  1. wow, sure glad we already have a thread for this!
  2. dammit why can't we get comics on Wednesdays? means a double trip to town for me and it'll probably rain tomorrow. Deadpool in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
  3. Lols, you paid for Fracture. edit: and The Wheelman.
  4. yeah he only did 4. Good times.
  5. I had a sweet ass idea for my book. Yay for finding ways to subvert cliché!
  6. District 13 or: inexplicably topless frenchman jumps off things alot . Quality stunt film in the vein of Ong Bak- only this time it's free running instead of Martial Arts taking center stage. Considering how none of this was done with wires, CGI or doubles, it's frankly astonishing. The cod political plot is total bullshit, and the acting is mediocre at best but that doesn't matter at all. Tis merely a vehicle for the action. One thing that did annoy me was the poor sound mix. Maybe it was a budget thing but considering how much action there was, some sound work really sounded weak. Punches, foot scuffs and general body sounds seemed oddly far back in the mix given the subject matter. Great fun though, for a slice of nonsense.
  7. the counter argument is that, by exercising restraint, Amos would have crafted a tighter, more complete album rather than releasing a series of songs on disc.
  8. ....with about as little tact as I could possibly imagine.
  9. is #33 the Allen one? possibly my favourite. in other news: President Obama Vetoes Mutant Registration Act
  10. How I Met Your Mother season finale. Good episode, but not great. I was hoping for more drama or a bigger cliffhanger. It's still a quality show though. Definitely looking forward to the next season.
  11. I think Gameswipe might be next. Winz.
  12. Not touching it. Not not not not not!
  13. Emma and Kitty = best cat fight in history.
  14. I dunno, I really liked her New X Men leathers. That looked like body armour. also: say what you will about X-Treme X Men but the costumes were so good.
  15. I never liked Jean's 90s garb. maybe it was the barbie doll physique but it kind of looked preposterous. Archangel was a triumph though. As was Rogue. Gambit was...kind of cool? garish, but he was a baddass.
  16. I have to say I *really* liked those black and yellow leathers they had. Cassiday's 'back to super heroes' worked really well too- especially Cyclops and Beast. Wasn't as keen on Cyclops though- seems almost nobody can redesign the man since the 70s. edit; well, mostly
  17. nobody famous but there's a couple of writers, ex editors etc with industry reps on a couple of forums I've joined. He wrote a few articles on how to pitch, too, so that's a good sign.
  18. is that Mystique? in other news: some guy from the industry just gave me mad props on the pitch I wrote. Hoo-rah!
  19. ooh good one. Gotta go for: Cyclops Sage Beast Nightcrawler Rogue Kitty Emma Frost
  20. I've not read anything past the end of Whedon's run. Once you're out the loop, X Men is just disgustingly complex. I remember that Sabretooth issue. Man it was awesome. I started collecting way back with the Age of Apocalypse run. Man that was sooooo good.
  21. how the hell did you get that!? I've had a pre order with Amazon since before the game shipped and it's still pending stock.
  22. ...pretty much how I felt. were you buying Essential then? I remember reading Morrison and thinking 'holy fucking shit!' then going in to X-Treme and just thinking 'Jesus keerriisit!' I'd also argue for Beast being one of the best characters then (and in Whedon afterwards). I loved how they wrote this brilliant scientist who was terrified he was becoming more animal than man. Fabulous.
