You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.comAlandrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564958616469735697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-63511896393002831162018-02-08T16:13:09.945+00:002018-02-08T16:13:09.945+00:00Brilliant review of this timeless film.

I guess because the thing that really sticks with me for the final part is just the kinda extravagant (if that's the right word?) end of the world porn: just panel after panel after panel of "look at how fucked up things are!" "look!" "look!" "oh my god - now this!" I mean - omg - there's even a bit where you see that a "Salvation Army" sign has been somehow changed to read "the Satanic Army" (I mean - who did that? and WHY?): but yeah - that cop's mother's eating babies line is kinda the whole book in a nutshell: just a little bit too much and a little bit too: "check out how fucked up I can be!!" etc etc Islington Comic Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654481844004506004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-28025271546898367502012-08-17T02:21:55.849+01:002012-08-17T02:21:55.849+01:00Wow, didn't even notice that The Avengers fail...Wow, didn't even notice that The Avengers failed the Bechdel test. Thinking abt it, how awesome would a scene between Maria Hill and Black Widow have been, scripted by Joss Whedon! Fingers crossed there's something approaching that in the deleted scenes on the DVD (the original 'final' cut was like 4 hours long apparently, and I'm very willing to fantasise about all the gold that had to be cut for length...)<br /><br />I've read that article, and indeed, it's quite depressing. In the interests of balance, it should be said that a lot of comics get it right. Darwyn Cooke's Catwoman for example is a great take on the character: http://www.amazon.com/Catwoman-Book-The-Dark-Street/dp/1563899086I.V.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17167362896416316361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-32956201582256042632012-08-16T15:43:35.175+01:002012-08-16T15:43:35.175+01:00Good post, Thor was too good for the Avengers. In ...Good post, Thor was too good for the Avengers. In terms of the relative objectification of Catwoman and Black Widow I think I agree. I liked the Nolans' (still can't help but think of sisters there) portrayal of Catwoman right up until the end, where her decision to join him just made no sense! I'm fine with showing Batman getting on with his life with a woman, but with Kyle? No, the way I saw it, the only reason she helped out was so that she could put everything she'd done behind her and have a completely clean slate, and clean conscience - hence coming back when she could have escaped. Showing her with him at the end, giving up the clean slate she'd worked so hard for, because Batman is just obviously so desirable (not) just really annoyed me. She was his prize. But then I shouldn't complain because the film was still better than the actual New 52 comic books in terms of showing her face and not her arse http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/09/22/starfire-catwoman-sex-superheroine/ . Oooh one more thing, I think Batman actually passed the Bechdel Test which surprised me, whereas Avengers categorically didn't despite having a number of opportunities to. Right- nerd out.

Now I'm going back and catching up w/ what I've missed. There's a huge gap between the two. I'm waiting for when the show becomes what I remember it was -- i.e. amazing. But in the middle of season one, things are still very ropey. It's very enjoyable, tho. Particularly like the fast-paced way episode plots are established.<br /><br />It's hard not to react the way Charlie Brooker reacts to the notion of watching two seasons before a show starts delivering -- he said he didn't have TIME to wade through slosh until he got to the good parts. I think you really need to enjoy something about the show already to stick with it through the dry patches. Luckily, Farscape's first season is very enjoyable, partly because it IS a bit crap. It's also doing some nice things about the development of family within the ship, which gives me good vibes.I.V.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17167362896416316361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-77116066418904409662011-10-16T02:41:54.129+01:002011-10-16T02:41:54.129+01:00Farscape is most certainly worth talking about!

The third season is when the all the elements of the show began to "click", so to speak. In the same way that shows like Angel or Fringe didn't "click" until their third seasons as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-89174218818437944022011-10-03T18:01:35.912+01:002011-10-03T18:01:35.912+01:00Thank you!

Hadn't thought of this before, but yr right, there's deffo enough story and depth to the character to justify an Origins: Emma Frost film. I don't think she should be played by January Jones, tho. <br /><br />That Wolverine film was pretty shit, although I over-thought it and <a href="http://dollhousehothouse.blogspot.com/2009/05/wolverine.html" rel="nofollow">concluded</a> that it wasn't so bad. Because I have my ways. As for too-many-superheroes syndrome, watch when Whedon's Avengers shows everyone how it's done! ...Maybe.<br /><br />Also, Thor is seriously, seriously, awesome. So far my favourite film this year, no joke. Disagree with everything you say about it, apart from perhaps the Portman bit... if you make the dimensions REALLY small, she's got more than two.I.V.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17167362896416316361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-10426706329254724772011-06-10T10:53:55.674+01:002011-06-10T10:53:55.674+01:00I pretty much agree with the review.

I think January was hired simply because Mad Men is set in the 60's and well so's this film so surely it'd work. <br />I'd love to see an X-Men Origins about her character, a retro Wolverine one (I STILL havent seen the wolverine origins one they did do) or the magneto one, shame it got canned. But I fear the X-Men stories have too many characters and intertwined to ever really work as a film. <br />Finally, Thor was dull, predictable and its greatest crime of all was making Natalie Portman 2 dimensional.

For one, Derrida might want to think again about how much of capitalism is just a mental construct, but disregarding that, my problem is that ghosts don't cut it. Gloom and nostalgia isn't inspirational enough.<br /><br />The artists at the end aren't hauntologists, no. I picked them out because that kind of music is suggestive of multiple (international) experiences and traditions swirled together -- something I find more exciting and 'inspiring'.<br /><br />...then again, it's hardly more likely to inspire revolutions, is it? So all of the above is just pointless pretension. Reading bits about the student protests, the soundtrack to insurrection seems to be aggressive party-smashers like 'Next Hype' and 'Pow'...I.V.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17167362896416316361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067790849166063967.post-71228751302629968942011-04-20T15:40:48.336+01:002011-04-20T15:40:48.336+01:00I am shit.
