Nearly 20 million people tuned in.

"The only scripted show this season to outperform “Roseanne” was the post-Super Bowl episode of “This Is Us,” which drew a 9.3 and 26.97 million viewers."

"9.3"

"26.97 million"

Digital comics alert: Amazon's gone crazy again and priced 278 Marvel graphic novels at a dollar.

They're clearly feuding with Disney (you can't pre-order physical copies of any of their movies anymore; for contrast, Ready Player One already has a preorder page up and that came out literally five days ago), I wonder if these constant price slashes are another symptom of it.

I would like to coin a new law: Nicholas' Law. Whenever something happens, someone on the internet will assume it's being done out of malice and spite.

Just having a little jest.

Got drunk and bought all of Bruce Tim Justice League on Blu-ray. That poo poo really holds up and is a pro loving watch.

It made me realize there's a lot of Bruce Tim content. You got four seasons of Batman the Animated Series, a season of Superman the animated series, two seasons of Batman Beyond, four seasons of Justice League, two seasons of static shock, and one season of Project Zeta.

That's a lot of loving episodes.

Oh, also movies. You got mask of the Phantasm, the mr. Freeze one, I think Superman had one, and the Joker one for Batman Beyond. That's pretty loving good.

Oh, also that Harley Quinn movie that proves that you should never return and make a sequel to something after it's finished. If Frank Miller had awareness heat agree with me and I'm sure Alan Moore would agree with me. It's never a good idea, you will never match up to what you originally did. The expectation in their mind is too hard to match.

Also, I just got to stop getting drunk and buying things. I mean, it wasn't too expensive but it's a really bad habit to have. I'm not made of money. Also, my liver.

It's called a box set, googling tells me there's 54 episodes, if you have that many you've got them all.

Oh, it does have 54 episodes. I don't know, I just thought that it was only one season because it was only one box. Back when I was a kid I didn't even notice.

Are they doing more movies in the DCCU?

Yes, Aquaman is planned for this year or next, they're doing a cyborg movie, Wonder Woman 2 is confirmed.

Edit: I took that as DC Cinematic Universe, but if you meant DC cartoon universe then they just did a Harley Quinn movie set in the DC Animated Universe but that's the last one so far with no plans going forward.

That's very open-ended question. What kind of series did you like when you did read? If you never read before, what kind of series do you like in general? Can help you whittle it down from there.

Just so you know, my mental image of you has gone completely haywire

I complete believe Woody would work security at a nightclub.

I'm not doxing him, he did an amazing cosplay of Woody from Quantum and Woody and that character would definitely do that job. Well, he would half-rear end that job. Well, Woody would probably sign up for the job, but spend most of the time just buying beers and harassing female patrons. Well, he'd actually probably just not even show up and go to a different bar.

I'm kind of out of nice things to say about them now.

I understand. My last employer lied and said it was permanent position when they hired me, but brought me in the second busy season (60+ hour/weeks for 3 months) ended, as in the second I came in the following morning, and told me they were a small company that couldn't keep too much staff during the off season. So, I get messy employer situations.

I've been trying to be nice and not talk poo poo but I keep hearing horrible things that have happened since I left. Two people walked (one being my replacement) over it being a hostile work environment. It just hurts my soul because I worked so hard to build that place into what it was and now it's burning to the ground.


Oh and I weigh 163 lbs now btw.

Go to YouTube. Type in "X Explained" where X is some nerd property such as Star Wars, a particular superhero, Lord of the Rings, excetera. See the amount of subscribers, likes, favorites, and videos.

I know more sales are done physically than digitally, but, with Amazon doing super-heavy sales on comics on same-day releases and considering what Amazon did to the book industry, what chances do y'all see for the future of the comic industry? Do you think retailers stand a chance?

I mean, you're not entirely wrong, but Amazon is still at least a proximate cause; Borders went down because they ignored digital sales and e-readers entirely and Barnes and Noble is dropping because even though they didn't, the Nook simply can't hang against the Kindle.

Like, if I made you boss of Barnes and Noble with magic powers to transform it in any way you see fit, so long as they still sell books and Amazon is still Amazon, what exactly do you do to make yourself a viable business? I don't see a path.

Suicide booths, like in Futurama.

They all cost $25 to use. You give them to all the managers of your stores and you automatically promote the oldest employee after the manager uses it. Considering how hosed they are, you'll get a lot of use out of them and it'll probably make up for lost revenue.
