  1. People with kids make me laugh... they look forward to having kids, then they look forward to the time when they get rid of the kids.

    my 1 year old on Thursday sat there for the 1st time to watch a kids film, it was Paulie, and now i have it on the planner and can imagine seeing it alot more

  3. I've never managed to pay attention for more than about 5 minutes or so when I've tried watching the Punisher films on TV.  I'm not a fan of the character, which can't help any.  

     

    The Punisher was always the most baffling success story in comics. I thought he was an interesting foe / ally for Spider-Man at the beginning as he provided a monolithic foil for the character, and worked quite well in Spidey's main title.

     

    However that doesn't explain the fact that at one point he had four or five titles in the early 90s, not to mention annuals, spin-offs and "holiday specials", which were especially poor cash-ins. Very much a benchmark of the era, those books.

     

    I was never going to sit through a movie that was guaranteed to showcase an even more soulless take on the character, especially with Lundgren etc. in the lead "role".

     

    What do you think of Ennis's Punisher?

     

    Apart possibly from Conway's original version, very much the best take on the character, with a better delineated supporting cast. Ennis's dry gallows humour and the excellent art drew me back to the series, at least for 20 issues or so.

     

    PunisherMax had been my best read for many years, he saturated the market 20 years ago

  4. just reading Batman Knightfall again, last time was 15 years ago and you know what i dont remember a single thing of it, kinda felt if i was reading the right book at 1st, this was my 2nd major story i believe i got into as a kid, 1st was Death of Superman, also remember Emerald Dawn and Eclipso from this era aswell, so people what was your 1st major arc you remember from comic collecting?

  5. Pah!!!

     

    Puny Premiership.

     

    The Championship is where all the cool kids hang out.

     

    I'm off to Gills v Boro in the capital one cup at the end of the month, most of my mates are Gills fans

     

    Gillingham have quite a support base, I've heard....

     

    They could have a huge catchment, been to Wembley 3 times in 10 years with them, twice they have 40k support and once 55k support in a play off final against Wigan
