Better than I expected for a Zack Snyder movie (JLA, 300, Watchmen ). Borrows from every sci-fi fantasy movie (SW: Empire Strikes Back, rebooted Dune part 1, Furiosa, Akira, Star Wars: Rogue One, Starship Troopers, Iron Sky part 1, John Carter Warlord of Mars) we have seen and usually enjoyed the last 45 years.

OK, important update 

 

I will post a nightly update of how many funds we've gathered so far.

Thank you! 

fyi, small typo in the title of this thread should be his Boardie name as 'jimjum12.'

Can't remember the last time I cried at a movie. Godzilla Minus One: great blend of directing like 'Jaws', dramatic soundtrack, horrors of war, family, no wokeness necessary to relate to survivors and tear up. 9/10 rating but the fact that Gojira movie budget less than $15 million USD garners 10/10.

 It's just knowing the backstory of the characters and the comics in general, you recognize the missed opportunities.

Finding out that Trank did not want it to be so linked to the comic books - he was missing the point how worshipped these characters are as icons that helped establish Marvel Comics. It's dangerous to mess too much with such lore.

Decent actor for Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards:

They have learned their lesson by now right? Right?

If they do a gender swap, Silver Surfer? 

The spec is in. Anya Taylor-Joy as the female Norrin Radd: Dr. Candy Goodstroke, sentinel of the spaceways, herald of Galactus.

Dr. Candy Goodstroke, Marvel's sentinel of the spaceways: herald to Galactus. Soon to be on the M-she-U /MCU big screen for all to enjoy.

Do u accept PayPal, int'l money orders?

Every winter, it is the 'end of days' and the Great Comic Crash is upon us ... Jan. 2024. SA/BA keys down up to 40% compared to the spike in 2022. More FB marketplace ads listing one's personal collection of early SA ASM and X-men. Seeing AF 15 consigned to one's LCS. More LCS closing Dec. 31, 2023, as Jan. to Feb. are traditionally terrible months for retail: toys, comics, cr card bills coming due. LCS announces 1/2 price sale for entire month of Dec, 2023 to prepare for the $1 recent back issue dumping ground that is Jan. 2024.

It looks like 3 copies.  

Plus 3 large Jumbo Comics too; scarce.

I don’t plan to watch the Marvels…

Better to watch or rewatch graphic novel based 'Scott Pilgrim' with a fine young cast of Brie Larson (Marvels), Chris Evans (Capt. America, Human Torch), Brandon Routh (Superman, the Atom), comedic Aubrey Plaza, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman (new Hunger Games: Songbird), and Kieran Culkin (Succession tv).

'Godzilla Minus 1' on very few Cineplex screens in BC, Canada and no matinees. May be able to be released on more screens next week after the 'Marvels' goes away due to lowest box office for MCU film.

Wasn't Pie-Face an Eskimo?

So GL sidekick was called Pie-face because he reminded Hal Jordan of Eskimo pie?

"Gleek" was the monkey side-kick of Super Friends' side-kicks Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins. "Blip" was the monkey side-kick of Space Ghost's sidekicks Jan and Jace.  

I kowtow to your vast animation knowledge ... or better use of Google.

Asian Pie-face, sidekick to silver age Green Lantern who was already a very powerful hero.

Monkey Gleep sidekick of Zann and Zace(?) of the Space Ghost animated family.

Does it work on the Metal-backed tags you sometimes see on tpbs and hardcovers from certain annoying retailers? 

Yes, Bestine should work on foil metal-backed tags but recommend u wear an industrial or true N95 face mask when using it under a strong fume hood.

Sweet ballad 'Blue Period' by the Smithereens with a cameo by Belinda Carlisle (GoGos).

Prefer Superman #32 or 33 whichever one is 'It tickles' black cover.
