  1. I had to log on here for the first time in forever just to unfollow this topic. Don't get me wrong. Doctor Strange is one of my favorite heroes and I'm over the moon about Raimi taking over. Thinking about what he'll do with Nightmare and Mordo is almost too exciting. But my inbox keeps getting flooded with notifications from this thread. Enough! Bye, again! Love you all!
  2. Wasn't there a Pika-Pika over Endgame club? That's about when I bugged out last year...
  3. Fox did that with Deadpool 2 so why not? WB could get a little cash from the Hot Topic crowd with a PG-13 rating.
  4. I had heard about all the crossovers in Crisis but hadn't seen any clips. It actually looks interesting. I'll have to check it out for BOP, Routh's Kingdom Come Superman and other neat callbacks. Hopefully they righted some wrongs from past movies and shows.
  5. Suicide Squad was so hilariously awful that I spent the entire movie literally crying with laughter. Every little thing set me off: Harleen's swandive, Enchantress' wiggly dance, Slipknot losing his head, Cap'n Boomerang's sparkly unicorn, etc., etc. I love that movie! Best comedy since Prometheus is what it was.
  6. I wanted that show to succeed so bad. It was such a shame that it sucked.
  7. It's called Tumblr and it ain't all that dark. (This panel is from a comic book, tho.)
  8. Joker was at 9.5+ on IMdB with thousands of votes before the GA ever had the chance to see it. That's typical of DCEU movies. In contrast, we can expect a deluge of 1-star votes for Episode 9 before it comes out because IMdB is the last place haters (and stans) can screw with audience ratings.
  9. Mendelson doesn't seem to know much about making box office predictions. His predictions are almost always off the mark. One would think that in his years of blogging about box office numbers he would have learned a thing or two, but sadly that's not the case. Anyone here could do Mendelson's job, and far better than he does. (Except for me. I'm just dabbling. )
  10. Disney's inevitable live-action Frozen will rake in billions. They also have Tangled, The Incredibles and Wreck-It Ralph to adapt. Don't think that Alan Horn isn't doing preproduction on these as we speak.
  11. Of course. Sif is extremely popular in the comics and Jaime Alexander was perfect for the role. Unfortunately, the writing in the first two movies never tapped into Sif's true potential. Once Marvel hired Portman to play Jane, they weren't going to waste her by focusing on Thor's Asgardian lover. (Portman wasted herself, however.) With Jane becoming the Mighty Thor, my hope is that Taika will bring Sif back. He's writing and will surely be able to give her the material she deserves. Something tells me that Valkyrie and Jane are gonna end up ruling Asgard together. It would be perfectly fitting if Thor and Sif soared off into the Nine Realms together, seeking to restore order to the realm.
  12. The funny thing about the situation is that the people trolling those forums were usually older women, although several were men who targeted us because most of the posters were female. They were soap opera forums, but soap fans are just as vicious flame-warriors as any other subset of fans. Maybe more so. There were death threats aimed at both fans and stars by unhinged people, over things as trivial as criticism of costumes or ships. One woman threatened an actress at a fan gathering for "stealing" the male half of her favorite couple. And that was par for the course. It's surreal to know that some grandma posted that she was going to drive a thousand miles to shoot someone for calling Erica Kane a bitch on the Internet. One of my friends bought guns because the granny punishers posted his address and assured him that when he heard the shots it would be too late. Those women pioneered doxxing fifteen years ago. They had my address, too, from web hosting records, and some of them said they wanted me dead. That was some scary shit at times.
  13. This is very true. It is all but impossible for a person to successfully hide all of their writing habits for a long period of time. The true style and persona always breaks through eventually, no matter how hard they try to disguise themselves. That is why most people who create alt accounts resort to using bad grammar and/or pretend that English is their second language. It seems like perfect cover to the troll, particularly if they are good writers.
  14. Not surprising if JCS isn't banned. Some people can do or say anything they want here and skate on by. BOT is a bit like Animal Farm in that regard.
  15. Maybe all of the Cameron 'stans were sock puppets of one person. Anyone thought of that? Back when I ran my own forums, there were always a few protean posters who would switch between multiple identities to troll. A couple of them worked in large offices and would use their coworkers' computers to get around banning. One person worked for the Massachusetts state government and the other for a tech company in the Midwest. They were only persuaded to stop trolling when I tracked their IPs, posted logs of their troll posts and threatened to contact their employers' internet service providers/IT departments. The racism and constant explicit bestiality references called for drastic measures.
