The Simpsons...

Remember when the Simpsons were awesome? I know I do...here are some classic quotes:

Marge: Homer, is this how you pictured married life?
Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.

Homer: Marge? Since I'm not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?
Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.
Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.
Bart: You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup homeboy?
Homer: Marge, tell Bart I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.
Marge: Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.
Homer: Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.
Marge: Homer, you're not not-talking to me and secondly I heard what you said.
Homer: Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case.
Bart: Uhhh, dad, Lisa's the one you're not talking to.
Homer: Bart, go to your room!

Lawyer: Uh oh, we've drawn Judge Snyder.
Marge: Is that bad?
Lawyer: Well he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog...
Marge: You did?
Lawyer: well replace the word kinda with the word repeatedly and the word dog with son...

Bart: Dad, can I go to a rap concert? Tickets are 50 dollars.
Homer: Go to hell.
Bart: Ok, what if I paid for it myself?
Homer: Fine, go nuts
Bart: I love you dad.
Homer: I love you too Jerry.

Homer: Maaaaaaaaarge. It's uterUS not uterYOU.

Lisa: Dad, what's a muppet?
Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, not quite a puppet... but man... ehehehehahahaehe... so to answer your question, I don't know.


ONE OF MY FAVS:

Marge: Homer, you had it set on whore!! Besides, I don't think women will like being shot in the face.
Homer's Reply: Women will like what I tell them to like.

My thoughts...

Same old drivel? Some would say.

However, I disagree. Yeah, it's the same old characters...but to me, it doesn't matter. These movies are fun...they're great. When I saw these movies, I had a great time. Depending on the movie, I was either laughing or smiling...or sitting on the edge of my seat with anticipation. I thought that all three of these movies were well done. I thought they were beautiful to look at, exciting and fun. When I watched Batman Begins, it wasn't like I was watching a rehashing of the same old character. Christopher Nolan brought so much new stuff to the movie version of this character. I thought it was great. I am so excited for the sequel! I thought Superman Returns was magnificent. Yeah, the whole fighting an island thing was kind of silly but I must admit that I loved the movie. TMNT...one word: "Brilliant." Now I love comic book movies. Well, I love all movies. I don't read Marvel or DC...I am not biased in anyway...however, when I saw the previews for all 3 of these movies, I got excited...and I knew that I had to see them. I felt the same way when I saw previews for the Hulk, Spiderman, and even X-Men 2.

I thought that these movies were successes...both in the box office and entertaining me. I think that the whole Spiderman franchise is terrific. I am also excited about the new Hulk movie. I am not overly happy with the X-Men series though. I was disappointed in the first one (just my opinion), LOVED the second one. VERY VERY disappointed with the third one. However, at the height of the comic book movies...both Marvel and DC decided...oh man...now we can capitalize on this. So out comes Catwoman. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! What? Way to ruin a good thing. Then Marvel comes out with Daredevil, Electra, Punisher, Ghost Rider. Yeah, they are making movies of their characters that aren' t there powerhouses but they are bad. I would love to see movies on these characters if they were good movies. I saw Punisher, hated it. I saw Daredevil, I didn't like it. I never saw Electra...but I could tell that it wouldn't be good. I saw previews for Ghost Rider...and I thought it looked terrible. The special effects were cheesy and the one liners sounded awful. How do you feel? I feel like my skull is on fire. What? SHUT IT!

In short, I am all for making comic book movies. I enjoy them...for the most part. I am loved
the first crow movie. I like the fantastic 4 movie (and am excited about the sequel)! I loved Hellboy and am excited for that sequel too. However, if Marvel wants to make movies of all their characters, I am all for it but please, MAKE THEM GOOD! I do not want to see any more movies that are thrown together so quickly like, X-Men 3. Or movies that are just poorly executed like the Punisher or Daredevil. I think all three of those movies could have been AWESOME!! But I must admit that for the most part, I thought that they were AWFUL! So that's it, that's my two cents. DC, keep making the movies you make, I enjoy them. (Even if it is the same old drivel to some people.) Marvel...keep making movies...but learn from your mistakes. You've made some AWESOME MOVIES and some AWFUL ones...keep making the awesome ones...that is all.

Spiderman...4

Although I think we should all wait to see Spiderman 3 before talking about Spiderman 4, I just couldn't resist.

Marvel Studios has confirmed that Spider-Man 3 won't be the last in the series.

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," Marvel Studios' Producer Kevin Feige told MTV. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

In July, Tobey Maguire gave comic book fanboys a conniption when he told USA Today that he didn't believe a Spider-Man 4 was in the cards.

"We've done an amazing job at keeping things fresh," Maguire told USA Today. "But, it's hard to imagine continuously coming up with stories that deserve to be told. I'm not sure if there are more stories for this character that are interesting enough to be excited about doing more."

Feige can't guarantee that Maguire would return for a fourth film.

"When you're concentrating on one movie at a time, there's a beginning and a middle and an end to that process," Feige reasoned. "We've been topping each one as they go, [and if that happens again], that's the time for those discussions."

It's good to hear from a Marvel representative that the company is commited to making more Spider-Man movies (as long as there is a market for them) with or without Maguire.

And as for the market, Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 are two of the top 20 biggest grossing films of all time Worldwide (Top 10 domestically).

Fan made Two Face

A fan made Two Face...I know how Luvcroft loves these...so here you go buddy!

Well?

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you guys do me and Spiderman a favor...

Ok...so in 3 days...I am leaving and going to CA!! WOO HOO!!!! I am going to be seeing some friends...and selling some books that I have put together. I wrote a few of the stories...and others I just help put together...so yeah...there it is. However, here is the MEAT AND POTATOES of this post. I will not mention any names...because that would just be rude. I will give them aliases. I am going to be talking about two of my friends...so let's call them...hmm...what would be good aliases...oh, I know...how about J and S. Ok...so J and S, can you guys do me a favor? PLEASE! If you guys need to talk on the phone every night...or e-mail each other...or respond to each others blogs then do it...what I need from you guys is to not talk about Superman fighting the Hulk and not talk about DC vs Marvel. Also, if you could do your best not to trash DC or Marvel, I would greatly appreciate it. I am going to be on vacation and I would really love to not have to kill myself. I talked it over with the fat Spiderman (pictured above) and he agreed with me. He just says, "Come on guys, tone it down...this is supposed to be fun!" I couldn't agree with him more.
In a related topic: I am super excited, pumped, and nervous about CA! I think we are going to have a blast...but man...this is like a big deal, you know?

"Hey thanks Spiderman!"

"Everybody gets one!"

well?

Preview: 1947

Which one is better?

What do you think?

California here we come...

So, the team: "trois noir" Collected...is done...and it is being printed and shipped to CA as we speak. That was a nice weight lifted off my chest. However, my job is not done. I am now working on the preview book. Here is the cover. What do you guys think? Let me know. It took me a long time to make it...but if people aren't happy, I can change it. So, let's be honest. How does everybody feel about this? Thanks for your honesty. Back to the preview book!
