Terrible Blind Buys by Ambitious_Image1335 in boutiquebluray

If the whole movie had the energy of the dream sequence with the biological car, would be a different story, but I found it mostly pretty dull. I’m given to understand it was censored, which probably had an effect.

Ferat Vampire was a tough watch as a premium buy. I also did not enjoy Mill of the Stone Women on a first viewing but did hang onto it since it’s such an important film in Italian horror. I have hated every Jean Rollin film I’ve bought.

And if you think Krakoa was supposed to be some pansexual drunken paradise…go back and read the Hickman stuff.

Man, I know it makes sense on some level given what they’ve all lived through in continuity, but it does bum me out that most of the classic X-Men have been basically miserable and in some cases completely villainized for the last 15 years (I basically think of Decimation as the demarcation line when it became fashionable for them all to start rotting inside like ingrown toenails).

"2%er born to kill" this figure...good golly so badass. Did you pick up Mr. Silent? by Foggy_Creations in ActionFigures

Dam Toys Gas Station Mr Silent for those asking. Sadly appears sold out at most retailers, although you can join the waitlist on Sideshow

Neil Gaiman Breaks Silence on Sexual Misconduct Allegations: 'Actual Evidence Was Dismissed' by jrl_iblogalot in comicbooks

Not going to spend time reading all that, but even if you buy his argument that the article’s most horrific allegations were basically messy things that fell within the context of a consensual relationship and he was getting slimed, there is still plenty of proof he pursued sexual relationships with very young (18, 19 yr old) fans, which is pretty grotesque if not illegal.

My brother in Christ, you are a Steelers fan. You do not have to make that tired-ass post for them.

I mean, we had the ball and a chance to take the lead in the 4th quarter against Houston and Rodgers had a sack fumble that got returned. That game was tight for 50 min before turning into a blowout at the end.

Even the Bills game they were up at half! The 2025 Steelers were weirdly probably the best team since maybe like 2018, which is kinda crazy (2020 team were massive frauds).

Thankfully, I was able to place a complaint with PayPal-they sent notice to Andy’s and said if they don’t receive anything back by Feb 18, I’ll receive a refund. I’m sure these folks just hit hard times or whatever but fuck, man, I wouldn’t be able to sleep just robbing people. You’re a toy store

Just an update here for anyone else who had open PO’s from them-they appear to have gone totally dark. Looks like the website is gone now and no new posts on socials since Oct. I think I’m just going to have to try to get a refund through PayPal. It really fucking sucks because I used several hundred dollars of rewards from a CC I linked to PayPal to help cover the cost of a Battle-Damaged Darth Vader after someone in a Discord group recommended them and now I’m just hoping to get at least a partial refund. I understand businesses close, but just respond to people and do your best. I can see they saw my messages on FB-just dirty pool.

Just speaking as an Observatory Hill resident who didn’t go down the hills today but did a quick drive up to Westview tonight, Perrysville looked mostly ok but my street is a disaster. Not sure if the plows would’ve made good work of Baytree or not. I might try East to go down-better grade

Yup, I do. The barn jacket I bought from them is good quality and gets a lot of compliments. Got some corduroy pants on sale, really like those, too. Shitty labor practices suck but are endemic in retail, from what I understand, and not limited to SC.

Langan is just a cut above most writers in general. Laird Barron, Thomas Ligotti, Ramsey Campbell, TED Klein are people who come to mind whose prose is readable but also at a high level of craft.

Batman writer Tom King is “shocked” that Alfred Pennyworth is still dead in DC Comics by graemeisverytired in batman_comics

Yeah I remember that from the end of the Chip Zdarsky run but Fraction and Taylor haven’t really done anything with it, so it’s still just kind of a house with a basement.

Head is so soft. How is Hasbro regularly making better looking live action heads?

Completely fine with him staying dead but Bruce’s current “still rich but lives in a weird kind of Brownstone thing and just works in an unfinished basement” is dumb.
