Not in the slightest. I went to see the original, and like Star Trek: The Motion Picture I was enraptured by the visuals and embarrassed by the story. As has been mentioned before, there were no memorable moments, dialog or characters. I don’t expect this to improve down the road.
I did call. Said so in the third sentence.
Apple stores are a disaster. It takes forever to get someone’s attention. I had a problem with my daugther’s laptop, called to make sure someone could handle the problem, drove out there (20 minutes) waited to get attention (10 minutes), had a “genius” look at the machine while I explained the problem (5 minutes),…
It’s hypnotic. Every time I watch it, I watch it and watch it and watch it...
My reading. I’ve written an app to track everything that I read, especially short fiction. I know many people who place strips of paper with a brief note, rating a title, or sometimes a full sheet with a review. I’ve bought many collections of short fiction and used magazines where the previous owner put a rating…
Not a GIF but you just can’t have it without the sound.
You can’t deactivate the trap in the burger using your mouth! How do you think Bruce Wayne has stayed alive so long. (Of course I am totally ignoring the fact that he’s discussing Bat-business in a crowded restaurant, like a rank amatuer.)
My faves go back much farther.
There are so many of these shows that I agree with, but in all cases I stopped watching before the show was cancelled. The original Flash TV series is one of the few shows I watched all the way through (hoping it would get better). It was just terrible.
The high-point of the series for me was when it looked like Liz was dead. I knew it was probably a trick, but I had high hopes. When the mid season finale happened my whole family was sitting there taking votes on wheather or not to keep watching when the show returns...
Hamill is a big Beatles fan. I friend of mine published a magazine about Beatles collectibles and he got a telephone interview with Mark about his collection. Apparently as a courtesy, Kenner sent an early model of the Luke Skywalker figure to Hamill and he asked for a couple of the final versions of the toy. They…
A spoof of the Punisher and Batman, this one probably suffered from poor distribution since I was only ever able to get three of four non-consecutive issues. It was pretty funny stuff. He saves a kid from the streets and calls him “Ammo” but his side-kick soon realizes that he’s one in a long line of Ammos...
Not a joke. Statistics showed that first issues of any new title did very well, but second issue sales dropped by half! DC decided to get Batman to appear in the second issue because cross-overs always sell to the people who collect Batman, for Marvel that character was Spider-man. Look at any new character’s debut…
