  1. Jessica reciting the litany while Paul is with the Reverend Mother is not in the book. I believe that is what the comment is referring to.
  2. Great dealing with Matt. My book arrived quickly and well packaged.
  3. This series really knocked it out of the park for me. Absolutely want more from this creative team.
  4. That is not a John Byrne drawing. Also, despite his ego, that signature is way too large.
  5. There is no switch to Jessica while the scene is occurring in the book. Like much of the expansion of this first half, I assume the decision was to enforce how much Jessica cares for Paul.
  6. Wow, I totally skimmed over that quote with the standard book version in my head!
  7. Watched and enjoyed the first 5 episodes. Never heard of the character until he was a build-a-figure in a Marvel Legends series. Jason Sudekis is excellent.
  8. I am guessing he memorized it from the book. I don't know anyone that read the book that doesn't have this burned in their memory.
  9. So far, so good. Getting logged out of the boards always seemed random, but lately it was every time I came back. It has been three days since I last had to log in.
  10. This happened the other day. I am on a Mac with Chrome. I found that if I go to my profile and log out of the entire CGC site, I can then log back in and avoid the issue. I previously tried deleting cookies and it did nothing.
  11. Picked up a couple of treasuries from Patrick. Arrived in great shape.
  12. Hawkman has always been a favorite of mine based on primarily the visual appeal. Even in JLA with rather bland art, he was a fun character to look at. Add the repeated reincarnations tying all incarnations together and you have a great character.
  13. I miss when Siskel & Ebert, and only a handful of other movie critics existed. The critically acclaimed bombs (and critically hated successes!) were not common. Usually the critics were right (e.g., Princess Bride). Now, every goober with a failed writer/director stick up their bum has a review. Dagnabbit, now I sound old.
  14. Many Kirby creations that are treated lightly would be terrifying. MODOK would not be funny at all!
  15. It is a clip of her messing around for Halloween. How is this a sample of her acting skills?
  16. I found the film quite beautiful to watch, but a bit too long and slow. They fell into the trap of picking a good stopping point for Part 1, and went too far to fill up time. I appreciate establishing the positive influence Leto and Duncan Idaho, but 20 minutes of Paul and Jessica meeting up with Kynes and Idaho could have been wrapped up during the attack. I know they wanted to avoid the opening "What You Need to Know", but that is the danger of trying to adapt a work like Dune. Entire historical points are provided in chapter preludes that people who have not read the book really need to know. My wife was still not clear who the Emperor was by the end. I believe Zendaya suffers from poor writing and directing in the Spider-Man films. She is excellent in Euphoria. The fight scenes are good, and they did a nice job showing the four or five Freemen take out a large number of Sardukar, but again, the film failed to establish how jaw-dropping a feat that is. Sardukar are established as unstoppable killing machines in the book, wiping out entire armies with a handful of men.
  17. I am wary of a third film now. WW1984 was just painful.
  18. Purchase a couple of Silvers. Pleasure to deal with. Well packaged and shipped quickly.
  19. Great communication. Happy with my purchase from Eli.
