You are a scholar and a mensch, Sir Ward.

Chris your piece rocked!

It seems like the more shit get thrown at Wizard the more pup PoP! gets. If this brings positive attention to the site and what you guys do here then that is awesome!

Thanks, Sean and Chris. We heart you both.

I'm starting to think Shamus isn't the soulless monster everyone makes him out to be. Every misstep his company makes only helps out other conventions and websites. It's like Wizard is some sort of diabolical philanthropist.

I know. I hate the way I sound when I hear my voice on playback. It's so not how I hear my own voice.

WOW! You might be on to something there, sir.

you played my favourite opening ever

All I can say is... big doin's are a-transpirin'

How is it that a man who OWNS a vest doesn't know how to play things close to the vest?

HAHAHA!!!! LMFAO!!! Hey! HEY! It's not like I started humming music or anything! It's called a tease!

I would say it's part of his plan to take over everything comic related by infecting it with his touch...but he's not that clever.

Wellp. I'll be late to tonight's show with bells on.

Dude that pinocchio book sounds awesome!

Wow my F/M/K was not as contentious as I'd hoped. The baked goods one was the best.

Hey, sometimes there's just a clear answer.

Twilight is not a good movie. I don't say that because it's teenage girl fodder, I could care less who the movie is aimed at. I say that on pure cinematic achievement and storytelling and it fails at every level.

Essentially what it boils down to is there is no conflict or any real problem for anyone to face. Edward Cullen is an immortal who is gorgeous to look at. He's intelligent and athletic and doesn't really have any problems. When Bella starts snooping around he finally confides in her what he really is, "You want to see what I really am?!" as if he's hiding some terrible dark secret. He then steps into the sunlight and becomes even more beautiful. That's his big horrible tragedy; he sparkles like diamonds. Okay, but he's hundreds of years old and still having to live the life of a teenage, that should eat at him right? I mean, that should provide some really cool duality to the character? Nope, as old as he is his personality is as old as his appearance. He behaves, thinks, and feels just like any typical angsty teenager. Meanwhile, Bella just moves to town and like most kids, should feel like an outsider and should have to overcome some sort of conflict. Being a teenager is tough and it's even tougher in a new place. Well, it is for the rest of us anyway. Bella is instantly liked by everyone.

The movie is about nothing more than these two people getting to know each other. What should be covered in a ninety-second montage is the premise of the entire movie. The point of a movie is for characters to overcome obstacles and to grow and change by the end of the movie. None of that occurs. They simply go about their teenage lives, briefly fight the so-called "evil" vampires (you know, the ones that actually do what vampires are known for doing), and then go to the prom. Oh, and there's vampire baseball. This is not a movie, this is simply an excuse for girls to gather together and swoon over Robert Pattinson.

and joshua said pretty much what I would have said

edit: just heard the F,M,K intro bwah-ha-ha!

I'm just saying I did not hate it and I'm more than a little interested in the follow-up. It's not good by any stretch of the imagination. I said after we watched it that it was weak sauce for the villain to meet the hero more than 2/3 through the movie. But it had its moments. I genuinely enjoyed the family dynamic of the Cullens and some of those characters. I was genuinely entertained and that is FAR beyond what I expected from Twilight.

And Pattinson? I don't see the big deal. Maybe my heterosexuality has something to do with it, but I think he's goofy lookin'.
