Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Uh. There's a strong chance that they're bringing him back. It's been implied more than once.
No, really
DAMMIT!
Well, the hints that have been dropped definitely don't mean that DC will follow through, because right now they are Lameass Clusterfuck Central.

Haven't been up on the comics scene for a while. Hell, I only read Identity Crisis this Christmas and still haven't read Infinite Crisis or MegaWHOA! Crisis or Not A Crisis, but Definitely a Bummer or whatever came after IC.

Don't even bother. Basically, the multiverse is back, the New Gods have been killed, and....that's about it.
There, I just saved you 2 years and bushels of money.

Cool, thanks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There's another Crisis coming this summer, which DC is (quite optimistically) calling Final Crisis.

Remind me to cancel my pulls this week. No more. No more.
(Can't afford 'em, no time to catch up, and I think I'll just Cling To Trades.)

We finally did this, too. Still get some pulls, but cut back a lot. We also used to get dupes of many titles (one for GF, one for me), but we stopped that, too. We are overrun with comic boxes.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
I haven't had pulls in over a decade. Sadly.
The only comic books I'm following at all right now are Buffy S8 and Grendel: Behold the Devil.
I've been letting Buffy pile up because they were bugging me with the shortness.
Wagner knows how to pack a page, and the Grendels still go too quickly issue by issue, but I can't wait to read them. The urge to keep reading is too overpowering.

I really didn't like Superman Returns. In fact, the moment where he went into space and stuck his arms out like a Creed-lovin' mullet-man Jesus might have destroyed the very idea of Superman for me forever if not for Grant Morrison's pretty great All-Star Superman comic. I can't remember who recommended that to me, so if it was one of y'all, I owe you a word of thanks.
I was pretty ambivalent about V For Vendetta, too. There was some good in it, but all of the deviations from the comic made the story worse, not better. I mean, it's not like the comic is sacrosanct. There's certainly some room for improvement, but the romance made the central relationship even yuckier than the already-creepy one from the comic book, the police detective's arc was a loss, and they lost an important point about how fascists love machines. I like the little spray-painting girl, though.
