Heel Turn

BSG, Breaking Bad, Flight of the Conchords, and Lost, in that order.

Out of all the Bond girls, your friend chooses Christmas Jones? Ugh. Tell her to get it together and rock Ursula Andress's bikini from Dr. No. Pussy Galore in her shiny dress is the only other acceptable choice.*

*Unless your friend is Asian. Then Kissy Suzuki is permissable.

Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, License to Kill, Dr. No, and Moonraker. In that order.

How can you base a movie around Chun Li, Balrog, Vega, and Nash? What, they couldn't get the rights to use Rolento, T. Hawk, Dhalsim, and Dan Hibiki?

If you're going to make a Street Fighter movie, Capcom, come correct -- make Ryu your main character, make Ken his wisecracking partner, and throw in Chun Li, Guile, Cammy, Zangief, and Blanka as a supporting cast. Villains are M. Bison, Vega, Sagat, Adon, and Sodom. Cameos by everyone else not on this list. Sequel focuses on the battle with Akuma and possible Evil Ryu.

There, was that so hard?

Anyone else interested in the special edition.

I know it's $30 more but to get:

* A customised metal safe deposit box.

* A Rockstar keychain for the safe deposit box keys.

* A limited edition Rockstar duffel bag.

* Production artwork in the Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book.

* Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV.

* A specially packaged version of the game.

Just seems worth it.

After hearing more of these previews though I very well think my decision to purchase it is final. Just have to figure out what version to pre-order.

Sounds like a lot of shit to take up room. I'm getting tired of these ultra deluxe special editions crammed with useless knickknacks. It's one thing when it's a 4 Disc DVD with some kind of cool, sleek packaging, but does anyone really need a foam Master Chief helmet? I have enough trouble getting laid as it is.

Apropos of nothing, when is Lyoto Machida back in action?

I pity the fool who hasn't read at least some Avengers in their lifetime (preferably Stern or Busiek).

Reading the series from the beginning, it's amazing how much better it got the moment the lineup changed in #16.

Having read a shitload of Avengers over the years, I have to say that Stern's run sits as my favorite of all time, with The Vision storyand The Masters Of Evil tale being my two faves during his run. Busiek's run was brilliant, but I always thought his ancilliary tale, Avengers Forever, was far better than anything he did in the main book. Steve Engelhart, Roy Thomas, and David Michelinie also had great runs. I would have to count Geoff Johns and Chuck Austen's runs as two of the all time worst though. Austen's was just ridiculously bad, whereas Johns run suffered from the all the rage at the time Marvel way of forcing storylines to run six or so issues to fill a trade. It didn't help at all that John's run was made totally moot by BMB afterwards when BMB took all the hard work Johns had done with Ant Man (Scott Lang) and Jack Of Hearts and rendered it obsolete when he killed them both in a manner of a few panels in the first issue of his run. Which actually leads meto saying that despite the sales, BMB's run on The Avengers is also amongst the absolute worst in my humble opinion.

Just chiming in to say that Stern's run was nothing short of epic. The way he dealt with the individual relationships between the team members and the way he wasn't afraid to shake up the status quo still makes Stern's run on Avengers pretty much my favorite run on anything, ever. It's equivalent in my mind to Miller's run on Daredevil and Simonson's run on Thor in runs that'll never be equaled.

It's funny you should mention that. Looking at Marvel only, I would throw out these titles and writers/teams that were in my mind the best those books ever were:

Avengers: Roger Stern and John Buscema

Thor: Walt Simonson

Fantastic Four: John Byrne

Iron Man: David Michelinie and Bob Layton

Amazing Spider-Man: Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. and/or Roger Stern and John Romita Jr.

Daredevil: Frank Miller

Hulk: Peter David and Gary Frank

X-Men: Chris Claremont and John Byrne

Captain America: Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting

But yeah, Roger Stern's entire multi year run on The Avengers, and including his WCA mini series were brilliant. Just great storytelling. I wish Marvel would put out a series of visionnaire trades collecting the entire run.

I don't know much about MMA, but this is pretty much the embodiment of the "freakshow" match that Dave Meltzer always talks about, right?

I ran a BattlARTS Tournament... Great fun. Shibata KO'ed everyone, pretty much

Also to keep people guessing, DarkUFO revealed this spoiler about the 'Him' Kate is going back for.

Someone who was on the plane but didn't have a ticket.

It's stupid as shit. There's no strategy or skill involved, just dumb luck.

How would I change it to make it better, you ask? In order to spice things up, one case should have a live hand grenade inside it.

In relation to the Oceanic 6:

Spoiler: Click here to view

Personally, I think something is going to happen that doesn't unclude a mass kill-off spree, sure there are the Oceanic 6 who we know get off the island alive...but who's to say the others aren't alive? Something about the whole conversation with Hurley and Abbadon made me think(And i can't recall what specifically was said to make me think this) that there are other people left on the island.

I think something big is going to happen this season which puts Jack/Kate/Hurley and whoever else make up the Oceanic 6 in a position where they're going to have to decide if they want to leave and it's going to be something big enough that they are going to want to hide it(Like the Micheal situation for example) or maybe it's a situation were getting off the island is a sacrifice Jack and co have to make in order to protect the rest of the group...at this poitn I'm clearly just guessing and throwing random ideas in the air but I'm thinking why else would Jack feel the need to go back to the island unless it came down to benefit fo the group.

I haven't read any of the rumours or spoilers so maybe there is something involved there that proves me wrong but this is just my random theory of the day.

I already know who they are so if you don't want to know... look away now!

Spoiler: Click here to view

They are Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Jin, as well as them, one more person gets off the Island and that one is not confirmed but heavilly rumoured to be Aaron, whom I believe would be the 'him' Kate needs to get back to.

I think OMD and BND will eventually be undone....and I really hope so. I can think of three different outs right now.

How did Brock Lesnar not see that kneebar coming? My grandmother could have seen that and avoided it. Brock has all the physical tools, but from what I know of UFC, he looked incredibly green and inexperienced.

Do you mean the costume or the issue as a whole? If the latter, I told you so, if the former, you can blame Alex Ross for a rare miscalculation. I do like him having the gun, but the overall design just screams "I'm pretending to be something I'm not", which is the first thing that should be HIDDEN for a move like this.

New Cap is gay. Shiny and gay. Fuck Brubaker if this is the best he could come up with.

Arrested Development is basically the best thing ever. The fact that new episodes are not currently being made is a major blow to my faith in humanity.

Green Lantern is stupid. The Sinestro Corps is stupid. DC is stupid. For the first time in my life I'm no longer actively following a single DC title, and I don't miss it a bit. The entire company is a convoluted, incomprehensible mess. I really hope Time-Warner sells DC to Marvel or something just so we can get people who actually care about the characters and can write realistic human beings to un-fuck the DCU.

WTF are you talking about? Lets see how much Marvel cares about characters:

Tony Stark is practically a super-villain right now. At any rate, he's a huge asshole now.

Cap is dead, and possibly being replaced by Bucky, who didn't die after all but was "rescued" by the Commies, who replaced his arm which was blown off with a mechanical one and brainwashed him to be an assassin for them. Not to mention the fact that its been retconned so that Bucky was actually older during WW2 and wasn't just Cap's sidekick but a trained assassin who did the dirty work that Cap couldn't.

Spider-Man has been fucked up by JMS, who practically shit all over Gwen Stacy's memory in the process.

One More Day. Nuff said. I'm avoiding ANY Spider-Man titles until that garbage is undone.

And that's just for starters.

I used to be a die-hard Marvel fan, but am no longer. The day Joe Quesada resigns, is fired, or is hit by a speeding truck can't come soon enough, because he's a fanboy and fanboys shouldn't be running things.

Green Lantern is stupid. The Sinestro Corps is stupid. DC is stupid. For the first time in my life I'm no longer actively following a single DC title, and I don't miss it a bit.

It's threads like this that make me kind of glad that I don't own cable and thus have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about.

Morgan Spurlock didn't find Osama Bin Laden because our government knows exactly where he is. But that's a conspiracy theory for another day.
