We don't get a 'how', Midnite gets this line though - "You talking to a man who jumped off the Empire State Building and can still talk about it"
Actually, I hated this explaination. I mean, that's all we get? LAME.
The rest of the book wasn't bad. It also wasn't Papa Midnight. It was Baron Jean Constantine, or something like that. That fucking movie is going to create a need for a Crisis-level event in the HB universe.

This is my new obsession. Really cheezy, massively multiplayer fun. Reminds me of the old Ultima games (Exodous, Quest of the Avatar).
If anyone decides to play, I have 2 characters: Dunkelblatt (a dwarf) and Necrorcen (a human). Look me up!
-
Me and the Missus are almost done with Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. It's good if you like final fantasy games. n Your characters are the low-rent version of the fellowship, and its kind of like a tour of middle earth, but there's lots if level advancement.

I just saw Hide and Seek, with DeNiro and Dakota Fanning. Don't bother, unless you want to pat 8 dollars to see Elizabeth Shue's cleavage.
Actually, most of the movie was OK, but . . .
(Spoilage hinted at. I do not reveal the ending, but I give my reaction to it, Read at your own risk)
. . . it was sooooooo predictable that I didn't think they would go THERE, but they did. The last 20 minutes are a major dissapointment. -
Matadoor I still haven't figured out - surely they don't pay people to incessantly "post the good word" to online forums, do they ?
Actually, some drink companies will pay people to go to bars, pretending to be partyers. These people then talk up a drink, getting others to buy it. This in mind, it seems quite feasable that Warner would pay someone to infect the message boards with their message. Its a marketing technique that is used elsewhere; maybe the Warners picked up on it.

John! You should set that up on the intro page (the one that just has JC's mug)! I'm sure that would welcom all the Keanu fans!
(I'm talking about the JC panel, not Kris's sig picture. Though his pic is welcoming, too.)

Rozencrantz and Guildenstern loses a lot without the delivery, though. Great film, mind. I've still never seen the play...
True. I haven't seen the play either. I read it, once, and it was different.
-
[Guildenstern is pretending to be Hamlet]
Rosencrantz: Let me get it straight. Your father was king. You were his only son. Your father dies. You are of age. Your uncle becomes king.
Guildenstern: Yes.
Rosencrantz: Unusual.
Guildenstern: Undid me.
Rosencrantz: Undeniably.
Guildenstern: He slipped in.
Rosencrantz: Which reminds me...
Guildenstern: Well, it would.
Rosencrantz: I don't want to be personal.
Guildenstern: Common knowledge.
Rosencrantz: Your mother's marriage.
Guildenstern: He slipped in.
Rosencrantz: His body was still warm!
Guildenstern: So was hers.
Rosencrantz: Extraordinarily...
Guildenstern: Indecent.
Rosencrantz: Hasty.
Guildenstern: Suspicious.
Rosencrantz: Makes you think.
Guildenstern: Don't think I haven't.
Rosencrantz: And with her husband's brother!
Guildenstern: They *were* close.
Rosencrantz: She went to him...
Guildenstern: Too close.
Rosencrantz: For comfort.
Guildenstern: It looks bad.
Rosencrantz: Adds up.
Guildenstern: Incest to adultery.
Rosencrantz: Would you go so far?
Guildenstern: Never!
Rosencrantz: To sum up: your father, whom you love, dies. You are his heir. You come back to find that hardly was the corpse cold before his young brother pops onto his throne and into his sheets, thereby offending both legal and natural practice. Now... why exactly are you behaving in this extraordinary manner?
Guildenstern: I can't imagine.
-
The Player: We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.
Guildenstern: Is that what people want?
The Player: It's what we do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Guildenstern: I think I have it. A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself.
Rosencrantz: Or just as mad.
Guildenstern: Or just as mad.
Rosencrantz: And he does both.
Guildenstern: So there you are.
Rosencrantz: Stark raving sane
------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosencrantz: Do you think Death could possibly be a boat?
Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is "not." Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not be on a boat.
Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
Guildenstern: No, no... What you've been is not on boats.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Player: The old man thinks he's in love with his daughter.
Rosencrantz: Good God. We're out of our depths here.
The Player: No, no, no! He hasn't got a daughter! The old man thinks he's in love with his daughter.
Rosencrantz: The old man is?
The Player: Hamlet... in love... with the old man's daughter... the old man... thinks.
Rosencrantz: Ah.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rosencrantz: Do you want to play questions?
Guildenstern: How do you play that?
Rosencrantz: You have to ask a question.
Guildenstern: Statement. One - Love.
Rosencrantz: Cheating.
Guildenstern: How?
Rosencrantz: I haven't started yet.
Guildenstern: Statement. Two - Love.
Rosencrantz: Are you counting that?
Guildenstern: What?
Rosencrantz: Are you counting that?
Guildenstern: Foul. No repetition. Three - Love and game.
Rosencrantz: I'm not going to play if you're going to be like that.

[first lines]
[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are riding horses down a path. They pause]
Rosencrantz: [To Guildenstern] Umm, uh...
[Guildenstern rides away, and Rosencrantz follows. Rosencrantz spots a gold coin on the ground]
Rosencrantz: [To horse] Whoa - whoa, whoa.
[Gets off horse and starts flipping the coin]
Rosencrantz: Hmmm. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads.
[Guildenstern grabs the coin, checks both sides, then tosses it back to Rosencrantz]
Rosencrantz: Heads.
[Guildenstern pulls a coin out of his own pocket and flips it]
Rosencrantz: Bet? Heads I win?
[Rosencrantz looks at coin and tosses it to Guildenstern]
Rosencrantz: Again? Heads.

that it is, really... i couldn't decide on a single quote - it's THAT good...
Holy shit! I just hit reply, and there you are, replying to my reply!
And you edit right after you post, like I do!
-
Harmonica: And Frank?
Snaky: Frank sent us.
Harmonica: Did you bring a horse for me?
Snaky: Well... looks like we're...
[snickers]
Snaky: ....looks like we're shy one horse.
Harmonica: You brought two too many.
This is one of my favorite peices of dialogue EVARRRRR!
Funny, I just borrowed this off my dad yesterday. I haven't seen it since I was 12, but that line stuck with me.
-
Marvel was putting out work as groundbreaking as DC/Vertigo, IMO!
I agree. I think a lot of that had to do with Stuart Moore taking an editing job over there. He got all kinds of Vertigo writers to do some work and it was really cool. Since then they seem to have petered out, and I'm not so sure Moore is an editor there these days.
But Marvel still has some good books. I enjoy the Ultimates quite a bit, really the only thing I like by Mark Millar. I'm enjoying the Punisher, and I hope Marvel continues to expand the Max line. I'm interested in Brubaker's Captain America and Wozza's Iron Man. Other than that I can't think of anything they're putting out that's worth a fuck these days.
I loved Ultimates v1. I haven't read any of v.2 yet (I'll read it in trades)
So far, I'm loving Captain America. Besides this, I really don't care about Marvel. At. All.
(Oh, The Avengers Dissassembled: Thor was brilliant! the other Avengers: Disassembled stuff was a complete and total waste of my time.)
BTW-- What the hell are those letters at the top of the Marvel Books? PRS? PRS+?
If its some sort of rating system, its completely useless. One has to understand the ratings to use them. I can't see a parent looking at these books and learning anything by the letters.

and then:
(We only need the second part of the name of the fellow all the way to the left in this second pic)
Come on, ye bastards! Doon't give oop on meh!

Dankalel - Do you like Loeb's take on Supes in Superman/Batman?
ya i do, i think he is easy goin kinda guy who tries to tell a fun story even if he does sometimes step over the continuity lines. I am anticipating the opposite from you. Which begs the question what do you think about azzerello run?
Azzarello's run is also undeservingly overhyped. His characterization of Supes, WW, Batman - how wrong can you get. and evberyone speaks in riddles, which may work for 100 bullets, but that dark edge isn't Superman - shouldn't he be about TRUTH, justice and the American way...?
if you want a good Superman story, get Busiek's Superman : Secret Identity...
I haven't read Azzarello's Supes stuff, but it reminds me of when Tim Burton was slated to direct the movie. He said, "I want to explore superman's dark side." Which side is that, I ask. Bollocks.
Oh, and I agree: Superman--Secret Identity beat the shit out of me and took my lunch money!
-
Not overly "religious" the way I define it, but I very strongly believe in God as He is revealed in the Bible and Jesus the Christ. And I try to live the example He (Jesus) has set for us.
I'd like to add that I am intrigued by the Nietschzean elements in Superman.
I'd also like to state that I believe Nietschze was extremely close to the Truth. He is by far my favorite philospher, that is as much as I understand him.
Don't see to many people who embrace the Bible and Nietschze.
-
I'm agnostic, but since that didn't fit under either choice, I didn't bother to vote.
Well, then, don't complain about the spiritual administration, then.

RE: Star wars lego pics.
Thanks, John. Now I have to change my pants.
-
"Do you remember the first time..."
Oooooo....bugger....game on then - I still can't see just why Nergal would help John out - don't buy the "no-one harms my enemies but me" line of reasoning.
He needs him for something. That's the way it is with demons, you know. "I need, I need, I need!" Bah!

From IMDB.com on WENN:
The Rock Says Maguire Ain't No Superhero
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (The Scorpion King, The Rundown, Walking Tall) says that he's unimpressed with the actors that studios have hired to play superheroes. Possibly courting the studios for a superhero role for himself, The Rock says in an interview with Playboy. "Men find an action hero believable if they say, 'Wow, I believe this guy can really kick some [bleeping] ass, mine included.' ... I loved Spider-Man, but I'm not too sure Tobey Maguire could kick a lot of people's asses."
What a tit.
And BTW-- I'm positive Tobey Maguire could kick my ass. His 3 year old sister could too. :icon_frown:
-
However, just to throw some spite into this, I will say that I've read that interview that Matador posted, and some other snippits from interviews with Keanu, and he sounds like a twit. Really, if they want to sell this movie, they should put a gag order on him.
That interview was completely worthless.
-
Sorry Matador, didn;t mean to be so bitter but it's tough when the voice of those that fought so hard for so long were cast aside in the last breath.
I'll get over it. most likely before the 16th.
Don't take this the wrong way, and it's probably been stated before by someone else, but it seems that Tears has gone from being "the enemy" (never mine, mind you) to "our ally on the other side". I try not to read too much about the film, and I haven't read the adaptation yet, but it seems like tears is more sympathetic to the comic crowd, and we're more sympathetic to him (it is him, right?).
It seems tears and the comic crowd have both been disappointed by the way things have gone.
I'm just saying it's nice to see everyone getting along, at least to some extent.

I had assumed that Negral's "lesson in manners" line refered to Newcastle which at the time John was unaware that Negral had been involved in.
Although I guess you could do some retroactive continunity and have Negral stalking John throughout the years always steering him into making bad choices such as picking up the smoking habit. It could play into the movie by having Negral whispering evil things into young John's ear.
Ah! New Castles! I'm a friggin' idiot. I just read the "child" part and took it literally. I'm not to bright sometimes. (in my defense, I did't read the issue, so I didn't know that John wasn't yet aware of Nergal's involvment in Newcastle.)
-
I don't. Oh ok i get it. hes dead dude you guys killed him.
Huh? I don't get the "he's dead dude" part. Was it in reference to my Superman: The Movie reference?
