I'm always amused by people who want a comic book to fail or get cancelled simply because they don't like a certain character.
Why rob someone else of joy or wish that on them?

It's childish.

Gate-keeping creators off of characters some don't like is equally ridic. The term " such and such is wasted on that character" is laughable. I mean shouldn't a creator bored with writing or drawing Wolverine, Iron man, Spider Man and Hulk stories be allowed to play left of center-field?

Where are these Cokes?

Pending. How was Birmingham (or whutsitshire) Con?

Next to the beer.

[Clarkie]

mmm, beer, good idea.

Some comic book readers act like they own the characters.
It's silly.

I KNEW IT. I knew I'd see you around here sooner or later.

I've just realised what your avatar is Signor Garters, no way is that getting my vote.

Fair enough. I figured somebody had to be a fan of those movies. I actually didn't hate the first one, though K really did, which is why we haven't gotten around to seeing the second one.

I saw the 2nd one with friends who refuse to pay for 3D, and I HATED it.

then, when Nick wanted to go (and he likes all the bells and whistles, so we saw it in IMAX 3D)?. . . I got what all the critics were saying.

easily a 3star film. . IF you see it in IMAX 3D.. otherwise?. . it doesn't work, and the sets look terrible.

Huh. I could see that. We're not really fans of 3D movies because of the headaches that come along with them. But I totally buy that it's a completely different experience.

[Clarkie]

As I've said before, I'm not capable of reasoned, objective, criticism of those films, I'd watch 3 hours of Hobbits in the pub. I love seeing that world realised.

I just re-watched Near Dark yesterday.

A partly good looking film, but so bad. I just couldn't deal.

I figure Condorman's the same way. I remember it being pretty bad despite lovely Europe, Mancini, and Carrera. I don't think I could take it today.

I watched it on FEARnet On Demand awhile ago but don't think I actually finished it. Adrian Pasdar looked so young.

With the amount of Horror Movies I have watched over the years, it might as well be Oscar material.
This is what I get for being raised on Full Moon and Troma films.

My tolerance for schlock is pretty high. Love Troma and Herschell Gordon Lewis movies.

We will convert you! One of us!

Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble!

Fan entitlement isn't exclusive to comic book readers but it's some of the strongest I've ever seen. Sports fans can be pretty bad as well.

I've heard it said that Avatar was the technical pinnacle of epic 3D movie-making (so far). And, having seen it, I can pretty much agree. Gorgeous.

And it was an absolutely crap movie, otherwise.

[Paul W.]

Oh, and everyone should see Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat. Nice little gem, there.

[Mormel]

Little bit morbid, but I saw this little feller lying dead on the doorstep at work:



We call it a 'St. Jacob's butterfly' over here, but the common English name is cinnabar moth. Birds avoid it because it stores a fair amount of poison inside its body.
