I agree. I couldn't care less about who makes the biggest explosion or who has the most idiot teenagers running around 1/2 naked. Show me something with a good story and characters I care about with some good dialougue that ISN'T Hollywood leftist propoganda and I'll be happy to plunk down $10 to watch it. Provided they get the theaters under control again.

I just meant skepticism in a broad, general sense. That part of my post wasn't really directed at your take on YIYF's post. Just my own two cents in general.

If anything, his post creeped me out!!

There are too many things we can't explain in this world to discount supernatural causes, IMO. Yes, we should maintain healthy skepticism (ie: Is the door banging open and closed on a windy day REALLY because of a ghost? Or is it the wind?), but members of my family whom I respect and know are not insane have had contact with......things that defy explanation. See my previous posts about my father's upbringing. I also know someone personally (not in my fam) who is experiencing disturbances now. They're frightening to say the least. Cupboards opening and closing on their own, footsteps in the night, their kids being taunted by a mysterious "child" who yells at them and stands next to them looking angry. Very, very curious.

As for YIYF's post(s), nothing would surprise me.

Hi YIYF. I don't have a pic, but I drive an '03 Mitsubishi Gallant. I love it, although since I've had it there have been some problems: Someone hit it in a parking lot and didn't have the guts to tell me, and also a door handle broke off.

I agree. I think Japanese cars are fantastic, although I'd like to try out German one of these days with a VW.

When he started talking, my first thoughts were identical to that of the Chief..."What kind of a priest is this?" talking about prayer never being listened to and so on.

We've only seen 4 or 5 of the humanoid cylon models...maybe the priest is one too.


My take on this particular part of the ep was "Typical Hollywood version of religion: Make it psycho-therapy and use a non-religious religious person and people will be happy". Been there done that.

However the ep as a whole was brilliant as usual. I hate the guy who plays Baltar. It's like "Well, you're going to have an amazing part that people will talk about for decades, make lots of money, and oh yeah, you get to have this blonde crawl all over you almost every time you're on screen". Jack ass.

I think as long as the story's done well it could be a good thing. We've never found out what happened with his illness (when he was freaking out in the beginning of 5) and also how he's dealing with being poor again, and now the glory days are over.

Hey Warbs, I heard many, many years ago that the city of Philly was trying to get Stallone to take back the Rocky statue at the top of the stairs, the one used in the movies. Do you remember this or know if it actually happened?

I have faith that the suits at Sci-Fi are smart enough to leave the show alone when it's producing for them. Everything will be ok.

I thought last night's was fantastic, and is back on par with anything else they've done. What a great show and I'm going to miss it now until season 3.

During the early 90s Me and my dad used to go to a Sc-Fi/Comic con roughly once every six months. That's where I met Dave Prowse. Good memories of those times. As well as back issues of titles I was into, I was also trying to by back all the Star wars toys that I foolishly gave away years earlier when I had 'grown out of' them. This was again before the days of the internet and ebay - you had to hunt for those suckers.


I remember being in awe in the dealer's rooms. So much to buy, and no money!! Now that I can afford stuff the cons stink! One of the favorites I remember was watching the original Trek "blooper reels". It was amazing to see them and I laughed no matter how many times I saw the ones in being show. At that time, comics/sci-fi was LIFE. There was nothing else. There's a line in Spider-Man II, where Peter is talking to Aunt May, and May is telling him about the value of the hero, how people talk of waiting in line for hours to meet the person who taught them to hold on for another couple of seconds, etc. That line resonates with me because of all the time I stood in line to meet those people. A lot of them turned out to be jerks, but most of them were cool. I wish a smaller con would come around again so I can take my kids, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Ahhh...the *insert type here* -convention/gathering/fest/whatever. My brother took me to my first cons when I was 11, or 12, and they were comic cons. I vaguely remember meeting Arne Starr and thinking it was ironic he was doing Captain America at the time (I think). That was at a little hole in the wall club in my home town.

Then we graduated to the Sci-fi/Trek conventions in the EARLY days, before TNG came on. I remember meeting James Doohan at a car parking lot. Then when TNG started to air the cons got a LITTLE bit bigger, but still quite intimate. I waited in a LONG line to meet Mark Leonard, who portrayed Spock's father in the Trek incarnations. He was a great guest, very nice, great stories, took time to talk with people in line and pose for photos. Then I remember meeting Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) right as she was leaving after the first season of TNG. She and my father talked (my dad was hitting on her, I think) and I remember her telling him she was getting ready to do a movie based on a Stephen King book. Then we started going out of state for the cons as TNG REALLY started to take off. I met Michael Dorn (Worf), Marina Sirtis (Troi), John DeLancie (Q), William Shatner, Chase Masterson (Lyta from DS9...got my pic taken with her!), and a host of others. As the cons got bigger, the sense of intimacy was lost and it became all about getting autographs, which had a tendency to irritate the stars, I think. We haven't been to one for quite some time, and the last one was a travesty to say the least. Stayed about 2 hours then left in disgust, having travelled 90 minutes one way for it.

Whatever the occasion, I think the smaller the better, and they are indeed great times.

Well, I picked up a TON of stuff today at my shop. In addition to my regular subs, I got anything with an IC Crossover tag on it, plus some new ones I'm trying. Total of $61!

I read this month's Amazing Spidey by Straczynski, and I must say, the new costume I think will require a little time to grow on me. Not sure about it yet. Also, while I do think DC is CLOBBERING Marvel right now with the IC arc, I believe if JMS handles everything well Marvel is going to be in great shape come the end of Civil War and hopefully the continuity issues will be resolved. Looking forward to reading the next issue of The Sentry mini, also, as he is one of my new favs.

I also want to recommend Book of Lost Souls again, by JMS. This book is fantastic and anyone who liked Sandman I believe will enjoy it. There are subtle nods in the artwork to Sandman, IMO.

OK...got this last weekend. I have to respectfully disagree with GC on this one 3 1/2 skulls out of 5.

I thought the animation was definitely better than anything else Marvel has done (X-Men and Spider-Man are AWFUL). I agree that Capt America's characterization was quite good and it would have been nice to flesh it out a little more. I think the length of the movie as a whole was a little weak (70 minutes??). They could have made it a little longer.

The story line with Hulk was cool. I also am just kind of discovering Iron Man. I like the concept, and Stark is a cool character. Will have to check out his monthly title(s).

Looking forward to more Marvel titles of this (or better) quality.
