But not for lack of trying on the strippers' part!

I know, right? Must've been the flannel. Maybe they thought I was George Lucas' son.

Or maybe it was that their job is to dance naked for money.

I had to give myself a dick-punch for that one.

IMPOSSIBLE.

Oh man, I forgot about that.

*clenches fist*

hey, hey! don't slag off sir sean....

Thanks for the Kick-Ass spoiler-alert.

Hey "Annoying-bank-stories-that-no-one-gives-a-crap-living-shit-about" KWhack... I wasn't drunk. 100% sober, bitch.


Knize and Lee, I'll stroke your ego's anytime.

Just because of that song I will never do business with your bank. Ever.

@ Pete - The chat said it first, but I WAS quick to agree.

@ Eli - We have four branches, all in NH, and barely competitive rates. We also don't do mortgages. It was a safe bet you'd never do business with us anyways. That said? Good call.

tsk tsk tsk...and here I thought you knew me.

Kick Ass was a great movie. I am waiting for the opinion to change when Nick Cage gives an interview next year...

I never told Loeb I liked Ultimates 3 or Ultimatum, and I never said I hate Nick Cage. I don't love him, either, but... the point stands. An interview of Nick Cage, by me, would focus almost entirely on his comic book love and as little as possible on his movie roles.

I'm just playin, dog! Although I do totally disagree with your thoughts on the movie.

I just reread kick ass today after listening and while there are things the comic did better I feel like most of the changes were fine and needed to try and make a semi successful film.

Think about the end of Taxi Driver and think if that would be a big enough ending for a summer blockbuster.

I know you were kidding, but I'm still going to stand my ground.

In the interest of full disclosure? I've never seen Taxi Driver. But I get the reference.

1) Mid-April isn't even remotely the summer.
2) I resent any and all inferences that good stories can't be blockbusters on their own merits.
3) I am ALL FOR changing up some elements of a comic for movie consumption. I've said it in regards to Watchmen being TOO faithful. I never want panel-for-panel interpretations. But neither do I want sweeping thematic changes. I'll reference one of the Holy Grails - X-Men 2.

They adapted various elements of the X-Men's lore into a near perfect cinematic experience. The characters retained their core essences despite how they were otherwise changed.

The simple fact that Kick-Ass gets the girl is enough to radically alter the character and the film-going experience and make him little more than a Spider-Man clone. You've taken away the character's unique appeal.

Spider-Man is the guy almost every nerd wants to be. He's a hapless dork who through a twist of fate becomes a successful hero and has two hot girls vying for his affection.

Kick-Ass is the guy that almost every nerd WOULD be if they tried to become a superhero. He's a hapless dork who falls down, gets beaten up, and just in general fails at life despite his best intentions.

Movie Kick-Ass is the stereotypical Hollywood male lead. He bungles his way through life, but because he's the male lead, he always comes out on top. He lies to a girl who should have no real interest in him in the first place, and instead of indignant dejection, he gets laid. Repeatedly. He ends up with a jetpack that he'd have no means of getting himself, so that he can ride in as the cavalry in a ridiculously scripted scene. And when he and his nemesis knock each other unconscious, he's the one who gets up and pimps away, because he's "the hero." It is EVERYTHING that is to be hated about Hollywood.

I won't let a jetpack or the fact that Kick-Ass gets his dick wet ruin my enjoyment of a fun, violent, entertaining flick.

Plus...women are crazy. Why couldn't she change her mind from one adaptation to the other?

Jetpack-Gate just seems like an excuse to not like the movie, which in all intents and purposes, is in the big leagues as far as successful comics-to-film adaptations.

::shrugs:: Again... we're really making more of this than I ever meant to. It's not like I consider this a Transformers 2 level travesty, I just hate the Hollywoodification of the story and feel it ultimately makes it "Meh"

On a different note, I think Actiony Packtioned Ruko should be an anime style mascot for the site, so there is a dude to balance out with Page.

listening right now and its pretty good.

btw the "wow... the editing on this video is amazing" comment on the Kevin Conroy Spotlight video was from me

BUT.......only ONE nerd can dress like him and pull it off well, and I sir am that nerd!

That is true.
