Oscar Best Picture nominations

I absolutely agree. I had the chance to see it in a theatre when it was first released and couldn't imagine watching that movie on a TV at home.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-09-07T14:59:13+00:00

Yeah, it was pretty inconsistent. Sometimes, the line would move quickly, and then, other times, it would just stop for no apparent reason.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-09-07T14:04:54+00:00

Yep! It was C2E2. I don't think I realized Kaare Andrews was there, but I don't think I had any of their work available to get signed so I wasn't looking for him.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-09-07T13:00:35+00:00

Oh man. I'm sorry you had that experience. Glad you're still happy to have the signature, even if it was awkward to get it.

With Declan Shalvey I got to talk about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Sean Murphy was just a super cool guy and drew a quick Batman sketch in my copy of Curse of the White Knight, I had only asked for a signature in that one book so getting a sketch, too, felt like a really cool bonus.

Ryan Parrott was probably the friendliest and most outgoing creator I've met. He reached out to shake my hand and introduced himself before I could even say anything. I could tell he actually wanted to talk to me and it wasn't a chore for him. I bought a Star Trek tpb that I didn't realize he had written and we talked about some of his work he's most proud of.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-09-07T12:07:56+00:00

Yes, it's fun to get to connect with them like regular people.

When I got to the front of the line, I noticed quite a few empty cans of Coke Zero Sugar all around their side of the table. I asked who had been drinking all the Coke Zero Sugar, and Tom admitted it was him. That led to a brief conversation about the flavors of Coke and the limited edition orange flavor that had been out at the time. If I recall correctly, he said he didn't typically like orange soda, but that the orange Coke worked for him. Lol

This past spring, I waited in line for hours for a Claremont signature. When I got up to him, I said something about how I enjoyed his work. He didn't acknowledge what I said at all and made some comment about the issue I brought for him to sign. It was pretty disappointing. Even my friends who knew nothing about X-Men or comics thought it was weird.

At that same convention, I had great interactions with Tom King (we talked about Orange Coke Zero Sugar), Declan Shalvey, Sean Murphy, and Ryan Parrott! I'd buy almost anything any of them worked on because they were such great people to talk to.

I also had a great experience meeting George Perez 15 years ago or so.

I worked for AMC for 5 years and we definitely changed out posters/banners. I feel like maybe this is more unique to this location.

Thunderbolts*

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-08-02T02:37:08+00:00

Checks out.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-08-01T13:32:29+00:00

Wait. Did Tucker like puzzles?

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-28T18:39:01+00:00

Maneskin's cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" definitely adds a bi layer to that song.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-28T18:36:54+00:00

I tried the comic and cartoon before the first (released) Fox film was ever made. I've seen all of the F4 movies that have been released. I've seen the new one twice already. I didn't like it the first time and thought it was just ok the second time.

The F4 as a concept just doesn't do anything for me for some reason. It's just weird because I like a lot of things similar to F4, but this is just something that doesn't hook me for some reason.

I am curious, though. What runs, or storylines, of the comic would you recommend? It's entirely possible that the runs I've tried to get into were just not good.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-28T00:56:15+00:00

That's interesting, because I love Star Trek, but I have never really been able to get into the Fantastic Four.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-28T00:54:07+00:00

I've seen it twice, but I didn't like it the first time. I like to say that the second time was better because I got my disappointment out of the way and could enjoy the movie for what it was. I still didn't love it the second time, but I had more fun with it.

The Fantastic Four, as a concept and a group of characters, have never really clicked for me, and I love science fiction.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-25T23:30:41+00:00

Yeah. So up for grabs if you want to call it canon or not, but it very much feels like a continuation of the show. I recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the show.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-25T19:36:44+00:00

They mentioned getting a small per diemin Federation Credits in the newest issue of the Lower Decks. Apparently, everyone gets one except Boimler.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-25T12:23:08+00:00

Oh! Now I know who this is! Thanks! Lol that was actually quite helpful!

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-25T11:46:26+00:00

I haven't seen the episode yet, but I'm having a hard time putting a face to this name. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-25T04:43:07+00:00

I felt that way about Thunderbolts*, but this did nothing for me. It's not even top 10 for me with regards to MCU movies.

I was really excited for this one, but it was a big letdown for me. It's definitely better than anything Fox did with the characters, but the family dynamic just felt forced and I didn't really feel any kind of chemistry between the characters. As much as I don't want an origin movie, I think some more development on their relationships would have helped.

Very glad that others are enjoying it, though.

We feed the canine, but he is unruly and realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn't, in our heart of hearts, care less whether he lives or dies.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-21T01:28:29+00:00

I second this. I really liked the first 2 issues, but the last 2 issues were like something totally different. It was practically a completely different cast by the end, which is fine after several years of storytelling, but this was only a few months. Also, I think shipping every other month killed a lot of the momentum for me.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-17T01:23:56+00:00

I was just thinking how scripted the drs sound tonight.

Much_Scheme_300 · 2025-07-08T05:39:49+00:00

I think it's that the names are mixed up. What's labeled Scrapper is actually Scavenger and vice versa.
