  1. Was sorting some short boxes the other day and snapped this pic for the thread. I've got more I can do once I get to them.
  2. That's not toxic unless you have a VERY thin skin, man. Come on, now. I sympathize with you when you're getting needlessly attacked around here, but I'm just having a discussion about something I really care very little about. It's just coffee shop talk because I'm bored at work. I personally don't see the point in him continually saying "WOW! THIS HAS LEGS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???" when he's talking about a dud movie that's already lost lots of money, but that's his right and prerogative. I don't need to care that much about it, but I'm just having a conversation/debate with you. It's all good in the end. No worries. We can disagree about opinions and still be good to each other.
  3. Lol. Come on, now. I'm not suggesting that anyone NEEDS to do anything because I say so. It's just an expression. It's like saying that Joe Rogan needs to "go away" for whatever BS he's sprouting at the moment. I don't expect him to actually disappear. I don't need to know the metrics. If the movie has a certain budget, like $200 million...and then an advertising budget of $100 million...and then the total box office after 6 weeks is $150 million, it does not matter if it's got "legs" or not. It's done. Toast. A failure. A bomb. If he's an "expert" and I'm just "some guy" it doesn't matter. The numbers are the numbers.
  4. I'm not out of touch with anything, my friend. Just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I wasn't reading on almost a daily basis. I saw all the attacks, all the arguing, all the BS that this forum is always capable of. I don't understand that, but I know how this place is. Toxic. My mindset is that if it isn't making a profit and losing money, it's a "bomb." That movie guy needs to stop with the "it's got legs" garbage when all the legs in the world won't make the movie NOT a bomb. That's my point.
  5. A buddy of mine in CT has a collection that I'm buying from him. I'm in SC. It's about 20 longboxes, so I'm thinking that pallet fright might be a cheap shipping option, but as far as creating an account at various companies and going through all the rigamarole of trying to figure out the logistics of it for an estimate when the actual purchase is a few weeks away I'd reach out on here and see if anyone's done this and how involved it is. Thanks in advance for any info.
  6. I'm not trying to be a jerk when I ask this, but I'm curious... So what? So what if someone wants to trash something they haven't seen? I have ZERO intentions of seeing the Madame Web movie. I've seen the trailer and a few clips and I think it's dumb looking. Furthermore, the fact that they're making this instead of, IMHO of course, much more worthy & deserving comic characters is mind-boggling to me. It's like in football when a team needs a first down and they don't get the ball to their best player. They try to get it to some backup. When they don't get the first down, I tell my TV..."Serves them right."
  7. Small failure, large failure...all still means failure. If a film has a budget of $200 million and makes $150 million total yet had "legs" in theaters for 10+ weeks, who cares? It's a failure..
  8. Unless Marvel announces it themselves this is all just clickbait rumor bullcrap.
  9. Can you point me to the issues of any Supergirl comic where she wasn't drawn as attractive? Go ahead, I'll wait.
  10. That doesn't mean they can't be wrong. This guy is wrong. This film has never had "legs" and is a failure.
  11. Absolutely tremendous story and an example of the power of perseverance. Congrats!
  12. Congrats on the deal. It's so wonderful to see your passion for comics.
  13. They have learned nothing, and will continue to make projects that fail.
  14. They won't ever do anything like this, because they just want the situation to disappear. They don't want any more "investigating."
  15. Agreed. Either the character appeared...or they didn't. You either saw him for the first time in continuity/story...or you didn't.
