  1. There's always the possibility that these 'leaks' are a form of viral marketing being put out by R* themselves. Whatever people are choosing to believe about them it's certainly generating a fair amount of hype, at a very cheap cost, and it seems like way too much work has gone into these to just be dismissed as the ramblings of an overexcited fanboy.

     

    Of course if this is the case then it still doesn't answer quite how to take them.

  2. I haven't really watched any Japanese wrestling for a good couple of years, but I'm really getting the itch again, so I was just wondering if anyone couple recommend any good jumping-on points and give me a basic run down of what's going on? I used to love NJPW, NOAH, FMW & DDT, so something in that sort of vein, although to be honest I'll just settle for anywhere with good, solid wrestling.

  3. Seem to have stopped buying as many Gn's in the last few months Marvel just seems really crap after the Skrull invasion storyline which was pants.

     

    Totally agree man. Almost everything they've put out post-Secret Invasion has seemed crap. The writing has an almost 80's feel to it, and a couple of people seem to be bringing back the old style 'thought bubbles', which I thought had died out years ago. This so called 'Heroic Age' smacks of 'PG Era WWE' in my eyes, and after the thought provoking, politically influenced stories they'd been throwing out there ever since Avengers Disassembled it's really disappointing.

     

    Saying that I did enjoy the One Moment In Time story in ASM, but probably since me and my ex had a very similar talk the week it came out, and IMO she's started looking exactly the same as the way they drew MJ in those scenes, to the point where it actually freaked me out when I opened the comic. I know some spidey fans that hated it so maybe it wasn't that good, but it really hit home for me.

     

    On the plus side it's pushing me back towards Vertigo, which I've somehow stopped following over the past couple of years.

  4. Watchmen should never have been a movie at all. Alan Moore wrote it specifically as something that would only work in the medium of comic books, and the movie ended up being almost a frame for frame interpretation which just emphasized that and exacerbated that problem. Well, that a despite it being an almost word for word remake it still managed to completely miss the point and stripped away and semblance of 'character motivation'.

    At least with V For Vendetta they at least tried to make it work in a more cinematic sense.

     

    Jesus, I feel like Mr. Seven after that, I need a shower....
