Damnit!!!

Fuck it, Geoff Johns. You got me.

Even the JSA couldn't get me to watch Smallville (though granted, it might be different if my favorites were involved) but you found the one, ONE, thing that would get me to watch.

Amanda Waller.

Because I don't care how fucked up or irritating the Smallville universe is to me. Amanda Waller is enough. Especially when played by Pam Grier.

Well played, sir. Well played.

Oooo!

Okay, I don't know whether this would work or not, but I would totally read Geoff Johns writing a He-Man comic.

The potential for awesome is just...well, awesome!

As long as they keep the main character's tendency toward gratuitous bondage I'm there!

A comic cover for you!

MPRE done! Might have passed! I have no idea! But I'll know in a month or so. If I fail, there's no real bad consequence since I can take it again in March.

At some point I have to resume doing Galaxy Ranger recaps, as they are fun to do. Sadly they also take a lot longer than just watching the show, so finding time is tricky.

But I feel bad about not posting for two days, so here's a present.



Can you believe that THIS ended up one of the most mimicked "villain" identities ever? I mean, really. For years it seemed like every villain who didn't want to reveal himself yet would suddenly start calling himself Erik the Red.

I've always said Cyclops was more of a diabolical genius than he lets on.

Also, this is more evidence that I'm using in my argument that there should be some AU/What-If storyline out there where Scott Summers totally became a Robin.

I mean think about it. He's about Dick's age. Angsty. Tall, thin and dark. Orphaned. Horrible fashion sense. Good tactical sense. Insane plans. He's perfect.

And really, he'd be the one character in both universes for whom Bruce Wayne as a father figure would actually be the HEALTHIEST option.

Wish me luck!

Okay, I have the MPRE on Saturday (Multi-state Professional Responsibility Exam, if I'm not botching my acronym). I'm kind of nervous. Wish me luck!

Damnit. I ended up missing the V premiere. Can someone who saw it tell me if it's any good? Morena Baccarin (sp?) seems like inspired casting, though I've never much liked Scott Wolf. I liked the original a lot.

So, is it worth watching as a casual fan of the original? Or will I be disappointed?

Question

What's the worst comic book movie you ever saw?

For me, naturally, it's the 1990s Captain America. I've blogged about why.

There are other movies that are objectively bad that I really enjoyed, such as Nick Fury. And there are movies that are very bad adaptations that actually make decent movies if you pretend you never saw the original comic, such as Constantine. Captain America managed to combine bad, with bad adaptation, with the worst crime of all: it was boring! (And totally self-contradictory.)

So what's it for you?

Happy Halloween!
