Aw crap.

This is so cool, I can use my iPhone as a Kindle!

Can't you just use the Kindle app? E-ink's great and all, but adding an e-ink screen to an iphone seems a little redundant.

It could be useful; being visible in sunlight and all and having a screen always on without sucking up the battery. That said, it looks to be impractical as a kindle replacement until one can see how the API shakes out. Personally, I trust random Indiegogo less than I trust random kickstarter. It's a decent enough idea, but I'd be wary until I see final execution.

I love love love the revamped chest logo for Man Of Steel:



It looks kinda Golden Age/Earth 2 style.

I'm wondering how much of a bitch that rubber suit was to move in.

[Paradox]

I really don't like these hexagram based super-suits. Just looks too weird to me.

The difference is not always staring at a glossy screen.

That is valid, and I agree. But, I have had a few successes from Indiegogo.

But you can play a D&D wilderness adventure on them.

No harder than Tobey Maguire's Spiderman suit.

Slam_Bradley knows of old days with pen and paper:

Exactly. That's what keeps bothering me. "Why are you WEARING a D&D map???"

Its so hypocritical, all of the Spiderman costumes from the previous series were exactly the same material, and no one complained about them, there.



Yes, they complained about other things but not the material....

[Vibranium]

they seem to want to make them out of durable material so you don't burn through them during production

Surely someone somewhere did.

I didn't. But then I'm not complaining about this one. I honestly don't care. But no way I'm not going to make a D&D joke when it's right there.

I might see the Superman film when it's on DVD if it gets good reviews. Otherwise, I'm a trembling mass of indifference to the whole thing. There's never been a non-animated Superman that I liked.

As to a different longunderwear movie, I finally got around to seeing the new Spiderman movie over the weekend. It was alright. I still don't know why we needed to have his origin retold, but OK. And it suffered from a lot of the standard longunderwear movie cliches. But both boys liked the new guy better than Toby Maguire. And it was generally entertaining in a generic sort of way.

I liked the suit a little more because it fit his body type and wasn't covered in red like the suit in the original series

Same. I get that straight spandex doesn't work in live-action without looking cheap and silly, but fuck it I bored myself before I even got to the end of the sentence.

And I'm guessing those handcuffs will only be on for as long as Superman wants them to be on.
