It's the biggest movie of the year/all time. 10 years, 18 films, this is massive man.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It's lagging Force Awakens though, I dunno if it can take the All Time title.

The first three movies were good, but Star Wars is a pretty small, shallow universe. Not a good base for a big extended franchise.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Quoting to break the dumb movie argument.
Ours here on the underside of the world is in a few hours.

DC put out what should have been their premiere FCBD future story sampler thing on wednesday for 25c, surely just to get it on the sales charts, since 'free' probably doesn't count.
Hopefully every shop just chucks their leftovers on the free pile on the day.

No, it's bad. I'll eat my words the day they make a Star Wars movie that doesn't have at least one of the following: a lightsaber, a X-Wing, a Tie Fighter

Which they never will. The original Star Wars movies were good movies, but they were just simple childrens adventure stories about good guys fighting an evil wizard. There's not enough there there to build on. So in order to make a new movie a Star Wars movie, all they can do it use object and images from the originals

J2 was a bad comic but it wasn't the worst MC2 book I'm looking at you WILD THING.

Spider-Girl was really something in that it was a very long follow up to the Clone Saga, something everyone was supposed to hate with a passion.

I have a theory that it would be possible to edit the Clone Saga into something that's about a third as long and actually pretty good. Within that horrible mess there's actually a bunch of decent Spider-Man comics.

Also, unrelated, but

Having started some time ago and fallen off, I decided to go back to my read-through of the New Teen Titans from the 80s. The only difference is that between now and then I saw the Teen Titans Go! episode where they decide to get serious and it makes the overwrought internal narration even funnier.

For example, there's one bit in the Outsiders crossover where they fight the Fearsome Five where Halo is saying, "And this is my room, Raven! Isn't it cool!" and Raven says something like, "Like you, it is bright and happy," while her thought bubble is, "Two qualities that my father, the evil demon TRIGON THE TERRIBLE, has always denied me!"

Not really a tale or a photo, but my shop had a wicked deal on previously discounted trade paperbacks and I went a bit nuts. Picked up maybe a dozen Battleworld books and seven or eight TMNT collections that seem to be from the Mirage years. There is some interesting art in those things.
