  1. I take it back The last 6 eps of Season 2 were terrible. Amazed this got renewed tbh
  2. Just finished. An easy watch, quite enjoyable
  3. 3 hours - the guy is serious! CGC take note! 2 hrs 44 in - epic rant!
  4. Agreed - and a shame Williams was...complex A lot to work with - rather than go the comedy route. Phase 4 is pretty much an epic failure. They really need the 'big bad villain' to pull the phases together - Hopefully Phase 5 is better. I'm not holding my breath of what I have seen so far......Secret Invasion needs to knock it out of the park
  5. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-12/turkish-bear-rescued-after-eating-mad-honey-/101326312 Just to while away the time as the Black Flag saga unfolds....
  6. I was amazed the Dredd / Anderson film flopped. Part Dredd, part 'The Raid' - I thought it hit the spot. Urban could play Dredd for the next 20 years as all you see is a craggy face anyway - plus he doesn't say much! Olivia Thirlby is still only 35 so she could certainly be in the next one at least.
  7. These guys are on their way to Boston...
  8. They should be doing both - as they 'stand by what they grade' surely?
  9. Yeah,had to go back and remind myself as well. It was Ok
  10. Correct - this was my point, which I obviously made badly - that these 'reprints' have been made to a different standard OR they are getting gift grades $$$$ They are either suspiciously made better than the originals or they have been graded much kinder.
  11. You are turning into a counter-culture Harvey Swick, Andrew
  12. This question right here is the kicker. Elephant in the room. How did these flogs get so many identically high grades on each book, which is exponentially higher than the original books recieved by a magnitude beyond belief. Explain how they got 1 x 10, 3 x 9.9 etc etc from 10 books (or whatever it was) when the original book - ULTIMATE FALLOUT #4 - had exactly 0 in 10.0 and 0 in 9.9 - out of OVER 14,000 BOOKS. I notice Crain again did some art - I wonder how Marvel feels about one of it's artists going rogue. Seriously - this needs addressing. I mean, imagine if ALL the influencers (aka cockwombling wankers) had been invited to CGC HQ for an 'advice on how to grade using CGC standards' - you know, the 'secret sauce' that makes you $$$ by knowing all CGC's funny little ways... Oh wait - THEY DID - just before this fiasco unfolded. The fact that this seems to 99% of people on here, and across the internet seem to believe that this is a 'cash for grades' scam is bad enough. The fact that is was done in plain sight, with breadcrumbs to follow the size of cars, then no wonder the backlash has been huge - and still growing. This is a disgrace. @CGC Mike @dena @Harshen @Rich Johnston @DrWatson Any decent competitor, with $$$ reserves, should be advertising the hell out of this, fixing their website, and launching a census for their books. Then offering a 30% discount, and smashing their TAT's with new hires and new equipment. This isn't going away - especially with CGC doubling-down with increasingly moronic responses, and Black Flag still going ahead with the next launch at the next Convention - despite the organisers being notified that these are UNAUTHORISED FAKES. Hopefully someone with be there to record the no-doubt epically rowdy scenes.......
  13. Sadly this just drags an unwitting noobie, influences by these flicknuckles to buy one for $3000 and think they have 'won' a bargain. People should just report these items and leave these re-sellers out of pocket, and the influencers looking like mugs. Or wankers.Or Cockwombles. Choose your own title - all are appropriate Report these 'books' to ebay.
  14. Yes - but so much more if you are English or a big fan of UK 60's movie +/- music. An example: Alfie (Pennyworth) lives in Micklewhite Lane. Alfie was a film that (along with Zulu) set up the legendary career of Michael Caine. Michael Caine's real name? Maurice Micklewhite PS: If you look in the 'long shoots' of scenes in Micklewhite lane, you see a pub (not the one shown in close up or inside shots) - it's where the 1st Kingsmen was filmed There are literally 100's of hat-tips to the UK in the 1960's. From Peg Sykes image in early S1 to a notorious UK killer - the reporter in the rally looking and wearing clothes imortalized by the 1st supermodel - Twiggy - and heaps more. If you get them - even more fun - on it's own, still a very good series so far Only blot was that Crowley stuff. Solid 8/10 so far (half way through season 2) Do not expect anything even remotely connected to the Batman though (except a few characters names) - at least not so far.
  15. There are some well known names on the Voldy board laying the boot in. Some well known posters from here are on there too.
  16. There are still at least FOUR of these abominations on ebay Report them.
  17. Well that's ok then. Nothing serious. Carry On PS: I thought it was the Korean guy in the vid- he defo was killed - still not cool.
  18. Yeah, so that guy dies leaving a widow and 3 kids. Not cool
  19. 2 bullseyes - 5 points. Like most got screwed over by the 2nd book.
  20. Waffle waffle Who is this guy? 'Marvel insist on a 3000 print run for all variants' - eh?
