Yeah, I never got my Backyard Heroes "Prince of Crystal" either; but I'm pleasantly surprised with this one.

England's missing out! (It's not a great movie, but it's fun!) The 28 DAYS LATER spin, that is dark! And that's coming from somebody who considers LEAVING LAS VEGAS a triumph of the human spirit. (He had a goal, he stuck to it and achieved it!)

I feel like Mattel or somebody missed an opportunity to sell a hideously-unsafe home version of the Planetary Chance Machine. "Wind 'er up, and let 'er rip! Which planet will pick YOU!" (Some assembly required. Some parts may be a choking hazard. Eye protection recommended.)

The gold and ISO are gettable, getting the catalysts takes forever. Good hauls this month, though!

Captain Cold's a Cubs fan, in-canon! I don't know if it's come up again since 1990, though.

I've enjoyed the new ones I've been able to catch! "The Elevator" and "The Shadow Man" I remembered from when they were first on.

If you see it, let me know: I swear there's a Siskel/Ebert where one of them mentions they can't stand when characters in a movie, are watching a BETTER movie... It's just a little off-the-cuff snark, but still kind of a good point.

Hexham was the one with the magic pig. Three seasons from Hanna-Barbera if I'm not mistaken.

The Sunsphere, Wig-o-Sphere, whatever it's called, was on "Toon In with ME" yesterday, and it had to be KILLING them not to mention that episode.

Don't hold me to this, but I swear there was a time, when UNCANNY wrapped, and the longest-running sequentially numbered book Marvel had going was VENOM.

I keep thinking, every year or so, an old version of the Legion shows up to hassle Booster Gold about his flight ring. The fifth or sixth time it happens: BEETLE: Have you considered just giving it ba-- BOOSTER: NEVER.

Shit, Latvia's real? I thought that was where Doctor Doom was from. (I'm joking, and it sucks you got dinged there; but still, isn't it kind of neat to even interact with someplace like that?)

There's some CGI stuff that used to drive me up the wall, like blood effects: just mix up some karo syrup! It has to be cheaper, and looks a million times better. But, sadly, there could be other factors making CGI their best option. Still looks crap, but I guess.

Oh, yes. It's just dismaying sometimes, when they do a big push for something like that, that sinks like a stone. (I was thinking of the GUNSLINGER movie, there was a ton of statues and figures and whatnot.)

Y'know, I made fun a bit ago, that Ross was gonna be just swamped with McFarlane Black Adam figures for ever, but I think they moved a bunch of those? Which might mean 'sold' or might mean 'moved out to a dumpster out back,' I'm not sure.

If it's any good, I'll let you know! I'm willing to let them have another try. (Harbour was good casting, but they tried to cram too much graham into that movie to make it a franchise.)

It's at the end of APOLLO 18, and it's a bunch of short songs! I'm used to hearing them in order, or maybe one randomly.

My computer's playing They Might Be Giants' "Fingertips," but in reverse order, which is somehow profoundly unsettling.

With a joke mostly stolen from MST3K! If I had, say, a record player, and production values, I'd love to make a little loop of Bishop spinning through time; which really should be the GIF there.

Oh, they're dodgy as hell, but absolutely! There are better quality reprints--so to speak--but I love the gritty, no-def, fly-by-night cheap ones. (Because I'm cheap!)

Maybe these are some Batman panels that might do some good. Even if they are part of a really bad crossover! (STAR TREK III alien voice: "Genesis is crossover forbidden!")

I'm not sure I even noticed the alien dudes had names! And, you were right on the Elongated Man story; but he used trick contacts instead of sending him to another dimension, which feels like a budget solution.
