Hey!
Even after culling out all the offers to give me free Viagra
and a better mortgage rate (not to mention a lot of smacking
of body parts upon other body parts), we still got a lot of
letters this week!
Marvel
Comics: Only The Lonely...
I notice
that part of the "new
direction" for Thunderbolts is to dress the girls
in "ho" outfits.
--David
Busby
This
has long been a Marvel tactic that only partially accounts
for the high popularity of cover artist Greg Horn, and definitely
accounts for selling all the copies of Marville that weren't
purchased by Bill Jemas himself. Coming soon: Marvel After
Dark.
Remember
that Marvel President Jemas often refers to Elektra as their
Saturday night date book for lonely fanboys. I'd be offended
if I wasn't afraid it just might be true.
Pulling
Out The Encyclopedia
Can you
send me a complete list of Arch-enemies in Marvel? Thank you.
--Jon
Begin
Yipes.
This is either a job for Kurt Busiek or someone with all the
Marvel HeroClix, which I suspect may be the reason for your
question.
Kids,
please remember to be specific in your asking questions of
us, and that for many questions, we may be asking Jeeves just
like you could.
However,
Jon, if this is about HeroClix, my recommendations are the
WizKids
site or HeroClix
Realms, which is a pretty cool place to go to hang out
with other addicts of the game.
Not
that we're addicted...
Hey!
I Do Know The Answer To This One!
Hello,
I googled Beautiful Killer and your site came up. What
can you tell me about Beautiful Killer in terms of
the life of the issues and how many there are? I was told
that it was a new book, but by the sounds of the reviews of
the books it seems like it's already done.
--Neally
Strickland
Beautiful
Killer was a three-issue mini-series that wrapped up a couple
of months ago. Created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Phil Noto, it
was a product of Wizard Entertainment's comics line, Black
Bull. Which itself seems rather quiet lately...
Anyway,
the mini-series did end with the promise of more to come,
and a film adaptation is in development, slated to star Jessica
Alba. Talk about your Saturday night...
Reaching
Out To Oz...
(in Australia)..we
have virtually no wrestling on TV here any more :( .
Vinnie
Mac, in all his wisdom, decided to double his asking price
for episodes in the new contract and was told to get stuffed.
We now have UFC in its place *sigh* so I need you guys more
than ever.
You ARE
my wrestling fix! Thanks for all the hard work. Had it not
been for you I would never have known about Firefly,
a magnificent show that will probably never make it to Aussie
TV.
--Arian
from the Corner Pub
We are
always happy to serve the global community. It's a bummer
to hear that Australia won't be getting Wrestlemania
XIX (subtle plug for our contest).
As
for Firefly, many of us mourn it as well. The good captain
of that ship, Nathan Fillion, is now free to cause trouble
for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, as it was announced today that
he has been cast for the final five-episode arc. Fillion will
play a defrocked preacher who has allied himself with demons.
Kingdom
Heartseses?
Hi. I
have a question about Kingdom Hearts. I've beaten the
game and watched the ending about 3 times, so i definitely
know theres gonna be a sequel...but how many?
A friend
just told me that she read in a magazine that there will be
6-9 sequels. I'm not a big sequel fan,but do you know if this
is true?
--Servizzim
I
turned this one over to Mish'al Samman, lover of all games
Japanese. Mish'al played the sequel during his trip to Japan
last December. When I found him in his cubicle, he was heavy-lidded
and slack-jawed, but your question stirred something within
him.
"Squaresoft
is the king of sequels," he rumbled, "but the real
question is...will Disney okay more?"
To
which I respond, Disney will okay anything that will keep
Mickey in cheddar, if you know what I mean. So count on there
being as many sequels to Kingdom Hearts as the public will
buy. Me? I'm still trying to finish up Spider-Man: The Movie
for PS2. It rocks; I suck.
And
Now, The Exchange I Thought We'd Never Have...
Re:
Soul Survivors: You said if anyone could explain who got
killed at the beginning they should tell you.
The chick
that got killed at the beginning is not what matters. Seeing
the creepy long-haired guy and the "Deathmask" guy
slit this chick's wrist is what the point is. This scene helps
give insight into why they are after Cassie, to kill her.
As far as I can tell, this was the only point that scene made.
...except
that those two guys don't actually exist...
They totally
do exist. Everything up to the point of the car crash is reality.
Now she
didn't make it to class but she made it to campus (the scene
at the beginning before they go to the club). So the fact
that she was dreaming about the campus in detail makes sense
because she was familiar with it.
The part
that becomes a part of the dream is when you first see her
in class looking out the window. That is where the confusion
starts for most people too, but you absolutely have to see
this film multiple times to grasp it.
Is
life that long?
I hated,
let me repeat HATED that movie the first time I saw it and
thought I got ripped for the $3.50 I spent on renting it.
But for some reason, I gave it a few more chances and now
I appreciate the film and feel that it was rather well done.
The two
scary guys died in the crash along with Annabelle and Matt.
Raven, the lesbo chick that gets it on with Eliza Dushku,
was actually still alive up until the end when she grabs Cassie's
hand and she tells her, "Don't be afraid, you have to
fight." and then she dies.
Raven,
whose presence was utterly confusing to me initially, is actually
stuck in between with Cassie. That is why when she goes in
her apartment, she tells her that Sean is there and he's afraid
she's in trouble. Sean is there, there is the hospital, and
Cassie is on the brink of death just like Raven is.
But anyway,
getting too long winded over this movie. Those are just some
of my thoughts on it.
--Misty
Thank
you for your insight, Misty. Despite the spoilers (but heck,
this movie is now over two years old), I have a feeling we've
just sent several people running to rent this thing with that
magic phrase "...the lesbo chick who gets it on with
Eliza Dushku."
For
some reason, references to Eliza Dushku and lesbianism cause
our readership to triple.
And
on that note...send us more mail, whether it be about Elizabianism
or not. And/or check out our
new improved forum!
