  1. My first bit of advice would be to keep Kylo Ren's wardrobe as is, rather than have him start dressing like Liberace. In the get up they put Snoke in, I wouldn't have batted an eye if he had interrupted one of his diatribes to grab a mic and launch into "Viva Las Vegas".
  2. My normal process with new releases these days tends to be "Hey, x is at theatres now!" Then 5 months pass, and my wife comes home with the blu ray. So yes, I finally saw The Last Jedi last night. And I...ummm...yeah...I kind of feel like I got saved from watching Attack of the Clones again only because of the big four (Ridley, Driver, Boyega, and Isaac) making the best out of a lousy --script. The Force Awakens certainly had some faults, but it felt like we had finally gotten another "real" Star Wars movie (meaning IV-VI). With actual acting to elicit real emotion from the crowd (not Hayden Christensen endlessly whining like a little twerp). Heck, when TFA first hit cable TV, I found myself dropping whatever I was doing to watch the rest of it on more than one occasion. But on first viewing of The Last Jedi, it seems like a movie that was very well premised conceptually, but really poorly executed. Trying to do too much at once, and doing it all at a merely average level (at best). And Luke? Totally botched. I will watch TLJ again, if for no other reason than to fully wrap my head around what I saw, but it definitely won't be a drop everything and watch type of event. I definitely find myself hoping Disney isn't tied to Rian Johnson and will seek out someone new to helm Episode 9.
  3. I recommend going to theonion.com and searching “Joe Biden”. Some of the greatest parody work ever.
  4. Agreed. Boardie was probably making a couple bucks serving as the middle man, so the onus is on boardie to deal with third party “friend”. You upheld your part of the agreement.
  5. Maybe they’ve gone in a new direction and the movie is really about a power outage in Arizona now...
  6. Yes, he should be wearing Doc Martens and an Abercrombie sweatshirt.
  7. I see eyes that look too much like visor lenses and teeth that scream for a dental check up. I don’t know man, I still think Venom is looking too fake in the early going.
  8. You sir, have won the internet today.
  9. Topher Grace was cast as Eddie Brock. TOPHER. FREAKIN'. GRACE. Nothing, in every sense of the word, can ever be worse than Spider-Man 3.
  10. If only. You know he’s got at least twelve PGX 9.9 Action #1s listed on his insurance policy. Should more than pay the replacement cost of a two bit operation.
  11. until

    Indeed, they moved C2E2 back to the much hated March dates for 2019 (29th-31st to be exact). Reportedly overlaps with WonderCon and Planet Comicon, and if MLB keeps with this year's schedule pattern, will also conflict with my only religious holiday. Yorktown is an easy drive, so I'll plan to pop in next year and see what's what.
  12. The mood in here is getting far too tense. So here's a cute picture of our dogs (well two of them anyway)...
  13. Seconded. Sim-by-oat? No. Just no. Go shop at Sur la Ta-bleh and get out of this movie. As for Venom's look - the teeth keep bugging me. They just look...plastic I guess? The poster is where its at.
  14. What would be your reasoning? If its solely because we suspect the seller is using a shill, I'd handle that through eBay customer support rather than the feedback forum.
  15. I agree, though I'm surprised dude doesn't have any bid retractions.
  16. Kinda looks like foam rubber with drinking straw teeth (again, on a phone).
  17. Gotta agree, with the caveat I’m watching on my phone. “We are Venom” gives me hope though.
  18. Have them singed instead. Preferably by a contributor with a quality lighter.
  19. Fixed it for you. Based on the gusto you have for these sick examples of capitalism at its very worst, and since its all you post about, I'm starting to think you're one of the vultures circling around Stan on a daily basis. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if you had a good percentage, if not all, of the remaining DNA ink copies that those Station price gouging mills pulled off the shelves safely stashed away somewhere in your house and are just chomping at it to cash them in. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if you're Jerry Olivarez himself. Regardless, buy yourself a freakin' conscience.
  20. In all honesty, I don't know how they're going to pull this off with the original cast. Linda Hamilton is 61, and according to "Rise of the Machines" her character was dead by 2003. Arnold is 70, and I have a hard time believing that SkyNet would put an R&D emphasis on the pros and cons of putting septuagenarian looking terminators into production. Star Wars at least had timeline continuity in its favor in order to bring back the vintage cast for episodes VII and VIII. But for Terminator...are they rebooting back to the 1984 film? Good luck making that work. Are we fast forwarding to nowadays through some alternate time fork? Eeeesh. Maybe working forward from 1992, and forgetting all subsequent TV and film projects ever happened? Seems like that might be the best way forward.
  21. My budget thanks you @thirdgreenham, my heart kept trying to convince my brain to buy this one.
  22. Hotter than Bitcoin...which has lost half its value since December. Skim milk is hotter than Bitcoin. But you sound like an expert. Why not buy a couple of these rare commodities and stash them for ten years? Surely you can put two more zeroes on your investment in that time.
  23. This calls for a special label annotation - "Signed & Sketched, sans pants, by..."
  24. I'll take that action if you'll partake in my "The Bears' GM is a insufficiently_thoughtful_person" thread...
