Bendis won't reign himself in. If he can't make an example then who the hell will. And I'm a 7 year long member. Besides that Simone's followers are the polar opposite. I look at that place like I did watching soaps with my wife.
Why do you think all the other creators forums on there have no movement? They want nothing to do with it.

I won't be watching it. Those leaks of Batman and the Batmobile look cool, but the basic premise of the worlds (the universes? The multiverses?) most powerful being fighting a non superpowered mortal with a utility belt does not interest me one bit. There's potential to make a good Batman movie, there's potential to make a good Superman movie, there is no potential to ever make a fight between the two worth anything but eye rolls and face palms. The fans of the movies are going to love it regardless. CGI, explosions, and their favorite heroes on screen looking cool. Casual fans of action movies or big budget releases will likely watch it and be disappointed. Fans of a good movie will probably skip it for the most part, a handful of them giving the benefit of a doubt and seeing it anyway. I think someone-- not Goyer, not Snyder-- could make a great film that focused on a conflict between Batman and Superman not in terms of a big splashy battle, but in terms of their having radically opposed views of the way the universe works. Such a film would have to be a lot subtler than the thoughts of John Byrne and Frank Miller on the subject-- though I very much liked the face-off of B & S in DARK KNIGHT RETURNS-- and it would have to be an entertaining action-adventure at the same time. The Bats-Supes crossover done for the SUPERMAN cartoon in the 90s was at least in the right ballpark. It could be done that way, but I'd still see it as a Batman/Superman teamup where they have a difference of opinion before I saw it as a Batman Versus Superman. And it's hard for me to see a Btman/Superman teamup working on film either. If Superman is so powerful, what help could Batman possibly be?

Dan did you ever live in Fyffe, Alabama in 1976? I'm watching this documentary about UFOs and alien abduction and there's a very clear photo taken there of a craft that's indisputably not human.

If it's this it's already been thoroughly debunked

Here's a site that has the picture ... ufo-blogg.blogspot.com/2012/12/ufos-over-fyffe-alabama-1989.html?m=1Although the resolution and quality are better on the documentary. It's on netflix instant viewing. The Hidden Hand. While the last 30 minutes are so drops into the delusional and crazy. The first hour of it comes off very even handed and informative. I believe we are not alone but some of the conspiracies towards the end seem ridiculous to logic and science.

In '76 I was blissfully ignorant of Alabama's charms. I was a lifelong Arkansan till 8/81, when I moved to Phoenix to go to grad school.
Which means I've lived in 3 of the 4 states that start with A (along with Louisiana). Something tells me I'll never get around to completing the set by moving to Alaska.

This is fun: Kurt Busiek's letter to the X-Men letters' page, and his reaction to it today:

Sorry, maybe it's just me, but I don't see his reaction. What did he say?

Can't see the entire conversation at twitter?
Here are some Busiek quotes from it:
(asked at what point he changed his mind about the Dark Phoenix Saga)

Here are some Busiek quotes from it:
(asked at what point he changed his mind about the Dark Phoenix Saga) " I haven't, really. That's when I stopped being a devoted X-Men fan, and never really got it back. (...) I don't hate the book, I just don't care about it the way I used to.
(...) I got it free for years but have only bought it intermittently, for an artist or writer I like."

The original Predator was the first scary movie I watched as kid (around the age of six) and I credit it for sparking my love for horror movies, science fiction and special effects makeups. (While it's an action thriller and not a traditional horror movie it shares elements of both monster movies and the slasher genre.)
I think the fact that they plan on a reboot speaks to just how disappointing the past three Predator films have been. While I would have liked to see a sequel to Predators I think a reboot if done well could be good for the franchise.

I think Weiland tends to overrule mods he deems too "soft." That is how my 3 day ban got turned into a month-long ban without me doing anything. Your comment about duper getting banned was already deleted. What'd you say?
