Hell, you probably don't even get a certificate suitable for framing.

I was thinking of looking into Shadowland because some of the peeks I've seen looked interesting. Not so sure now.

Falcon?

...with Deadpool thrown in. Seriously, how many friggin' titles does Deathstroke-lite need to be in anyway?

It was indeed awesome. Two people complained it was distracting and annoying. I'll never understand the presumption of others that they can dictate what is presented in a public forum, barring that it meets accepted forum technical parameters. Regardless, I was asked nicely enough, and the "animated signature wars" is not the rock I want to die on.

But I do need something better. Maybe one of you guys can help me. GIANT IMAGE ALERT.



I need that shrunk down to signature size. I only have MS Paint available to me at work, and opening it in that causes it to lose the transparent background and replacing it with an ugly white thing. Can anyone help? There is a Yeti-sized hole in my heart/signature at the moment.

Edit: NEVER MIND!

Its cast is excellent all around, and even if you don't like Michael Cera - I thought he gave a much better performance as Scott Pilgrim than the trailers suggested - you do get to see him punched a lot. The slacker atmosphere is well done (unsurprisingly, coming from the director of Spaced). The fight scenes are superb, and those who choose only to rent it won't see their full impact on the small screen. The movie's only real drawback is that as a compression of a six-issue graphic novel series, it often feels like has to skim the source material, whether or not you're familiar with it.

In short, the geeks who have stayed inexplicably away don't know what they're missing. I'd definitely like to see it again ... if it were playing in an accessible location.

Also, a new villain named Swiss Miss is just asking for guffaws.

Vampire Sucks - $1615/$2068 - 3233 theaters - dropped only 799 theaters for week 3

So at the end of it's 2nd week, Scott Pilgrim loss 44% of it's theaters compared to only 25% for Vampires Suck yet earned 36% more money during the preceding week. That's what sticks in my claw.
