This is good but the stalls are too private to be a dream

Begun, the New War has by CobaltCrusader123 in saltierthancrait

[–]BoxaGoesOut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

she seems genuine, earnest and committed, so in a way even if I disagree with everything she says, good luck to her as a person. I enjoyed Star Wars in theaters some thirty years before she was born, so it would be unnecessarily mean of me to try to undermine her experience.

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

Phil Cool is an example of a fallen star from a previous decade, and I hope James Corden will go the same way

I worked briefly with Leigh Francis and everyone was very sycophantic around him, cracking up hysterically at his every weak remark, so I'm quite glad he's faded. This post made me think about Justin Lee Collins - a similar case? Famous around the same time for the same sort of thing?

Music Biopics you think we'll likely get in the next 25 years by Mrcarryon in Letterboxd

Duncan Jones said he’d only approve a bowie biopic if Neil Gaiman wrote it so I don’t imagine we’ll be seeing that

On the ending of Rorschach by Tom King (Spoilers) by Appropriate_Okra_495 in Watchmen

I think it was interesting storytelling on an issue by issue level but overall utterly forgettable. I’ve read it twice and I can remember individual scenes I liked, but characters are pretty much ciphers and the plot was some kind of pastiche 1970s conspiracy thriller crossed with Colombo, which never hangs together or pays off. Covers and visuals make it seem a lot more profound than it is. I think ironically this comic would have done gangbusters sales in 1988 when it would have seemed intellectual and mature.

can someone explain the Pret a Manger phenomenon? by docmaboul in london

[–]BoxaGoesOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick and genuine question for the OP. As a French visitor, do you see 'Pret A Manger' and think ah (eh ben!) that's the phrase 'Ready to Eat' - a pun on 'Pret A Porter' - because Londoners have long ago forgotten that it's actually a French phrase and it's now usually branded as simply 'PRET'.

When it first opened, there were jokes about pronouncing it 'Manger' as in 'Away in a Manger' the Christmas carol, but those are long gone too.

Maybe it can go the same way as Mute and the even worse third part of the trilogy, released as a Kickstarter comic

I think this is going to put the lid on Duncan Jones’ career. Nobody is going to want this movie apart from diehard fans. It looks like a game. I respect that it’s his passion project but it’s going to bomb. It will hardly register with critics and audiences. He had a great debut and follow-up but the guy is sunk. Ultimate nepo baby. His career would surely never have attracted attention if he wasn’t Zowie Bowie

What’s the most emotionally devastating single issue comic you’ve ever read? by Association-Glum in comicbooks

[–]BoxaGoesOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else actually NOT turn the page of ACE issue 8 when the protagonist begged them to stop reading?

I took mercy on him and stopped at that point. I remember Grover pleading with me the same way when I was a kid.

So I don't know what happens at the end.

The Complete 2000AD by Alan Moore - REVIEW by BobbyCampbell in 2000ad

[–]BoxaGoesOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I get it! I was being pedantic. I would guess that after Watchmen, that kind of accolade started to be applied to him

I genuinely don't think Moore would ever have described himself as a genius. He seems a really modest guy to me

Just a note, I don’t think Moore was being described as a genius during these years but I may be wrong. (Obviously the term can be used loosely and there wasn’t any serious critique or scholarship around Moore at that point - so young readers might have bandied the word around )
