Yeah I had read about this- I'll be sure to pick it up to help, albeit in a small way, their cause. Sad but I'm glad the creators came together like that.

While back on comics, who'd like to step up and give me a brief history of just what the heck Marvel is doing right now. I don't mean story-wise but more what's going on with their various 'imprints'...

I get what DC is doing:
Regular continuity titles.
'All-Star' titles (outside continuity tales)
The usual Elseworlds, Vertigo, Wildstorm, etc (same as they've been for awhile)

But with Marvel I'm not exactly as clear. IS there a 'REAL' Marvel continuity any more?
I see:
Ultimate titles (alternate continuity I guess, do they all have to 'match' ie do all the Ultimate titles follow same cont.?)
Max titles (adult oriented titles?)
Marvel Knights (???)
House of M 'titles'? (all one big What If? story? Regular cont.?)

anything else I've missed?

The shop I used to manage sold both games (among others) and the running jokes were 'Wallet Hammer' and 'cardboard crack' both because of the amount of money people spent on the game.

Back to the 'I love' theme... I love that the 'fake' Stinky-Dinkins disappeared almost immediately after I insinuated that a certain AWK was in fact THAT user. Go figure.

The trick is to just get back at them, Shim- Just say "Hey while you're there bring me out some toilet paper... I just passed gas and you can never be *too* sure!"

I'll bet they NEVER tell you they have to pee again!

LOL... don't worry- the haters are less and less around here.

Nah, I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but I guess seeing it in a cool old theater (Tampa Theatre, Tampa Florida) after having been mildly disappointed in 'Mimic' it holds a fond place in my heart.

He also directed 'Blade II' which is my favorite of the series and which you may have seen. But for 'classic' Del Toro (he hasn't done *that* many films yet) I would start with the film 'Cronos' and then try to find 'The Devil's Backbone'- but be warned that both are subtitled and I know this turns some people off.

Del Toro is attached to the film version of the game 'Halo' which Peter Jackson is producing so that could be interesting too.

I'll definitely be first in line for that!


Me too- especially after following their name boo-boo in my half asleep stupor!

NOT to be confused with Carpenter's 'In the Mouth of Madness', his Stephen King/Lovecraft tribute.

And yeah- I want more Hellboy too!

I really enjoy most of what I've seen from director Guillermo Del Toro. I watched 'The Devil's Backbone' over the weekend and liked it a lot. His 'Cronos' is a classic IMO and I thought 'Hellboy' was fun (being a fan of the comic as well).

I'm greatly looking forward to his upcoming 'Pan's Labyrinth' and got excited today when I read that he plans on adapting (with designer and really nice guy William Stout) H.P. Lovecraft's 'At the Mountains of Madness'- one of my favorite Lovercraft novellas and one I always wished to see come to screen in capable hands (as it could play a lot like 'The Thing').

There the talk started and the mexican director asked Stout to work for 2 of his new projects one being the "Pan´s Labyrinth" and the other the adaptation of Lovecraft´s "In The Mountain of Madness". Stout seems the perfect man for this project as he claims he loves that novel and that he even went to the Antartic because of it, an expedition that left a deep impression on his persona and seems he handled art work for that project to Del Toro although claiming he fears the director will work fisrt on the sequel to Hellboy.

from AICN

Anyone else a fan of Del Toro's work?

added- and excerpt from Lovecraft's story to whet your whistle:

The half-mile walk downhill to the actual city, with the upper wind shrieking vainly and savagely through the skyward peaks in the background, was something of which the smallest details will always remain engraved on my mind. Only in fantastic nightmares could any human beings but Danforth and me conceive such optical effects. Between us and the churning vapors of the west lay that monstrous tangle of dark stone towers, its outre and incredible forms impressing us afresh at every new angle of vision. It was a mirage in solid stone, and were it not for the photographs, I would still doubt that such a thing could be. The general type of masonry was identical with that of the rampart we had examined; but the extravagant shapes which this masonry took in its urban manifestations were past all description.

It's funny, my personal "I'm not going to reply to any of his posts" didn't last a day before he was banned

Actually I had been on that tactic for quite some time now (actually about a month) which if you re-read any threads that we both posted in you can see... and he actually did give up 'saying' anything to me.

But on a happier note- here's my cigar contribution:

Well, as you can see, its wrapper is a piece of the original U.S. Constitution. It was hand-rolled by Queen Elizabeth during her "wild years", and was buried with George Burns, until grave-robbing space mushrooms... well, you know the rest

I figured we should combine these into one thread instead of one for each request.

This is NOT a thread to ask where to get copies of existing fan edits - this is where people who have ideas or suggestions for fan edits can ask if anyone is interested in taking the project and / or discussing requested projects that are already in the works…

The dangers of being Bond... poor guy!

Daniel Craig, who takes over the role of James Bond in the currently filming Casino Royale, lost two front teeth in his very first fight scene in Prague, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. A stunt reportedly went awry, and Craig took a punch full force in the mouth, the newspaper reported.

Initially, the crew and director Martin Campbell thought Craig was simply acting as he stumbled backward clutching his mouth. But they realized something was wrong when they saw blood begin to pour out of the actor's mouth.

The London Daily Mirror reported that Craig had his personal dentist, Rod McNeil, flown to Prague from London to patch him up. Craig had caps implanted to fix his broken teeth, and he now has been given six gum shields to wear for all of his stunt sequences for the remainder of filming on the $120 million film project, the newspaper reported.

Meh, maybe its a 'celebrity' author thing or something. I met Peter David a few years back. I had quite admired his work at the time and told him so- his response was something along the lines of "Yes yes well of course... I *am* good." The problem was he wasn't kidding and seemed very disinterested in being at the convention he was at. Then again we all have bad days so you never know.

On a side note I find it interesting and a bit heartening that several older comic creators have been brought back into the fold! When I last was reading comics (up to about '98) it seemed as if the punk artists had taken over (McFarlane, Liefield, etc) and instead of creating better comics it was all about splash pages and alternative covers, etc. I know that and more (speculation and so on) led to the crumble of the industry for awhile. Its a bit frightening though that, as I look through a current issue of Wizard, the 'hot' books are not so much story-driven ones but... *gasp*... alternate covers! Now the comics I've been picking up lately are entirely for the stories and to see what's been going on and I have no desire to 'collect' per se anymore (wallet won't allow it) but I hope that I didn't come back just in time for another useless speculation boom.
