Re:

Yeah, this is all very flattering but I kinda feel that we are kinda going off-topic The hypothesis was that Toy Story 3 is overrated. This far it looks like many of you are ready to agree with that. I'll hand it to you. You're keeping your cool in the face of all the teasing. Good on ya! And yeah,...

I'd sure enjoy seeing those Ghibli shorts! Alas, all I'll have to see soon that's new to me is the upcoming DVD of the poorly-reviewed Tales of Earthsea.

I wonder how this actually syncs up with current copyright law, in terms of timeframes. It's all so confusing when you read the history of these laws, and how they're applied. And challenged, and changed. Just goes to show how artificial the notion is (not that I'm against copyright--- but the issue...

The books I actually buy now are mostly classic comic strip and comic book reprints. (I can't ever see going totally digital on these, especially stuff like the enormous Prince Valiant and Popeye volumes.) And some newer comics stuff, but I'm getting pretty selective. Once I have an iPad, I'll be ev...

I'll agree with you on the Moore stories. They're the best. My other fave from the past couple of decades or so is the first chapter of Superman For All Seasons, the only Loeb-written book I've loved. I can't disagree on Morrison either. What you've said is true. Still... I like a lot of his stuff d...

Re: Am I the only one who didn't like Toy Story 3?

I think that’s a pretty common reaction to hype. Not for me. Personally, I enjoy seeing others do well. Why should it bother me? I didn't enjoy The English Patient or understand the praise directed at it, but I never spouted hate at it or Miramax. What's the right word here? Pettiness? Or just imma...

Sad, but true. Online booksellers and digital books are killing B&M stores. I try to throw some sales at my fantastic local bookstore (McNally Robinson), since I love browsing their massive two stories and they have a great cafe; but at the same time I can't often justify passing up the 30-50% savin...

Oh, way to go with killing a discussion with cold, hard facts, Droo. ;) Sure, there are similarities in a variety of sci-fi (and other) stories. There's little new under the sun, after all. And yes, Cameron is familiar with all these things. It's natural to be influenced by them. (That includes Came...

Re: DC Universe Animated Original Movies

Wow, nice review, George! Remember, the offer's still open to write reviews for the main page! All-Star Superman is the best Superman film I've seen in my lifetime. :shock: Okay, now I'm really excited to see this. My review copy will be here any day now. I plan to force my wife to watch it with me-...

Re: Am I the only one who didn't like Toy Story 3?

I’m still trying to figure out why you all think I deserve to be the subject of “scorn and derision” in the first place. Apparently, jokes don't translate well in print. :cry: It was more a comment on how you feel you're being treated, not on how we think we're actually treating you. (Well, Ben cam...

Ah, you only say that because you haven't tried the peanut butter ones refrigerated yet.

But crispies are good, too. I can't argue that. :)

Either plain or peanut butter, please. But if you get the peanut butter ones, I prefer them refrigerated first.

And now, back to our show...

I don't care for popcorn, actually. But, hand me a bowl of M&Ms, and I'm there! :)
