If you'd rather at some dude's package in the skintight Surfer suit there's nothign wrong with that. However speaking for myself and bulk of the potential audience for the film I'd much rather stare at a shapely female form with potential cam3l t0e in the taut Silver. BTW's I'm positive Lee and Kirby would agree with me!

You must be thinking of the wrong chick...besides being quite possibly the homeliest actress in follywood she has the body of a prepubescent male.

Glad I stopped being excited about this years ago.

What do you read?

Sutter Cane...exclusively.

I just watched this last night as it was on one of the streamers.  It was actually an enjoyable experience!  Sure the cgi is atrocious and the storyline terrible but there were some pretty cool scenes and I did laugh my butt off.  No regerts!

Wow.  Unusually and uncharacteristically, I was lucky enough to get (crash) out of the graded comic game several years ago...what a mess.

Initially, I liked the sticker idea, more I think about it, not so much.  We have to remember how much some of these slabs are handled. Sold multiple times, shipped, in comic boxes, taken to shows, not to mention the number of hands just touching slabs. They would just never hold up and would either peel, or get very warn. 

 

Back to marking the inner well, and working on making the outer case more tamper evident.

Perhaps little interlocking "teeth" or tabs on each half of the clamshell that are too fragile to survive sonic un-welding or heat?

those stay in the slab.

Flat on their backs, in my case.  It's that insufferable movement within the inner well that irks me most (well, besides the whole 'replaced book' scenario).  Hard to avoid without excess pressure, I realize but I ain't scared to jailbreak dat muva if I see it sliding..

Pulling for you Jimbo...take care and get back here soon.

Oh man...I am so so very sorry to hear this terrible news.  I really enjoyed reading his posts over the past 10 years I've been here.  Rest in peace Bird and sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Where you in Dallas last weekend? 

Pfft, I can't even bring myself to leave my state anymore.  Even here those tedious "peepel" things abound.

I still love going out to the movies.  Why don't you guys?  

Humans being

I'm just trying to imagine finding a box of these somewhere and getting all excited and clammy seeing those top labels until I realized exactly what it was!

Sucks about the shipping damages, sorry to see that.

Because if you're gonna do Friday, let's *do* Friday. Was riffing on this in the Gold Forum, figured it would entertain you guys here as well.

I BIN a sharp golden age book for $150 on ebay. Seller has (0) feedback and it seems like they haven't dealt with comics much, so as a precaution I message them as soon as I've paid: 
Hi friend, I just purchased this comic from you; thanks! It looks like a nice one -- **can you please ship it in a sturdy, well-padded box rather than an envelope?** Just want to make sure it arrives without additional dents or creases.

They respond right away:
Sure, will do!

I receive the book a few days later, and see with horror that it's been shipped in this rumpled white bubble envelope. There's no protection inside other than two white backing boards, which form a "sandwich" so flimsy it could be creased with the gentlest of pressure. By some absolute miracle there are no heavy creases -- the book inside survives and is fine.

I'm about to recycle the bubble envelope. I peel off the mailing label and find *this* written on the mailer... see photo below. Is this one of those "power of positive thinking" kinds of things? Sheesh!

You really can't make this stuff up.  

Bro that is some voodoo stuff lol...like writing a name on paper and throwing it into the fire or writing "bullet proof vest" inside your blazer

Is this actually from the game?  Of the criticisms I’ve read several are about the graphics and outdated engine, constant sone loading etc.

Funny steam review I read of it called Starfield the best game of 2006.

I'm pretty positive it is...people comparing it to Mass Effect Andromeda.

Not in my collection anymore but when I saw the poster at my local theater, I knew what I was going to see that Friday night

Woah, that's a blast from the past!  I used to see this at the rental place all the time...reminded me of Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future (a really crazy show for kids to be watching on Saturday morning).  Pretty sure I was pretending to be this tank cyborg guy those nights!

Don't you guys mean....Starefield?

Be afraid.  Be VERY afraid.

First thing I'd do is make all the neckbeards in the encapsulation department wear hairnets. 

 

Around their necks? Necknets?

Don't ever make the mistake of attempting to watch this disaster...or do, if your into that sort of thing (I found it hilarious)!  Short synopsis: Televangelist causes older lady to cough up some sort of living tumor through his preaching.  She throws it in the trash and her 20 something y/o son finds it and keeps it under his bed.  It speaks to him telepathically and, as it commands, he brings home human bodies for it to consume.

I've always been partial to The Blob Remake

No can do, your reality requires an observer!
