Walking Spoilers posted by on Nov 02, 2007 (34) | ||
| No Dylan, this rant is not about you. Okay, maybe sometimes you, but I know how hard you try to hold it all in so that those of us not in the know don't get our surprises squashed and then hafta kick some Dylan-ass. This rant is about the guys who come into the shop and pull one of these, "So Tina! You gotten the chance to see Grindhouse yet? NO?! Well let me describe in detail every trailer and surprise in the 4 hour epic movie-going experience, then..." What??? REALLY!!!? Man... I had one person in particular come up to me at the shop and tell me the BIG SECRET in the Harry Potter books!! Now, I don't read the books, I only watch the films. I think the books might make the movies not as good in my eyes so I'm waiting till after the movies are done till I attempt to try the books. Well, that WAS the plan. I was living in ignorant bliss till Mr.Killjoy rolled in on his spoiler truck and threw a molotov cocktail at my bliss-bubble. GRRRRRRRR... Now, he'd been joking to me for a while about dropping the spoiler on me but I never thought he would. It's just weird to me that someone feels like they need to be the one to take that away from you. I feel so dirty now and it won't wash off! Let it be known that if someone drops another big spoiler on my head that being called on yo shit ain't the only thing that's gonna happen! It'll be fistacuffs outside! Ok... I got heated there for a sec. Maybe not fistacuffs but I warn that when I get mad fire tends to jump from my eyes and my voice goes somewhere in the direction of Sigourney in Ghostbusters one. Don mess wit me! | |||

Quick Question... posted by Shane on Sep 22, 2006 (13) | ||
| Why is it when a customer see's you are obviously busy and your hands are full, they always approach you with, "Quick Question." Most of the time their question is not quick. Why lie about it???? Just say,"I can see that you are obviously busy, but, I don't care!!! Drop everything, come down off that ladder, and help me!!!" I understand that would be inpolite, but you are not it making any better by lying to me with your "Quick Question" CRAP!!!!! | |||

Dexter posted by on Oct 07, 2006 (25) | ||
| Hey Kiddies I just caught the first episode of the new ShowTime series Dexter. I loved it, Investigator by day and serial killer by night. Yes fiends Dexter is the perfect superhero. He is what I always wanted a Superhero to be, someone who puts the baddies down for good with creativity. I don't have to mention again that I am a huge fan of The Crow, the way the villains are disposed of is one of the main reasons I love it so much. The Crow rids the world of bad people for good and dishes out a little of what they deserve before he ends their pathetic lives. (Yes I know The Crow does not have to be a guy, but for the sake of this I just referred to The Crow as a he.) Dexter contains an excellent mix of film noir elements and dark humor. If you enjoyed Sin City especially Marv’s bit you'll go head over heals for Dexter. Check it out Sundays 10:00 on Showtime. Nickie B gives it TWO COLD AND CLAMMY THUMBS UP | |||

Watchmen posted by on Nov 17, 2006 (29) | ||
| Okay, I heard that the guy who directed The 300 is gonna take on the granddaddy of all superhero comics. It looks good on paper, but MAN is that movie gonna stinkola. The only way Watchmen can be made into anything worth watching is if it's an ongoing series on tv or a trilogy. It pains me to think what they're gonna butcher right out of that book to put it on the big screen. Isn't anything sacred anymore? | |||

Heath LEdger as the Joker posted by Cup O'Noodles on Oct 11, 2006 (28) | ||
| I like this. I never liked Jack Nicholson's Joker. I'm sure he got the gig becasue he was Jack freakin' Nicholson, but honestly I thought Tomy Lee Jones did a better Joker when he played Two-face. I'm going to give Heath Ledger a chance. I think he will be able to turn it up and give a good show. | |||

Iron Man posted by on Oct 11, 2006 (26) | ||
| K, I'm down for Robert Downey Jr. on this role. Dude's got first hand experience with an addiction, he's a phenomenal actor (yes kiddies, we hafta move past the 80s to find em, but there are plenty good movies this guy's done) and he can definitely look like Tony Stark. Really, there isn't anyone that coulda been cast that noone would complain about. Look at the whole Heath Ledger as Joker thing. Ok, I'm anti that too, but I just don't like him too much. Ya, that's right, I don't like Heath Ledger. You wanna know why? Every time I see that dude all I can think about are those billboards that were EVERYWHERE when A Knight's Tale came out "HE WILL ROCK YOU". So lame... | |||

Robert Downey, Jr as Tony Stark posted by on Oct 01, 2006 (18) | ||
| This is a puzzler and it will all come down as to how Jon Favreau approaches IRON MAN. So far, we know Favreau is an exceptional director, but his touch is fairly light. Does this mean we're going to see a less serious tone here, more goofiness? Robert Downey, Jr has proven himself as an actor many times over. But do I see him as billionaire Tony Stark? Not really. Can he pull off Iron Man? Maybe. After all, the look and feel of Iron Man is really up to the stuntperson in the suit or the animatics. 16 years later (ouch, it has been that long!) the casting of Michael Keaton as Batman still rankles me. The same thing that happened there could happen here. Keaton was not, in my opinion, an effective Bruce Wayne. If Downey can muster up the seriousness and dramatic timber to make us believe that he IS Tony Stark, then this will work. On the other hand, as an opener for a possible franchise, I'm thinking he may be a little mature for a longtrerm commitment. | |||

How much is my comic worth? posted by on Oct 04, 2006 (24) | ||
| Ok, this isn't a stupid question perse, but it it sure annoying. During the course of a week, we gets a ton of these kind of telephone calls. Normally, a person who asks such a question doesn't quite understand that in order to tell them how much that comic is worth, we can't simply go by their word for its condition. We have to tell them to bring it in. Almost without exception, their wrong-headed idea of "good condition" is born out if they bring it in. Sometimes we get reasonable people in with great-looking comics, but there is still a small percentage of people among all these collectors who, when we tell them the value, they ask. "Is that how much you would buy it from me?" ARGGHHHH. Andthen they don't understand why. Granted, ebay has helped out with these kind of inquiries, but after 25 years there are still those people who don't understand the idea of condition or retail store profit. | |||

Tranny Zombies posted by on Oct 03, 2006 (20) | ||
| You haven't seen all varieties of zombies until you see the tranny zombies hanging around the shopping center that includes Trader Joe's & Yukon Mining Co. What's that you say? You haven't seen them? Almost every morning at the crack of dawn, I bike my way to the gym and pass by the shopping center where I see the tranny zombies. I'm not talking about the "chicks" that are a bit loud and leaving the Yukon Mining Co (it gives greasy spoon diners a bad rep!). I'm talking about the glassy eyed ones hanging on the street corner waiting for "opportunities" or the ones ambling about down the boulevard. Truem they might not be the classic variety of zombie, but they sure come close. And frankly, as trannies go, they are for the most part, shall we say, not very girlish. For a while there was a dysfunctional community of homeless people hanging around that area and they were even more zombie like. And when they got into a small war of words with the trannies it was pretty funny. Like a "War of the Zombies". It led me to think about what the world would be like if zombies took over. Would they get along? Would there be a "cold war"? | |||

Don't look up to see where the bird poop came from. posted by Cup O'Noodles on Sep 22, 2006 (12) | ||
| It's a simple thing that many people don't think about: When you notice water on teh floor you can look around to see where the leak is coming from. But when you're sitting on a park bench and you notice bird poop on you do not look where it came from. | |||
