]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Getting Things Done Traveling Through Southeast Asia]]> Thanks for the heads up Gina! I'm going to be moving to SE Asia for work in a couple of months. Keycard for electricity? Yikes. I was also worried about voltage requirements for various electronics. Does anyone in your party have any suggestions on figuring this one out?

Too bad about having to lug around the laptop. The region is pretty good with cyber cafes, and cheap too. When I visited the south of Thailand (Yala province) and did not speak a word of Thai, I just had to ask around for internet and was helpfully escorted to a cafe. The only thing you might need to bring is a something you can load Portable Apps on.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Party with io9 at Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Benefit on Saturday Night]]> Ooh, right after the The New Frontier premiere. I'll try to make it :)

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Too Many Skeevy Uncles And Stepdads On Sarah Connor]]> Maybe an evil cyborg version of Glenn Gould?

Wow, if there was one I'd so be watching this show!

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on A Video Peek Into Batman Gone Anime]]> I tried to watch this in its entirety, I really tried. But Didio just ruined it. Batman a Samurai? *shakes head*

The action sequences look fantastic! And yay, Deadshot!

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Super-Heroes Need Love More Than The Rest Of Us]]> Then there's Kyle Rayner, Green Lantern. His first girlfriend upon becoming a superhero was killed and stuffed in a refrigerator. His second girlfriend Donna Troy later was killed in battle (but she got better). Third girlfriend and daughter of another Green Lantern Jade died saving the world. Kyle's such a jinx, he even indirectly caused his mother's death.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Could You Be a Shipper? Take Our Quiz]]> Personally, I think the scariest shippers are the Harry Potter fans; they've got the crackiest names for their ships. For example, Wheezing Snitches (Fred Weasley/Harry Potter) and Ssssss (Tom Riddle/Harry Potter).

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on io9 at the 'Y: The Last Man' Party in Los Angeles]]> @Plague: Ditto.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Beautiful Yaoi Men Of The Cyber World (Maybe NSFW)]]> So... Why's the guy in the first pic got a black eye? Is it like a Troy McClure thing?

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Grohl: I Hate Wolverine More Than I Hate Courtney Love]]> @twreckx: Re Gambit: Amen. It kinda sucked that his miniseries ended so quickly; his character's always had such potential. Still, I'm kinda glad we won't have to go through a live action Gambit with that awful cringe-worthy accent.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Ultraman Usurper Banished]]> FINALLY. I remember when I was living in Thailand this guy was planning to go ahead and create a Thai Ultraman tv series for the Asian market. Here's the article (via The Nation). I wonder if he managed it.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on The WonderCon Schedule Is Now Online]]> Ooh brilliant, an io9 meetup! Are we still on for that sci-fi themed karaoke night?

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Cate Blanchett Wants An Indiana Jones-Kebab]]> In the Valentine's Day Smallville, Clark decides he's done saving Lex's behind, after Lex gets into trouble with the amnesiac Kara's gun-toting busboy-stalker boyfriend.

Power Boy, izzat you?

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on What's The Most Underrated TV Show?]]> None of the above. I vote Legion of Superheroes. Yeah, it's animated but still counts!

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Spoilers For Watchmen, Dragonball, Lost and CJ7]]> Dragonball is going to be extremely embarassing, isn't it?

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Smallville Sneak Preview: Brainiac Kills Rats, Leaves Hickeys]]> @Kevin Kelly: That would be so very awesome! But would it work? I mean, Smallville so angsty and all.

Anyway, I stopped fully watching Smallville when Lana starting getting more screentime. Putting her in a love triangle with Clark and Lex was horrific to watch.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on How The Justice League Movie Could Still Be Saved]]> I still question the need for a JLA film. When you have several very recognisable characters who have separate films/series of their own together in an ensemble picture, people will have certain expectations. Fans will expect Batman and Superman to be the main focus of the film. If as suggested, the film is seen through the eyes of the 'minor' characters it would not sell well. Not to mention the confusion of having too many actors playing the same character at one time (Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, new guy).

To save this movie, pare it down and get rid of Superman and Batman. I think it'll still be interesting with the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Plastic Man. You've got the close friendship and group dynamics, without the baggage of the Superman and Batman films.

Given a choice though, JLA is too mainstream. I'd really like to see Doom Patrol hit the big screens.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on What's Your Favorite Comic-Book Resurrection Tool?]]> @Poormojo: It hasn't been fully explained yet, but might be resolved at the end of the ongoing Countdown series. All we know is that he was resurrected from his injuries in a Lazarus Pit. At the time, it was explained as a result of Emoprime punching reality. However, the Countdown series makes it clear that he wasn't supposed to be alive. There was a rumour months ago was that this revived Jason Todd might be an alternate universe Jason Todd, but *shrugs*.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Dumbest Space Gods In Science Fiction]]> Kirby's New Gods may be goofy, but Darkseid was the best thing to come out of it. He's the ultimate villain: immortal, immensely powerful, and very ambitious. Unlike other baddies who want to destroy mankind/universe/superheroes, Darkseid's goal is to remove free will from the universe (via the anti-life equation). And he's extremely difficult to stop, as evidenced in an episode of the Justice League where he bitchslaps Superman.

Plus, Death on skis is actually Black Racer.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Ramping Up for Wondercon]]> Uh... You forgot Darwyn Cooke. He's the main reason I'm going :)

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Is Batman Going to Die?]]> @simpsons-movie-ruled: Wow, I can't believe it! Very sad. RIP.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Is Batman Going to Die?]]> Cheap stunt, DC. Couldn't ya think of something better to jump start sales? In the event Batman is offed, please don't pick Jason Todd as a replacement. As much as I like the guy, it'll be like Az-Bat all over again.

But on the other hand, the RIP storyline will feature pretty Alex Ross covers...

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Future of Comic-Con: Total Suck or Way Better?]]> This will be good news for me. I went to Comic-Con for the first time last year and was irritated so many people were there for the movies and tv that didn't have to do with comics or sci-fi. Someone give them a non-Comic convention already, or I'll be walking around with my elbows out in July.

]]> <![CDATA[sweetea commented on Ten Kickass Songs About Comic Books, Plus One Weird Ditty]]> Not exactly about Plas, but I love The Kinks' 'Plastic Man'. And a little unknown ditty called 'Dating Batman' by Cars Can Be Blue includes the line 'What's up Batman? Are you F*cking The Riddler?' Hilarious.
