  2. Just busy with life and very little time to process inventory. More of a lurker now days.
  3. I call BS. Tranny gets a free exhibitor wristband, you can't like him enough to miss him. Plus, he's just kind of boring.

  14. Eric is a great guy to deal with. No worries of any kind.
  15. Had a sales thread pointed out to me in the Copper/Modern forum. Apparently it's not the first one like it. Are some people really that clueless and unaware? ...or are they just purposely being as big a D as possible?
  16. There has not been a perfect superhero movie and I doubt there ever will be. The closest I believe Hollywood has come was with the Nolan Batman movies. Then the GOTG movie (I hated the "dance" scene at the end, but otherwise it was Marvel's best movie.) Most of the superhero movies, as movies, are just okay. Nothing ground breaking, but easily digestible for the masses. Now that I've had a day to digest what I saw yesterday, I cannot help but think this was a very ambitious movie and one I will have no problem watching again and again over the years, especially if there is a director's cut to flesh out some of the scenes. Melding two huge stories, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and the Death of Superman, is ambitious. I liked the style. It fit with the dark tone of the movie. The lack of humor was okay with me too. Again, it all fit with the tone that was being set. I've been reading reviews and such since I saw it yesterday and I posted my opinion here, so I'm quite surprised at some of the hate this movie has been getting. I can understand completely that this darker tone is not to everyone's liking. I am turned off by the tone of a movie like Ant Man, because it is too light hearted, IMHO comically so and it makes sense others will not like a darker movie. But, I wouldn't say Ant Man was a bad movie, just not a movie to my taste. But then, I am not one to go out and watch movies of similar ilk unless one of my kids is dragging me to see it. Some of the story choices were challenging, not unlike an art house movie. Momento and Mulholland Drive come to mind. Some people are going to like that and others will prefer a straight forward, paint by the numbers, story telling style. Both have their place. I'm not opposed to another Snyder directed DC movie, but I think his style is better suited for darker characters. I think he would do wonders with a Swamp Thing movie, for example. And if Snyder is ever tapped for a Marvel movie, I think Moon Knight would be a character he could translate to the big screen. My favorite scenes are: 1) Wonder Woman enjoying the battle with Doomsday. 2) Batman freeing Martha Kent. This is a Batman I would like to see more of. 3) Superman floating in space after being hit by the atomic explosion. This was right out of the comic book! 4) Superman in the Senate hearing after the blast killed everyone else in the room. 5) Superman taking out Batman's artillery when they began their big fight. (Him floating and using his eye beams to destroy the hardware.) 6) Superman and Batman's first confrontation after Superman rips the top off the Batmobile off. This movie was so full of comic book imagery, it was hard to take it all in. Did anyone else notice all the nods to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns? For example, the punk in the crowd with the spiked mohawk. Obviously the scene with Superman in space after the atomic explosion, Batman's armored suit, etc. I'm going to reread The Dark Knight Returns before my next viewing. Regardless of the critics, this movie is a huge win for DC. It is going to make money. It does a terrific job setting up the DC Cinemaverse. I've used the baseball analogy before. DC does not need to hit home runs every time they go up to bat. They should be happy with the singles, doubles, and triples. Marvel's first movies, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America were not home runs. This is DC's second movie in their cinemaverse and when stacked up against Marvel's second movie, this is absolutely a success. Marvel had to tweak things as they went and I would expect DC to do the same. DC took a short cut getting to where Marvel is at, and overall I think DC did a good job. While I would have preferred the slow buildup, it makes sense that they would want to capitalize on the superhero craze in Hollywood right now and not risk missing out on the money to be made with the genre. And avoid the obvious comparison to the path Marvel took. I cannot help but think comic fans are the real winners here. Marvel and DC characters, coming to life on the big screen with huge budgets, is a dream come true. I hope both Marvel and DC continue to take chances with these movies too, capture the best of what they've published over the years and let director's run with those ideas. Great post! Agree.
  17. It's well known that books often sell for more off the boards than on the boards. I can't count how many times it's happened, but enough times to know that it's true. Unless you need statistics. Then I can't help you. You forgot to mention PQ. Just sold my X-men #109 CGC 9.8 for over $300 more at auction than my asking price on the CGC boards. I enjoy listing my new CGC books here first to get some quick sales, but whatever doesn't sell here there is always other venues to sell ones books at a quick turnaround pace. I rarely offer books for sale here anymore. When I do, I never bother to bump the thread or discount because they almost always sell for more somewhere else. (even with fees)
