Interesting that the only Warner Bros. divisions that are signed on are the music divisions--no DC comics, not the movie or television wings, while Disney Publishing and Marvel are both signatories.
DC is far better about making purchasing side-issues of company-wide crossovers mandatory--their latest, Flashpoint, was almost completely self-contained, and the previous one, Blackest Night, crossed over fairly lightly.
Unstable molecules? No, wait, that's the Fantastic Four.
No "Cry Little Sister" from "Lost Boys?!" A pox on both your houses!
I think the "not showing up on videotape" thing is more a logical extension of "not appearing in mirrors" and "not showing up in photographs" than something that should be attributed to Ultraviolet, great as that show was.
The Great Lakes - including Lake Huron - used to be salt water. That's why there are salt mines on Lake Erie. Unless you pull out of your ass the idea that God trucked salt in over there and dumped it for us to find 5,000 years later.
Rob Liefeld walks into a bar, and gets so plastered he thinks he still has creative input on characters he "created" for hire.
That's the punchline.
Check out his homophobic rant about Shatterstar being turned gay/bisexual/ambisexual in the current run of X-Factor. It's ridiculous. Basically, "I created this character, and since I'm a born-again Christian, I don't think he should be gay." Of course, the fact that Shatterstar is Longshot with with swords and an even more idiotic hairstyle doesn't at all take away from the fact that Liefeld "created" him. Or his creation Deadpool, who was such a blatant ripoff of Deathstroke the Terminator from DC that Fabian Nicieza named him Wade Wilson, after Deathstroke's real name, Slade Wilson.
Anybody remember going through issue #1 of Youngblood and trying to figure out who Liefeld ripped off for each character in there?

Prez is a DC character.
And, of course, there is the Chinese custom of the bride wearing red at weddings. Because nothing is deadlier than marriage.
Seriously, could someone please just STOP hiring Liefeld to do horrible art for what could otherwise be good books? It was funny on Deadpool Corps, but Hawk and Dove?
I answered all the questions with A twice in a row, and it gave me a different "diagnosis" both times.
Apparently this is from a movie prequel to the current series, coming out in May--Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle.
I don't like Power Rangers, but that did somehow give me a half-chub.
So, she stamps P-3 on people's heads with her clitoris?
"You use that word a lot. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I think even Robert Gates is getting sick of these people.
Many of these shows were back in the days when almost everything was craptastic. That's the problem we've been having in one of my college classes: you can look at something from the past through today's eyes and see how horrible it was, or you can use your sociological imagination and get a picture of how breathtaking it was for a kid in the mid-70s to see Isis and Shazam and Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl. Realism wasn't an issue at the time, it was for the pure enjoyment of it all.
And there's an error with one of the lines from "The Time Machine," the one going to 2,300 doesn't actually curve over to that year, it just goes up to the top of the chart, like the other two lines.
That study presumes, of course, that:
1) Vampires need to drink blood fairly regularly;
2) Vampire bites transform their victims into vampires.
1) Vampires need to drink blood fairly regularly;
2) Vampire bites transform their victims into vampires.
While, in reality, humanoid vampires would probably be more like vampire bats or mosquitoes. Mosquitoes, for instance, only drink blood when the females have a load of eggs to drop off at the nursery.
Why wouldn't vampires only need blood once in a while, subsisting on, say, rare meat the rest of the time? What if vampirism is a genetic trait, and there are only a few thousand in the vampire "clan," and it cannot be transmitted through the bite? They could even live in a symbiotic relationship with "bleeders" who would allow them to feed on small amounts of their blood.
So nyah! to economics and mathematics and the rest of it all.
