Snyder/Nolan/Goyer's Superman is just so chock full of fun, that I can't wait for the next installment.

Marvel Unlimited have just added 500 Star Wars comics to their library.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I see they also seem to have the series based on one of the first script drafts. :w00t:

I loved the old Marvel stuff.  The Zeltrons, the Nagai. the Hoojibs.  All plenty of fun.

Zeltrons aka space sluts. :lol:

The old comics were awesome (well, some were silly, like Han Solo basically doing a Seven Samurai story in the first couple of issues with a giant green rabbit and Don-Wan Kihotay). :bleeding:

I had fun watching it. :)

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Anyways, what surprised me a bit is that Marvel added a whole lot of comics from Dark Horse's run (they had the rights 1991 -2014), like Crimson Empire, Legacy or KotOR, so I guess Marvel either had a deal that those would revert to them when DH's license ran out, or they paid them for the rights as part of Disney/Marvel's Star Wars hype this year.

At any right, I have plenty of (re-)reading material.

I did too, but it had some awful tonal whiplashes.  It's actually a pretty great movie if you deleted literally less than sixty seconds (maybe thirty) but that minute or half-minute sticks in the craw so bad...

I did not like the cinematography in it very much, in terms of its bled-dry palette, which really dulled the sense of wonder.  I did look at the trailer for SvB, and that problem seems to have been largely corrected--it looks more like a Snyder film (more monochromed, but warm) than a Nolan one (simply gray, and cold), which is good, if still pretty far from ideal.

However, I thought they couldn't possibly do a Batman voice more laughable than Bale's bellowing.  Dear Lord.  You hire Ben Affleck, just... let the man fucking speak.

That would be wicked awesome if Batman talked like Tim.

He's one of the most famous billionaires in America. I don't think him using a voice modulator is too out there.

It's not, but I'd prefer to simply suspend my disbelief.

Best part is that he was playing Superman in that movie.  :D
