RITA's CIV: To Me, Fair Friend, You Never Can Be Old

[Paradox]

Michael P has a yen:

She's not known for those types of roles, but I find her sexy, and it doesn't hurt to try and branch out.

She can be cute when she smiles, but mostly she's a stick with a default bitchy expression. She'd look absolutely ridiculous in skin-tights.

[o1pickleboy]

Make sure he buys you a ring.

And don't buy any of his "it was my evil twin from the future" excuses.

I dread the wedding night.

[o1pickleboy]

Here is a awful thought and question.

If Rita's get closed again what offtopic chat thread would you migrate too?

X-Cres
YABS Lounge
Downtime Khazan

[StarsAndGarters]

Here is a awful thought and question.

X-Cres
YABS Lounge
Downtime Kazaa

Again? When did that occur?

[DoctorDoom]

I am going with Cable
As long as it's not Deadpool...

[Paradox]

I wouldn't. I'd just do what I could to turn EVERY Comm thread into an off-topic thread. :evilsmile:

Wait...I kind of do that now!

[o1pickleboy]

Again? When did that occur?

didn't happen just a thought

[Ronald Bryan]

Here is a awful thought and question.

X-Cres

We would migrate to every other Community thread and spam the whole board.

[Paradox]

Actually, it did. It was just years and years ago. About 6-7 I think.

[DoctorDoom]

Here is a awful thought and question.

Falsies and a leather cat-suit.

it would have to be Siren or Big Bertha on the cover for it to be him

[o1pickleboy]

I know but all chat thread were taken out right? or did x-cres survive that one

[DoctorDoom]

I don't know when you stopped reading, but you probably haven't missed much.

Or maybe too much. Heard it has a problem with anal continuity or something.

Anyway, last time i read, Aylee was evil.




Now I have Digital Underground in my head.
Not necessarily a bad thing.

The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the Hump.

[Dreadstar]

I have met the enemy and he is me.

[Ronald Bryan]

There was the time X-Cres got taken out. It became scary, as they migrated here and started their own gay bar.

[DoctorDoom]

It would be nice if it were Siryn on Domino's face...

[Tadhg]

Did you just get handed a project that past-you completely botched too?

[o1pickleboy]

Really I always figured you for a X-Cres kind of poster.

Are you sure you don't think Beast and Iceman are gay?

[Paradox]

jessecuster3 shouldn't think this is new:

Oh you poor, pathetic Michiganders, part 2.


In what might be considered a new low for the housing market, a home in Detroit sold for $1.

The home, located at 8111 Traverse Street, close to the Detroit City Airport, was foreclosed upon last summer, after it was purchased for $65,000 in 2006, according to an article in The Detroit News.

The bank was so eager to sell the foreclosed property, it lowered the price to $1 in a final attempt to find a buyer. According to the newspaper, 14 days after the property was listed for $1, a local woman purchased the house as “an investment property." The property taxes will run the new owner $3,900, in 2009.

At the time of sale, the home had been stripped of its siding, fence, light fixtures, copper plumbing—even the kitchen sink had been taken. Boards that were used to board up the windows were also stolen and used to board up a house down the street, according to The Detroit News.

Ha! To be honest, that could have been a Detroit story any time in the last 40 years and one wouldn't have noticed.

[Dreadstar]

There was the time X-Cres got taken out. It became scary, as they migrated here and started their own gay bar.

Oh, shit. that explains all those "bear" comments I was getting.

[o1pickleboy]

It would be nice if it were Siryn on Domino's face...

I am so glad you didn't didn't say any of the other options

[Puma]

There was the time X-Cres got taken out. It became scary, as they migrated here and started their own gay bar.

Hey! We weren't all gay.

[Ronald Bryan]

Really I always figured you for a X-Cres kind of poster.

Are you sure you don't think Beast and Iceman are gay?
How dare you! Beast should always be with Trish Tilby. Damn that Agent Brand! Damn her!

[Dreadstar]

Did you just get handed a project that past-you completely botched too?

No. I was just handed a double tequila and I didn't refuse.

[Paradox]

Tadhg wants to fake it:

Falsies and a leather cat-suit.

Yeah, that'd be a good look for a totally curve-less woman. :tongue:

any clue why they didn't go to YABS seems like it would be a better fit

[Athena Bast]

Fine. The occasional nights of steamy passion, then.

I'm sorry but you have to know I was his first set of boobs so I'm having a little trouble not laughing.

[Tadhg]

No. I was just handed a double tequila and I didn't refuse.

Well when you drink yourself into oblivion, can you look up past-me and kick him in the nads? Thanks.

[Puma]

Because it wasn't quite the bathhouse it is now.

o1pickleboy is a time of the signs:

I remember my first set of boobs. They belonged to a 14 year old with an IQ approximately her body temperature...

[o1pickleboy]

Hey! We weren't all gay.

but all of you do like the boys


How dare you! Beast should always be with Trish Tilby. Damn that Agent Brand! Damn her!

On the wagon and now off?

[Dreadstar]

I did that already. Who do you think bought me the tequila?

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

any clue why they didn't go to YABS seems like it would be a better fit

I dunno. There seems to be an influx of lesbianism at YABS at the moment. Not saying that is bad, mind you.

To answer your previous question, pickle, I would most likely leave for a while and go back to the familiar pastures that are my friend's smaller boards.

[Dreadstar]

On the wagon and now off?

I have no idea where the wagon is. Never have.

[Athena Bast]

Doom, why does it seem that Olbermann gets so many days off? I tune in from time-to-time and dude has someone filling in for him.

When I was younger and wanted to watch Johnny Carson, Jay Leno was always filling in for him. The only Tonight Show I saw with Johnny Carson was his last show.

[StarsAndGarters]

I wouldn't. I'd just do what I could to turn EVERY Comm thread into an off-topic thread. :evilsmile:

Wait...I kind of do that now!

Your like aa national guardsman of distraction. Constant vigilance!


Hey! We weren't all gay.

Thank you.


How dare you! Beast should always be with Trish Tilby. Damn that Agent Brand! Damn her!

Trish was horrible for him. Never appreciated him.


Tigra

NO.

[DoctorDoom]

I know, I could have sworn it was at least 15 hours. I do know there is one that's close to an hour.



Nope.



*cough*male*cough*


Hey now! I like guys!

[o1pickleboy]

Did YABS even exist back then?

I see posts going back to 2005 and that about the time Rita's returned because i was here for that


I have no idea where the wagon is. Never have.

Parked at my house I am sitting on top of it.

[Ronald Bryan]

Did YABS even exist back then?
It did, but it was still for her column and was her show, not a mini comm board as it's become.

[DoctorDoom]

I'm sorry but you have to know I was his first set of boobs so I'm having a little trouble not laughing.
Okay okay.. a hot night of trvial pursuit!

Or Simon Williams.
I hate to get all X-Cres, but they've seemed like a fairly logical and natural couple for years now.

Fisher Price should seriously market this.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Yeah, I had a REAL low threshold for that sort of nonsense yesterday.
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm just sorry it ended so soon.


I do like that one interview can make some worry. He's not even confirmed for the book ....but yet.... the fear is there. Because he's gonna BURN THAT SUM BITCH TO THE GROUND ! :tongue:



I've seriously only seen that stuff in regard to comic books. I have never encountered it before and I find stuff like that fascinating. As you said, however, it unfortunately ended too soon.
.

Ohh well it happens all the time. You would have gotten a kick outta Chuck Austen back in the day.





You don't get to complain, TNA lover! :tongue:

Hey TNA just had a good PPV. Even with HULKAMANIA running wild there soon , TNA had a pretty solid PPV from the news online I read.


I like the one that states that "Everyone who likes that guy that I don't understand is only pretending to like him to seem clever or cool".

Thats pretty funny. I never got that reason. If I like a creator , popular or not ...its because the work they did made me a fan.


I'm not that shocked.

Last time I've seen him was at a Rudy Giuliani party, during his failed campaign for President. He ripped on Al Gore a lot in his opener.
.

Ohh yeah and Vince McMahon is a huge Republican backer. Its said that leading up to the Election in 2008 , everyone knew better to wear a Barack Obama pin or even discuss him in the WWE offices. Kevin Dunn (producer) wore a John McCain pin showing support and Vince was very happy for that.

So I can see why Dennis Miller as a Republican is there.

[Dreadstar]

God, the combined sparkles and rainbows and passive-aggressiveness would be enough to make people vomit.

You're just jealous.

[Pól Rua]

Okay okay.. a hot night of trvial pursuit!
Hardly trivial.

Though he will be very happy when he gets that piece of pie he's been after.

[Athena Bast]

P.S. I think this is hilarious:

http://www.carriefisher.bigcartel.com/product/wishful-drinking-tshirts

Her book is in stores now and she's got a one woman play about it. She talks about how she's in textbooks for manic depression and the picture they use of her is a Princess Leia promo shot.

[Pól Rua]

When I originally saw Avengers Two: Wonder Man and The Beast, I figured that it was finally happening.

I hope it never does.
It's like when DC finally copped to Apollo and Midnight being a couple, they went from a pretty good portrayal of a genuinely loving gay couple into a pair of ridiculous stereotypes.

I hate to get all X-Cres, but they've seemed like a fairly logical and natural couple for years now.

I could live with that. Although it's really been years since they even interacted at all. Which is enough of a reason for Beast to get out of the X-Books, among many others.


So I can see why Dennis Miller as a Republican is there.

When did that happen? Have I not been paying enough attention all this time? Maybe I just never understood enough of his obscure references.

Ah. Just looked at his bio. Sounds like a real winner.

[Royal]

He seems a bit... yellow to play Thor.

They've got him as Hogun the Grim. Probably basing it off his work on the Gengis Kahn biopic he did.

Dunno why though. He speaks english. He can easily pull off Fandral.

[Tadhg]

I really don't get Longshot.

Well, he really shouldn't be a mutant or attached to the X-verse, or really even thought about outside the original Nocenti/Adams book.

[howyadoin]

Ah. Just looked at his bio. Sounds like a real winner.He's still better than Micah Wright.

[o1pickleboy]

I marginally enjoyed some of the things Wright wrote though. Austen's art was fun to pick apart though. Especially Elektra where you could make a drinking game out of reused poses.

I didn't think Hogun was Asian. It works for me because he looks the part in those pictures. He doesn't look the part for either of the other two though.

Ah, I guess I'll have to read that. I only know him from Fall of the Mutants era Uncanny.

Just saying.

In case StarsAndGarters tries to investigate:

I really don't get Longshot.

Anything past his first mini is drivel and to be ignored.

He's Pinocchio with luck powers.

EDIT: Cola of choice to the birthday boy.

[Pól Rua]

I really don't get Longshot.
The original miniseries was fantastic.
Really well-executed slow-burn, unfolding mystery story.
And for the most part, except for one issue where he encounters Spider-Man and She-Hulk, no real ties to the Marvel Universe at large.
When it first came out, I was buying each issue off the shelves and my friends and I were wracking our brains trying to figure out where it was going.

I never heard a word against him until Ultimatum, where he killed a bunch of superheroes.
And there's nothing to get fanboys into a witch-burning frenzy like someone killing their favourite character.

Just like nobody hated Miller before Civil War, and nobody hated Chuck Austen before he wrote X-Men.

Netflix it. One of the more interesting comic to film movie.

It's about an out of control cop using a psycho as a weapon against the Yakuza. Asano plays a sado-masochistic boss trying to find out where his former boss/lover went and figures out the plan.

Their hate is justified.

loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment

Our Worlds at War is when the first hatin' started. He may have gotten some flak for Heroes Reborn, but I think Liefeld absorbed that hit for him.

[Asmith]

Wait.... Michael Shanks is going to play Hawkman in Smallville? Oi.

Yes, finally what the whole world has been waiting for... chubby bad acting Hawkguy!

...though if you've seen the photos it's interesting that other than adding a bronze breast plate they've gone with a very literal translation of his costume... god it looks daft...

[Pól Rua]

Their hate is justified.

Really? I never saw him as that awful. Or at least no more awful than 90% of the hacks grinding out tights 'n' fights crap these days.

[Pól Rua]

I'm certain I;ve heard about Loeb before the Hulk...

Ah... fanboy entitlement. Does it always have to come back to that?

Not always.
Sometimes it comes back to 'it's only good if it's wallowing in knee-jerk misery'.

[DoctorDoom]

Not always.
Sometimes it comes back to 'it's only good if it's wallowing in knee-jerk misery'.
What do you mean?

[Asmith]

You racist bastard.

Hey, dont be bigotted against me just because I'm racist...!

[Tadhg]

Yes, finally what the whole world has been waiting for... chubby bad acting Hawkguy!

I don't think he's chubby anymore.


god it looks daft...

I haven't really watched Smallville but doesn't that sum up the entire show?

[StarsAndGarters]

Really? I never saw him as that awful. Or at least no more awful than 90% of the hacks grinding out tights 'n' fights crap these days.

But Anti-Life justifies their hate! Darkseid is their will!

I thought he was boring but I didn't hate them.

[DoctorDoom]

Really? I never saw him as that awful. Or at least no more awful than 90% of the hacks grinding out tights 'n' fights crap these days.
Maybe it's because I started so late in the game, but I rather enjoy much of what's out there.

I seem to enjoy what a lot of people hate, like Dark Reign and Blackest Night.

[Paradox]

DoctorDoom informs:

Ultimatum was a few months ago.

Oh, then hell, Pol, where have you been? There's been a Loeb hate-fest going on for most of this decade (not that I am one of the haters, though. He's OK. Not great but hardly the devil).

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

Not always.
Sometimes it comes back to 'it's only good if it's wallowing in knee-jerk misery'.

But you have to admit it is hilarious to see Loeb's Batman act like Randy Marsh from South Park. "Don't you understand, Catwoman?! I couldn't save him!"

[Ronald Bryan]

I don't think he's chubby anymore.



I haven't really watched Smallville but doesn't that sum up the entire show?
Well, once they got rid of the black hole of charisma, the rest of the cast started to actually act and the writers learned how to make fun story lines.

[Pól Rua]

What do you mean?

The idea that if a comic isn't wallowing in human misery, the characters aren't a mess of insecurities and neuroses, and the plot isn't a blend of knee-jerk cynicism and adolescent angst then it's either 'unrealistic' or 'kids' stuff'.

[DoctorDoom]

I don't know how you felt about Final Crisis, but I hated that shit. I really, really dug Infinite Crisis.

There's another series that I love against all odds.

[DoctorDoom]

The idea that if a comic isn't wallowing in human misery, the characters aren't a mess of insecurities and neuroses, and the plot isn't a blend of knee-jerk cynicism and adolescent angst then it's either 'unrealistic' or 'kids' stuff'.
Well that's shit.

[Paradox]

Tadhg tells:

Our Worlds at War is when the first hatin' started.

Ugh. I guess I never associated him with that particularly. Probably because the whole thing was a stupid idea that was badly executed. I probably blamed Levitz at the time.


He may have gotten some flak for Heroes Reborn, but I think Liefeld absorbed that hit for him.

Even Unca Walt couldn't salvage any of that mess. Liefeld gets all the hits for that.

[Tadhg]

Well, once they got rid of the black hole of charisma, the rest of the cast started to actually act and the writers learned how to make fun story lines.

From what little I've seen, "Black hole of charisma" could describe everyone not named Luthor or Bo Duke.

[Royal]

Sometimes I wish I was still in comics.

*sigh*

[StarsAndGarters]

Maybe it's because I started so late in the game, but I rather enjoy much of what's out there.

I've got the same non-problem. I only got into comics late in high school. I probably could count the ones I had at the age most people become comics readers on one hand.

I like Dark Reign, but the end of it will be pretty satisfying (hopefully).

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Was that before his run on Superman/Batman? That's when I first heard the hatin' start (I didn't think it was that bad, just not that good, either. I'm a sucker for alternate world stuff, though.).

The 1st arc of Superman/Batman was ok. But once he had Superman choking Wonder Woman to death in brutal fashion....it turned me off from it. I never went back to the book.


I am a bit tired of the Red Hulk cocktease, but I don't hate the book.

I only have 3 issues. #1 , #15-#16. I only got 15-16 for Deadpool and the debut of Red She Hulk. But hell...16 was so bad.... 32 pages of Red Hulk's inner monologue on his dad burning him with cigarettes ? Jesus....

[DoctorDoom]

Speaking of S.W.O.R.D., I'm so happy Death's Head was in it! The original!

[Paradox]

Michael P gives me the shivers:

Early reviews are in for New Moon, and already I have a favorite quote (http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/twilight-saga-new-moon-the-2009):


A juvenile, overly dramatic love story that takes the Romeo and Juliet theme, duct tapes it around a giant, cartoonish hammer, and slams it into your head for 130 minutes.


I swear if I have to listen to Stewart's retched panicky shrieking on the commercials any more, someone must die! :mad:

How sad that I have to change channels just because of their commercials.

[StarsAndGarters]

I only have 3 issues. #1 , #15-#16. I only got 15-16 for Deadpool and the debut of Red She Hulk. But hell...16 was so bad.... 32 pages of Red Hulk's inner monologue on his dad burning him with cigarettes ? Jesus....

How do you even do that without revealing his identity?

[DoctorDoom]

Mini-rant-thing here:

I kind of feel cheated by Outsiders. I got it initially for Batman And--, but that went away. Then I thought it was awesome that Alfred was in charge, but I fear that's just going away too...

How many times are they going to pull a "Brand New Direction" with that book?

[Pól Rua]

Weird. You'd think I'd've seen it before this, but no.
I mean, I heard comics fans complaining about Loeb, but that just means they're still breathing.

His superhero stuff never struck me as being any more loathed than Judd Winnick, or Mark Millar, or Brian Michael Bendis, or... I dunno, anyone writing more than one Marvel or DC comic.

[o1pickleboy]

what the fuck. I got my ex showing intense interesting in my sex life. Another telling me I can "sleep over" anytime. Another ex asking me to come over and visit her

Meltzer? I had my friend read The Tornado's Path and he was upset that 1)There were too many characters and 2) It was too sensationalistic for him. I thought that was a pretty good assessment coming from someone who literally got into comics (we are both casual readers) after I let him read Arkham Asylum and Dark Victory.

As long as you can use them as sugar mommies, then go for it.

Why's that, Royal? Miss the old feeling? Or just want to keep up with the convos?

As long as you can use them as sugar mommies, then go for it.

More like if I know each one of my exes

the one is lonely because she got shot down and want to feel good that there is someone she can have anytime she wants it

the other is looking to get her hooks in me to be "daddy" to her son

the other is an old friend that is just looking for a booty call

You'd have to wade through too much garbage.
I see.

Then I think I'll hold off on that little venture.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I don't know how you felt about Final Crisis, but I hated that shit. I really, really dug Infinite Crisis.

There's another series that I love against all odds.

I loved Infinite Crisis too. The scenes I loved...

- Earth II Superman meets our Batman. In his darkest moment as the world is going to hell , E2 Supes wants to help and remake the world. "I will stand at your side..." he pledges ...then details his bad plan. Batman asks if there is a Dick Grayson on E2. Is he better than his ? Superman has to admit...this Dick Grayson grew from Batman's shadow....and thats all Batman has to hear as he tries to use the kryptonite ring on him.

- E2 Superman suffers his biggest loss ...Lois Lane. His sadness and scream of losing her.....makes him lash out. He admits how wrong he was after Wonder Woman and company calm him. It made me sad reading how this hero had basically moved planets and ate kryptonite...but he couldn't save the woman he loved.

- In a scene that was supposed to be the death of Dick Grayson... Batman has the gun in his hand from a battle. He is overcome with anger over losing Dick...and holds the gun to Alex Luthor's head....ready to pull the trigger. Wonder Woman stops him from it.

[DoctorDoom]

The 1st arc of Superman/Batman was ok. But once he had Superman choking Wonder Woman to death in brutal fashion....it turned me off from it. I never went back to the book.


That was when they were evil, right?

[howyadoin]

8 years comics free.Ah. When you said "in comics", I thought you were having a Bright-Raven moment.

[DoctorDoom]

How do you even do that without revealing his identity?
Show the kid in shadows while the caption goes on...

Or just not flashback at all.

[o1pickleboy]

Why would it be scary?

Jen would nick pick everyones actions down to nothing

Billie would just lay there

Tane would just beat the shit out of jen.

Then some reason they would all blame me and I would have my nuts in a vice

[Royal]

I see.

Then I think I'll hold off on that little venture.

I also loved the audiobook.

Nice to see someone else who does.

[Paradox]

DoctorDoom didn't know?:

It's garbage? Haven't heard that one.

Meh. I only saw the first two seasons but it's Buffy without even the dubious talents of Joss Whedon. Teen soap opera in super-hero drag. The Super-OC.

[howyadoin]

I take it everyone else feels the same way.It's an internet papal decree, so they better.


Ha Ha. No no.

Those ideas have gone a long time ago.Yeah, same here. That dream is gone.

[o1pickleboy]

Now tell me why it would be awesome.

In detail.

3 of them.

Jen would start to nick pick Tane would put something in her face to shut her up. Me and Billie would sit back and watch this. The pure fact of Jen shutting up would be awesome

then and I would been a nice pickle sandwich in-between tane and Billie

[DoctorDoom]

I really don't care about Buffy either. Shocking, I know.

[DoctorDoom]

Case in point.
I see what you mean.

Still loved it, though.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

How do you even do that without revealing his identity?

Repeat the same dumb monologue caption over and over... "My dad burned me once...." and then use new words. It was just dumb. I mean ...jesus...page after page of this. And Red Hulk sounds like a fucking moron as he details this , while he's blind and running from a pissed group wanting to end him.


Mini-rant-thing here:

I kind of feel cheated by Outsiders. I got it initially for Batman And--, but that went away. Then I thought it was awesome that Alfred was in charge, but I fear that's just going away too...

How many times are they going to pull a "Brand New Direction" with that book?

Yeah same here. I bought the 1st issue of Dixon's Outsiders. But hell , once I heard he was being fired , I never bought anymore. Its the same with his Robin run. I jumped back on that...and he was fired within 3 issues of it.


Weird. You'd think I'd've seen it before this, but no.
I mean, I heard comics fans complaining about Loeb, but that just means they're still breathing.

His superhero stuff never struck me as being any more loathed than Judd Winnick, or Mark Millar, or Brian Michael Bendis, or... I dunno, anyone writing more than one Marvel or DC comic.

Yeah , I don't hate Loeb. I think he's batting a bad streak right now. But can turn things around. JMS to me for awhile sucked. His last 30 issues of Spider-Man sucked bad. His Thor ...not my cup of tea. But then he started on Brave and the Bold....and bam. I felt he was back telling good stories again.


what the fuck. I got my ex showing intense interesting in my sex life. Another telling me I can "sleep over" anytime. Another ex asking me to come over and visit her

Good comics.

Ah ah ah!

[Pól Rua]

I see what you mean.

Still loved it, though.

Certainly, if people didn't love it, it wouldn't be so widespread.

[Ronald Bryan]

While everyone is whining, and since I can't take this to the proper board.


If the point of breaking up the marriage was to make Peter more "relatable" to the normal comic reader, why does he currently have half a dozen women all hot for him and trying to get in his pants?

That was delicious, thank you.

[Paradox]

DoctorDoom is blase:

I really don't care about Buffy either. Shocking, I know.

I'm more shocked when people do. It gets too much credit for being merely mediocre, as opposed to mind-staggeringly awful like most of its genre.

[Pól Rua]

Good comics.

Ah ah ah!

Now I'm imagining you laughing like The Count.
I didn't expect that image to be hot.

I'm blaming Loreena Velasquez from 'Santo vs the Vampire Women'.

Wha have you got for me. I don;t have a list of stuff I'm looking for. Not exactly, anyway.

Well there's The Wire. The best cop drama in the history of cop dramas.

I'm also fond of The Immortal Yi Soon Shin. A Korean period drama based off the greatest admiral in Naval history. the plotting and dialogue remind me of Babylon 5. You might be able to find it in your area, but copies are available to purchase online.

[o1pickleboy]

That was delicious, thank you.

your welcome. you like that you should read some my IM's with these girls. :tongue: that smilely take on a whole new meaning

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Case in point.

I admit...I love heroes who really ...are more human. Its what made me like Infinite Crisis. So Superman can move a planet and blow a star out. Thats awesome... but give me an issue where Lois Lane is in danger and we see him acting human and scared since he may lose her , is what I like.

I always liked the more human stories myself. The only moment in Final Crisis I liked....was the scene where Superman is in the hospital with Lois holding her hand. She was badly hurt.... and Jimmy Olsen goes : "I wonder where Superman is ?"

That to me was very human. I like those moments. I also loved the light hearted fare like SUPERBUDDIES and Booster Gold too.


I also loved the audiobook.

Nice to see someone else who does.

Thanks...yeah in all I liked it. I didn't like the death toll....but I enjoyed those moments from it.

[DoctorDoom]

That does not excite me.

Thanks anyway. Anything else?

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

8-9 years now I think.

I ended up watching the first or second when I was overseas by default (thanks, foreign satellite) and I never got into it. I told myself when I got into comics that I could attempt to give it a fair shot, but I just kept hearing bad things about it and decided not to waste my time.

I can dig that, it's just that I tend to get my recommended daily dose of fear, doubt, neurosis, insecurity and misery from real life.
I just don't require that much of it in my funnybooks about magic people in tights fighting mad scientists and monsters.
I'm looking for a little more 'gosh-wow' and a little less 'boo hoo'.

[StarsAndGarters]

I like a certain amount of that. It fits better with some than others.

This goes back to the thing about the Red Hulk, but think I'm exactly the opposite about villains. I don't want to know what traumas made them the psychopaths they are. I just want them to be bad. Like Professor Zoom. He was already obsessive and crazy before he decided he had to be just like Barry Allen.

The exception to this rule is Magneto.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Good comics.

Ah ah ah!

1.) Mary-Jane : In 605 we see angry bitter mode.

2.) Michelle : Crazy pyscho bitch mode .

3.) Blackcat : Horny as hell .

There is no strong female characters in the book. They all come at these levels sadly. Michelle is the craziest one , where Marvel had basically a near rape scene involving the character and Chameleon as Peter Parker.


I don't know and don't care anymore.

The ends may not justify the means, but I'm enjoying the hell out of Amazing Spider-Man.

Or hey, the comics are targeting me :tongue:

ASM targeted me last issue with Deadpool. That battle of put downs was great. I just hope The Gauntlet works on this book. I'm giving it til Feb/March to be good. If not...DROPPED.

What were you a fan of Royal ?



Good comics.

Ah ah ah!

I was a big Vertigo fan. I also was collecting Manga and Manwa along with select euro comics.

I was a big Diabolik fan.

I used to be DC, but everything I got interested in ended early.

[DoctorDoom]

I can dig that, it's just that I tend to get my recommended daily dose of fear, doubt, neurosis, insecurity and misery from real life.
I just don't require that much of it in my funnybooks about magic people in tights fighting mad scientists and monsters.
I'm looking for a little more 'gosh-wow' and a little less 'boo hoo'.
I guess that's the difference for me: I don't think I get nearly enough of that stuff in life to turn me off when i see it in comic form.

Of course, I also enjoy the lighter stuff too.

[o1pickleboy]

Apparently pickle is the normal comic reader.

unfortunately those half dozen make up my sinister six too

[Royal]

I've seen some of the Wire. Eh.



That does not excite me.

Thanks anyway. Anything else?

Well it's got subtitles so you can follow along. Got awesome naval battles too.

Castle is a good series.

[DoctorDoom]

Billie :
o1pickleboy: what are you going to do with that tongue
Billie : for me to know and you to maybe find out
o1pickleboy: I see
Billie : it makes it more interesting.
o1pickleboy: ah I see
Billie : it adds a little spice to the mix.
o1pickleboy: I see and where was this spice last time?
Billie : i have come out of my shell finally.
o1pickleboy: I see
o1pickleboy: about time
Billie : yeah it feels good.
o1pickleboy: good
Billie : yeah
o1pickleboy: I look forward to it
Billie : yeah
o1pickleboy:
Billie : now what are you going to do with that tongue?
o1pickleboy: put inbetween your lower lips

that blank ones have the smiley will the tongue sticking out
I almost want in on that action.

[DoctorDoom]

Well it's got subtitles so you can follow along. Got awesome naval battles too.

Castle is a good series.
Now that might be worth looking into.

[o1pickleboy]

I almost want in on that action.

I wish we talked about that I little earlier in the conversation. Her words where "no way. I like my dick"

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

Nip/Tuck and then bed. Night, ninjas.

[Pól Rua]

Her words where "no way. I like my dick"

I believe I may just have spotted why you guys broke up.
hrm.

[howyadoin]

unfortunately those half dozen make up my sinister six tooYou had a vulture and an octopus?


Nip/Tuck and then bed. Night, ninjas.Later, fucker.

[Royal]

And you can't go wrong with Miami Vice

Well....the first four seasons.

[o1pickleboy]

I believe I may just have spotted why you guys broke up.
hrm.

bad choice of phrasing on my part.

I can dig that, it's just that I tend to get my recommended daily dose of fear, doubt, neurosis, insecurity and misery from real life.
I just don't require that much of it in my funnybooks about magic people in tights fighting mad scientists and monsters.
I'm looking for a little more 'gosh-wow' and a little less 'boo hoo'.

I can get the whole "sense of wonder" as well. I mean I enjoy that aspect a lot. But I like ...a more realism there. I think the best perfect mix of this is Batman & Robin now by Morrison. There are moments where everything seems so light hearted and fun....like the scene where Damian and Dick dive outta the flying Bat-Mobile....and Damian's battle cry. Then there are dark moments...like Pyg and the Pink Flamingo. Its a great mix...of horror and fun.


I like a certain amount of that. It fits better with some than others.

This goes back to the thing about the Red Hulk, but think I'm exactly the opposite about villains. I don't want to know what traumas made them the psychopaths they are. I just want them to be bad. Like Professor Zoom. He was already obsessive and crazy before he decided he had to be just like Barry Allen.

The exception to this rule is Magneto.

I really think the best new rogue that Johns made was the new Zoom. Hunter Zolomon as Zoom wants to show Wally West in his twisted way what sacrifices must be made to be a better hero. Its twisted as hell. But I liked that Hunter was a good man as a criminal profiler who sadly went wrong .

In all those stand alone rogue issues Johns did of Flash , I loved the twisted reasons each one went the way they did. From Captain Cold's abusive father ...and how the only person Snart ever loved in his life...was his sister. I loved that issue (Flash #182) .

You would like Greek Street and the Unwritten at Vertigo now I bet. Greek Streek is pretty awesome and mixes mythology with some elements of today.

[Tadhg]

Golden Girls
Magnum P.I.
Murder, She Wrote

[Donald M.]

And you can't go wrong with Miami Vice



Sure you can, by taking fashion advice from it.

Shoes with no socks in humid weather's a good way to breed foot fungus.

[Athena Bast]

I ended up watching the first or second when I was overseas by default (thanks, foreign satellite) and I never got into it. I told myself when I got into comics that I could attempt to give it a fair shot, but I just kept hearing bad things about it and decided not to waste my time.

I've only seen bits and pieces.

The guy they've got playing Green Arrow is pretty decent.

I love the fact that the chick character they've got helping Lex (where ever he is) is named Tess Mercer. The nods to the Supes history have been good. I loved how they named Chris Reeves character Dr Swan.

[DoctorDoom]

And you can't go wrong with Miami Vice

Well....the first four seasons.
No. No way.

I'd rather watch the Shield.

[DoctorDoom]

Golden Girls
Magnum P.I.
Murder, She Wrote
Now you're not even trying.

[o1pickleboy]

You had a vulture and an octopus?

Later, fucker.

no but I had a mankiller

[DoctorDoom]

Yeah, I don't feel that comin' in the air tonight.

[howyadoin]

Now you're not even trying.No, he just really loves those shows.

[DoctorDoom]

Nip/Tuck and then bed. Night, ninjas.
Sweet dreams

[Donald M.]

No. No way.

I'd rather watch the Shield.

Watch some Shield, then check out The Commish for a shock.

I loved that show when I was 15. Never would have imagined that chubby, blading Commissioner Scali would one day be an ultra bad ass totally bald rogue cop.

[Paradox]

DoctorDoom twitches:

Now you're not even trying.

Magnum's actually decent, but if you're going to go that way, you should probably go straight to the Rockford Files instead.

[DoctorDoom]

I wish we talked about that I little earlier in the conversation. Her words where "no way. I like my dick"
.....I see.

[DoctorDoom]

Magnum's actually decent, but if you're going to go that way, you should probably go straight to the Rockford Files instead.
I changed my mind. There is a criteria.

Shows from 2000 on.

[o1pickleboy]

.....I see.

but I am always available to handle them late night needs.

[DoctorDoom]

No, he just really loves those shows.
....Golden Girls?

*shivers*

[DoctorDoom]

but I am always available to handle them late night needs.
I have needs that need to be attended to shortly.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

What I can't believe ....is that there is a thread....with ...well over the top nudity in it....and its still around with no one saying.."Hey those images have to be deleted and all since its against CBR rules..."

Whats funny is ...I had this tame image of Trish Stratus fully clothed in sexy lingere that I was told that had to be deleted for the above reason. Yet...the thread is showing way more....way...way more than my Trish pic did weeks back.

[howyadoin]

Magnum's actually decent, but if you're going to go that way, you should probably go straight to the Rockford Files instead.I think you mean Barney Miller.

My problem isn't that 'grim, gritty' superheroics exists, just that 99% of tights 'n' fights comics are about the main character feeling powerless, miserable and conflicted.
Like I say, I don't have a problem with that per se, just that fact that there's very little by way of alternatives, and most of it is so fuck-awful. So much of it reads like teenage emo poetry, "Oh everything's horrible, Why am I so powerless? If only girls would let me touch their boobs!"

[o1pickleboy]

I have a strong tongue muscle and I know how to make a bowl of cereral

[Donald M.]

I changed my mind. There is a criteria.

Shows from 2000 on.

You can have them.

I've been watching so much RTV (low rent TV Land without the shitty reality shows) lately and just having so much fun with these old shows.

Dragnet is insanely entertaining if you imagine Jack Webb is a robot. He doesn't make it hard.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Sons of Anarchy is a new show I love to watch when I can. I am gonna get the 1st season DVD of that soon. With my beard ....all I need a motorcycle and I can be a bad ass biker...yeah....
