Freud would probably say your experience reading that book as a child was what caused all the problems in your life. I got a copy for free when I bought the painting, and it certainly could be described as a horror of a different kind. I bought it at the estate sale of a psychologist who had also owned the painting of the wolves. Mine is just a small landscape of a river and is truly unimpressive, but the story is interesting.

Unrelated, but at a cross section of collecting things and Freud related objects I recently procured an original painting by one of Freuds most famous patients Sergei Pankejeff, or as he's better known the Wolf Man. It's not an incredible piece of art, nor am I a follower of Freuds, but I think the history of the whole topic is interesting, and it's a neat conversation piece if anybody asks about the inconspicuously small painting on my wall. To further the topic I'll add, collecting is fun. If owning or obtaining something makes you happy, do it. I'm sure if you want a deep rooted psychoanalysis for collecting one could say growing up not having as much in comparison to ones peers, and now being able to afford most anything you want and trying to fill that void is probably up there. I'm sure it all stems from primitive hunter gatherer instincts subconsciously like value, scarcity, visual appeal, nostalgia, the drive for information and understanding, and whatever else you can come up with all being hardwired in your brain. That said it's a complex intersection of many things to many people, and I don't think you could distill the experience down to the same impetus for everyone. Really though I'm just a simple person, I like buying cool stuff.

War movies are still pretty hot in today's theaters. A lot of good ones have come out since Fury too, 1917, Darkest Hour, Hacksaw Ridge, Dunkirk, or if you want something with Sci fi or comedy there's Overlord or Jo Jo Rabbit, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Now if Marvel could bring back the western that would be a true feat. Two Gun Kid, Kid Colt, Rawhide Kid or Phantom Rider movies would be interesting to see on the big screen. There hasn't been a really good western in about a decade at this point, I think Lone Ranger was their last big one to see screens and it was such a bomb Disney is gun shy to do any more.

Picked up a little run of some Starlin goodness.

It's basically the story of two competing comic book stores vying to obtain a "mile high" level comic book collection. One the smaller local who appreciates the books for their history, the other high falutin snobby comic shop out for the almighty dollar, both doing whatever they can (legal or not) to obtain their treasure trove from an elderly woman who just found the collection among her recently deceased sons belongings. It's not a cinematic masterpiece but there aren't a lot of movies out there about comic collecting, and the cast is pretty decent.

Ever seen the 2002 film Comic Book Villains? Not exactly the same concept but your plot certainly sounds like it could be a sequel to it.

I'll clean up this rounds leftovers

You can add this one too at $3 that's a great Kang cover

The ensemble cast really does look outstanding all the way across the board. Seeing the deviants finally is good. I want to know what's going on between Kro and Thena. Ikaris is obviously our main character I'm just wondering if the plot leak is going to hold up or if they're going to change it based on the audience feedback like I also heard. I think this will be a movie full of lore and character development and the action will come second, which I'm totally fine with. Not every movie has to be explosions on top of explosions and car chase scenes.

I'll take a FN/VF copy of 10, 11 and 12 please

I'm on the fence on the suit it definitely stands out amongst the rest of the MCU, and I'm sure it'll grow on me once I see it finished. The D+ shows are way more adventurous in the costuming department. I think it could be equally likely if they go the D.I.D. route the different personalities see Moon Knight in different ways. So one may see Mr. Knight, another may see a more heroic classic MCU costume. Between Lockley, Grant, and Spector they could each experience their own reality

This thread just turned old enough to buy cigarettes and vote, it might have been better left unbumped

I'm getting impatient my power has been out since Wednesday so I haven't been able to watch yet
