Today it was confirmed that Warner Bros would be backing away from their Batman v Superman release date once again, this time positioning their tent-pole movie in March 2016. Like many, I was not surprised to see Warner Bros giving in and changing their release date against the successful Marvel studio because not only was Captain America more successful in its latest release (Captain America The Winter Soldier) but it also was one of the most critically acclaimed superhero films ever released. There is also an irony to all of this too; because it signals Warner Bros doesn't have as much faith in their superheroes as they should, after all Batman v Superman will bring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to the big screen together for the first time. Up against that was Captain America, which prior to Captain America The Winter Soldier was a B-list character for Marvel. But as The Winter Solider demonstrated, and which the more recent Guardians of the Galaxy proved once more, Marvel has an uncanny ability to transform B-list characters into A-list stars.
In other news, Warner Bros has announced it has scheduled DC superhero film right through to 2020. Will spandex fatigue kick in? After all, as history showcased in the 1980s with the saturation of horror movies, its never a good idea to saturate the audience with the same product.

Sorry to hear you have been sick Cei-U! I generally dont like to talk about my life online but your situation reminds me of a situation I went through several years ago where I became very ill with an infection and had to go to hospital. As it turned out, I was too sick for the hospital to do anything, so I hope your situation doesnt prove as complicated and wish you a speedy recovery!

[For what it's worth, when I bite the big one, I'd love to have you folks at my funeral. My wife knows this. Moving this over from the Capt. Jim thread because I didn't want to make light comments that his family & friends might read ... ... so I'll note here that I'd love to come to shaxper's funeral. Hmmm. I'm not sure how that sounds, come to think of it. Oh, well.

(As for me, I'm not sure there'll be enough left to bury after the cats get through with my carcass, as Kurt has convinced me will be the case ... not that I needed much convincing. The littlest one, Allie, is already fond of licking me around the mouth, & her brother, Sandy, often does the same. I think they're just trying out the taste for future references.)

... so I'll note here that I'd love to come to shaxper's funeral. I've politely asked the cultists not to politely ask me to kill myself, so it might be a while...

If you precede me (not at all likely, I should add), I'll arrange for a special commemorative showing of The Seventh Victim in your honor.

I don't want my death to ruin anyone's day. I want people to really believe I am in a better place (despite the fact most anyone that knows me knows I don't believe that) and not take my mortality as hard as I do. I will save for the funeral costs at some point if I live long. I'll have an open bar for everyone cause drinking makes me happy so I assume it will for the people there. (Except maybe Dan if yall were there, with the Cron's and all. But everybody else drink up cause that's why it's there!) My wife knows most of all that I don't want sadness, which I know is a double standard since death scares and saddens me whenever I hear about it. I guess I don't want people to feel like I do, so I want them to be happy, or at least not sad ... somewhere in the middle. I also hope, despite not wanting to die, that it is me before me wife. I don't think my mind or liver and kidneys would survive the punishment I would lay on them if I were alone.

I don't think my mind or liver and kidneys would survive the punishment I would lay on them if I were alone. It's not something I ever think much about, but I'm pretty mindful of the fact that I have no family to speak of, & when I go, I have no idea who might make any sort of arrangements, or what those might be. I guess I should put my wishes, such as they are, on paper. There's only one space left in the cemetery plot in my hometown, & that's for my sister, on whom, as her de facto guardian, I've been paying burial insurance now for some 30 years (to the point that the total premiums are probably more than double than what the policy will pay). How cheery! I was thinking just a couple of hours ago, while coming back from a doctor's appointment (routine yearly checkup), that in 2 years & 6 weeks I'll be older than my mother was when she died a few hours short of her 57th birthday, assuming I'm still here. (My father, of course, was gone at 34.)

You might at least want to make arrangements for your cats.

I'm fine with being put in a gunny-sack and tossed in a drainage ditch.
