  1. Any Canadians know where to watch the entire finale on-line? Severe thunderstorms in my area last night, so my satellite was either out or had unwatchable signal quality during broadcast. There are no repeat airings that I can find. CTV and the Bell app only have the second half on-line, and I can't find it on Netflix, Crave, or Amazon Prime... EDIT - Hooray! CTV now has the first half on-line. :P
  2. The same thing has happened to me before - a few times in fact. Usually it's a case of someone claiming to use a "stock photo" since they have multiple copies in the same grade (and thinking that all books with the same grade are equal). However, it's still a bait-and-switch. Especially if the "stock photo" is a perfectly centered newstand version and you end up with a miswrapped direct version, as happened to me once...
  3. Once on the list, the only way off is if the offended party agrees to remove them. So, basically on the list forever as it currently stands.
  4. Just a heads up for any Canadians interested... Doom Patrol airs Tuesday evenings on the Space network, which I think is pretty commonly bundled in cable packages.
  5. One of the movie reviews I read earlier today says that there are no end credit scenes. None of the other reviews mentioned end credit scenes at all...
  6. I've found it to be an amusing diversion. I agree that it does remind me a lot of the days when I used to read Heavy Metal regularly.
  7. I enjoyed the movie. 7/10, definitely worthwhile seeing. As for my opinion of the various WW vs CM comparisons, I think Gadot's portrayal of Wonder Woman was better than Larson's portrayal of Captain Marvel. However, I enjoyed the Captain Marvel story far more than that of Wonder Woman.
  8. I'm currently about halfway through the third / final season... All I can say is "Wow, this is great". Easily the best season in the series and the best of all the Marvel-Netflix shows. I can't understand why they'd cancel a show this good. I also can't understand how the same studio that produced this could also turn out carp like Iron Fist. Seems like a massive range in quality... :P
  9. I actually thought they had the best part of the cross-over... Gideon: While you were out, you missed emergency phone calls from Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, and Kara Zor-el Nate: (sigh) Sounds like the annual cross-over again. Hard pass.
  10. ^ What he said... :P I'm really hoping (in vain) that they'll port it over to PC or XBox.
  11. Yeah, he came across much better in Luke Cage 2. His character seemed to have matured a lot from IF1 and the Defenders. He wasn't the same whiny, petulant, "act first, think later" jerk from those earlier appearances. If they manage to keep writing him in the same style, he might turn into a half-way decent character.
  12. I doubt I'll ever make a purchase bigger than this one... I bought this one here on the boards for $8500 about 10 years ago.
  13. It airs aired on Sunday evenings here. I'm not sure what day everyone else sees saw it on, though...
  14. At the very least, I'd hope someone would do a 2-hour movie to wrap up that cliffhanger...
  15. It's available on Netflix. At least in Canada... I didn't even realize it was on a Network - Netflix sent me a "show you might like" email, so I assumed it was a Netflix original.
  16. Seems kind of odd that the RCMP would simply close the case because the stolen property got returned. Perhaps this is simply a case of them not taking things seriously because the property in question is a bunch of comic books? If someone stole my car for a few months and then it was mysteriously returned, I'd still want the thief caught and dealt with appropriately.
  17. So the little girl with the drawings from the Fitz & Hunter episode?
  18. Well that was both entertaining and somewhat different than what I was expecting. Looking forward to another great season. Hopefully Fitz resurfaces at some point, though.
  19. You could always opt for ASM 134, the Punisher's equivalent to Wolverine's Hulk 180.
  20. I really hope someone fries Netflix over the sleazy email promo they sent just out... "Suspicious Activity" alert as the title, morphs into a Punisher advert when you open it.
  21. I just assumed it was because Deckard had taken to beekeeping in his "retirement"... Plus it sets up an Easter Egg throwback to the "You see a wasp crawling on your hand" line from the original movie. Rachel immediately responded with "I'd kill it" while K just watches the bee. Who had the human response and who had the replicant response?
  22. I went to see it at the IMAX last night. It may be 2h 43min, but the time flew past and the story really draws you in. I don't really want to go into details, as I don't think I'd be able to discuss the plot without spoiling it for others... I was worried that a sequel to one of my favorite movies would be nothing but a letdown, but I REALLY enjoyed it. I think this one will we well received by fans of the original.
  23. I'll be curious if the "5 years ago" flashbacks go to events of Season 1 that we weren't privy to...
  24. Yeah, I've seen a few teasers for this game over the past few months. Looking like the best Spidey game since the old Spider-man 2 movie tie-in. I'm just pissed that there's no Xbox version. I'm not likely to buy a PS4 just to play a single game.
  25. Another aspect to consider, and one I don't often see mentioned, is the currency exchange situation. Books like this are always valued in $US. If your native currency fluctuates significantly against the US dollar, this sort of investment can be a good currency hedge. As an example, my AF15 6.0 was purchased back in '08 when the US and Canadian dollars were effectively at par. Nine years along, and the exchange rate is 1 $US : 1.35 $CDN, meaning I've got an effective 35% gain on top of the $US price appreciation in my native currency. So my 8.5k $US/$CDN has appreciated to 50k $US / 67.5k $CDN. The rapid appreciation may be driven in part by a lot of non-US investors looking for an asset that will not only continue to appreciate, but will also give them exposure to a strong $US.
