If the DC Universe is broken, then the Marvel Universe is obliterated. - TWuG Nov 17, 16:14 3
- wrong -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 16:16 2
  - Maybe the Skrull stuff is fixing everything they broke with House of M, Brand New Day, Death of Cap, Civil War, etc. - TWuG Nov 17, 16:18 1
    - I guess we just disagree. Marvel has never been better since the heyday of Jim Shooter's EIC days. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 16:21

- Hopefully it's good news. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 16:10
- I hope it isn't really bad news. Best wishes for you. -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:10
Monkey Fucking LA Traffic - JD Nov 17, 16:07 5
- "Hi. My name is JD and chicks who steal make me hot." :) -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:11 3
  - er, umm, in my defense (or perhaps sadly)...it goes back so much further in time than that -- nm - JD Nov 17, 16:14 2
    - It's a joke silly. -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:15 1
      - 8-) -- nm - JD Nov 17, 16:15
- so close JD, so close -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:09
Is the new Star Trek movie a prequel? -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:06 9
- The production has been secret on details like this, I think. That said, I don't think so - con_carne Nov 17, 16:12 1
  - Oh ok. Sylars nose looks so round in the trailer. Never noticed. -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:15
- Yes. Takes place after the TV show "enterprise" and before the 60s TV series. It also appears to reimagine - TWuG Nov 17, 16:11 4
  - well you're IM is partially ok.... - Remlik Nov 17, 16:14 3
    - ... you've heard of "attack of the clones", right? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:15 2

- he can do that, and he still leaves the mound after six innings complaining of aches and pains? what a .... -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:07
One Obama sentiment I agree with - - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:01
EW inspired poll: Who's on your list of entertainers of the year? - Mop Nov 17, 15:59 16
- Chuck Bartkowski! -- nm - David Nov 17, 16:12
- Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails should be #1 Musician of the Year. - JaxSean Nov 17, 16:07
- RDJr. outshone J.Black in Tropic Thunder as well. - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 16:05
- I think #1 is fine for Downey. Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, and a heck of a comeback story. -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:02 3
  - yup, I absolutely agree with this. -- nm - Callisto Nov 17, 16:05
  - I agree. His Tony Stark is just so damned likable and you get the vibe there's a lot of RDJ in him. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 16:04 1
    - word, in the wrong hands, Tony Stark would just be an ass -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:05
- Barack Obama/Sarah Palin on a rare bi-partisan double bill. Without them, much of 2008 is not fun. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 16:01 4
  - Tina Fey wil certainly be Top 10. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 16:02 3

      - This is actually a pretty crappy photo of her. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 16:10
      - Ahhhh... thought it was a "pre-list poll" kind of thing. *ugh* - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 16:07
- Why is he #1. Cause he got sober? Iron Man was darn good though. -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:01
- Grant Morrison! -- nm - Dan Didio Nov 17, 16:01 2
  - then why are you making him rewrite Final Crisis, Dan? -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:02 1
    - Because even Dan DiDio can only allow so much crap to pass. - Mop Nov 17, 16:04
Don't you just love when you get in the mood to be productive and before you know it you've worked 3 hours straight without getting distracted? -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 17, 15:58

  - true dat. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 15:50
now the Somali pirates have hijacked a Saudi supertanker -- (link) - crash davis Nov 17, 15:39 12
- I would make them walk the plank after chumming a little bit... -- nm - BAD Nov 17, 15:52
- yeah that's not gonna last. The Russians and Saudis are gonna carpetbomb that place. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 15:42 10
  - where do you bomb pirates? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 15:44 9
    - I say nuke Somalia from orbit, its the only way to be sure. -- nm - Cpl Hicks Nov 17, 15:57 2
      - unfortunately I don't know if bombing Somalia will do much good... they don't really have a government. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 16:00 1
        
        Don't worry about Somalia. The UN is on it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 16:05
    - I'm pretty positive they know where they are at. But yeah it's a tough situtation. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 15:47 4
      - there are towns where they gather ... but I don't think they're necessarily organized enough that bombing would have an effect. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 15:50 3
        
        I'd bomb the boat. And at least two or three others. After that, the piracy would likely drop. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 15:53 2
        
        an oil tanker? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 15:56 1

- He looks kinda of like a girl! -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 15:53 1
  - So is it OK to be attracted to him now? -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 15:57

- "makeup pirate." -- nm - Max Nov 17, 15:19
Poll: should it be a crime to Inauguration day swearing in tickets one has received during the free distribution? -- nm - Max Nov 17, 15:15 20
- I think it should be illegal. (is that the same as a crime?) -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 15:25
- I can't think of any reason why. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:20 13
  - oh, I'm sure you could think of some reason if you tried hard. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 15:23 12
    - [shrug] They're your property, why shouldn't you be able to sell 'em? - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:25 9
      - Your blood isn't a gift from the public to attend a public event. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 15:37 5
        
        Why shouldn't one be able to sell a gift? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:39 4
        
        This gift is specifically a benefit for the public and not meant to provide any one individual financial gain. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 15:43 3
        
        A gift of one ticket benefits one individual. Why shouldn't that individual be able to choose whether he benefits most from watching a ceremony or... - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:50
        
        The other line of thinking might argue that if it's a paying event, why not auction the tickets to help pay down the national debt? - Max Nov 17, 15:47 1
        
        I believe plenty of National Parks do charge admission. I certainly throw a few bucks in the 'suggested donation' box at the Smithsonian. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:49
      - isn't scalping illegal? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 15:26 2
        
        Not in most states. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:32 1
        
        Their lobby has deep pockets. And in some states it's illegal for an individual to scalp their ticket. - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 15:35
    - I think if a member of Congress gave a bunch to someone that he/she knew would sell them, the Congressperson should get into trouble. -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 15:24 1
      - Why? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 15:36

        We are not getting another cat. You can claim it's you in your shapeshifting phase, but I'll know you're lying. - Trish Nov 17, 15:21 2
        
        get a sheltie - call it Dean - snort -- nm - Pippy Nov 17, 15:22 1
