Hell yeah
Broasting? by hypno27	Mar 21st, 2007 02:56:00 AM
Please enlighten us as to this culinary methodology - I wait and am prepared to learn
I preferred the New over the Mighty. by Reelheed	Mar 21st, 2007 03:56:02 AM
Mainly based on the cast of characters and the story potential therein.
Killa 'Nilla in Robin by Wormie	Mar 21st, 2007 04:08:06 AM
Robin's white homeboy/snitch guy Killa 'Nilla - is he the worst comic book character ever? Annoying, pointless, borderline offensive!
Broasted Winick? by Jinxo	Mar 21st, 2007 04:42:30 AM
"Broasting is not only the process of frying chickens under pressure, but includes a special marinating process." So I guess if I did it right Winick will be marinating in his own juices while his temperature rises and the pressure builds until, uh, he either becomes a delightful meal or attacks me with a carving knife. Hmmm... maybe I should have stuck with the raking over the coals.
Winick has fucked Green Arrow into the ground... by Sledge Hammer	Mar 21st, 2007 04:57:43 AM
...not only has he basically spent the last couple of years endlessly recycling his usual stock standard schtick, but he's managed to make Ollie, one of the most charismatic characters in the DCU, boring as batshit. And the end result of all this? GA's title is now coming to an end...again. Hopefully it'll get a relaunch with a creative team that can breathe some much needed life back into the character.
New Wonder Woman Series by Black Satin 2	Mar 21st, 2007 06:31:31 AM
I wonder if anyone would go the Xena route on Wonder Woman. She has to somehow atone for what she did to Maxwell Lord by taking in a young woman and mentoring her. I mean, I know she only killed Lord because Lord was going to use Superman as a weapon against his own good (Somehow that was forgotten) and it seems now that Wonder Woman could take in a young female superhero the way Xena took in Gabrielle, who over time changed Xena's outlook on life. Perhaps Diana needs a daugter to approach her own feelings of guilt with her mother, who she fooled to go to the outside world in the first place.
Let us hope that Superboy punches some more walls... by rbatty024	Mar 21st, 2007 07:23:51 AM
and Jason Todd gets sent back to the afterlife.
Bendis and Maleev shouldn't have to cover for Millar... by stones_throw	Mar 21st, 2007 08:11:02 AM
That's an EDITOR's job! EDITORS! Do you hear me!!!
Fuck whiny Judd Winick by Chest_Rockwell	Mar 21st, 2007 08:16:38 AM
I've been annoyed with that whiny loser ever since he was on the real world. If it wasn't for MTV needing a whiny, clingy, mopey, dunderheaded dork to counterbalance Puck's geniousness and be a "friend" for Pedro, Winick would be slining fries and burgers wearing a paper hat right now. Fuck you MTV, and Fuck you Judd Winick.
Death to the Amazing Spider-Man! by loodabagel	Mar 21st, 2007 09:39:33 AM
If you read issue 529, (and I insist, please don't) then you know what I'm talking about. Whatever you do, don't read Amazing Spider-Man 529! It might be the single worst issue of JMS's run. Even if you're a Spider-Man completist, save your dough. This crap will be available in the quarter bin by November.
Stop relaunching healthy books!!!! by CarmillaVonDoom	Mar 21st, 2007 10:14:19 AM
Robin has been pretty bad for...well, for a while...but PLEASE no starting over and renumbering!! A new "Issue One" isn't what is needed...just a great TEAM working on the book. I would love to see Robin #300 personally. I HATE HATE HATE series starting over...have i mentioned that one yet? ;
Worst comic characters ever.... by CarmillaVonDoom	Mar 21st, 2007 10:15:35 AM
I nominate Pieface from GL...anyone else?
Wonder Woman sidekick would be awesome by CarmillaVonDoom	Mar 21st, 2007 10:19:31 AM
It HAS TO BE Kara Zor-El...another character that is being criminally wasted. It would probably have to take place off-planet though...these girls would be insanely powerful together! A non-powered alternative would be Cassandra Cain...but I can't STAND her character at ALL. Maybe Huntress would be a good fit? Black Satin 2 thanks....good concept. OK I'll stop posing now! Hope you guys give me something good to read when I get home from work. :^)
Amazons Attack? by tonagan	Mar 21st, 2007 10:30:14 AM
Sounds like there'll be a lot of sticky issues and used tissues for fanboys during that "event".
I just don't get this new Moon Knight by GiggityGoo	Mar 21st, 2007 10:44:22 AM
I loved the original 70s/80s Moon Knight. When he was written well, he was a great character. But this new iteration is just... terrible! People keep praising the artwork, but... it's derivative of Liefeld's first batch of proteges (Mychels, Fraga, etc.). And the writing... The faceless Bushman is ludicrous, a Tim Burton Batman-esque lunatic. If someone out there is loving it, then that's great. But I'm just lost on the appeal. And the reviewer was correct about Cap's appearance... don't be misled by the cover, as I was. Cap shows up in a jacket (opened just enough to show some blue chain mail and a white star point), threatens Moonie, and then hits the road. That's it.
Red Hood by MC Vamp	Mar 21st, 2007 11:01:58 AM
RighteousBrother, I don't think he'll be Red Hood forever. I have a bad feeling about Dick Grayson in the next DC "UNIVERSAL EVENT" mini. They almost killed the guy in Infinite Crisis as it is, I just think they're looking for a better way to do it. I think Bart Allen will probably eat it in a similar fashion, possibly on the same mission.
Angel's ending was vastly more satisfying than Buffy's. by Barry Egan	Mar 21st, 2007 11:05:39 AM
A totally kick ass sendoff.
Pees in corner* by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 11:27:43 AM
Cog Smooches in da Hzz-ouse bay-bee!!
I Concur, Barry Egan by tonagan	Mar 21st, 2007 11:51:59 AM
I also think that Angel's fourth season was miles better than Buffy's final season (since they were running simultaneously). Yes, I know a lot of people hated the whole Jasmine arc but, heck, I thought it was a wild, scary, rollercoaster ride.
I disagree, Barry & tonagan by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 12:02:28 PM
Buffy's finale had closure. Angels's blew chunks in that regard.
I concur, tonagan by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 12:03:19 PM
Though "Chosen" was just a good episode, especially since Joss wrote it. Angel's fourth season, I maintain, is the most perfectly paced piece of serialized television ever, and every ep just upped the ante that much more. Plus it had bookends. And I'm honestly happy that Joss stayed out of the mix for the most part, because that one ep he wrote and directed early on in the season stuck out like a sore thumb.
oh here we again... by blackthought	Mar 21st, 2007 12:08:53 PM
stuff.
I too, LOVED Angel S4 by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 12:23:16 PM
But as Thalya knows, being a Senior Partner came with being way too 'in the know' on the Network politics that killed Angel. Which in turn hurt the viewing experience of the finale (Fred was coming BACK goddammit!!).
damn the WB by blackthought	Mar 21st, 2007 12:24:54 PM
OH WESLEY!!!
Is Bug takin' over the reviews? by nofate	Mar 21st, 2007 12:41:53 PM
I think I saw his name about six times. But I had to do a double take when I read this: "Bendis is actually so good at getting into the head of this, probably one of the most flawed heroes in Marvel’s pantheon of heroes, that I wouldn’t mind seeing him tackle the character for an extended run as he did with Daredevil" Really? High-Five!!
"This issue has more OH NO, YOU DI’INT’s.. by nofate	Mar 21st, 2007 12:44:12 PM
than a season of Jerry Springer" But still less than your average CW (network) show, which is sayin' a lot.
I think Illyria... by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 12:46:41 PM
..was way more fascinating than Fred ever was. Ha! There, I said it! Besides, Amy Acker's performance in The Girl in Question (Angel and Spike going nuts over Buffy and The Immortal in the strada!) just shows she was being held back by the Fred role. They didn't know what to do with Fred anyway. And sniff ..blackthought.. whimpers Don't get me started on Wesley.. oh those glasses and that Brit accent... bawls!
Identity Crisis/Infinite Crisis by Defrost	Mar 21st, 2007 12:53:46 PM
I got back into DC when the On Year Later thing started up. What happened exactly in Identity Crisis and Infinite Crisis?
The Angel series finale was… by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 12:58:02 PM
perfection. I'm not sure if I'd want to see the series continue (although I'll be buying when IDW releases Season 6) because that ending left something so epic, so unknown that I don't think anything could live up to what I was thinking in my mind for the past few years. I think I liked Angels final season more so than the fourth, but I thought the fourth season is where it really hit it's stride. I loved Illyria btw. Buffy: Season 8 (it's true Childe Roland) is great. It's lie Thalya said, "It's pre UPN Buffy." Everything was pitch perfect for me, but Humph is totally right about new people hoping to learn about Buffy from this, go catch up on 150 hours of television. He's also right about the trade off with the internal monologue and the music score, but in this case I think it's a fair trade. I always hear music in my head anyways. ; )
What H said by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 01:05:29 PM
Great review Humph!
Though to be technical.. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 01:06:21 PM
It's 144 hours of Buffy (110 of Angel).
Defrost… by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 01:11:10 PM
oh boy, umm… Thalya? Lots of stuff man. Mind wipes, rapes, deaths, wall punching, multiverses, heads getting knocked off, dogs getting kicked, neck twistings, mopey Supes, super Supes, etc.
And Calculator, H.. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 01:24:03 PM
Lots and lots of Calculator!
I too, LOVED Illyria by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 01:27:19 PM
I just loved the character of Fred as well. Acker was going to be doing double duty in S6 as both (and this was from the J-meister himself). Fred AND Illyria...playing off of each other no less!
I hear ya, GiggityGoo. by SleazyG.	Mar 21st, 2007 01:31:51 PM
The only thing worse than the overcooked but underthought writing on MOON KNIGHT is the awful art. Half the time it's so dark and scratchy I can't tell what the hell is going on or who's talking. The other half of the time I keep flipping to the front cover to make sure I'm not reading SPAWN.
I will say this now... by GreatA'Tuin	Mar 21st, 2007 02:02:55 PM
I loved Buffy and Angel both. Angel suffered the fate of most good shows (R.I.P. Studio 60, and a hearty "FUCK YOU" to all YOU bastards for not watching it), but at least they got the chance to "finish" the story. Sure, they didn't make Spike a "real boy" (OH FUCK YOU if you think that Morrisey wanna-be was gonna do it) but they got to go out with a bang, and have THE greatest walk-off line in TV history. All that said...FUCKING STOP WITH THE SHIT, JOSS! Please, goddamn it, please get back to FireFly. Find a way. Fuck if SciFi will air that abortion "Stargate: Atlantis" then they will fucking jizz themselves over FireFly. Fuck FOX! FUCK!
Firefly was lame.... by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 02:14:03 PM
Cowboys in space? Not for this kid, thanks.
I'm corny by Tito Trinidad	Mar 21st, 2007 02:15:10 PM
Because MCMLXXVI made me chuckle.
Psy... by GreatA'Tuin	Mar 21st, 2007 02:18:24 PM
Star Trek was cowboys in space. Besides, I don't care if you like it. You watch it so that it stays on the air for me.
Good sum-up Heathen... by MC Vamp	Mar 21st, 2007 02:23:27 PM
So defrost, here's the main body of it: Identity Crisis killed off Sue Dibny and established that the Justice League had been using Zatanna to manipulate the minds of DC villains for years (erasing discovery of secret IDs and even altering behavior.) Turns out the Atom's ex-girlfriend Jean Loring was the killer, in an insane attempt to draw Atom closer by making it seem like JLA loved ones were in danger. Atom locks her in Arkham, Ralph Dibny begins going mildly insane, and Batman becomes ultra-secret-super-paranoid figured out he was mind-scrambled too, because of his vehement protest of a magical "lobotomy" on Dr. Light...and we find out he has a secret satellite. Between the IC's, Checkmate, led by Max Lord tries to orchestrate a worldwide movement against superhumans. He kills the first man to uncover things (Blue Beetle) and releases the OMACs against super-humanity. Then Max Lord takes over Superman's mind, forcing Wonder Woman to kill Lord. This is the icing on the cake for Kal-L, the Earth-2 Superman, who has been observing DC "Earth" from Alex Luthor's pocket dimension since the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths. What Kal-L doesn't know is that Alex Luthor and Superboy-Prime (also from old Crisis) have been screwing with the time stream, causing problems like the return of Donna Troy and Jason Todd. Alex Luthor is even managing to sneak out and impersonate the real Lex Luthor, organizing an army of Supervillains (Villains United series) and wreaking havoc. After the villain Society wipes out the Freedom Fighters, killing most of them, Kal-L helps Alex, SB-Prime, and Earth 2 Lois bust out into the "real" universe. Hilarity ensues. To sum up, Alex and SB-Prime want to create a "perfect" universe and they've tricked Kal-L along. So the heroes try and stop them. SB-Prime kills a bunch of lame Titans before essentially every Flash ever traps him in the Speed Force. But SBP returns wearing Monitor armor. Current Superboy fights him and dies. Earth 2 Lois dies. Everyone gangs up on SBP and Alex and takes care of business, resulting in a depowered Superman and a dead Kal-L, and SBP goes to Lantern Prison. Alex escapes but is killed by real Lex Luthor and the Joker for impersonating Luthor to the Society and not inviting Joker when he did so. Wrapping things up, there's a new Latino Blue Beetle who uses the scarab; Booster Gold notices that history is screwing up; the BIG 3 (Bats, Supes, WW) take a year's vacation; Bart Allen returns from the Speed Force (which at the time freaked the hell out of SBP despite SBP being Silver-Age Kryptonian-powerful) and at first quits deciding to make a go of it as the new Flash; Wally West and family are apparently in the Speed Force and so is Barry--and the Speed Force is now inside Bart, kinda; the JLA headquarters is wrecked up...and about a hundred other things. But thats the short version... deep breath... WHEW.
Oh Jaysis by El Vale	Mar 21st, 2007 02:58:52 PM
Not the IC all over again!
I downloaded the Buffy comic by El Vale	Mar 21st, 2007 03:00:05 PM
Never saw a single episode of either Buffy or Angel so...should i read it or what?
Download the eps first, Vale by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 03:09:02 PM
Humph was right on that part. You're walking in after 7 years worth of character development, so.. Though it is enjoyable and you will pick up on the characters quick and you will go "wuh-huh?!" at Sunnydale. But a lot of the enjoyment is about returning to very old friends without missing a beat.
Vale! by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 03:10:27 PM
Hell no! Did you not read Humphs review? You'd be more lost than LOST my man. Watch all the shows of Buffy and Angel and then dive in, but surely not before... Wait, you did that just to get a rise out of me, didn't you? Oh, Vale! slaps knee You prankster! Seriously, don't read it unless you just want to bitch about something because it will make no sense most likely. MC Vamp, even better sum up, but still the short version huh? ; ) Man, you know, I really liked the overall story that Identity and Infinite Crisis told, even though there was hiccups it held up a lot better in hindsight than I remembered.
Buffy quote from first issue: by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 03:16:41 PM
"The guys figured I was a target. Set up two other slayers to be me. Ones underground. literally. One's in Rome, partying very publicly -- and supposedly dating some guy called 'The Immortal.' -- That part was Andrew's idea. He did research on the guy and said it would be hilarious for some reason." If you don't know why that is in fact hilarious then you should watch the episodes first or at least Wiki the hell out of Buffy and Angel or something.
Infinite Crisis re-reads quite well actually by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 03:26:39 PM

Hey now! by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 03:57:23 PM
Don't get me started, I still want to hit a DC panel with Didio so I can get my ass booed and thrown out for asking him how does it feel having ripped off your customers so blatantly and is there any actual plans for DC to back off from the hucksterism and heaping helpings of the Didio ego that pervades DC's line? (The fuckwit spoiled the ending of 52 for Mammon's sake!! WHAT. A. FUCKING. TOOL. ) Yep, love the DCU, fucking HATE their EIC. Huh, I guess Buzz was right, they really are the same underneath) huh....
Oh and Lord Turtle? by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 04:01:28 PM
Considering that on Earth-236985000 I created the All-Firefly network one would think that would suffice. Earth Prime is the bitch earth for all that incarnate in this particular sidereal string so suck it up. mwah
Though just think.. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 04:03:25 PM
According to Morrison that if you look hard enough, there's either a comic book, or a comic book within a comic book, or a comic book within a comic book within a comic book where you can _see_ that universe!
Yo! Why y'all gotta bring up Wesley? by glodene	Mar 21st, 2007 04:06:46 PM
I'm wiping man-tears thinking about his final moments lying in Freds'/Illyria's lap giving her the ok to lie to him one last time. Damn! Y'all opened an emotional wound that hasn't fully healed yet. FUCK THE WB! MAY A THOUSAND RED ANTS CRAWL UP THEIR MOMMAS HOLE.
And c'mon Psy.. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 04:06:49 PM
At least when DiDio's talking about having almost killed off Dick Grayson, he's doing it with a big goofy grin on his face where you can tell he's really having a blast with what he's doing. al Quesada just looked exhausted, uninspired and ho-hum last time I saw him at a panel promoting HoM.
Too late glodene.. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 04:08:19 PM
Though good riddance? Though I liked WB's production values, for whatever that's worth.
I'd take a Didio over an Al Quesada anyday though. by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 04:11:46 PM
Just sayin'.
That's the thing.... by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 04:12:09 PM
I'd gladly suck Grant Morrison's dick (he's the kind of guy I find hot in those pics where he's bald) but I would have to kick Didio in the jewels.
I don't even buy comics anymore... by MC Vamp	Mar 21st, 2007 04:14:08 PM
My info was a combo of Borders visits, Wikipedia browses, and uh...maybe one teeny weeny BitTorrent download. Sadly, it was off the top of my head. Personally, I prefer the Animated Universe at this point, even though it's largely dead. I am curious to see how World War 3 progresses in 52. Black Adam is such a good character. Overall, I'd say both Marvel and DC have done adequate but uneven jobs in trying to overhaul their continuities lately, particularly concerning Wally West and Captain America. Marvel took a slightly bigger risk with their major characters but overdid the shock value "events" (Peter Parker unmasks, Thor Clone, FF split, Iron Man: Asshole of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mar-Vell lives, Homicidal Thunderbolts, R.I.P Cap,) in a too-rapid timespan, and DC kind of danced around their major players, overdid the diversity (new heroes of seemingly every single race and like 3 homosexuals have shown up in like 18 months...I like diversity, but does every third new super-heroine have to be a lesbian these days?) but definitely put forth more overall effort (52, for all its flaws, is a massive undertaking considering the time frame.)
True, I DO despise Quesada more than Didio by Psynapse	Mar 21st, 2007 04:18:44 PM
But I can't get over the fucktard spoiling 52 like that. And I'm EXACTLY the DC customer that ending is MADE for! Aaand I'm not so sure a return to silver age Superman is going to be the best thing. Did you know his skin is completely invulnerable again? I got that straight from the Timm interview on Newsarama.
Sorry. I just get all emotional when.. by glodene	Mar 21st, 2007 04:19:49 PM
it comes to Angel and how The WB treated Angel like an unwanted stepchild. Poor Wesley. Just when he finally got the girl, fate stepped in with cruelest form of cockblockery and drove him over the edge and in true Shakespherian form, they used Gunn in an indirect way to do it in a sense that she initially chose gunn over Wesley in Season 3's ep. Waiting in the Wings. (Double Entendre if you think about it)
Psynapse... by MC Vamp	Mar 21st, 2007 04:23:51 PM
As much as they (and I mean Marvel AND DC) have changed recently, a lot of things are probably going to go back to status quo after World War Hulk, Countdown, and whatever "event series" follow. Superman will even out, there will be a Captain America of some sort, blah blah blah. I just hope that when they get there we can all look back and say "okay, that was a good ride" instead of "how the fuck did we get HERE?"
TImm interview? by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 04:27:25 PM
Damn, I'm outta the loop! I'll be right back. True about 52 spoilage, and you are indeed the type of fan that was made for. I can understand that. Now to see about that interview. runs off
Also on Newsarama... by MC Vamp	Mar 21st, 2007 04:27:26 PM
Geoff Johns blows another piece of the ending of 52 while talking bout the new Booster Gold series...

At 39 I know the cyclical nature of comics better than most. (Psy-Fi has been readin' the 4color funnies since he was 4-wassamatta, coudln't YOU read at 4?)(*_^)
That new series.. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 04:34:06 PM
Promises to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, f'real an' shi'! They've got Jurgens on it! Now I've just gotta finish reading the original series that was a treasure hunt item of mine for the last couple of years..
i'm sorry...i didn't mean to bring up wesley... by blackthought	Mar 21st, 2007 04:55:22 PM

Green Arrow #75 is the final issue? by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 05:33:13 PM
Huh, wasn't aware of that. Better hope Winick gets you your answers Jinxo. I want to read Green Arrow, well, I like the character of Green Arrow, but as long as Winick is/was attached I couldn't waste my money on it. I'm surprised that it's being canceled though. Can you believe that Blue Beetle, Shadowpact and Checkmate are going to have a series and GA won't?
Isn't Green Arrow by El Vale	Mar 21st, 2007 05:43:14 PM
Thanks to Smallville one of DC's most recognizable characters right now?
While we're on the subject by El Vale	Mar 21st, 2007 05:49:10 PM
Buffy? Infinite Crisis? Dan Didio? 52? Green Arrow? We should talk about thing's EYE'm interested in. How bout that Criminal? Here's a great review of Coward, the book's first arc: http://tinyurl.com/2ru57t

That should be "things" not "thing's".
Are you guys reading Thunderbolts? by El Vale	Mar 21st, 2007 05:52:02 PM
Some people have described the book as mean (and it is), but it's also so much more than that. One of Warren Ellis' best books right now, and that's saying something.
Green Arrow & Thunderbolts by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 06:28:44 PM
Yeah, GA is actually one of DC's most recognizable characters due to Smallville oddly enough. That's true. I was completely in the dark on the series being canceled. I read the first two issues of Ellis' Thunderbolts and they were really good, mean, but good. I don't know if I can continue to buy it though A) because I can't afford another book and B) because I didn't like where the whole thing stemmed from. Vale, you read Mighty Avengers yet? T, did you read the latest GL? What was it? {\|0\|} Is that right? ; )
Aw man that's too bad by El Vale	Mar 21st, 2007 07:02:05 PM
Last week's issue was the best yet. It was filled to the brim with fascinating conversations and ideas. Oh and Stan Lee's "Who wants to be a Thunderbolt?" commercial was worth the cover price by itself. Best new series? You better believe it baby!
'Technically'… by The Heathen	Mar 21st, 2007 07:34:26 PM
it's not a new series. ; )
I'm still waiting for the softcover of Rebirth, H. by Thalya	Mar 21st, 2007 08:04:54 PM

Thundybolts... by loodabagel	Mar 21st, 2007 08:35:35 PM
Oh man. I really wanted to pick it up, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I was trying to walk the staright and narrow nad wanted to steer clear of that crazy troublemaker. I am liking Newuniversal, though. It gets better with every issue! Hurrah!

Hey Heathen... by loodabagel	Mar 21st, 2007 08:38:54 PM
What's your favorite Outkast album? I've been listening to Speakerboxx/Love Below recently and am considering getting something new. Speakerboxx is pretty good. I can't stand The Love Below.
What seemed appealing about Thunderbolts... by loodabagel	Mar 21st, 2007 08:46:50 PM
At least to me, was from that last page in issue ?, let's call it Issue 1. Where Jack Flag's wife says to him "They're going to kill you for being a superhero." Now, this Jack Flag guy is who? Who knows. So you have absolutely no idea whether he lives or dies. It seemed so unpredictable. I think I'm going to go to the shop and read it, as well as my secret copy of Catain America 25 I've been saving! Where is it, might you ask? Why, it's in the same place I sometimes hide an issue of All Star Superman when I don't have the flow with me. Either between issues of OMAC or New Excalibur. Don't tell anybody.

Death to Buffy! by loodabagel	Mar 21st, 2007 10:12:35 PM
Nah not really. Just not a fan and don't want to get mixed up in alla that Buffy stuff. Actually, I have a really hard time getting mixed up in television at all. I watched the first few episodes of Lost and Heroes, but I just couldn't keep it up. The only show I'm currently somewhat dedicated to is The Office, and even that I only catch about every other week.

looda re: Outkast by The Heathen	Mar 22nd, 2007 10:28:33 AM
Here we go luscious loo, Outkasts best TWO albums are "ATLiens" and "Aquemeni." "Stankonia" is awesome, as is "Southernplaya listicadillac muzik", but stay clear of "Idlewild" which is easily their worst album. It's not that it's horrible, it's just that it's the only album I've ever heard of theirs that I knew was their worst and all of the others it's hard to choose sometimes. Get "ATLiens" if you want some soulful sci-fi alien type kind of music, but in hip-hop form before it was nothing but grills and white tee's. This album was the first time Boi and Andre produced anything and it was awesome. "ATLiens" is the Outkast album of choice for pot heads too. NOTE: My cousin who thinks he's a super smart dude used to call it 'At-liens.' Tard. "Aquemini" is… perfect. It's one of my favorite all time albums. It's in my car right now below my cd player. I can't believe it's nearly a decade old. Outkast have a commentary on everything from abortion to growing up young to a night in a club (Spottieottie dopaliscious) to Dre 'returning' - it's awesome. Message me if you want more details. Devin the Dude just came out with a new album yesterday. He's great too.
Is it Dirrty in here? by Tito Trinidad	Mar 22nd, 2007 10:54:17 AM
What's this? Someone's talking about one of my favorite groups ever? Man, it's good to see some 'Kast heads up in here. Especially cats who listened to them before Stankonia(which I still love immensely "Slum Beautiful" and "Stankonia" are two unlikely get-er in the mood songs IMO). And wow, I agree with almost everything Heathen said. It's really gratifiying to watch artists grow like they did. They were able to evolve and experiment with there own sound while paying homage to, rather than ape, their diverse influences (like Kate Bush).

The Pimp and the Poet by The Heathen	Mar 22nd, 2007 12:10:30 PM
Or Big Boi and Andre 3000. Thanks, Tito! Being in the south and going to school in the country opened up a whole new world of music and fortunately Outkast was a prime force in that. I love Stankonia too (Toliet Tisha, Gasoline Dreams, Red Velvet as well), but you're right about that being the point where everyone picked up on Kasts talent and that's when we started to see the pressure build in them as a group. I'd want nothing more than to have a 'normal' (which is an odd way to describe Outkast) album from the two, but I doubt we're ever going to get another one. Although I did come across a few remixes that had Andre actually rapping in them. The 'You' remix by that Lloyd kid has a great Andre verse and there's a 'Throw Some D's' remix that has another Andre verse and finally there's a remix to something called 'Walk It Out' which sounds like some new age hip-hop that I can't stand, but then Andre comes in and owns the whole song. I mean he owns it. Maybe because he's talking about how he doesn't like the new trends either? He says: "you're new to this part of town your white tee, well to me, looks like a night gown make your momma proud, take that thing two sizes down" I think it's great how he's making fun of the type of things that are popular in hip-hop currently. I hate those huge white tees. My favorite verses maybe ever of theirs might be from 'da Art of Storytellin' and 'Elevators' and 'Jazzy Belle.' I dunno, there's so much to choose from. I'm already rambling. : ) Wow, from Buffy to Outkast. This talkback is the greatest.

"True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me to the end of week, I live by the beat like you live check to check, if you don't move yo' feet than I don't eat, so we like neck to neck." One of my favorite lyrics. Yeah, I went to school down south also(Nashville, TN) and up till than the only southern rappers I listened to were the Geto Boys, which means I listened to Scarface. But the Houston southern vibe was a little bit different than Georgia, Tenn., Carolina southern vibe(check out the flick ATL-criminally underrated). I was almost immediately taken by those guys. I like the fact that they dispel the illusions and trappings of modern hip-hop(white tee's, gangster shit, ect.) but embrace the fact that those are still aspects of hip hop. Maybe it doesn't have to be that big of an aspect. And I'm with you, whenever Big or Dre are laying lyrics on someone elses song i'm there. Dre absolutely rips up "Throw some D's." Yeah Psy,I hope they don't kill Adam at the end of 52. He reminds me of one Namor a little bit(one of my all time fave characters).

How DARE you?! by El Vale	Mar 23rd, 2007 04:10:41 PM
Alan Moore never got no pointers from Rob Liefeld! Even if Liefeld did try to give Moore pointers, in the end they were so bulgy and anatomically incorrect and full of pouches Moore couldn't possibly take them seriously and went with his instincts anyway...i mean those pointers' eyes were too small and close together, wtf's up with that? By the way, that's not how legs work. I'm sick and tired of people saying DC's better than Marvel. In the end it all comes down to this: DC is gay, Marvel is not. It's that friggin' simple. If you can't see that then you are blind and i don't even wanna see you. Even tho' i can see you, cause you're the blind one, not me. You would probably give anything to SEE something, even me, because of the beauty of actually being able to see stuff, but i don't care. You're just an idiot. Finally, comics aren't just for kids anymore. In fact, kids don't even read comics anymore. Fat guys who sweat too much are the new kids. They eat that superhero shit up like it's Taco Bell or something, and then they complain about it because clearly that's not the Tony Stark i grew up reading! I'm reading this incredibly important graphic novel about these really hip Paul Pope type guys who sit around in dingy rooms smoking cigarrettes and talking about indy rock, and they do this cool meta thing where one of them says something and the other goes hey, that only happens in superhero comics. Don't do that shit, dude...that shit's for retards. Because superheroes are silly, see? But serious comics man, those are art.

If so, does Vale eat there? What's the best food in Colombia, you know, without the cocaine? Shig! Rahrghh!!! … buffy. I could talk more about Outkast and that would get El's panties in a bunch almost as much as calling him El, making a cocaine joke about Colombia or calling bullshit on Alan Moore, Bendis or Al Quesada.

Yes, I just went out and saw the movie. I saw a few stories on Newsarama about it this week and went "hmm.. I really need to chill. This sounds like fun!". And it was. Lots of Turtle-y goodness, some great Turtle-style dialogue, and some great character work that sounds like it'll pay big dividends if there's a sequel. The fight between Raph and Leo was really well done and the animation was striking in places, particularly the lighting when it was raining. It's not just a kiddie movie, though it is good clean bloodless fun. I give it 3 stars out of 4. (Oh, and Buffy voices April without being overly-Buffy. Not to mention Captain Picard, Silent Bob, and Human Torch also provide voices)

All his stuff is very derivative and unorigianl. All he does is have his characters talk about trivia and excuse it as "plot development" A BKV comic is worse than Shrek 3. Outkast sucks and so does Death Cab for Cutie! Civil War is a highly relevant allegorical fable about the zeitgeist of current American suburban life and the nagging fears that consume us all. Taco Bell tacos taste better than any other tacos and I assume they are filled with cocaine in Columbia. Que pasa, ese? Soy Caliente!

BTW, was anyone else sitting there waiting for O'Neill to bust in and unload a mag in Xerxes? Fucker had a snake in his head fo' sho! "This won't be over quickly. You won't enjoy it. I am not your queen." Hell yeah! I have never wanted another woman to share mine an 'ettes bed until that goddamned scene, and with as much as Turtlette liked it I could proabably get her to agree too. One bad thing though. Butler isn't Snake Plisken, and never will be.
I'm The New Writer On Butler's Snake Plissken Flick... by Buzz Maverik	Mar 27th, 2007 02:49:01 PM
...as I understand it, Butler will be playing Snake Plissken III, son of Snake Plissken Jr. who will be played by Kurt Russell (all Plisskens are born missing one eye and with webbed toes). I'm told that if I turn in a kick ass draft they may be able to land Clint Eastwood as Snake Plissken Sr. My working draft is titled ESCAPE FROM DOLLYWOOD. It seems that the large breasted country singer's theme park is now a maximum security asylum for the inbred. It seems that Grandma Plisskin was a third cousin of Snake Sr.'s (she only has one eye, they're talking somebody like Eva Marie Saint or Gena Rowlands or Joanne Woodward in a cameo). So Snake Jr. (Kurt) is an inmate and his son (Butler) teams up with his Grandpa (Clint) to bust him out. Expect a family affair with Jane Seymour as Snake's ex-wife (to explain Snake Jr.'s funny accent). I've got to earn that million bucks, custom Purdy shotgun, and new H2 fully engorged with Cuban cigars.

Honarary like yo momma... by loodabagel	Mar 28th, 2007 09:45:32 AM
Yeah, I'm defintely down with the guy. Go Buzz. I've already decided to side with him when the Talkback Civil War goes down. Also, recently read Tintin and The Cigars of tthe Pharaoh, and apart from the unsettling racist depiction of the black sailors, I thought it was pretty damn good. I do love me some Herge art.

Today you have to review Amazing Spider-Man 529, some classic Tintin and that goofy looking "Dead High" comic I saw yesterday.

I Don't Operate That Way, Blackthought! by Buzz Maverik	Mar 28th, 2007 04:28:47 PM
Sure, if it's personal, but this is a fraternal organization. I was going to make one of my stupid jokes and say,"In your face, @$$holes! I'm a Cog now!" but I'm trying to stay away from the Dark Side of the Farce, which is often misinterpreted on this www.com type thang.
