  1. So what you're saying is that you don't want a movie directed by a guy whose movies routinely make hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm no Bay fan but based on his track record a Lobo movie by him will likely be a smashing success. And you don't make that much money if your movies are unwatchable. They may not be your cup of tea (they aren't mine either) but you can't deny their success
  2. Best "two days, now one day, before my actual anniversary on a comic book message board that I haven't made a post on in almost a year and all the old gang showed up for" present evah! Old guys rock!
  3. divad wasn't a male sex organ to me when I joined. Was I the only one?
  4. 12 some odd years ago I ignored my better judgement and joined this trainwreck, psycho ward of a message board. #newboardsstillsuckass
  5. One of the great things about the G.I. Combat logo is that it never changed. https://www.google.com/search?q=gi+combat&tbm=isch&source=iu&pf=m&ictx=1&fir=cXY4bcDVvy834M%3A%2C76kdhOXEt0ehrM%2C_&usg=__dB8vy9gsni8R4RQR0haiRm6SYi0%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjMp5-Ox9fWAhVE64MKHVF1ALwQ_h0IhQEwDw#imgrc=_ Well, not until recently
  6. I like to read them drunk, upside down with a banana up my nose. (I have large nostrils)
  7. So this is not a thinly veiled "want to buy" thread posted in the wrong forum? I wanna know before I hump the button
  8. I believe you are missing the point Kevin is trying to make. There was time when comic book conventions were just comic books and comic book professionals. In some cases, these cons were very large and very well attended. I remember going to some Javits shows that were huge and did not contain superfluous non-comic book related content. I remember going to a couple Boston shows that were similar. Now, in fairness to you, you seem to be constructing a show that has comic books as a much lesser focus, and that's fine but please don't attempt to compare the content of a modern "fan expo" to comic book centered shows of old. There is no comparison. Perhaps those old time shows are no longer viable for the larger venues and that's a shame. Although, there are a couple that seem to still be bucking that trend, Baltimore for one and perhaps Chicago? (not sure about that one) Thank goodness for church basements rec halls indeed. That's where I'll be spending my money and time these days if I'm looking for a comic book centered event. And for the higher ticket items that I can't find at these smaller shows, the internet is a good source. I won't be attending events in the larger cities because when you factor in the costs and the travel for someone like me that just wants comic books, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. I wish you the best of luck (seriously, no sarcasm) in growing your brand into what you want it to be and I suppose changing the name to Fan Expo and removing "comic book" from it is a good first step.
  9. It wasn't a case of "need." Someone had the idea to create a virtual comic con. It was thought of as a neat and unique community event. If the new boards search function didn't suck a s s and only pull information from the last four years, I could try to find the specific thread where the idea was pitched/discussed.
