GoldenEye is making its return to home consoles with a release on XBOX (Game Pass only for individual, Rare Replay owners get it free of charge/with future purchase of said collection. So far no details on whether you can purchase the game by its lonesome.) and Nintendo Switch.

that was hilarious, thank you for posting this.

It is certainly a really great format that really preserves the production values of the film when done right in terms of aspect ratio and color palette (that is when the restoration is done right and we don't have any directors/restorers who think they're "artistes"). The 4Ks of Escape from New York, Spartacus, Gattaca, and For a Few Dollars More have been personal favorites. May your UHD experience be prosperous and your physical media collection bountiful!

Ironically I learned of Moorcock through the fact the American heavy metal band Cirith Ungol used the artist for his books on their album covers. Lo and behold it only took four years, but I finally read Elric of Melniboné! (Not a fan of Gaiman's foreword though ).

Looks interesting. Having Peter Weller involved is obviously a nice pull, just hopefully the interface isn't as spartan as the trailer makes it out to be:

Never knew he did those Kiss album covers.

He also did Ace's Space Invader record in 2014 which I thought was pretty neat as a sort of throwback.

Shame to see the man pass as his artwork was phenomenal

Yes, we love the print versions of our comics and we love to discuss different artists’ versions of our beloved characters but now that the film versions are reaching important milestones, like the 20th anniversary of Tobey Maguire as the web slinger, we can finally discuss the importance of this adaptation.

So, 20 years on, is the 2002 version of Spider-Man, the best movie adaptation of the character? Is it the best superhero movie ever (at least amongst all the Marvel character adaptations)? Where does the movie sit in your opinion amongst the canon 20 years later?

The movie itself may not be the best adaptation of the Arachknight, but Maguire definitely gave the character that humanistic aspect that made the character so relatable to youths (both past and present) in the first place. Definitely not the best superhero movie ever (Marvel or no), but still pretty exceptional as far as films from the early 2000s go, with Peter's constant grappling of morality (whether it was his relationship with Uncle Ben, saving Mary Jane or the kids, or even his dealing with Green Goblin/Norman, et cetera et cetera) as well as the cathedral fight being my personal highlights from the film. I personally am happy that it's around nonetheless and along with 2 has a very special place in my heart as being a "zoomer" (to put in the parlance of our times) I grew up with these films and they developed my interest in comic books by and large (although if we want to get into personal favorites of Stan Lee's actual work in the books I treasure his work on Fantastic Four tenfold in comparison to the Spidey comics).

SkyBox 1995 Batman Holo Series promo card.  This card features Batman and Joker.

I believe this card to be in less than NrMint condition because the edges show some slight wear from shipping and storage.

$2, PLUS SHIPPING

add to my pile!

The Crow Exclusive Limited Edition trading card, #1 of 1.  This promo card originally came packaged with the VHS release of The Crow back in 1994.  It is difficult to find, and it still has the original The Crow t-shirt offer card attached.  I did NOT want to separate the two halves, although the perforation is a bit weak.  This comes as a panel...they will not be separated. 

I believe the actual promo card to be in no better than NrMint condition.  There is a slight paper 'ding' on the top, front edge.  The offer card has a few issues, but I doubt anyone would get that graded.  The upper right corner is bent and the lower right corner is lightly blunted (looking from the front of the card).  Because this is a panel, it will not be shipped in a typical penny sleeve or top loader.  I'll have to be creative in how I package it, but it will be safe and secure (see my Kudos thread for my OCD shipping. LOL).

$12 SHIPPED

take.

I'm a Gen X-er, so I was playing in arcades in the 80s.  My first console game was Duck Hunt.  The last game I played was Assassins Creed Valhalla.  I still love playing games, but I avoid online stuff.  I've owned every Playstation...now the proud owner of a PS5 Digital.  Can't wait for Horizon Forbidden West.  I still love the classic arcade games, but I haven't been to Dave and Busters in about 3 years.  You can drink Guinness while playing Galag!!! 

Words can't express how much I miss Mortal Kombat(s) 1-3, Rampage World Tour, the first two Gauntlet games, and the T2 arcade game.

Veering off the arcade side of things, though, Baldur's Gate, Morrowind, Fallout 1&2, and the Wizardry series have kept me on PC as an overall mainstay. I'll probably be skipping the PS5/XSX gen assuming this isn't the last, though. Some highlights that I definitely enjoyed on the PS4 were the Metro series, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, RDR2, Witcher III, and Days Gone. Truly a wonderful decade for gaming the 2010s was.

eh, honestly never been a fan of Miles Morales, so I might pass on this. Glad Kraven is finally getting some public exposure, and also from what I've heard Tony Todd from Candyman will be voicing Venom (not Eddie Brock, though). Hopefully they make the open world have some more quests, too. Graphics look gorgeous!

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "bad" (in the context of being low quality in writing, production etc.), I'd say most of it I've seen in one form or another and am generally just sticking to the original concepts or formats. Regardless though, I do love streamers for the bulk of catalogue movies (which I'm happy that they didn't get shafted or left to rot along the passages of time just because of preconceptions of people in my age demographic or people under the age of forty having never heard of one title or another) and it helps make it easier to discover new gems for my blu ray library (I am also forever indebted to Kino Lorber and Criterion for their remarkable eye and taste for such films) as well as not having to worry about those pesky streamers "tweaking" certain films to appease modern audiences .

So many good stories could have been told in 7-9.  Didn't use even one.

I know, I would've loved to see the Yuuzhan Vong. That would've been thrilling as trilogy arc if they properly molded it!
