finally had an actual reason for having Hammer Space (Transwarp pocket in my stomach.) That kinda made me laugh. All in all, looking forward to next week, hopefully it will rock and, if this is the end, hopefully we finally get a reason for Sari's continued existence.yeah I think we will and since her "growing" up or upgrade she's not as annoying anymore at least not to me. Did you watch This is Why i Hate Machines?
Oh, and the expression on Lugnut's face at Shockwave being called Megatron's most loyal subject? Priceless and I hope it goes somewhere.

That has to be unintentional... right?
I dunno. Imagine you work at Archie Comics where humor seems to be mired permanently in the 50's. Wouldn't you sneak in stuff like that to keep your sanity in check? Hell, if I worked for Archie, I would write an entire comic that features nothing but Betty about how her friend Sanchez never cleans himself and Archie is having trouble with his job fixing Veronica's rims.

I really enjoyed the movie. While it did give me some headaches as a fan of Star Trek, it also felt true to the spirit of Star Trek and I was impressed.
However, I do kinda feel crappy that Abrams decided to reboot continuity. Since Vulcan got destroyed and there are only about 10,000 vulcans left, any number of Vulcan characters important to the continuity are now in limbo. Mind you, I also kinda like that was the only way to go in the long run of the movies. If they do a new series at any time, then they can just say that the new timeline is just divergent rather than replacing the old one.

Multiversity
in DC
Comic Book Resources has an interview with Grant Morrison about Multiversity.
I am kinda even more psyched. Morrison confirmed Earth 10 (Freedom Fighters vs Nazi-JLA), Earth 20 (Pulp Fiction Earth), and an unnumbered Earth featuring some of the characters introduced in the nineties. Connor Hawke was put as an example. There's also an Earth-Prime story planned.

I'm a little more confident in knowing that they're not going the easy route for the movie of doing just another action movie. I personally hope for a movie where Deadpool has conversations with the audience and maybe they can throw Squirrel Girl in as the love interest. The potential is a send-up of the entire genre, much better than Superhero Movie (not that's all that hard.)

The real question is what will Bas fo now that she can walk?
The batwoman mantle has already been taken, will she still be Oracle?
Thank you for pinning down the other problem I have with Barbara Gordon becoming Batgirl again. Babs has proven herself to be an adult, a woman. She led a team already in addition to being a member of the Justice League. Still being called Batgirl would be an insult to the maturity she has gained. It's also the reason why Powergirl should just become Powerwoman or something along those line. Having "girl", "boy", "lad", or "lass" or any other such s part as your name is only allowable if you are in the Legion or a sidekick. If you have grown up as a character. going back to the old is just asinine (see Beast Boy becoming Changeling and then going back to Beast Boy at during the most reboot of Teen Titans.) The only way that Babs should be allowed to become Batgirl again is if she has a team of Batgirls carrying the mantle with her as Batgirl Commander.

According to the article, it's the arcade version.
Doy. Helps if I read the article. I was so happy to hear the news that I skipped past that part.

Just started on Ouran High School Host Club. It's alright until I find something that interests me more. Might make another attempt to get into Bleach. It's just that there are so many episodes to get through.

Don't you hate it when collected editions don't seperate the issues with the covers and stick them all in the back?
I personally am more annoyed that both Amazon and DcCs website give no indication of where a trade falls in order. I figured it out eventually but then there are those two issues that no trade is collecting so I have to track them down next time I'm at the comic book store. Why wouldn't you collect the issues that introduce the Alpha Lanterns?

I'm going to rent the Muppet Movie tonight or History of the World Part 1 to make me feel better.

One of the flaws I noticed was in the Morlocks episode. After Analee loses control of Jean, she runs off screen. Her running consists of her making a running motion and then suddenly disappearing. Embaressingly enough, it's repeated in the previously segment in the following episode.
I forgot how in a lot of the early episodes, you can almost start a "Storm gets affected by her claustrophobia" count. It seems like if Storm was in an episode, something was falling on her and making her go mad.
-
Nw the question is, is this a remake of the Arcade Version or the Snes version? In either case, yeah but kinda hoping for Snes since it was a bigger game.
-
I went to two shops also. The first one just gave you a pre-bundled bag so you didn't even know what you were getting until you opened it. Lame. My usual store let you pick any five so I filled in the holes that the other one left me with. At least I got Blackest Night #0 and am so freaking psyched!
-
I do not, not, NOT want it to be Babs. If it is, then I will be disappointed. Oracle can do so much more for the super-hero community than Batgirl ever can. This has already been established in an issue of Booster Gold (Number 6 of the new series I believe). I personally think it's going to be either The Calculator's Daughter, Wendy or Cassandra Cain. Wendy would make more sense since she is currently appearing in the Oracle mini-series and if this new Batgirl spins out of there, it would only make sense that it be Babs or Wendy. So, Wendy, hopefully the new Batgirl and then kicking that Wonderdog in the face with Batarangs.

Zeta is 26 episodes, 1 2-parter in there so 25 stories.
-
Dumbass!
(Note: The above is not a reply)
I remember watching Zeta last night before the listening to the podcast and remembering, "Oh my God, It's Red Foreman." I do expect the Weather Wizard to call Zeta a dumbass eventually.
BTW, looking forward to the comics reviews. I bought the complete run of The Batman Adventures at a con a few weeks back so I'm excited that I have a reason to read them other than that they are kinda awesome.

...wow...

How's everyone planning on spending Free Comic Book Day? I'm looking to by to my local store by an hour before open so I can be sure to get the Green Lantern book. My store is also running a few sales so I'll probably pick up a few back issues that I've been looking for as well.

This won't be the first attempt at a sequel. Way back in the early nineties, a film by the name of Who Discovered Roger Rabbit was being talked about. It never happened obviously. Wiki has a bit about it. I would personally be interested in that treatment. Any treatment would rock. I still maintain a straight crush on Jessica Rabbit to this very day.

Marie Antoinette and Moulin Rouge.
They're both exceedingly pretty, one has a good soundtrack, the other is just made of crack, and both make wonderful drinking games.
Funny story, we tried to do a drinking game for Moulin Rouge once. Someone had the bright idea of drinking everytime there was an edit. Yeah, there are some ideas that sound good when they're proposed. This wasn't even one of those.

With the exception of the rape scene, I have seen Showgirls and enjoyed it so many times. It's a terrible movie but the "dancing" and "acting" is just so terrible that it has become a comedy. It's even better if you watch it on TV. You lose Elizabeth Berkley's impersonation of a wave machine but you get digital bikini's that don't always move with the actress. The most astounding part of the movie is that it's a remake of one of my favorite movies of all time All About Eve.
The same goes for Troll 2. It's a movie about a bunch of vegetarian goblins (there are no trolls in the movie) who turn people into plants so they can eat them. How is that not genius!

Read the Gay Agenda article. I agree, the show may have a so called "Gay Agenda" but it's nothing out of the ordinary. It's the 21st century, big whoop. Having gay characters is completely normal, it's not as if no one before 1950 was gay. Besides, it's Captain Jack. Who wouldn't want him?
I envy being in your shoes again. Season 4 is my favorite season overall. Catherine Tate's Donna Noble really grows as a character. She's a lot less shrill and, to tell you the truth, my favorite companion of the new series, mainly because she's not going to fall in love with the Doctor like Rose or Martha. Won't say any more so as not to spoil it for you but it really is a terrific season. I do recommend watching the first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures and second season of Torchwood first since both have slight spoilers later on during the season.
