Is eight-years-dead -- to the day -- too late to resurrect a thread? Justified returns tonight.

That happened to me with the original Sideshow ROTLA Indiana Jones. I ordered one. Sideshow sent me six (a crate rather than a single). Called and e-mailed several times to try to ship them back. Nobody ever called me back. Ended-up selling the other five to a local comic shop. SnakeDoc

There are rumors there's more Knightmare stuff coming in the Snyder Cut. Here's hoping they re-visit the figure. I missed the first release. SnakeDoc

Possibly. The issue is, the story is about a gunslinging bounty hunter growing a conscience. Which means ... his conscience needs a reason. The kid was the reason. If you take him out ... you either have to replace him with something equally conscience-inducing, or you have to completely...

I thought it was OK. Never watched any of the shows outside of Crisis ... at least not since Smallville (which I saw most of). Most of the really good stuff was the fan-service cameos, though. Routh's Superman stole the show, and Conroy's Bruce Wayne was phenomenal -- I'd watch a series about...

Well, it was political, whether it's a parody or not. Intentionally. I don't think that's reading too much into the intent of the writer/ director/ actress. It's either a direct political statement ... or a mockery of people who sound like that when making political statements. Or, a little...

I couldn't tell if L3 was genuine ... or supposed to be a parody. Even Lando rolls his eyes at the thing. It's so over-the-top and obnoxious that it borders on tongue-in-cheek. Half of her lines are making a fool of herself ("Can I get you anything?" "EQUAL RIGHTS!" "Ugh."). It is a little...

Chalk-up another win for toxic masculinity. We?re on a roll. SnakeDoc

Eh. Never heard of her. But, I don't mind this one. Selina Kyle has been of black or racially vague before. Adam West's show had a black Catwoman. Wasn't Catwoman in Year One also black (if not, she was at least racially vague)? Halle Berry was terrible ... but she's not a white woman...

Yes. Cost. Fun-factor. And, adults picking the shelves of good stuff and leaving stuff nobody wants. First, adult collectors want so much quality for artistic display toys that they're killing the market for inexpensive toys intended to be played with. That quality costs money to produce...

How consistent is Toys Era from prototype to production? Never heard of 'em. SnakeDoc

Good grief. I hope he's been hitting the weight room and cutting the carbs since, maybe, 2017. He needs a running start to get in John Connor shape ... SnakeDoc

One of the first times I've ever seen a picture of a woman, and her eyebrows were the first thing I noticed. Never quite understood the feminine obsession with eyebrow grooming ... until now. SnakeDoc

From what I've heard, it sounds like Bond retired ... and she's just the new agent with his old number. Not exactly a recast, in that case. If I'm wrong, and this is really a recast ... I'm out. The Ghostbusters recast was a slap across the face to the longtime fanbase. This would be ten...

I don't care all that much about the Ariel casting. It does seem a bit hypocritical that those celebrating this so heavily are so appalled at "cultural appropriation" in other contexts. It is a Danish fairy tale ... so somewhat connected to Danish and Scandinavian culture. And, it's generally...

Reminds me of the Indiana Jones Comic Con line from a decade or so ago. After a lackluster store-shelves showing for the Kingdom figures, they released Toht, the German Mechanic, Satipo and a few others as Con exclusives. Never hit the market, and they were damned tough to find on the...

Haven't seen The Ghost and the Darkness. I'll have to look for it. I think 'The Edge' suffered quite a bit from a bad title. Completely meaningless, generic and forgettable title ... for a really good movie. SnakeDoc

The Edge, w/ Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. Top ten manliest movies ever made. Secondhand Lions, Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. Not to many heartwarming guys'-guy movies out there. The bar fight scene with Duvall is classic ... Cinderella Man. Probably the best sports movie ever...

For me, it wasn't 'good riddance' for Tara. I didn't dislike her. But, she struck me as a character that survived this long because she was never important enough to kill off. She was mostly comic relief, anyway. When you want to write-in a big death -- to Negan's bat, or the cannibals, or...
