  1. I love how people can extrapolate the plot of a two hour movie from a two minute trailer and leave themselves disappointed. Clever people. doh!

     

    No different from extrapolating the plot from a 2 minute clip and then recommending it for an Academy Award. Doh, c'mon man that's what the trailers are for. Generate buzz and conversation.

  2. I thought it was entertaining but could have been better. I will at least watch a couple more episodes. I did like the extremis tie-in from IM3, but the only way I see this show surviving is if they have some marvel superheroes. Even a cameo from RDJ would have made this much better.

     

    Yup, cameo's are going to be critical to this show and keeping it in the Marvel Universe. A few toys in the opening scene is not going to cut it in the future. Nick Fury is SHIELD and has to show up at least once or twice.

    I am very envious of people's nice comic rooms.

    I find myself packed into a room with 10,000 comics and barely enough room to walk.

    Do others have this problem?

     

    I used to, but when we made our final move to Florida my wife agreed to buy a house with an extra room so I could finally set up my "space". I posted pictures previously but will update as soon as some OA gets back from the framer's shop.

  4. I happened to check out the FS thread this morning and saw the Micronauts 9.8W for sale...which immediately brought back flooding memories of this... :grin:

    I remember desperately asking Santa for the Micronauts Battle Cruiser...I wanted it so badly...think my parents had to run all over looking for it, but there it was Christmas morning...and it was KICK AZZ! :cloud9: I loved this thing...especially the ship could fire the two side rockets and then had two smaller firing rockets that you could attach to the tail. Plus it was motorized...this was awsome...I played with it for years...although I did loose if for some time. You could pry off the orange heads of the rockets and essential fire the "sticks" --- they flew much faster and farther (essentially you could use the rocket launchers as hand guns :devil: ...all until I decided to shoot my younger brother...mom took 'em away for a while :cry:

     

    Anyway, this was the best toy I ever had...what say you....PS anyone else have this beast!!!!!

     

    Loved my Micronauts. Never got the love they deserved. Spent days playing with them!!!! Great memories!!!

  5. I gotta say, in my 5 or 6 years of being on the board, I've seen some pretty awesome collections displayed. HOWEVER, no offense, but I have come to the conclusion that the majority of comic book/merchandise collectors (or at least the ones showcasing their collection here) lack any sort or aesthetic sensibility. Just sayin' :D

     

    Aesthetic sensibility? I don't know what that is but you can't call me that!!! Just kidding, I always just wanted a place to put out "my stuff" and be able to go through my books and chill. I actually enjoy looking at other people's aesthetic sensibility or lack thereof. lol Now back to our regular programming.................................
