Curly, the movie only got greenlighted after the cartoon was a success, IIRC— cartoon came out in 1987 and the movie was three years later. It is pretty impressive how much they stuck to the comic, though.

Yeah, I think you would've been mobbed if you hadn't brought up TMNT.

I was such a lover of the TMNT franchise that I basically followed him from then on, at least in the movies I was allowed to see. So I'm one of the, what, twenty people who watched Cyborg 2 for Elias Koteas.

At least the Cub had the baby cart to hide in.

3D always gives me a headache. I like that this allows you to dial it back/off.

santos, the original DS Lite or even the DSi are pretty cheap, and the DS Lite has a gameboy port.

Most of the DS games now can be played/paused whenever. And I don't have a smartphone and love the stuff I have on my DS.

"Honestly, comics were much better off when the superhero stuff was ostensibly for kids and young people, but still able to be enjoyed by adults. "

Also: The earlier comics collections just got remaindered, presumably to make room for this new compilation, so if you're on a budget keep a look out for them in the bargain book section.

There was a Liefeld joke on one of the Disney tween shows the other day. My kid couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard. The man's incompetence has passed to the status of legend.

There's so much more out there, from hipster navel-gazing to Japanese comics with big…

I really enjoyed the few, brief fights we got where Angel and Connor fought together— the choreographers seemed to work hard to put a 'family resemblance' in there.

SPOILERY I GUESS

"His number one fault - being annoyingly judgemental towards Buffy - seems to me to be pretty easy to forgive, since it so obviously was really about the fact that he fancied her (and, honestly, it tended to feel a bit like something the writers were forcing him to do to tell us, the audience, that yes he still…

Yeah, maybe that Willow never turned evil and Tara comes as part of that wish, but…otherwise no.

What about Hulu numbers? FX has their shows on there too.

"Something tells me they're not going to get Ron Perlman level actors for a comic book adaptation"

Yeah, you could milk a lot of tension/humor out of the lockout.

And if a show isn't making money, how long are they supposed to lose money on it? Lights Out certainly wasn't shaping up to be a critical hit like Mad Men.

Subway is very good, for what it is.
