    I’m on the verge of tears because I will not be making the show this year :frown: 

    Ive gone the past 3 years so skipping this year is tough. Too much going on to make it. I love my trip to Chicago from Des Moines once a year...just not in the cards this year. Sucks to miss On site subs. Don’t want to hassle anyone with facilitating. Hoping to make Planet Comic Con at the end of March.

    You don’t really think that’s some sort of command performance by Leto, do you?  It’s not even a very good movie.  I know lots of people flock to it and celebrate it and I’ll be railed on for daring to disparage Fight Club, but the story pretty much sucks.  It’s really not that clever and Leto doesn’t make it better.  And this scene is one of the worst in the movie but sure, yay!  It’s ultra-violent which makes it amazing, right?

    But what kind of a messed up lesson do you think the viewer learns from this?  What do they learn about other people?  Or heaven help us, what do you think they learn about themselves?  Terrible story.  But apparently spectacle is all that matters to most people.  Reminds me of the movie showing at the theater in Idiocracy...

    “The things you own end up owning you.”

    I hope not to get in a battle of opinions but dear God, the philosophical elements of Fight Club (the book too!!) are absolutely brilliant. It’s about freeing yourself, finding your true nature, playing with imagination, the beauty of destruction, the elements of personal relationships....

    Terrible story? WTF were you watching?  The passion ignited in me by that movie is a force to be reckoned with. If we were in the same room together I would stand with my fists in the air bellowing the beauty of this film with whatever intellectual or seemingly coherent verbiage I could find. I’m just a crazy weirdo who likes “Fight Club” ehhh???

    You like what you like and if you take something positive from his content then OK, but he seems inauthentic and a misinformation pumper. He’s getting a seemingly well deserved bad rep with many collectors on IG. He’s got a big YT account that’s why people find him so easily and some don’t know better. Seems like a D*** to me. 2c

    I’ve attempted to get some YouTube comic buddies over here but don’t think they’ve found a way to fit in. A couple were scrutinized for their passionate opinions on Newton Rings. 
     

    I’d guess they see oldies with high post counts and feel like they’ll never catch up and give up right away. It’s too bad...I know some veterans have big opinions around here but for the most part we all are friendly and welcoming as long as you don’t like an azz. Some newbies don’t even understand forum etiquette and start a basic thread that’s been discussed a million times or ask “What book should I buy to make $$$” and are teased and might not return.

    Big thanks to my secret santa (Mason AKA punksdropdirtysrh) who gave me a Batman 179 out of his collection!  I am very grateful to finally have a copy of this classic Riddler comic.  I love the Usagi hardcover books as well. (thumbsu

    Thanks so much to my secret Santa @Murphman13 !! So much good reads ahead of me. All stuff I have never read except the Epic collection, which is one of my favorite runs. Can’t have too much of that one, but might share it with a nephew of mine. 
     

    The classic Bloodshot HC is great, since I’d been on the fence about buying the new omnibus, and this will be a nice way to test the material. Always wanted to check out Aaron’s Punisher, and even as an avid Deadpool fan I’ve still not read Bad Blood. That might be the one I was most excited to see. Plus more Spidey goodness! :cloud9:

    Thanks again so much bud, you’ve really lifted my spirits. Participating in this event is typically my only way to give and receive comic related gifts so I look forward to it very much.
