Nightscrawlers

I think those responsible for the movie "Manos: The Hands of Fate" may be happy to know that theirs no longer deserves the distinction of being the Worst Movie Ever . Actually, right now there's a cult following to give that title of honor to Troll 2 . They give it their own Rocky Horror ...

His Star Trek stuff is great too. I wish he'd do more.

I archived an old pattern for a Bamf doll on my old anglefire site.

Not just shortened or over-simplified, but fundamentally changed. Before he had a family and friends. Before he had a career that he loved. He had a life with a variety of experiences that lead him to see that despite a lot of hatred and suffering in the world, there is also love and joy. He left th...

This is the biggest ret-conning I've ever seen. This is like Nightcrawler's origin condensed to a twitter post, run through multiple language-translating engines, then spead-read to someone just before they wrote this. If you did this to Superman's origin, he'd have been born on an asteroid that cra...

Ahh... nostalgia!

Why I can remember when this was all corn fields as far as the eye could see!!!

The Kurt-kills-Stefan story has been retconed a couple of times as well. First in an X-Men Annual #4 flashback, Stefan had just gone insane and started murdering people. Kurt fought him and Stefan fell back and hit his head on a rock. Then in Marvel Comics Presents: Nightcrawler and Wolverine, Stefa...

Urgh. Just when I thought I'd gotten out of comic books, they do this.

His typing has a stronger fake-german accent than his speaking voice.

I would think if Kurt's typing had a characteristic it would be that he hits too many keys because of his thick fingers.

Apparently he spends all day posting on twitter.

I saw Avatar and I really enjoyed it. I think a lot of the criticism is over-reaction to the hype (which is also over the top, but understandable when you look at the budget). It's a really fun, enjoyable move with fucking amazing visuals. The story is not any more mindless than Aliens or ostentatio...

It makes sense Kurt is exhausting himself since he's the one opening the portal (2 portals actually since there's one to leave and one to come back), but the strain that others experience must be from actually passing through the portal(s). I've always thought that the stress that Kurt's passengers ...

I don't see the problem lying with characters coming back, I see the problem with writers killing characters too often in the first place. I haven't read X-Men in a couple of years (largely for similar reasons of feeling like nothing mattered because a new writer with a new vision of the characters ...

Though to Nightcrawler, the date is "No, No, No."

...sorry

As I've gotten older I've sort of become a "militant agnostic" (I don't know, and neither do you!) in that I firmly believe that if there is a God, he/she/it/they would have to be so vast and complex so as to be completely beyond any attempt at human comprehension. So trying to "under...

Because apparently those of us who have been reading comics and attending conventions for quite a while are actually men (not to say women have been active in fandom since like, forever. Certainly before Twilight was even written) Yes there have always been female comic fans, but they've been "...

Also, FYI, Disney owns, just to name a few major media holdings, ABC, ESPN, Touchstone, Dreamworks and Miramax. Miramax, until 2005, was the parent company of Dimension, which released such non-family-friendly fare as the Scary Movie franchise, Sin City, The Crow and several of the Hellraiser and H...

They always do this. Remember SARS? Bird flu? And then people jump in their cars without a thought. Honestly...how many people are going to die driving today? A helluva lot more than the swine flu is going to even infect. I suspect more people will die in car accidents because they were distracted ...

I was expecting this to be a link to that fan-made trailer.

That's just how dangerous I am.

I actually tried some of this. It's crazy expensive to get actual fresh fruit. But I managed to find a dried, tablet version on ebay called "Mysterious Fruit Tablets" In my experience it works okay but it was more subtle than I was expecting. The biggest effect is that sour tastes are comp...

Wikipedia is great. It's like a whole internet in and of itself. If you ever peak behind the curtain and look at the discussion pages, it's like paradise for nit-pickers and obsessive geeks (I use the term lovingly). People get seriously passionate about whether or not Olivia Newton-John British or ...

Seems like making a female version of an existing male character is always going to produce a weak character. Even when they try to give the female version more powers, they end up feeling like pale shadows of the original. Plus it shows a kind of sexist attitude. I mean, how often do you see male v...
