  1. I'm mostly okay with the casting. I would have preferred a more believable college football star type for Ben, but all in all, it could've been much worse. As I said in the other thread though, I hope Pedro at least starts the film with no beard.
  2. Sorry I missed the deadline. I would've had 8 points probably, bringing me up to 21.
  3. 5 points. Good thing I bumped up a couple at the last minute. Now the pressure is on for the next two rounds.
  4. Pedro better be beardless to start the film or I riot.
  5. Sign me up! I'll try not to drop out in the last round this time, although I wasn't too heartbroken about not finishing that last one.
  6. I did better, but I'm still overgrading too much. Weird, because in most previous contests I usually undergraded.
  7. I did the opposite of most, overgraded everything. I figured the detached staples were irrelevant in the grade range, but I guess I should've deducted a grade for them.
  8. Interesting to see Dave Cockrum's letter. A master of costume design commenting on how much he liked Electro's costume!
  9. Page 8, panel 1: How did Cap know what was happening while he was still frozen?
  10. When I'm at a con, I expect prices to be a little high. I look at it as I'm supporting the continued presence of dealers and comic conventions in general. It only takes one walkthrough to realize which dealers are sellers motivated to move product, and which would rather sell less books at higher markup. After a few years, I might even start to remember which are which!. I generally don't make offers, but gladly accept them with a sincere thank you! That said, I am that guy (old school), with his handwritten buy list on a piece of paper, and current GPA written down across a spread of grades. I generally like to make a little weekend vacation of it, so I understand that they have expenses like gas, hotel rooms and meals. Also some con dealers don't overprice, they overgrade the old-fashioned way! I prefer slightly more accurate grading with maybe a 10-15% markup. If I get a deal on a stack, BONUS!
