  1. seems like when frank miller first started signing again his ss books were selling for big money based on his past. I love miller and his work. I'm glad I held my mud on those prices.

    I think the only person with more ss books on the bay right now than miller might be stan

    to each there own. if someone feels their 9.8 miller they paid 500 for is a nicer book than the same ones on the bay for 250 that's awesome. its all about building your collection and being happy with it.

     

  2. this type of thing is what I was talking about when I made my previous post. lets say that ca announces next week that affleck is signing with them. if what was stated was paid for an affleck sig that person could buy five or six at that price. hell they could even have the sig put on a book of their choosing.

    I know that everyone wants the hot stuff. its always been that way in collecting. sell all of your rookie cards you paid top dollar for last year to get the hot ryan leaf rookie at top dollar this year.

    the whole thing is shocking to me. pay ten times what an affleck ss is worth while at the same time a frazetta ss is available for half the affleck price. there is some saying I remember that states something about a fool and his money parting ways in a quick manner 

     

  3. "There are a ton of celebrities that have only signed a couple of books for SS - it makes them rare, doesn't necessarily make them desirable.

    I'm fairly certain that some of my Stargate Atlantis CGC SS books are the only copies that have the signatures of those particular celebrities, but it doesn't really mean anything to anyone outside of me (and my wife)."

     

    this is 100% correct. the one thing I have learned the very hard way is to wait some of these " rare " sigs out. I have over paid for ss books that were rare at the time. even been told the " yeah this actor or director said they will never be at a con again " line. only to see that they then start making regular con appearances and their ss books selling for a fraction of what I paid trying to be first to have one. I know there are acceptations but like I say most times the supply brings the price way down.

    One of my favorite shows of the last decade. This started as just a Charlie Hunnam book, but with the help of some really good people in this hobby, I was able to throw a bunch of other key cast members to it and now it's a super duper keeper.

    chris this is very nice. the gold and white inks look awesome on that cover

  5. So wow... Damn wowwww!

    Just when everyone's counting Kirkman out (with FTWD & Outcast) he comes back with THIS!

    This to me proves that Kirkman is and always will be made for TWD. Nothing else. Thats his calling in life

    Even through the slower seasons, it all came down to Negan. He knew he can do anything he effin wanted, as long as he has this EPIC storyline ready to go.

    I could have not imagine a better interpretation of WD 100 than with this episode. Borrowed alot of elements from the book, brilliant build up, Dramatic cinematography, beautiful BEAUTIFUL acting by all. The entire cast is just spot on. Negan and Maggie stole the show. ABSOLUTELY FUKIN STOLE THE SHOW

    Takes alot for this old man to cry from a movie/TV show.. and sure as hell I was weeping like a baby

    Kudos to you Kirkman. Long live the Walking Dead

     

    I don't know what you are talking about. everyone I know that watched outcast thought it was very good. I thought it got better with each episode. I'm looking forward to season two.

  6. The 1960 version was excellent. Sure there were flaws because of the filming limitations in that era but overall it was well done.

     

    The film was taken from a Japanese film of the same idea so really that version was a remake also.

     

    I don't put out much hope about the new remake as Hollywood movies tend to go over-the-top in their delivery. They feel the need to deliver things that couldn't possibly have happened in that era because they don't believe people will see it otherwise. 3:10 to Yuma is a good example. A basic film that had a lot of suspense and character ruined by bullet-ridden affair in the more recent version.

     

    I disagree here - I thought both the modern remakes of 3:10 to Yuma and True Grit were superior to the originals.

     

    _Maybe_ the cinematography in the original 3:10 to Yuma was better, but in terms of acting, pacing and story, I found the new one to be far superior.

     

    Not saying this film will come close to the original Magnificent Seven (again, as I said -- it needs just a bit more acting firepower to even come close) but it could still make for a fun Saturday afternoon.

    Just came back from this and it was better than the original. I am a big Steve McQueen and Yul Bryner fan, but the remake blows it out of the water. Very modern take on this classic story.

     

     

    this movie was very good. i liked the way they changed so much but then kept giving little nods to the original. maybe you need to check the original out again. i cant think of anything about this movie that was better than anything in the original other than maybe the fact that the original had more depth and got a little slow in a couple spots

  7. I just realized that is the brother of the actor that played Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgård) and his other brother that plays Loki in History Channel's Vikings series (Gustaf Skarsgård). Guess acting is in the blood.

  8. bat am i right to guess that you are north of the md line? im asking because in the south where i grew up what you are saying is blasphemy. i remember 38 at parties in high school. some awesome memories

    Where in the south did you grow up? I can see Lynyrd Skynyrd or Allman Brothers being treated so reverently, but 38 Special?

     

    I don't know any southern rock fans (and I spent a lot of time in Virginia and also in the Army either in the Deep South or around a lot of southerners) who thought of 38 Special as anything other than a pop version of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

     

     

    I grew up in polk county. I never said 38 was on the level of skynyrd or any other band. I'm saying about the time I was in high school they were all over the radio and were played at parties that we had. I love the song chained lighting.

     

    when I lived in fort myers I used to go to rickey medlockes studio. he had a ton of people in and out of there. was lucky enough to meet a few of my musical heroes. I was lucky enough to meet both of the caldwells toy and tommy. the back bone of one of my favorite bands marshall tucker.

  9. this movie doesn't have a talking raccoon or tree to make kids want to see it three times.

     

     

     

    I felt really good about ant man. hell it had Michael Pena in it.

     

     

    we will see. I hope it breaks box office records. I just don't feel good about it and I think cumberbatch is the perfect choice for this character. he is awesome.

  10. i hope not but i do believe this character may be the one that slows the marvel train.

     

    sigh, eventually people will realize Marvel doesnt produce superhero films, they produce films with superoheros IN them. Huge difference, and why they are now a permanent fixture of movie making, and will never "slow", or "suffer suprehero fatigue".

     

    They are in their own category, which they have created, and many others struggle because they still think its all just "superhero films".

     

     

    ok. I love the movies. I hope this isn't the case but I believe this " film with a superhero IN it." may be the one that slows marvel down. nothing to do with " superhero fatigue " at all. I just don't think this movie will be on par.

     

    its just my opinion from what I have seen of the movie. I will see it opening weekend. but I'm a comic nerd and have been all of my life. talking to many people who normally see the movies but could give a about comic books. they are not interested in this character or movie at all. time will tell I reckon. I hope it blows up like gotg did. but I don't think so.

  11. im sorry. i thought that was what everyone called him. im not cool in any way shape fashion or form. i have never claimed to be cool. im a fat balding ole hillbilly. its hard to make that cool.

     

    i know there are trolls like you that try and be something online. like the way you lipped off to david. did he tell you that you had to like 38 ( not calling 38 to be cool.) can he not like them? i believe to each their own.

     

     

    i personally think soad sucks. but if you and everyone else on the planet loves them more power to you.

     

     

    the best concert i have seen in the last few years is eric church but again to each their own.

  12.  

    .38 Special? Why are you trying to sabotage Roy's show? At least pick a good guitarist from a band that doesn't suck .

     

    Carlisi is a great guitarist who wrote or co-wrote most of .38 Special's hits. Nobody plays the guitar quite like him, not flashy, but brilliant solos and he can play virtually anything. Check out his website and linked performances with Paul Rodgers.

     

    He's also modest and a team player. :baiting:

     

    Must be why he sucks.

     

    :boo:

     

    Well, he may not be a flashy axeman, but 38 Special were a tighter unit with his spot-on leads... (thumbs u

     

     

     

    There's nothing about this performance that sucks, IMO. :sorry:

     

     

    Here Carlisi nails the Kossoff solo from All Right Now...

     

    .38 Special sucks. I couldn't change the channel fast enough, be it the radio or MTV.

    Next!
