  1. "Gadot says she recently spoke to filmmaker James Gunn— who has now moved from Marvel to DC—and was assured that there will be another edition of the franchise and that she will be a part of it. “I was invited to a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran [co-chairperson and CEO of DC alongside Gunn] and what they told me, and I’m quoting: ‘You’re in the best hands. We’re going to develop Wonder Woman 3 with you. [We] love you as Wonder Woman— you’ve got nothing to worry about.’ So time will tell,” Gadot smiles, confident about her future with DC." No rumor here. And beyond that's what you heard, but that's not what I said kind of lipstick on a pig. They're not even bothering to go that lame route. The art of the Hollywood diss is unknowable to a plebe like myself - but I would imagine that this "exclusive" disavowal from unknown but verified sources (Gunn's office of course, who else) to the traditional mouthpiece Variety without any reference to the meet is the rudest, most embarrassing way to deliver the smackdown in a town where face and optics are everything.
  2. keep em coming boss maybe push the promos to the promo thread and, no love for the love books? talk about a road less traveled 20 years ago
  3. Schomburg - all sizzle, no steak. Jon Juan is what you get when you turn him loose inside. And what's with Cap's open mouth all the time. He's yelling something, what in heck is he going on about? "BUY MY BOOK!" /sarc
  4. "Watching a primer for an HR seminar" Lol. And would that be a bug...or a feature? Has replaced the age old questions for comic geeks as weve gotten older, that being Betty or Veronica? Ginger or MaryAnn? Thor or the Hulk?
  5. Back in the day was considered a minor grail. Now, with 23 universal and 3 restored, not as much. Still, a decent mid grade copy, very difficult to find in the wild. Congrats!
  6. Zoe Saldana in Special Ops: Lioness, Sheridan's latest project on Paramont, is fantastic btw. Gamora was not the best use of her talent. Sheridan's done the writing so far, 3 episodes up, top notch, and as usual his casting choices are superb.
  7. Such a bad look for you, krapping on the floor of your host's house. Even if you're right, level up, for goodness sake. Your love for the medium is obvious, your knowledge base deep and wide. Yet this one note stuff is, as Richard has said, tiresome.
  8. Lol. Quite the unforced error. A lowly paralegal would have shown more focused research skills! I expect we will remain unabashed? Duck, you do deserve a little leg pulling after chiding Billy. I take it you are unfamiliar with Sheridan's body of western work? No Wind River or Hell or High Water? No Yellowstone, 1883, or 1923?
  9. If you have a FedEx account you can redirect shipments coming from the auction houses to a FedEx office and pick it up personally. Same with CGC, to some states. Not Calufornia though.
  10. Thanks to all for your western picks. Don't like to derail a specific thread, but decided to take the opportunity to pick the hive brain. Love me some westerns, both printed and visual media.
  11. previous attempts by others to share data with Overstreet about promos could not even get a response
  12. Zegler's disdain for the source material, heard in the interview, tells you all you need to know. Its not laziness or a con job to make some cash. Obliterating the values of the classic is the purpose of the project. Soon the original will have a cultural warning attached to it for the future viewer. It will be held up, not as a classic, but a classic example of misogyny and body mocking from a hateful bygone era.
  13. Get a policy with Collectibles Insursnce. Then mail via FedEx Signature. If something starts to go wrong you can deal with a human being in real time. Simply impossible with USPS.
  14. There were file copies prior to '51 - Picture Stories for example. And no explanation was ever sought (!) by those avid collectors Overstreet and Cochran or given as to the absolute lack of copies for the three romance titles - Modern Love, Moon, A Girl...Romance, and Saddle Romances. 15 issues. Nada. If pressed, I'd say it reflects Gaines' disdain for the romance genre - and the unprecedented money grab it represented by all publishers in 1949-1950. In an industry where imitation was not only business as usual, but the business model itself. So clearly shown by the "farewell" mocking story in the last issue of EC's three title romance run, Modern Love #8, "The Love Story to End ALL Love Stories!".
  15. Overstreet has got the comic universe completely mapped out at this point...except for promos. A mere fraction. Tired of the same ol same ol? Want a collecting challenge? Go promo. In grade.
  16. Great series. From the first scene of the first episode to the last shot of Season 1. Great casting, acting, natural location shots with intricate sets and flawless CGI. Diversity that is not tone deaf, gratuitous, or in your face pandering, like the black female dwarf in Rings of Power, and other productions like it. If there was ever a source material that leaned into girl boss men bad, Wheel is it. From the get go - men broke the world. And yet Wheel doesnt go there beyond the narrative's logic. How refreshing. Rosamund Pike's hand is all over this show. Lead actress and producer and it shows. She also narrates the audio books. Now that's committing to a project.
  17. Probably going to MCS - reach out prior to if interested
