Adam West, the one, true Batman, has died, aged 88. He had leukemia for a while now.

Rotten tomatoes gives it an extremely high mark. The description by a few critics make me think that Diana is treated as she was in George Perez's run, which I like a lot. I don't think I'll go see it in the theatre, but the WWI setting is very intriguing. So you'll be waiting for Gadot? (I've been waiting to use that pun for months now, not the best place to use it, but it was too bad to waste it.)

The Ultimate Universe was fun until Millar took over and killed everyone, IMO. Reed Richards being evil was not something I thought made sense, but it's true alot of people like him. Nothing to do with Millar.

Unless I'm thinking completely wrong here, the chances would be 100%, so you wouldn't need to look at any cards.
Cards are either red or black. There are an equal number of red (52) and black (52) cards. If you have 52 black cards in pile 1, you have 52 red cards in pile 2. 50 red and 2 black in pile 1? 50 black and 2 red in pile 2? And so on.

I'm not a fan of Wonderman, but I like that Wonderman is an actor, but a terrible actor. The only other noteworthy appearance of him I can remember was in Incredible Hercules. Ares, who had joined the Avengers at that time, and Wonderman were sent after Hercules, who was a fugitive. What follows is a list of events where Ares repeatedly attacks Wonderman (usually from behind), while shouting warnings to him, to get at his hated half-brother. (It's not much of a Wonderman moment, it's more about Ares and his incredible lack of subtlety. Any hero could be in Simon's place, though him being invulnerable makes it more comedic).

Bought the Flintstones after hearing so many rave reviews about it. Read it last weekend and so far all reviews seem to be right, I really enjoyed this.
Also working my way through an Image Humble Bundle I bought ages ago. If I have time, I'll probably post some mini-reviews on those).
Single issues: gave Generation X #1 a shot, but on the fence about it. Really loving the Wildstorm revival.

Oh and for those interested: these are all the movie posters of Simon Williams that were made for this movie (I think most of them were in deleted scenes though.) Simon Williams as Tony Stark is my favourite so far. edit: mmm.. facebook automatically embeds, but I can't see anything. "https://www.facebook.com/jgunn/posts/10154260858111157" (just remove the space) if you can't see the embed.

As a franchise, the Aliens movies are far beyond anything the Predator series has produced, based mostly on the strenght of the first 2 movies. The first Alien is a sci-fi classic with a lot of attention to detail and also one of the best horror movies ever produced. The second Aliens is one of the best sci-fi action movies. On the other hand, I enjoyed Predator, but it's a campy, over the top 80s action movie. Well crafted, but lacking the attention to detail the two Alien movies had.
The other movies in each franchise I remember less fondly, only Prometheus managed to make an impact (and most of that was not positive, but it still has some good points). I haven't seen Covenant yet nor the semi-recent Predators (which is already several years ago).
So the choice is between Alien and Aliens, and I go for Alien. More of an horror than an action movie fan.

Put the following amounts into envelopes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512.
It's basic binary maths.
(technically you'd need a bit more than 1000 dollars, 1023 dollars to be precise)

Might be a few differences from the novels but looks very good! Elba is a very interesting choice for Roland and can't wait to see his performance. McConaughey seems like the perfect slick choice for the Man in Black. Dark Tower movie (heavy spoilers for the end of the book series, don't read if you don't have read the books and want to) {Spoiler: Click to show}It's not an adaption, it's a sequel.
This is another cycle, where Roland will have the Horn of Eld, so every change from the books is intentional.

Enjoyed it a lot, glad to see a villain that gets a bit more characterisation than Ronan last time and also have some minor villains in the Sovereign.
Also happy to see the original Guardians show up (even if it was just a short appearance).
Nebula and Gamora got some much needed character development.
Downsides: Mantis was underused and the humor sometimes got a bit much.
Surpising: No Thanos appearance at all.

Kitty played an important part in the original DoFP. Either they introduced a new character for an important plotpoint in the movie (Rachel), which would leave Kitty completely out of the story (they can't send her back in time, because Kitty would be uhm... pretty ineffective in the First Class timeline) or give her Rachel's powers. I think this was the best choice.

I've gotten my hands on the Elric adaptions by Poli, Recht, Bastide and Blondel (with input from Moorcock himself). I don't have the comic here but Moorcock's intro says basically everything I have to say. (I'll copy and paste it when I get home)
The adaption pulls from Moebius, Olivier Ledroit and Chris Barker to portray Melniboné and it works for me.
