Agreed about Jaws, or Silence of the Lambs, or even Psycho - where do they fall? In terms of "Haunted House/Ghost story" supernatural type horror, which I would argue The Shining falls into, not sure what else is out there.

I think Kubrick said stories with ghosts were by nature "optimistic" as it implies life after death is a thing. I am a big Kubrick fan and think there is a moral/philosophical center and undercurrent to most of his films, but he tends to make it more observational, like a nature film showing...

Sigh.... I know that is a common Kubrick take, but I don't take his style as cynicism as much as he lets you, the viewer, decide how to react to the behavior you are seeing. I put forth "Paths of Glory" for this. Admittedly, this did come to my mind. Sigh....

This will be known as the HasLab that broke Canprime's spirit.

Hot Take Time! The only truly great film that also happens to fall under the "horror" genre is The Shining.

I am surprised they haven't revisited that look.

Nothing is more embarrassing than having a bunch of warlocks and demons over and you pull the wrong Necronomicon off the book shelf and you start doing eye-pokes and slapping your own face instead of burning the flesh off of someone's body. I know we've all been there.

May not be that much more expensive than heading to San Diego in the grand scheme of things. But the Lucca con is huge - bigger than SDCC, and I suspect Europe is still a decent market for the line.

Yesavage has been pretty interesting, curious how much of his performance is the players not seeing him before and how much is his stuff. But they have used him in key situations all through the playoffs...

I don't have a problem with the Blip being an alt name for the Snap, I am sure there were a lot of names and theories as to what happened, and I wonder if most people believed it was some dude with a gauntlet with magic stones that did it. You have to wonder how planets who had no idea who...

SD is correct, the David run, especially the first half of it or so, is really good. Most has been collected in Omnibus format as well, although not all are in print. Hulk "The End" is also a good read, as is "Future Imperfect" as sort of out of continuity stories. (These were collected together...

I also went back and forth with these and decided that - despite these being the Sentinel design and accurate comic colors I was looking for - I was concerned they'd look too "plastic" or cartoonish. So decided to keep the more shiny and darker prior versions even if less old school. I hope...

Anyone heading to LegionsCon next weekend?

Some kind of Talisman where he is using the symbols to protect him from them?

No way that the factories can keep up with the Warbow demand. Not possible to get them to everyone by Nov 24th. Hasbro will likely have factories running night and day to hit that Dec 19th deadline. They may need special charter cargo flights to get them here by Christmas. Think Tickle Me Elmo...

Yeah, the idea was that the toys (1:18, mostly) were actual size based on the comics when the characters were here on Earth. That particular rule seems to have been relaxed for Bug when he is part of the Guardians. But the toy line and comics were inconsistent - Katza and Force Commander were...

I looked up Jahf as I was curious if he had popped up after his initial appearance (he has, but not too often). It was a stark reminder that his first appearance was 48 years ago, as was Hepzibah's - and that I had missed that X-Men 94 is now 50 years old. TENIME's attacks stinging a bit more...

Speculation was that Billie is too big a name now for the BBC to pay her for a full time role? I don't know, I mean she could be wanting to do it of course, but I think like Tennant she also knows the commitment and may not want to be The Doctor for a 3 or 4 year run and all that entails.

Being ancient and all, I went for the green more classic look for Multiple Man, and probably should sell the X-Factor ones that are somewhere in storage, likely stacked under the adult diapers and my box of receipts from the 1990's. If anyone is looking to army build the green, still up on...

Baseball playoffs are probably the most random in that even the best teams in baseball history lose about 1/3rd of their games, so even when a team wins a series 4-0 that is more of a fluke than "dominance" as the commentators like to say. Things that I feel make baseball more interesting and...

I just doubt she'd commit to it? Also, that they didn't introduce her as the Doctor makes me think Davies has something else planned than for her to be The Doctor that is more like a one off or short run.

Yep, the small, kind of scrawny basic Skrulls were well done by Marvel Select. Not very articulated but great for army building.

Consider yourself schooled...

More important than a redo of the Hellfire guards would be actual Hellfire member Harry Leland. Really they just need to re-release him - I doubt they would make him an army builder per se like the past packs, but just put him up for order again on Pulse and make to order. I think the most...

Just announced, Disney out after the War Between the Land and the Sea - next episode will be a 2026 Christmas Special, which will be written by Davies. Assume they will clear up this Billy Piper thing and I assume a new Doctor and showrunner will take over after the 2026 special...
