In a forum about super hero films some one said they didn't like Marvels lighter tone. I made a clearly jokey comment about their inner child being dead. The only way it could've been more clearly inoffensive is if I added a smiley face of some sort. If that actually managed to offend the poster (which I really can't imagine) and they complained, I'd have happily apologized, but I'm reasonably sure the mod in question read the comment and took it upon themselves to take offense on the posters behalf. They sent me a warning, which I should have just ignored and deleted (lesson learned), but I responded with a snarky, tongue-in-cheek comment about how "pseudo-fascist" the board was getting (not the mod specifically, just the board), and got banned for 2 weeks for "rude PM". I've been on here since, and I'll probably be here more than there now (that place is just no fun any more).
Ugh. Yeah, I don't see myself going back. I still enjoy the interviews, blogs and reviews, but it seems you can't have strong, even if benign, opinions anymore. I posted a comment about Frank Miller's ranking being about right on the Top Batman artists comment section. This was okay, but right at the end I stated something to the effect of "Neal Adams and Jim Aparo are the only choices for #1 and #2." This one part was removed. Now, was it removed because I spoiled the mystery? Was I being too opinionated? Very odd.
It's a little like Capt. Jellico took over...

I'm watching the new Friday the 13th movie because my wife wants to see it but not alone. 20 minutes into it and I'd rather be playing Army of Two with my son. The compromises one makes in marriage ...
But yeah ... you're right, of course. I've mentioned before that Ambien has about as much effect on me as candy would. In sharp contrast, after finding that it did nothing for me, I gave the rest of my prescription to a co-worker, who reported that she was unable to make it across the kitchen floor after taking one.
I'm going to go ahead and advise you not to admit to any other felonies on the internet.
LOL ! Thanks for the laugh, Slam !
That banana soda looks good to me. One I saw advertised years ago but never found was Pineapple Crush.

I was banned in the discussion about body image. Someone said it's easy to get as ripped as Wolverine if you aren't lazy and work out once in a while. I said I personally know a guy who lives in the gym and cycles four types of steroids and squats nearly 600lbs and doesn't look anywhere near as ripped as Wolverine. I should have just asked him why he wasn't as ripped as Wolverine if it's so easy.

How new? I like those movies
2009. Got it on disc from Netflix. The main protagonist is Sam from Supernatural. I just care very little for slasher flicks. Halloween has been the only one to hold my interest.

Ooh, yeah that movie was horrible. I still can't understand how Hollywood keeps making all these god awful remakes. Are people really that naive? I mean, with all of the hundreds of amazing books out there that have yet to receive a movie adaptation, they continue to rehash the same old stuff. I just don't get it.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same. Especially since the slasher concept is so formulaic they could make a new Jason movie with a different title and a different mask and it would still be the same story.
So many movies are remakes, sequels, and licensed properties. It's pointless. I remember when a trilogy was rare in most genres, non existent in others. Now they plan every big release for the trilogy, then the sequel trilogy, then the prequel trilogy, then the reboot trilogy. I'm also not a fan of CGI characters, won't watch movies with them. So I already know I won't be watching the new Star Wars. How could they possibly resist the temptation to add a bunch of CGI characters? I don't think the technology is there yet. I don't know if it ever will be. I feel like I'm watching Roger Rabbit. It completely takes me out of the movie seeing this PS2 looking creature interact with the cast. I think a well done puppet is much better.
That being said, I think well done CGI objects can work. Buildings, backgrounds, machines and vehicles. Still, have to be well done. Plenty of stuff out there brings it right back to Final Fantasy X as far as believability. That's okay for a Pixar movie, but not for blending with real life settings and actors.

Additionally, DC Comics has published a short blog post on the news, that while crediting Kane as the sole Batman creator, does mention "frequent collaborator" Bill Finger as scripting the character's first appearance in 1939's "Detective Comics" #27.
Since his first appearance in the May 1939 issue of Detective Comics #27 – conceived of and drawn by a 22-year-old Kane with his frequent collaborator, Bill Finger, scripting the story – Kane’s Batman has gone on to become the star of comic books, Saturday afternoon cartoons, newspaper comic strips, radio shows, a live-action TV series, animated films, video games and several of the largest-grossing theatrical releases of all time. In short, Kane’s Batman is the most popular single superhero ever created.
I think DC is trying to honor Finger as much as the contract that binds them allows here. Obviously Finger deserves so much more, but I am not sure DC can do that and not be in breach of contract. Hollywood itself has never really cared who created something, just who got the credit for it, so there will be no second thoughts on that end either.
