I'm reading the book 'The Making Of Day Of The Dead', and in it they mention the filming location of The Wampum Caves, later known as the Wampum Industrial Facility. Well, the facility is just like the film. A huge 2 million square feet underground storage area where everything and anything is stored. In the film it is mentioned that stored down there are "the negatives of all your favorite movies". Well, the book mentions that the negatives of the Star Wars films were stored down there. With so much stuff stored down there I wonder if the originals are still there !

Bah ! Why do they continue to put the dates of these special editions as 1977, 1980 and 1983 ?

I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon than see these versions again.

I may well get over to the exhibition though.

Star Wars Costumes was delivered to me today.

At the moment I have just flicked through but the book looks awesome. A wealth of reading material and loads of pictures. Some costumes have more pages devoted to them such as Darth Vader. Costume design modifications as the films progressed are shown too. There are some fold out pages as well. Costumes are displayed on mannequins but there are some costumes such as Chewbacca which show the individual mask and feet. Various pictures of different pilot helmets and all the things we love are pictured here.

Great stuff !

Thought I would check out the return of Sensation Comics.

What you get here is two stories per issue. Each has a different writer and artist and the stories are not linked to any continuity that is going on at the moment. The writers have free run for a WW story set at any time. The first issue for example had a story from before the new 52. WW was in her old costume and Barbara Gordon was still Oracle. The next story has Diana in new 52 costume. Good start for the series and it looks like I am in this for the long run.

Yeah, looking forward to this.

It's gonna be an expensive time as the ALIEN archive is released on the same day.

Awesome.

Oh yeah...

 Same here. I still have it in almost mint condition in the plastic bag. The box is okay apart from the end flaps which are battered to hell.

I'm off to see Dallas v Jacksonville at London Wembley on 9th November.

Oh, wow! That's awesome!

If we build it big and out of ice it would bring in a lot of GOT tourists.

This was fun.

 Lol. Awesome!

Nothing to see here !

It took me a year to kill and get past the big snake in Resident Evil PS1.

...And I have never been able to get a single mini onto the coach at the end of The Italian Job PS1.

Bah!

I would vote NO because I don't want the blue taken out of the best looking flag in the world :-)

Also, because we may have to rebuild Hadrian's Wall to keep the barbarians from coming back over here. Or is that a rumor ?

Nope. At the last London Film and Comic Con a few months back, I saw both Kenny and Dave in wheelchairs next to each other. Last November, Dave was walking with a stick at a Hammer Films event. The fact that he was in a wheelchair surprised me too. I will be seeing Dave again in November so I'll see what's going on.

Last time I saw Kenny Baker and Dave Prowse, they were both in wheelchairs.

Welcome back.

Will you be updating Savestarwars with any new info ?

Ah, no. Sad news. :(

Apart from Batgirl from the tv series, I was reading some of the Batman comics in the 70's and they used to sometimes have a short Batgirl story at the end.

I have this comic. This page from Giant Size Batman Family.ve

I need to look at a real Batgirl now to cleanse my eyes...

Ah, much better!

 Ahh, yes that's more like it.

I wonder if Batgirls new boots are steel toecaps for busting skulls ?

Basically what is happening is re-vamp of the whole comic. Barbara Gordon is going to lose all her possessions in a fire. She then relocates outside Gotham and goes back to school, blah,blah...

They are going to change the tone of the comic because they think that since the New 52 reboot, the comic is too dark in story. So with this new storyline they will lighten things up. The costume is all about being a trendy 21 year old and the little girls will like it and it is good for cosplay!

Interview with new creative team...

When the current story ends, that's me out as well.

I'm so excited about this now. There has got to be some truth to it please!

 I bet you're excited to finally see yourself back in the cantina, but in HD ;)

 Huzzah !

The new re-design Batgirl costume. What a pile of bat droppings!

I'm so excited about this now. There has got to be some truth to it please!

The only film I have seen him in was sci-fi  Jumper (2008), and I can't really remember anything about it apart from time jumping around the world.

Wow! I have been looking at more pictures of those figures above. They look awesome. I am really impressed by the Gamora figure. The likeness is fantastic. I showed my son the figure picture and he thought that it was a photo of Zoe Saldana ! I may have to invest in these.

Off to see the film again tonight.
