@José Leitão: and please don't remove my comment this time.
TIL Tarantino has the penmanship and of a 10 year old.

@TheGreat&PowerfulTurtle: Overreaching, I'd say, stretching the defnition of the word.
@TheGreat&PowerfulTurtle: I see, oh well.
@TheGreat&PowerfulTurtle: Of course not! mattiswaldo is just full of it, and has no idea what he's talking about. Lost Girls is in NO WAY, shape or form even closely resembling child pornography. I have no idea why anyone would launch such an uninformed and slanderous attack against Alan Moore. What that got to do with the subject at hand anyway?
@mattiswaldo: Again, please stop with the unfounded smear campaign against Alan Moore. Seriously, you don't know what you're talking about. You're making a fool of yourself.
@mattiswaldo: WTF? Dude get serious. Lost Girls is in NO WAY anything which might be considered child porn, you're outright lying and trying to slander a great Artist. How is this comment promoted?
@01SNKOWNR: Thunderstrike's mace was 3 sided, not 4. It's Thor.
@UberRob: Also keep in mind that woman in the Plinkett video is maybe 30-ish? And MJP is now 50. I know, they age so fast, they'll always stay young in our minds as we watch the old MST3K episodes, though.
@UberRob: I'm sorry, but you're wrong. That woman is absolutely NOT Mary Jo Pehl. Watch the video again, and you'll realize that she is a different person. Mistie here.
Someone's been watching Cinemassacre's Monster Massacre!
This is a full scan of that book: [davidguy.brinkster.net]
@richl1: I'd choose Lindsay, honestly. At least I'd get laid. Possible get some blow. Maybe a threesome.
You're right, Charlie Jane Anders, this was one of those late-night, sleep-deprivation-fueled thoughts that is better kept to oneself.
Elsa and Clive, as in... Elsa Lanchester and Colin Clive of Frankenstein fame? I just noticed that.
@HelenofPeel: I agree wholeheartedly with you. I don't understand the people who keep defending how flexible and malleable the source material must be in the translation to movie just because it's comics and not highbrow literature, I can't help feel that if someone made an adaptation of a well known book but changed around the nature, ethnicity and backstory of the main characters that they would cry foul.
Peter Parker is a typical white kid living in the suburbs, with his Aunt May and uncle Ben, typical vanilla people from Queens, geeky, self-conscious, a bit of a social misfit and a brilliant student. Although the same situation could be created with different ethnicities, I don't see why it should be done. Is there any advantage in making Peter Parker turn into the Fresh Prince and move in with aunty May and uncle Ben in Bel-Air?
It stops being the character people love and grew up with, it starts being something uprooted and changed beyond recognition, a superhero is more than his costume. I don't believe that anyone can say you can change a character's backstory and identity and still have it work just because he has the same costume. Peter Parker called to so many teenagers because he was bullied and a social misfit in school, but when he became Spider-Man he could be himself and enjoy his life, doing what he thought was right.
If you want to have black/asian/hispanic superheros there are plenty of those waiting for their moment in the limelight, and there have already been some.
Nick Fury played by Samuel Jackson, is a example, in my opinion, of a character who deserved his own movie done right, and instead was changed to a cameo character chaged beyond recognition and played by Samuel Jackson whose charismatic personality drowned the Nick Fury character persona. It only works because nobody cares too much about the character who just shows up in movies for a few minutes at most. But I personally don't think the casting choice was very good. Which is not to say the abomination movie "Nick Fury" made with David Hasselhoff is any better, in fact, it is much much worse.

A lot of private trackers haven't added utorrent 2.0+ to their whitelist so I'm still using 1.8+.
@Tatterfoal: Oh, you've GOT to watch Tokyo Gore Police.
@starbuck13: It's not a gold-Titanium alloy. That would suck. Gold is malleable and pretty ductile. Try saying 'golden'-titanium alloy instead. It's just the colour painted over the titanium, not blended with it.
