I find it amusing that we spent somuch time, effort, and money into trying to kill Castro- and in the end, he just resigns.

Well, technically she was Supergirl- of Earth 2.

I was wondering why the X-Box 360 HD-DVD player was cut down to $129, with 5 free movies....

I'll take Episode 1 over Episode 2 ANY day. Anybody esle excited about the animated series comming this fall? On the website, they announced that in August the two hour premier would be released in theaters, and the series itself would start airing in September, I believe.

One of these things is not like the other...

I've read a rumor that all of the old Indi girls (except for Elsa) will appear. And Marion appears to feature prominately.

I live in St. Louis, and have family in and around Kirkwood. This was a total shock to me- you never hear about something like this happening in Kirkwood. The thing that amazed me most was that the Mayor was shot- I believe- in the cheek, and then the back of the head. And he's still ALIVE.

I've never really enjoyed the Matrix version. It wasn't really Supergirl, just some shapeshifting alien.

Anybody reading All Star Batman and Robin? I just checked out a couple of these- and what the hell? Batman is a borderline sociopath that crossed the border, Dick is... well, Damien-like, almost. Heck, in the issue I just read, Batman and Black Cannary had sex on the docks int he rain. What the hell is this book?

I believe this series retcons T3 out of existence. The terminator tells Srah in the second episode I believe that they jumped past her death.

Bob, I'm sure they could do it in one movie, even if it ended up beeing 2:30+. And again, all of this is conjecture. They don't even have a screenplay yet (writer's strike).

You know...that would actually work.

From Mugglenet: UPDATE: Empire Online is now quoting WB as saying "no decision has been made," in part because no script exists yet. Steve Kloves cannot begin work on the Deathly Hallows script because of the US writer's strike. We'll let you know more once we hear it! I don't see it. I could see a 3+ hour long movie; I can even see a 2 hour movie- because they can cut enough out. But I don't see two movies.

I'm not too keen on DC stuff so please somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't this "mind-erasing" thing also happen in The Flash comics? I seem to recall that everybody knew that Wally West was the Flash but in some storyline something happened and suddenly everybody forgot or something of the like? If this is true then I don't see much reason to bitch about this since it already happened and to my knowledge nobody complained that time. Well, in Identity Crisis, it was established that the Justice LEague routinley had Zatana mind-wipe villians who found out their true identities You know, I recently got back into comics, and ehave been heavily buyint TPB's to catch up, along with browsing the torrents on line. That way, if I find a book I like, I'll go and buy it. And I've been buying Spider-Man, because I was really interesting in seeing where they were going with the whole shooting. And then they pull this crap. Well, that's money saved now. TPTB's at Marvel have never liked Spider-Man being married. Because god knows you can't do anything with a married character- I mean, think what would happen if a big name like, say... Reed Richards, or The Flash, or Superman were married? How could they possibly be cool? And super-heros with kids? I mean, really! Think how crappy the children of Reed Richards or the Flash- or even Supoerman would be-what could you possibly do with them? Yes, kids. That was sarcasm. The higher ups in Marvel, who have never liked Spidey being married for some reason, concocted the whole 'One More Day' storyline, in which Spidey an d MJ makes a deal with the devil to save May's life-by making their marriage never happen- and also, by consequence, gets rid of their newly-concieved baby. Despite the fact that most readers like MJ, and the marriage. All because some suits didnt' like it. Meanwhile, over in DC, we have a countdown to Final Crisis, which was proceeded by Infinite Crisis and Crisis on Infinite Earths. The first two Crisis' were held to 'streamline' the convoluted DC continuity, then to bring back some of those alternate universes that DC is so famous for. And then, they did 52- a really cool concept, to be true. But... They've killed more people than the Mafia (even though they don't actually exist;). They turned Batgirl, and excellent character on her own- into a cold-blooded killer. And lets not start on Jimmy freakin' Olsen. And all of this goes up to this so-called 'Final Crisis', which will more than likley erase the past two years anyway. You know, I'm all for Marvel and DC doing stuff to shake things up- even if the 'Big Events' (TM, Copyright) are getting a bit too tiresome. But for gods sake, you'd theink that they couldthink of more original things to do than killing off characters or erasing 20+ years of continuity for the sake of an Earth Shattering Event that will shake up (Insert Character's Name Here) forever- only to retcon it two years down the line.

Batgirl. Cassandra Cain when from the daughter of two of the worlds deadliest assasins, who had been turned into a living weapon by her father, but then vowed to never kill after her first 'assignement', and who had been given the mantel of Batgirl with both Batman's and Barbara Gordon's blessins- to a ruthelss, cold blooded killer who framed Robin for her onw 'murder'; who led the League of Assasins, and who played a pivitol role in Slade's Titan's East. Of course, they then tried to retcon her behavior by saying that Slade had brainwashed her with his trippy drugs. I'm pretty sure fans of her character were just as upset as most people are about OMD.

I'm watching the Raw DVD now. When I got to the part when HHH came back and saw the little pop-up saying that he had wrestled 5 more minutes after getting injured, I briefly wondered why they didn't show him getting injured. Then I remembered who was in that match.

I think Dee would be good, if only because she's married to Lee. Maybe they'll do a swerve and reveal the final Cylon to be Zack, Lee's brother.

Too bad about Smallville, since it's the final season. But I'm worried about Battlestar Galactica. From what I remember hearing, only about 2/3 of the season was completed before the strike shut it down. And this is it's final season.

You know, this is the first Raw i've watched in over a year- and it hasn't sucked. At the same time, I'm saddened to realise taht, once upon a time, this thread would have reached 8 or 9 pages by this time. Just an observation.

So is JBL comming out of retirement?

Just saw the movie this weekend, and thought it was an excellent, if a bit rushed, movie. I'm probably in the minority, but i loved how it ended (provided either the next one is made, or they include the original ending they shot on the DVD). Anybody else here check this out yet? Or has the Catholic Church convinced you that it's evil?

The first trailer for Price Caspian is now on line, and hoo-boy, does it look good- http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809244324/video/5318792. Kind of bummed that I have to wait till summer, but with Golden Compass comming out this month, I guess that was the smnart move.

Watched Robocop 2 tonight- and I have to say, it would have been a KILLERmovie,if they had only gotten a score. ecause the crap elevator music playing in the background- especially during the climatic battle- doesn't count for me.

It looks good so far, but I'm actually kind of tired of the X-Men univers with everything that's happened. Last I really ready any X-Men was during Civil War.

I've never been a fan of Alan Moore's comics (could never get past the god-awful artwork), and I know that they changed a few things in V for Vendetta, but I thought it was an excellent movie. LXG, though, really did suck.
