    Identify this Marvel Superhero

    No sweat. Kinda surprised myself there actually. :p

    Identify this Marvel Superhero

    I may be wrong, but I believe that is one of the personas adopted by Spiderman when he became a public enemy. Afterward, when he was able to be Spidey in public again, his various alternate identities were given to other heroes who became the team known as the Slingers. I think this guy was...

    Where/When to Start

    I'd second that suggestion. We're in golden age of Trade Paperbacks, so you can grab a full storyline in one book and just read it. You may miss some continuity stuff, but I've discovered that you can largely work through it. Some suggestion off the top of my head: The Watchmen Any of Gaiman's...

    Diamond's Top Comics for 2007

    Yeah. And frankly, I can't really blame him for taking that position.

    Diamond's Top Comics for 2007

    I think it is more that after the disaster that was the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie, he's stated he wants nothing to do with any adaptations of his works. He doesn't want his name in the credits or to be associated with them at all. This is what I heard, anyway.

    The Formorian

    That was pretty cool.

    Cloverfield

    Yeah, I saw that after I posted. LOL I guess that is one of my few beefs about the movie: the monster just was a little lacking IMO.

    Cloverfield

    That's why some are thinking there were two monsters (in addition to the parasites)

    Actor Heath Ledger dead

    Man, sleeping pills are so dangerous, yet I think few people appreciate just how much. As much as I will lament the loss of such a talented young individual, I feel for his little girl the most.

    Nebula award nominees

    Thanks for the link. I was wondering, what does everyone think of the last Harry Potter book being on the list? Deserved or no? I haven't read it yet, but a number of my friends (who loved the Harry Potter series) weren't happy that it was nominated.

    Cloverfield

    Awesome. Thanks!

    Cloverfield

    I just got back and I really liked it. It was really tense and I found they hit the mark with the "you are there" feel. The acting was solid IMO, and the characters seemed natural. The ending was fairly touching and appropriate. Also, I think there might have been two big monsters. The first...

    Best endings

    It's one of my favourites too. I also like the fact that, for all his strength in resisting the ring on the trip to Orodruin, Frodo still fails in the end. Even thought it didn't feel like a finished book, The Children of Hurin had a pretty strong ending too (don't worry about spoilers, I'm...

    Best endings

    Yeah, that one wasn't great. I enjoyed the ending to FF VIII much much more (although YMMV). I also enjoyed that ending, although I thought the rest of the movie was a bit of a plodding mess compared to the elegance of the first flick.

    Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles Episode #1

    I thought it was alright. I'm already watching too many shows, so I doubt I'll be keeping an eye on it, but if I see it while surfing I'll switch it over as background while I'm on the computer. It didn't suck, certainly, but as much as I loved T1 and T2, the time paradoxes that they introduced...

    Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles Episode #1

    She was pretty good in The Unit.

    Top 25 Sci-Fi movies/tv (1982-present)

    Starship Troopers is better? I don't think so. Same thing for V. I rented that a few years ago and my friend and I watched it in one sitting. We felt that time and nostalgia had done a lot of favours for that series. I'd say it is fine where it is. It was better than any of the prequel films...

    Clone Wars

    Must've been one heck of a Bacta tank. :p Then again, there are fans that think Aayla Secura survived Episode III, so I guess anything is possible. ;)

    Review of the Dragonlance DVD at Newsarama!

    That dude was pretty kind to it. Maybe he just doesn't watch a lot of animation. :p Still, I think I will rent this at some point to see what it is like. I may be opening myself up for some punishment, but I've gotta see it.
