    This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection

    in Comics General

    Posted

    That's the Brazilian Batman from Estrela. That must have cost a pretty penny! And I thought my Clark Kent figure made me a hardcore Super Powers enthusiast...
    Yeppers! I remember seeing the advertisements for the Batman movie toys when I was a child that looked like the repainted Super Powers Batman and was super excited - then, when the actual movie toys came out I remember going, "Oh, it must have been a prototype or something, dang." I only discovered teh Estrela version in the past year and all my gf's family lives in Brazil so they managed to track one down for me! :-D Pretty damn good condition too!

     

    Ps. I have Clark Kent as well. None of series 3 though :(

    multiple drivers I know make 6 figures

     

    What parts of the country do they live/drive in?

    How many years with the company?

    What kind of hours per work week are they putting in?

     

     

     

    And I believe an employee of Fed ex is also chimed in this thread

     

    dats true. 14hrs a day, 5 days a week will pull u in that kinda dough, but trust me, u can forget about any sort of a social life (which is why I'm a comic nerd)(No time for chicks) :hi:

     

    What good is money without time? (shrug)

     

    I tell myself that on a daily basis, but trust me, it aint easy to walk away from albeit its tempting at times. The divorce rate is also pretty high as you'd imagine.

    Both my spouse and I work in film ... up that to 6, sometimes 7 days a week and that's our average work week. The same can be said about that career. However, the people whom I've met that successfully managed to keep their relationships alive tend to be ones who date / marry within that field because they get it. Your average 'normal' working person just doesn't understand why you have to work those hours.

     

    Porno? :wishluck:

    haha...no, we definitely wouldn't have to work those hours if we worked in porn.

    Seth Rogen to make Preacher for AMC?

    in The Movie Forum

    Just finished watching episode 5.

     

    I'm just not liking the direction this is going.

     

    When I read the comics I always thought of Jesse, Cassidy, and Tulip as my friends. I liked the three of them. I cared about what happened to them in the story.

     

    After 5 episodes I'm not sure that I like any of the 3 of them. The one I like the least might be Jesse, and he's the one we're supposed to like the most.

     

    After what he did to Eugene, he better turn this thing around really quick or no one is going to like him. The show will crash and burn very fast if the viewers can't stand the Preacher.

     

    I find it ironic that the young Eugene understands the concept of "choice" better than the Preacher.

     

     

    This show is on the bubble for me. I thought about dropping it after tonight's episode, though I'm interested enough in what happens to Eugene to come back. Eugene and Cassidy are the only two characters that are at all interesting to me.

     

    Since there's only ten (?) episodes this season, I may just see it through to the end, but, unless it gets meaningfully better from here, I'd say it's probable that I'll drop out after that.

    I agree w you. It's starting to annoy me. For 50 something issues, the 3 of them were 'partners', if you will, and then their friendship starts to deteriorate after you've really gotten to know them. The TV series is having their relationship deteriorate almost immediately while knowing little to nothing about them. Except that Jessie is stubborn and stupid, Cassidy is into drugs and Tulip about not doing enough crime....

     

    My guess is they wanted to cram as much into season 1 as possible in case they didn't get a season 2 and I'm hopeful it'll get back on track when they actually start searching for God....but is that actually going to be a plot device now since every character they run into along the way seems to reside in Anneville?

     

    The producers have gone on record many times and said this is a set up for issue 1 of the comic. Season two will basically start at issue 1. They felt there were holes there that wouldn't be understood, so they added this. Something big is coming, there is no doubt, and I have totally put my faith in these guys to get it right. I love it regardless.

     

    Jay

    Well, that's totally fair but they have also gone on record with Ennis saying they have re-written a bunch of it much like Walking Dead did to it's main story.

     

    If what you are saying is true and Season 2 follows the comic more closely - that'll be awesome.

     

    It would make sense budgetary wise as they would conceivably get a boost for Season 2 and be able to actually go nuts or more nuts as it were.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow Ads Two Mystery Heroes

     

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow will add a pair of new characters to its Season Two roster, both of whom sound like DC Comics superheroes, per a casting call reported at TVLine.

     

    The characters, being touted as series regulars for next year, show that World War II (or at least that time period) will be a key part of the second season, possibly throwing fuel on the fire of rumors that Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, will be the caped mystery hero who appears at the end of Season One.

     

    "A male in his late-20s to mid-30s is being sought to play a guy who grew up in the shadow of his World War II hero grandfather and has used a Han Solo-like facade to conceal his insecurity — until, that is, the development of super powers enables him to love up to his family legacy."

     

    And "the female member of an elite paramilitary team living in the 1940s. An African-American, she is scrutinized in her time for both her gender and race and thus has worked twice as hard to be a perfect soldier. That said, she blames herself for — and aims to avenge — the death of a team member for whom she had repressed feelings."

     

    :whee:

    i *believe* this is to replace Captain Cold and Heatwave who've moved back to Prison Break

    THE FLASH's Tom Cavanagh Says SUPERGIRL Is Headed To Vancouver

     

    Just yesterday, reports came in that Warner Bros. were considering on cutting the budget for Supergirl and having the show make a jump from CBS to the CW. For Warner Bros. to move a show to a different network might seem risky, but it wouldn't be hard, considering both networks participate in a joint venture. It seemed like it was more likely for the show to have its budget cut rather than to move it to a different network, but a recent interview with The Flash's Tom Cavanagh suggests that Supergirl might actually make her way to the CW.

     

    "We like to call it an empire," Cavanagh said jokingly about the CW's superhero presence in Vancouver. "I think Supergirl is coming up there next week, Legends [of Tomorrow] shoots up there, Arrow shoots up there, all the superheroes shoot up there." Cavanagh could be reffering to the show possibly planning another crossover, but from the previous reports and the show's ratings not being what Warner Bros. and CBS was hoping for, it's more than likely that the Girl of Steel is headed to the CW.

     

    :wishluck:

    Oh good, someone else opened their mouth first. Yeah, I've heard it is moving here as well

    So Bats, if SG. Is renewed, any idea how that works there? Does it actually start airing with a huge delay or does that come at the mid-season break?
    I guarantee if it's renewed it'll start airing around either the same time Flash / Arrow airs or when Legends of Tomorrow season 2 airs - really depends if they order 20 something episodes for season 2 or if they do a half-season like LOT.
