...... the main thing, like you said, is clarity in the terms of each seller's listing. To create a scenario that is fair to all buyers, the PM only option needs to be allowed. Privacy should be an option if someone chooses that route. It's the standard at all the auction houses and on eBay, so it's not like the idea is unorthodox. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I think a reasonable 'fall back' set of rules should be included in the Official forum selling rules if for no other reason, to provide clarification for when someone says 'usual rules apply'. Those rules should include A) timestamp wins B) purchases by PM ok That's my 2 cents. Just those two mandatory rules would eliminate a world of pain. And all selling rules are mandatory.

Guys, seriously? This is becoming pretty annoying. I've had several slow pages. It's annoying enough that it makes me not want to come back. Can't you guys fix this?

Just curious, do you still feel this way? I still don't really 'get' Wilson Fisk coming through D'onofrio's acting but I do get the Kingpin.

Stan will say anything to spin it positive. He's been doing it since 1961. Lots of things did well but some didn't, but it was all 'awesome' when it came out. Personally, I kind of hope it flops so Marvel gets the rights back like they did with DD. These other studios just don't seem to get it. Marvel / Disney are treating the franchises like solid gold and putting out a quality product. The others seem to treat them like they're not that important and it shows in the quality of films

Note: In business, especially sales or retail, its not always about being right, or even doing right, but usually about letting your customers know that you CARE about them, and that you hope to do things MORE RIGHT going forward (whether you mean it or not). No one expects you to get everything right every time, and sometimes you'll be put in a lose-lose. THat isn't lost on customers if you have the right attitude. So that one time when I saw my boss throw a customer out into the parking lot by his belt and the scruff of his neck was not cool? I agree, customer service is all about perception of the customer. You can spill a plate of soup on a customer and they can still come back and be your best customer as long as they believe you care.

Not every movie that does this is doomed. 1982 Poltergeist Rumored Spielberg took over for Tobe Hooper. That turned out fine (the reboot coming out this summer), even despite one of the stars getting murdered by her jealous boyfriend before or after (I forget) the film's immediate release. If that happened nowadays though... Don't worry about the box-office numbers. It still was a good movie, I'm still scared of clown dolls to this day even. Nowhere near the same. This movie WISHES it could get some publicity like Spielberg might take over the movie. And Spielberg's forceful presence on Poltergeist had nothing to do with Hooper's inadequacies. That's just Spielberg. And Tobe Hooper had already created a masterpiece of horror in Texas Chainsaw Massacre which did $30M ($143M adjusted for 2015) on practically no budget. Poltergeist had a budget of 10.7 million dollars ($26.2 adjusted for 2015).... that's a spit in the bucket. Fantastic Four is at least $200 million and they're still not even sure how to promote it. This movie has disaster written all over it. I have to agree with you. Marvel and DC are pumping tidbits of movies that are still years away - YEARS - and pumping them hard. This movie which is due a few months away is still a mystery. More than that, I tend to have a nose for movies (at least I think I do). It's sort of a 'six sense' I use for picking movies and it's generally reasonably accurate. Movies that I really want to see generally end up being at least decent movies (both by my opinion and the general public's). Those that smell like a stinker to me are generally real stinkers (like Ghost Rider). All I really need to do is see a few pics from the movie, see who is acting in it and watch a trailer and I get a pretty good idea of what will or won't be good. If it's not a well known franchise where the name doesn't carry any weight sometimes even just hearing the title is often enough to give it away for me. I can safely say that for this movie I have not been impressed. I'm going to predict that it's probably not going to be awesome. Real shame since the FF was one of my favorite titles since I was a kid.

Just finished episode 13 and all I can say is this sort of television blows away TWD, nevermind shows like Gotham. What an amazing piece of work. Good job, Marvel!

Quick pay on a purchase. Thank you!

Now you sound like a broken record. Don't get on his good side, he might start sending you creepy PMs.

Wait till the last episode where, instead of shawarma, they all flock to Georgia to try Paula Deen's Chicken Fried Steak! Does she call Wilson Fisk fat?!?!?

OK, just blasted through episodes 10-12 and everything jelled really well. This show just gets better with every episode.

Let 'em try!

That was a bit corny. I am having a hard time seeing Kingpin as some suave, educated gangster. I also agree with the Claire character - not a huge fan of the way they handled her but then I've never been a big RD fan. It's not enough to put me off the show but those are a few more things I struggled with as well.

ASM 2 sucked so bad Sony asked for Marvel's help after the movie.

Dinner?

Before or after dinner?

I still do it that way. (thumbs u

I bought a cheap one just to own it. I don't have a good sense of smell but some guys roll their eyes in the back of their heads when they do it, apparently it's that good. Not saying they can't be manufactured, but there is more to the Church pedigree than just penciled codes (and that goes for many pedigrees - many of them have distinctive smells based on how the books were stored - for example, half of the Big Apple Pedigree smells like kerosene because the room the books were stored in smelled like kerosene). You might be able to slip one by a novice but someone who knows their Pedigrees is more likely to catch them.

There are some other tells including type of wear and aging and of course the smell, which many speak about and recognize. Also, there is chain of ownership and of course pics in the Gerber books, etc.

+1 His hair annoyed me in the trailers, but after watching the show (especially the college flash back), I got over that little bit. As far as acting, I think he did quite well. There are a few times in the show, not many, where it felt like actors acting. But part of that is it being a first season. There are lots of very successful shows, where you go back and watch them from the beginning and think...... wow, they hadnt found the character yet. You dont realize it at the time, but after many years of seeing them play a character, its noticeable when you go back. I always try to cut TV show first seasons a little bit of slack in that regard. I didn't like Foggy or Karen at first. All of the 'Foggy and Karen getting drunk on the town' scenes were bad, but as the series progressed, they both grew on me. Foggy is especially necessary because he injects a bit of levity into a dark, dark show. They needed someone for that without cheesing it up too badly. Overall, I liked them both. As I said before, my favorite Karen-centric scenes were those with Urich, so we'll see how she does in season 2. Man, what a great time to be a comics fan. Yeah, I found the drunk scenes to be horrific. I just stopped at the college scene last night so I'm not as far as most of you either and maybe that's why I don't feel the same way. Sounds like most of you have watched the entire run.

A) There were never going to be any boobies. B) Maybe draped over me.

That's a part of it. And it's definitely dated. But so is Batman (1989) and it's still an awesome time piece to watch.

Somehow I get the feeling you'd enjoy anything DD even if it was Doo Doo. This coming from me, who enjoyed the Affleck version. I saw it three times in the theater.

That is an excellent point. (thumbs u

Some female board members like boobies, I'm sure. I'm guessing that this is your effort to change the previous subject. I think the topic has been beaten to death and it's painful to watch. Nobody ever says they get tired of boobies, though. If you post that I might post a pic of myself lying on a rug.
