  1. Honestly the new 52 it's way more shit then it deserves, yeah the the characters and stories can be hit or miss, but when they hit, they really hit. Maybe I'm just being biased cause I've always been a DC fan boy at heart and the relaunch is what got me back into comics after a 6-8 year layoff.
  2. I know want a storyline where crazy old man Ric Flair does something completely nonsensical, like try to get a copyright on the alphabet just for his own amusement.
  3. Batman is at his best when it's intentionally campy, it adds a layer of insanity to Gotham city and it's citizens, I think. Maybe I'm just tired of super serious, if anyone dares to crack a smile or have a moment of pure happiness it's the end of the world Batman.
  4. I was hoping Marty from S21 would make the cut, along with David from Redemption Island and possibly Lex from Africa and All Stars, color me disappointed.

    The 2015 Music Thread

    See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth is such a great song, it hits me on so many levels.
  6. I'd implore any fans of the "alternative" scene from the late 80's-90's to give Dramarama a listen. Although not as hardcore as some later bands, they're still just as good, if not better then some of there successers and really don't get the love that they should.
  7. Punk and rockabilly go together way better then they have any right to, but the more bands I listen to that fuse the two sounds together the more I'm I find myself lovin' it.
  8. All New X-Men is pretty much amazing and is such a great jumping point for anyone looking to get into the X titles. Easily the only X book I haven't struggled to keep up with since District X.
  9. I've got something to say, I killed your baby today, doesn't matter to me as long as died, I've got something to say, I raped your mother today, doesn't matter to me as long as she's spread.
  10. Just watched Z Nation over the weekend and holy shot what a show, as someone who gave up on Tge Walking Dead just half way through season four and was ready to write this off as simply an "lol asylum mockbuster", I'm honestly happy I didn't, its everything TWD should be, its serious but not to serious, fun but not over the top (usually) silly, the cast is filled with characters that you actually come to care about each carefully developed, not just a few people and a bunch of red shirts, the general message of there always being hope is always a nice change from the doom and gloom setting of TWD. Can't wait for season 2
  11. Maybe it's because I was/am a huge fan of the Mr Vampire series, maybe its because I find most supernatural flicks boring and by the numbers, whatever the case may be I have no idea but I do know that Juno Mak's Rigor Mortis is actually a great genre film that has a legitimately strong cast that provides heart abd soul to a movie that could have been really silly and would suggest it to genre fans. The only downside really is that its too ambitious for its running time and is one of a few movies I'd say needs a sequel/prequel movie or companion series.
  12. So I've only had a chance to listen to an album or two so far but The Chop Tops are such a fun band, they're rockabilly with punk inferences mixed in or "Revved-Up Rockabilly" as they call it, think I found myself some new drinking music. I've also come to the conclusion that Nirvana aren't overrated, Nevermind is.. if that makes sense, I just listened to both Bleach and In Utero again recently and holy shit I forgot how good those guys could be.

    The Punk Thread

    So after randomly getting a recommended for you video on YouTube I just recently rediscovered The Murderdolls, who I used to listen to all the time as a teenager needless to say I forgot how much fun "horror punk" is. Wednesday 13's solo efforts are fun to, Fang Bang in particular is a standout album that has two love letters in Haddonfield and Til Death Do Us Party directed towards the Halloween and Friday The 13th movies that are so catchy. Next on the agenda is Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13, followed by 45 Grave.
  14. Hopefully they just skip the Goblin saga all together, its starting to reach Joker territory of been there done that, it'd be best for Marvel to go a different route instead of telling the same story of the original trilogy and its condensed ASM 2 version. Sinister six, Clone Saga, the symbiotes.. anything but more Goblin drama.
  15. Again not so much a moment, but "Greatest Hits" from the third season of Lost is an episode of any show that will stick with me. It wasn't ground breaking in any sense but for some reason I just latched onto the Charlie character, so well I didn't want to see him come to an end the episode really did make sure he got a good farewell. Once scene in particular always gets me, I believe its after the band has broken up a flashback shows Charlie performing a cover of Wonderwall on the street - for some reason I've always found rhis scene just absolutely beautiful
  16. I do, but he also included crime films which doesn't automatically mean gangster/mob/underworld type films. Both of those films are technically crime films, one based on true events where the character repeatedly goes to a prison.. filled with criminals, not boy scouts.
  17. Blow is pretty good as is requiem for a dream for one viewing and one viewing only
  18. Speaking of 90's X-Men, I remember reading Mutant X and even way back then thinking it had so much potential, might have to try and do a reread in the near future.
  19. To any Captain America/Marvel fans, I'd highly suggest Marvel's Nomad series from the early 90's its a pretty fun read. The basic premise of the entire series is in theory Captain America stripped to the bare bones - no flashy get up, no gimmick villains, j.ust a man, Jack Monroe (50's Bucky, former Steve Rogers sidekick) travelling the country, discovering both himself and the true America, not the image the government likes to portray and it just so happens along the way no matter where he goes he finds himself helping common people with very common and socially relevant problems. Basically so far in my read I can only think of it as Captain America deconstructed and its actually pretty damn good. I.E. Just within the last few issues Jack has found himself in the middle of the LA riots that followed the infamous Rodney King trial, in a dispute between a group of native Americans and the FIB over the right to gamble on reserves and helping the transgendered community stop a serial killer who's been targeting members.
  20. I've heard a few of his solo songs and based off what I heard despite being on per, if not slightly ahead of Lennon and McCartney as a complete musician, he still seems to linger in the huge shadows they cast. Once I'm done with Ringo Ill be obtaining what I can of his discography and giving him a proper listen.
  21. Of course it would. George is always the answer.
  22. I don't even pretend to be a huge Beatles fan because frankly I'm not, I respect what they did and innovative it was for their time but the band just was never my "cup of tea" outside of a few songs. I'm listening to Ringo Starr's lo albums in chronological order and I have to say, I'm just getting into Ringo but I have to applaud his first two effort in dribbling in the blues/lounge in Sentimental Journey and country in Beaucoups of Blues. A British man doing country in my opinion would be forced sounding but Ringo pulls it off seamlessly. Honestly if he would have found his niche in country instead of panicking and going back to his pop/rock roots, we'd be asking today who had the better solo career, Paul, John or Ringo.
  23. I'm currently reading the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic and I have to say it's quite surprising surprising that the Shredder plays little to no role in there story outside of issue number one considering his roll in modern turtles mythology.
  24. Needs more Vincent Price
