Yeah, they also did a lot of filming on the west side around Chelsea and the Brooklyn Naval yards.

That Nico Minoru is friggin’ dope. Look at the attatchable witch arm!!

New Yorker here! I can confirm that there are plenty of signs, on the subway or otherwise, that have neighborhood nicknames on them.

My girlfriend calls the Free Cosplay Repair folks “Comic Con Angels” and thinks (rightfully) that they are the best people at the cons. If you see one such Angel, give them a bottle of water, or a coffee, or a cookie, or a hug. They are the real heroes. Not the ones we deserve, but definitely the ones we need.

There’s excitement to be found in Hell’s Kitchen.

Totally agree!

NYC History time!

Hell’s Kitchen is a pretty small area, going from 34th st in the south to 59th street in the north and the Hudson River to Eight Avenue west to east. Look at it on google maps, it’s pretty small (which is why my NYC-based DD watching party always laugh when Matt grits his teeth and declares that he’s…

I’ve read his comics. I agree that technically and by many people’s definitions, he is a writer.

There was a great beat in Ultimate Spider-Man where Kingpin purchases the rights to all Spider-Man related marketing. And since Spider-Man himself is a teenager with a secret identity, he has no recourse, and simply looks on as Fisk rakes in the cash from Parker’s good deeds. It was an above average Bendisism.

Of course, if Tyrell and Mr. Robot are both in Elliot’s head, then it was just Elliot doubly talking to himself. It’s sort of like watching the movie Fight Club engaging in crazy BDSM sex with Inception, and the unholy lovechild that resulted in that union was kidnapped by Breaking Bad and locked in a basement for all…

I loved the Where is My Mind cover. I was sitting alone in my apartment talking to myself (or to Elliot) (or to Mr. Robot) (also, my roommate is named Elliot) (and his dad looks exactly like Gideon, which gives recent events a darker context) saying “wow, this is a lot like Fight Club. This is exactly like Fight Club.…

I watched this at a friend’s brithday party before I was into scary movies. My two weenie friends (one of whom was the boyfriend of the birthday girl) and I clutched each other in sheer terror.

I never watched scary movies until I was in college, then I got really into them. After graduation, my girlfriend was shocked that I had never seen the Shining. It was the first (and last) time she had ever seen a movie that I’d never seen. I was all “I’m totally over scary movies, let’s do this.”

No I got you, I’m just very excited.

Couple these comments with other recent additions to the Disney Star Wars canon...

Well there’s no story of Jack without Stan. But think of all the wildly different interpretations of their complicated relationship you could do. Best friends. Worst enemies. Abusively married. Colleages. Rivals. Star-Crossed. Tragic. It’s a sad, beautiful story of triumph and tragedy.

Thanks Rob, as a kid from Brooklyn and a long-time Cap fan I came here to point out exactly what you said.

Well I figure they’ve already done some basic color-correction and lighting fixes. These are the pics they sent to EW after all. But you gotta figure that there’s gonna be some digital changes, especially to that shot of Marten/Walter/etc. walking through what must be Mid-World right?

The thing that really got to me is how this is a sequel and not a straight adaptation. The Dark Tower is a lot of things, and one of the craziest and least adaptable aspects is all the metafiction, which I think is thematically at the core of the story. That was going to be the first thing to go.

In a number of places they’ve already expressed that this (or these if they make more) film(s) are acting as a sequel to the books. This is what happens on Roland’s journey when he has the Horn of Eld.
