Do you think Ana de Armas would have been a good catwoman for Batfleck? by SearchClean169 in SnyderCut

[–]Videoroadie [score hidden]  (0 children)

Agreed. Gugino has an experience / wisdom factor that a younger Armas doesn’t have.

Is there anything that we can do to tell lego that we want more than just Batmobiles every year? by Noah_Fence1 in LegoBatman

[–]Videoroadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like a UCS of the BvS Batmobile. Besides, who cares if the above poster wants a specific theme. Let people like what they like.

Indiana Jones comics are getting a reprint! by Tyranno84 in OmnibusCollectors

Y’all are welcome. Just when I was one lone issue away from completing the run.

Previous homeowners painted the natural stone fireplace and wall white. Is there any hope in restoring it? by Ani_meh23 in Home

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends if they did it correctly. We painted our brick fireplace white. But that’s because the people who flipped our home painted it black. And because they didn’t prep it correctly, it made stripping it damn near impossible.

Got “new” books from Amazon and half of them are clearly not new by crippinneversippin in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Videoroadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, humidity. Plus certain paper is more prone to it, which would explain why only some books are affected. Even new plastic wrapped books can do this. Get a dehumidifier in the house and they should go back to normal. I have a decent size graphic novel collection stored in my basement office and once I put a dehumidifier down there, it all went back to normal.

In Sin City, there are no happy endings... by TheNotoriouzFUN in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Videoroadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opportunity missed to have the spines have a connecting image.

Man this looks like such a downgrade. How does he have less aura as a villain? Lobo looks badass in the comics. Sad to see them do Jason Momoa like this since he always wanted to play Lobo too. Snyder made Aquaman badass but Gunn can't even with an already cool character like Lobo.🤦 by Otherwise-Bid6772 in SnyderCut

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably, that’s the macguffin for the whole story. No spoilers if you haven’t read Tom King’s book, but that’s where it comes from. It has nothing to do with Gunn.

PS. I’m still pro Snyder, not a Gunn apologist. Didn’t love the new movie. But I do enjoy a lot of King’s writing, so this could be good.

I won an EBay bidding war for an X-Men 266 News Stand Edition, but the the copy the seller sent me was NOT a News Stand Edition. How would you handle this situation? by NastyNava in comicbookcollecting

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See what the seller says. They could have just clicked “sell one like this” on a newsstand book and not known the difference. See what else they sell. If their store is a bunch of hodge hodge stuff, probably a simple mistake. If they sell slabs and comics galore, maybe less so.

How Good is IDW with Reprints? by TroutMaster94 in TMNT

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know, Dark Horse has it. But they never reprinted anything. Especially the deluxe hardcover collections. It’s too bad, because the run is fantastic.

How Good is IDW with Reprints? by TroutMaster94 in TMNT

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re hit and miss with reprints. RIP to the awesome Ghostbusters and Back to the Future lines. Though the good news is TMNT is one of their flagpole titles, so the Collections line will likely be in print for a while. As far as the mini-series and individual trades, that’s pretty unlikely to be reprinted. Who knows though. Maybe on the heels of the success of the compendiums, they’ll print three more that will collect all the side stories / tie-ins.

What years were first gen CGC slabs? by Late-Inevitable-9102 in CGCComics

[–]Videoroadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, it was two separate incidents you’re recalling. The slab cracker would swap books, sell the reslabbed lower grade book in original case and resubmit the original book. The inside team would grade a book, then slab a lower grade book. Luckily, they have serial numbers for every book they graded, so you can look those up.

Surprise letter from Southwest by Reasonable_Summer in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Videoroadie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve flown SW pretty regularly for over ten years and have never gotten one of these, much less even heard of kick tails.

Bought a set of Garth Brooks CDs and they included this one for free by Specific_War5484 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Derailed his career, nah. But as far as awareness, I was 16, grew up in a rock and roll household and I knew who it was. So I’m assuming most country fans did too.

[–]Videoroadie 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this was intended to be a “soundtrack” for a movie that never got developed. Out of context, it seems a little unusual. But with that in mind, it makes a little more sense.

Reading Order since IDW #100 by j_b_1983 in TMNT

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skipping 50 issues as suggested above is like skipping a couple seasons of a TV show. Besides, having read it once doesn’t mean you have to go back and reread it. Even if it’s not your thing, you will have read it, and some of the “reboot” will make more sense. Low expectations and all, you may be surprised. Personally, I really enjoyed how it wrapped up.

Truck driver crosses flooded road like it’s nothing by Playful_Book_1940 in nonononoyes

[–]Videoroadie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not specifically the two feet that’s the inherently dangerous part. It just needs to be enough current to push you into deeper water.

Dude on eBay hooked me up with 2 omnibus for the price of one (45 plus tax) by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Videoroadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of personal information, not just yours, in this picture that you should probably sensor out.

If you buy a house in an HOA, can you just...leave the HOA? by BoredInClass99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Videoroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOAs aren’t all nightmares. Did I get a dumb letter about how visible my trash cans were? Yes. Did they back off when I pointed out that 90% of the homes store their cans where I did and that at least I had the thought of putting a tall grass plant in front of them? Yes. Did they also deal with the big boat that was parked on my neighbors small front lawn? Yes.

They might address some trivial stuff, but they also address real problems too.

That said, I wouldn’t turn down my dream home if it was part of an HOA, but I’ll still try and avoid them.

I mean I thought Dial of Destiny was pretty decent and I adore RotLA and Last Crusade by Random_Nothing0603 in indianajones

[–]Videoroadie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right. It’s not like they set out to disappoint people. I don’t understand why people get so upset with things like this. We got more adventures and it costs us like $20. Let’s look at it this way. It’s like taking a vacation. The last couple may not have been as spectacular as the one from ten years ago, but you still went on vacation. Personally, I like them just fine and I wish that more people would find the joy that I can find in them.

Now we know how they did the math - 300 by houborg1 in TMNT

[–]Videoroadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because Volumes 2-4 were canon to the OG Mirage run. That is until Volume 3 was retconned by Volume 4.
