We saw it. It's official - Wonder Woman is definitely a better leader than Batman. At least, the O'Neil edited Batman. 

It is obviously not the movie that preview audiences saw. Darkseid is completely missing, Superman is never under Darkseid's control, Diana's part (as well as the Amazons' plot point) is increased, at least one of the epilogues is a different teaser, and the dark scenes that didn't need to be dark were enhanced - almost all of which could be done in the editing stage. (Robert Wise, for instance, was a master at directing his movies in the editing room.) 


Oh, and it had the proper shield on Superman's chest. Haven't seen that on the big screen since "the Quest for Peace." Now if only someone could find his red shorts for him, because he STILL looks like a frozen Kryptonian with no gonads!

I really thought Conan 2 was Roy's Conan, not Howard's, but that was a huge improvement. My biggest problem with Conan 1 was that he was a slave for so many years. Howard's Conan became Conan by being free. Such slavery would have domesticated him, and Howard's Conan would have escaped and killed his captors or die trying. I'm short on time. I'll add more later if I think of something worthwhile to say. L p.s. Love the picture. Ahnold is so tiny!

Filled with great scenes that were dragged down by nothing scenes, the movie left us feeling as if we had watched a series of still pictures.  Dino always talked about how people would feel real emotions in his versions of movies. (Most notoriously with King Kong: the Expensive Error) We never felt any emotion in the first movie, even with the Belit swipe. The closest was a

Hello fellow comic junkies! This week the book club brings one of last years brightest to the table! The VISION!

After doing some research and looking into what books these days are labeled as "good" to "better", and "best", I was recommended this series by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta called The Vision . Highly recommended from Dave at Dr. Volt's comics connection (our new sponsor Yay!), he says the book just keeps coming back up and selling.  As much as I love the classics, I think it's wise to balance our book club of what's currently considered a "great read" so we can parallel the influential origins and compare thoughts on why or why not. Our opinions on Vision may bring a bunch of facts to light as well about the character, etc. . . This story arc is 12 issues long so you'll need TPB 1 and 2 to complete the reading. To quote Chase Magnett of  Comicbook.com : " It is a story of incredible emotional depth and complexity. Its commentary on life in the suburbs, the struggles of raising a family, and what it means
