Same here!
Although I think, after Googling this actress, that I'm going to now.

Who was she on iCarly?
I mean, I guess I can just IMDB it.

Well his '80's material is clearly an evolution of the style he had developed late in the Spidey run, but to my eye everybody looks like they're poseable wire figures with wax flesh instead of people. But as I said, some of it is good, especially on ROM, because the blocky spaceknight figures fought his tendencies to…

It depends on the terms of the license — I don't know how the Conan stuff worked, but it's possible anything Marvel created for the Conan books was property of Howard (or his successors in interest). That's how it worked on the Star Wars comic, which is why Dark Horse was allowed to reprint it.

You and I are very different people. Let us leave it at that.

Weeeell, they wouldn't be **wrong** exaclty.

Restaurants pour butter on basically everything. Which is one of the cooler subsidiary benefits of Obamacare — they have start putting calorie content on the menus now. Not that you're likely to see a 2500 calorie pasta dish, because they're changing their recipes so they don't have to be so embarassed.

Pretty sure Swartzwelder's going to turn out to be a Protestant, so it's really "eat a cracker that symbolizes my body! Drink some wine that is semiotically related to my blood!"

Yeah, there sure are a Lot of them these days.

So, both?

I saw that film in the theater when I was nine years old, and mostly I remember him refering to his equipment as his "John Thomas."

You said that people were "clued in behind the scenes" not to like it. That's what I'm objecting to. No one needed to be clued in not to like it. Obviously, some people did like it, but just as obviously, the critical consensus is based on what's on screen, not on gossips.

Ditko took over ROM, I think around issue 50. He has some really sweet issues, but like a lot of his Marvel output from the '80's, it was too indulgent (charitably, because it's heavily stylized; alternatively, because it's lazy).

It's true, colors designed for newsprint have never, to my knowledge, been effectively reprinted because they're always too garish on paper that doesn't soak them up. It's the same way the Star Trek uniforms look so cartoony — they were made in a period of time when TV sets weren't that great.

They can't. They don't have the rights to Fu Manchu anymore. Shang-Chi was an original creation, but the supporting cast is mostly owned by Sax Rohmer's estate, as is Fu himself, who appears in more than half the issues.

Yeah, he was a one of the guys who never missed a deadline. There's maybe a happy medium between speed and virtuosity (I like Sal a lot, but he's no Bill Sienkiwecz), but you hav to think of the context of that late '70's early '80's work. Throughout the '70's Marvel was missing deadlines all over the place, shoving…

It has its moments. It had lots of serialized stories, while Team-Up was, I think, mostly one and dones. And of course it has one of the greatest single issues of a Big-Two capes book in history. I am talking, of course, of #98, "Vid Wars," where Ben gets trapped in a video game.
No no, just kidding. Actually it's…

But the power-struggle is irrelevant to your contention, which is that the critics were in on a conspiracy to tank the film. But the critics didn't like the movie simply because it isn't a very good movie.

Since we both didn't read it, I'm not sure of your evidence for that assertion.
Also, contract of adhesion, construed against drafting party, unequal sophistication of parties, yadda yadda yadda.

Everyone is decieving you and violating the contracts you've signed, so it shouldn't matter that we do it too!
Go fuck yourself, Christian Rudder.
