Xander ,'First Date'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Kris Kristoferson? I don't think so...
He's about 75% of what got me to watch Blade II...
John Pertwee as a cross-dressing Doctor Who really disturbed me.
I'd never really thought about the actor's resemblance to Bea Arthur until I saw tthis comic strip.
Kris Kristofferson has got what we call the Haggard Factor. You cannot kill him. You can only make him more haggard.
I was likewise amused by the Gambit tirade, particularly because he is the all-time favorite X-Man of one of my best friends. I never thought that any part of Gambit was particularly uncool or chick-flicky, really. In fact, the first few story arcs of his solo series were pretty slick. I will admit, however, that his power is one of those mutations that are ridiculously deus ex. The con man has a power that happens to relate perfectly to the use of playing cards? You don't say! He's by no means the worst offender in that category, though (Banshee kind of does suck).
Well, to be fair Gambit can charge up pretty much any small object to explode... he just chooses to fling cards as part of his schtick.
I do remember when Whistler made it into the crawlspaces toward the end of Blade II, I thought to myself "Did none of the vampires ever watch a Die Hard movie? Forget Blade, now they're REALLY screwed!"

Exactly. He can and does charge up various objects. Cards are just light-weight and easy to carry. I mean, sure they were chosen for the "coolness factor", but they make a good deal of logical sense. How many other things can you carry 52 of in a pocket and still throw a decent distance.
JZ wants it known by all Futurama fans that she has found the prototype for Bender. (1948)
That's... startling!
That's a cool little article, Hec.
I think I about the money I'm going to spend collecting the DCAU on DVD and it makes me pause a bit, but it will be done eventually. So far I've only got BTAS 1, BB 1 and JL 1. I may skip getting STAS altogether, as it was my least favorite of the bunch.
I'm collecting the entire DCAU. So far I have:
Ooh, forgot I bought Mask of the Phantasm ages ago. Still my favorite Batman movie. Batman Begins is 2nd.
Hard to believe the last episode is this Saturday. I ahemed all the episodes from this season after CN put it on hiatus, but never got that one. I guess I was trying to put off the end as long as possible.
