July 21, 2008 - 2:31 p.m.NiteFly just commented on 's blog - Have you seen the Watchmen trailer?
I was worried when I saw the pictures of the costumes, however seeing the trailer at the batman premier (and then a few times again after getting home) I am extremely excited about the possibilities here.

Although he's a bit old, I think Chris O'Donnell would be an absolutely smashing side-kick to the dark knight. I don't really know if the current style of costume would suit him, though. I'm thinking something more along the lines of rubber muscles, and perhaps a little more nipple and codpiece.

iPhone 2.0 update out today.
For any of you that don't currently have and iPhone, now is the time to buy. It was a worthwhile investment for me before the custom applications were available. Now it is absolutely a killer device. Just upgraded this morning. Had some brief problems upgrading software, but they soon fixed themselves. If you have one and have not yet upgraded, I would advise you to wait a couple of days (if you can) because their servers are absolutely getting slammed. Otherwise the free applications available from itunes absolutely kick ass.

How can it be worse?" He finds out he has a son with Perry

From your thread:
zero edge said: "thread's already bee made in the right forum."
My emphasis added. Did you not even read his reasoning for locking yours? Don't take things so personally.
More on topic, though, I'd actually be really curious to see what a Millar film interpretation of the man of steel would look like.

June 25, 2008 - 7:46 a.m.NiteFly just commented on 's blog - Big fan of unbreakable, not looking forward to hancock.
The first time I even heard of Unbreakable was when I found it at a yard sale shortly after coming out on DVD for a buck. Still one of my favorite movies period. For me most of Shyamalan's movies have fallen short of my expectations, possibly due to the fact that Unbreakable was so absolutely rock solid. I don't know if I entirely agree about Hancock, but after seeing the previews it looks like all it is good for will probably be a few cheap laughs.

What in the blue hell, would Hulk do to defeat Eternity/Infinity, Galactus, Living Tribunal, or Spectre?? Or said another way, how would he defeat beings who could cause him to cease to exist just by thinking about it?
Answer:
Thinking the Hulk out of existence would obviously only enrage him to a point he has never been before. He would get so pissed that he would pummel himself back into existence, then proceed to get more and more angry so that he will grow as large as any such opponent. How could he possible grow bigger than an entity such as any of the previously mentioned (some of which size is not even a real aspect of their being), you ask? Simple: Hulk will continue punching himself into existence every time they destroy him, and then punch himself in the face (and balls, naturally) to make himself angry enough to expand to the point where he, quite literally, becomes reality as we know it. At that point it is a simple matter of punching any such omnipotent opponent until they admit that they don't exist creating a paradox and imploding all reality. Then, since there is nothing left, Hulk can punch himself back into existence (in both the face and balls again, of course) which would create a big bang fashioning the universe in his own image. You thought Planet Hulk was a good read? Try Reality: Hulk. Hulk punches his own balls and face until he quite literally becomes Eternity, Infinity, the Living Tribunal, God, and most importantly Gnort.

This post relates to: What do you think of the Comic Vine redesign?
I wanted to wait a little while before answering. I have had the time to look around and play with the various features. Also at this point many of the bugs are worked out to the point where things are running much faster than when 2.0 was first launched (understandably).At least one person has used the word "streamlined" to describe the new look and feel, and I wholeheartedly agree. Everything feels new, shiny, and smooth. I find that the new interface will make working on the encyclopedia much faster and much more pleasing. I can't say enough how spectacular you guys have done on the relaunch. I hope that we continue to see more awesome features in the future.

Just finished the last of my grading today. Boy that feels good. The entire summer is on the horizon and all I have to do is research until the fall.

Thanks guys. Hope you're enjoying it too Buckshot. Hope the house hunting goes well Blue Shield. I said the summer was on the horizon, not here, Aztek ;)
This post is not intended for viewers who detest violent imagery. Reader discretion is advised.
Aaah, spring. That magical time again. Classes are in session. The campus is beautiful, weather some times sunny, but mostly spring showers. Getting to wear a light jacket again. Strolling to my classes, getting to see dozens of pictures of dead fetuses during a protest.
Yup, that last line is certainly correct. Why is it that people go to college and instantly become stupider just by setting foot on the campus? I have had more of my fill of whining 18 year old children that, for the first time out of mommy and daddy's basement, decide that they are going to adopt every damned cause they come across and, damn it, they are going to make a difference!
You know, I don't particularly mind people having issues to stand up for. I have a few myself. (Please, ask me about the FairTax sometime.) What bothers me is when people take their respective issues at heart. Believing in a cause is one thing. Helping a cause is another. Both are great. I do, however, find resorting to shock tactics deplorable. These people seem to come around every spring intending to shock the youth of America into being as appalled by abortion as they are.
Please don't bother to comment one way or the other about your stance on abortion. Know that I simply do not care, because that is not the point, and have enough respect for me not to make my blog your personal soapbox. The point is that shocking people only for shock value's sake doesn't get you anywhere. I am automatically inclined not to take your cause seriously. Playing on a person's primal emotions (fear, disgust) to prove your point is cheap, and will only win over the weak of mind (i.e. mr. freshman says with a thoughtful expression: Why, I had no idea how horrible this world of mine is!).
I am at school for a reason. If someone wants to engage me in intellectual discourse about virtually anything I'm going to be game. Particularly if they throw in a cup of coffee or tea : ). I just find having my delicate sensibilities deliberately offended and assaulted in public by these tofu loving degenerates (no offense to those who like tofu, and yes they are delicate) to be a step over the line. There comes a point where you begin to step over that "free speech" line and begin playing "I'm not touching you!" like some idiot six year old child.
These people belong in a special circle of Hell. Right along side of those people that like to compare KFC's "murdering" chickens to the Holocaust.

I agree with you man 100% if u believe in something that is great for you, but i am not you.
Respect bro
Well, I just turned in a rather hastily put-together application packet for a ~20k fellowship for next year. I don't know if there is much chance of me actually getting this thing, but wish me luck!
Later the same day:
Boy do I need a nap. As I said, this would really be nice. Where I live the newly elected governor announced a bunch of big budget cuts in state funded higher education. Why raise taxes when you can just force students to pay more? I'm sure I can expect my tuition to go up next year, and for my pay rate (most likely) not to go up.
There will be more for me to apply to. I just hope that I get one of them.

Good luck man
I'm pretty worried about what Ill do with my scholarship..and Im only in 9th grade...
Thanks, guys. I'm hopeful, but not very optimistic. I am the only person from my department who submitted an application pack, but this particular fellowship was being offered to three different departments.
@Resonate - I know you probably hear this all the time, but just work hard in school to get good grades, turn in as many scholarship/fellowship applications you can your junior and senior year (you wouldn't believe how many of those things are never even given out because no one applies to them), and try out for every scholarship you can in the colleges you go to. At the school that I did my undergrad they had a scholarship for a full ride, room and board, and a stipend. They only gave out like one a year, but just for trying out for it (it involved an interview and stuff) you got a pretty good scholarship offer.

I was a bit disturbed at the thought of bringing Beast back. I was surprised that while the explanation for his return was rather simple, I found it to be quite convincing and effective. Other than that the issue tended to be a bit choppy. Very little time was spent on any one character or group, but it remained readable despite this. I was especially pleased with the prison scene. Having Mystique in Magneto's Place is a logical and expected move on Magneto's part. Having Mastermind there is just awesome since he can do absolutely anything he wants without worrying about staying in character. Worth the read if you like ultimate X-Men. |

Kind of leaves something to be desired as far as I'm concerned. Don't get me wrong the artwork was great, and I'm not saying that the writing is intrinsically terrible, however it is only a re-telling (and not a particularly imaginative one) of a story we all know by heart by now. If nothing else is really going to be added is it really necessary to write this story again? I don't really see the point. What I found particularly disturbing is that the classic and particularly poignant line originally penned by Stan Lee: "With great power comes great responsibility" was seemingly dumbed down into the more watered down: "If you have power, then you have responsibility." Everything considered I would say that Mythos: Spider-Man is kind of a waste of time unless you happen to have never heard of Spider-Man before. |
