Thanks for the replies. There are a few suggestions I hadn't considered before. Unfortunately, my rock kind of resembles all them in some ways and none of them in others. When I posted this pic, I was hoping someone would say, "Oh, that's clearly a so-and-so" and wrap up the mystery in one...

My grandfather used to work in a coal mine in Pennsylvania. One day, he found this large, football-sized green crystal. I've looked online at many pictures, but none look just like it. Are there any amatuer geologists (or, heck, professional ones) out there who can help me identify it? I'm...

Spanish actress Lina Romay passed away from cancer on Feb 24th. She was 57. Romay was the longtime girlfriend of director Jess Franco and starred in many of his films.

I was really looking forward to this series, but I had to turn off the pilot after the first hour. Like Kzach, I just couldn't take the camera work. I don't mind "found footage" style movies, but they usually stick to one or two cameras and the transitions aren't that frequent. Here, the...

From Bleeding Cool:

Cap villains IBAC and SABBAC had the same problems (in fact, tricking them into saying their names was how Cap usually ended up defeating them). Junior at least had "Junior" to fall back on (not that being a superhero named "Junior" is all that great :)). Anyway, DC had a Captain Marvel...

Newsarama has new more info about the upcoming Captain Marvel project "The Curse of Shazam". It's written by Geoff Johns and will run as a 10 page back up feature in Justice League. Billy is now older (and looks to me kind of like a young Clark Kent), plus he's getting a new, redesigned...

Just to update this old thread... So, comic sales have improved in general, but DC is sliding back into 2nd place. I also read somewhere that the sales of DC top tier titles are higher post-reboot, but the lower tier books are heading back to pre-reboot numbers. That seems to be true...

I remember seeing a documentary on Holmes which said that audiences actually preferred to have the movies set in (then) modern times...and it's not that weird when you think about it. Holmes was set in the late 19th century and the films were made in the early 20th. It's no different than...

Director Don Sharp died on Dec. 18th at the age of 89. Sharp directed several Hammer films including Kiss of the Vampire, Rasputin the Mad Monk, and Psychomania as well as British tv series like The Avengers.

You're talking about the Kindle Fire, right? The color Kindle? The only menu that I'm seeing that's grey on grey is the e-mail app. Everything else I've seen is white on grey.

I'm not having any problem reading the screen, and I can't even see the giant E on an eye chart without my glasses. B-)

I got the Kindle Fire on Friday and I think it's great. Granted, I don't have a Nook or iPad to compare it to, but it does what I bought it to do. I searched the internet (no problems with the wireless), watched a few video clips, and I downloaded a comic from Amazon and a free preview comic...

The actual sales numbers for October have been released. The article also has a link to September's sales (and previous months) for comparison. Interesting. Some books dropped a little, and a few even gained. In August, before the reboot, Marvel sold 2,842,633 books and made $10,025,458.82...

Lots of favorites (and I still know I'm forgetting some): Commander USA's Groovie Movies (Son of) Svengoolie MST3K Werewolf The Flash The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr Hogan's Heroes Kolchak, the Night Stalker She-Wolf of London Thundarr the Barbarian Space Ghost Herculoids Teen Titans Battle...

The digital plot thickens... a while ago, DC signed a deal to exclusively release some of their graphic novels through the Kindle Fire and now Marvel has announced they are doing the same with the new Barnes & Noble Nook tablet. That probably explains why Amazon just had a huge sale on a bunch...

Okay, some more news: Another DC editor has quit (man, the reboot's been hard on them). This time it's Rex Ogle. Also, DC has just cancelled the fifth TPB of their recent R.E.B.L.E.S. series (which really ticks me off because I was collecting them :rant:). On the "good news for DC" front...

I'm not a cop...but I was in an accident* and woke up in a hospital. Trust me, I would have been really pissed if I woke up in a jail cell. :p *For the record, it wasn't a car accident, but a fall. I ended up with a concussion and some nerve damage, so I know how bad getting knocked...

No, no, I'm talking about movies in which teenagers witness a realistic murder, like someone getting shot. One movie I saw had teens witness a gang shooting and the cops dismissed the kids and threatened to arrest them (which leaves the kids on their own, trying to escape the gang who want to...
