"Every movie I see in the cinema has to potential to be my last ever. I've really grown to hate the experience, and the advent of cell phones has only made it worse. In this case, there were only four other people in the theater, though, so it wasn't…"
"One thing I learned from this thread is that even after the contents of MAD magazine no longer appealed to me, the covers still did. I found a mint condition copy of this tpb online for $14 (cover price $25). "48 Years, 6 Months, & 3 Days"…"
"A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM (1935): Back in the '90s I went through a "Shakespeare movie phase" in which I bought or rented every Shakespeare movie I could find. That was the only other I time I saw this version. I didn't remember it being so long…"
"Another thing about Aki-chan... her parents, like so many, speak in her presence as if she doesn't understand. But she's smart. She doesn't have the emotional maturity or mental capacity to process exactly what they're saying, but she knows…"
"I forgot to mention Aki-chan standing atop the slide. Once she got there, did she ever come down? Not that we were shown. I haven't seen such single-minded determination in a child since Kwi Chang Caine. She obviously didn't have the emotional…"
"I know nothing about this topic so I asked AI to "help" me write a response.
On Gunn's firing:
I think Gunn’s firing is disappointing, especially considering how he was trying to build a cohesive DC universe without over-relying on the most famous…"
The first issue in a series of one-shots spotlighting individual artists. I flipped through it before I bought it to determine whether it was new or a reprint. I didn't recognize any of the story, so I bought it. It wasn't until after I got home…
Last time, you'll recall, Supergirl was exposed to Gold Kryptonite and lost all of her powers. This issue is less about "How will she get them back?" than it is "How will she move forward without them?" For all intents and purposes,…"
"ACTION COMICS #1104 - "Lex Luthor: Year One" - Part Two
In this issue (chapters IV through VII), Lex encounters Thomas, Martha and Bruce Wayne at a youth science fair in Gotham City. Recognizing that they need a male front for their schemes,…"
"I just added an update to my PC. Now, whenever I post a response to a thread, I'm prompted for "help" writing it. Just for grins, I clicked it while responding to the "Superboy" discussion. Here is what AI wrote for me: "I really enjoy how this…"
I gave this series a hard pass in back in '82, but I later bought the first two issues on the backissue market when I found out they were by John Byrne and Terry Austin. Those two issues were pretty…"
"One of the comments that I heard about this movie was that it was especially loud...
Really? In the theater we saw it, I was continually being annoyed by the sound from the movie next door bleeding through.
The rest of the music was OK but not…"
"This is the kind of thing, I think, people are worried about when beloved intellectual properties fall into the public domain, yet this was released in 1925."
"THE CRYPT OF COVERS: THE COMPLETE EC COVERS COMPENDIUM:
The most comprehensive compilation of EC Comics covers ever!
Here, for the first time, in a deluxe two-volume collection, is the best compilation of the covers from EC Comics. From the…"
Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
