Yep, the PounceSignal (tm) is one of my creations. And... IT WORKED!!!!

Motti, here are your precious Desert Eagles. I have kept them cleaned and in a climate-controlled environment so there is no wear or rust on them. Enjoy, m'man. Gotta look out for my Manglers.

I love Jimbo's last post where he has all these classic Looney Tunes and Disney characters listed and then... Wolverine. Kinda funny.

Alan Rickman is a terribly underappreciated actor. I also liked him as the Metatron in Dogma.

"Tell someone you're the Metatron, and they stare at you blankly. Quote a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly you're all theology scholars."

Alien, Aliens, Psycho, Halloween, the original Nightmare on Elm Street (and #3 Dream Warriors holds a special place in my heart as does The New Nightmare which was a damn cool concept), Phantasm, Evil Dead 1 and 2, Army of Darkness. All are good watches. And, despite having some pretty bad scripts to the films he starred in, I love Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees. None better.

I enjoyed The Terminal. I thought it was a pretty good film. Not spectacular, by any stretch. But Tom Hanks, as would be expected, does a great job. And it's such a far cry better than Catch Me If You Can, IMHO. That movie disappointed me so much.

Okay, then it's the A-Wing Pilot I need. I always confused those two. Same mold, different color uniforms.

I never liked the blue Snaggler either. I carried my red Snaggletooth everywhere with me as a kid because he fit perfectly in my pocket (hey, when you're a kid, your pockets are smaller). However, I have seen him and I had a friend who had him and, therefore, I consider him a must for a complete vintage figure collection.

Ironically, EV-9D9 is one of the two POTF figures that I have carded. The other is one of the Ewoks. Plus I have a carded ROTJ R2-D2 with Sensorscope (yes, I know he's an ESB fig, but the released an ROTJ carded version of him, too, as I recall - ah hell, my recall has been for shit lately, I could be completely off).

Sheba, loved the "Part of Me Died Last Night" entry on your blog. Nope, not too dramatic at all. Part of me dies every time I hear a new change being announced for the DVD release of the OT in September. So I know the feeling. I've been a fan since the toys first hit pegs back in '77 and have seen them all in theaters (God only knows how many times).

A woman who truly appreciates Star Wars... I won't ask you to marry me, but can I, at the very least, get you to hang out with my wife and school her on the finer points of SW fandom?

Please?

I thought it was marketing as well. However, I was a Star Wars junkie and I had just discovered the wonder that was widescreen VHS so I bought the 95 Faces trilogy box set so I could have a widescreen copy (my 1990 trilogy box is pan and scan). I'm thankful I forked over the US$50.

Huh? How can you say "LONG LIVE" to something you just claimed is dead?

No, the OT is alive and kicking and will soon become one of the largest bootleg markets out there once people realize that the versions coming out on DVD in September are not the originals. No it won't affect everyone and I don't expect it to. But there will be a percentage that will realize that they are not the same and start looking for it.

Both JTHM and Squee were comic books/trade paperbacks. Squee is a little kid dealing with parents who don't believe there are monsters living in his closet and now he has to find a way to coexist with these monsters that won't leave. Probably an oversimplification of the story, but it's been five years since I've read my TPB.

Thank you for specifying, Wonton. Knowing Luke the way Motti and I do, you never know what you'll get from ambiguous statements.

I'm assuming USA since Jay is from the US. But I could be wrong. And I'm not sure how GQ deals with crossover articles between both issues.

Couldn't tell you for sure. But it looks like wrists, biceps, shoulders, neck, high thighs (near pelvic area), and maybe ankles. Most of it would be useless though. This looks more statue than anything else. Most McToys are statues anymore.

I've got all those save for 3 or 4. I don't have Yak Face, Han in Carbonite, and Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise. I'm also missing the B-Wing Pilot (is he POTF or not?) and the tall blue Snaggletooth. Other than that, I've got all the vintage figures. A couple of my POTFs are still on the card.

He actually just came back last night or this morning (not sure which it is). He's posting in only a couple of threads right now, but he may do some heavy posting (and drinking) this weekend.

God I'm looking forward to drunken posts again!

3 was pretty terrible. 4 wasn't that great, but still better than 3. I wish they had stopped after Aliens. Speaking of Aliens, McFarlane Toys is releasing another wave of their horror figures and one of them is Hicks (Michael Biehn). I'm so looking forward to that figure coming out.
