My gosh you've gotten fat.

Go on, ban me.

Zappa, is your avatar from some sort of cult comic book? I can't figure!

[QUOTE=YDload]Zappa, is your avatar from some sort of cult comic book? I can't figure![/QUOTE]

It's from one of the most celebrated comics of all time, Watchmen. Watchmen was a 12-issue miniseries released by DC (!) in 1986, and it has often been called the greatest comic book of all time. I am currently reading it, and loving the sh[COLOR=White]i[/COLOR]t out of it. The character pictured is Rorschach, one hell of a badass.

It's being made into a film right now, apparently. Pre-production, anyway. I hope they don't screw it up too badly.

Tangy zizzle 01-28-2005 09:12 PM

Sin City, Dark Knight Series, 80's Wolverine > Watchmen.

The way the story is told in the comics themselves, it might as well be a movie already. I actually sort of think putting it on film would be redundant.

Does that make any sense?

pixiesfanyo 01-28-2005 09:13 PM

Sin City movie looks dope.

Preacher is my favorite comic.

Zappa 01-28-2005 09:16 PM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Sin City, Dark Knight Series, 80's Wolverine > Watchmen.[/QUOTE]

The fact that you put those 3 up, but don't mention "Batman: Year One" clearly shows that your brain is warped.

And I'm digging Watchmen more than I've dug any comic before, including the above mentioned Frank Miller favorite.

YDload 01-28-2005 09:16 PM

Tangy sounds like a Frank Miller fan.

Kind of, I suppose, but you know the majority of people are far too lazy to read it. It's not so much redundancy that I think could be a problem, though; as far as I can tell, Terry Gilliam (who's shown interest over the last 15 years or so in making Watchmen into a film, and would likely take real care in transferring it to film) has nothing to do with it, and seeing it turned into just another comic book inspired action movie would be a shame. Not to mention the detail and length of the books that the film(s) will have to cover.

Tangy zizzle 01-28-2005 09:41 PM

I am a Miller fan. Probably my favourite writer.

Rob Liefield is my favourite penciler/drawer whatever. You guys ever read/heard of a comic called [I] Fighting American[/I]?

It rocks the casbah.

pixiesfanyo 01-28-2005 09:42 PM

Preacher owns all.

/me is ignored

I've read some of those, they were solid. Ennis is a cool writer.

Luxor 01-28-2005 09:42 PM

I like Family Circus.

Tangy zizzle 01-28-2005 09:43 PM

please refer to my comment above.

pixiesfanyo 01-28-2005 09:54 PM

I just realized I like Alt/Indie because everyone is an ******* like me.

Yay.

YDload 01-28-2005 09:57 PM

The Something Awful sub-forum "Batman's Shameful Secret" has a lot of threads you can browse through without having to be a member (and paying $10). They have a huge thread on "Your favorite panel from a comic book" and it's neat.

[i]You[/i], my friend, should stop taking up valuable internet space with your foolish hob-nobbery.

I made a spam thread in A&I and I wasn't banned, kinda dissapointing.

Yes I know, complety horrid. I'm going to ban myself.

Luxor 01-28-2005 10:26 PM

A&I seems to be bumpin' tonight. All the cool kids are on.

Tangy zizzle 01-28-2005 10:51 PM

I've never been banned.

Reaganista 01-28-2005 10:53 PM

I just got back from Bright Eyes, Tilly and the Wall and some wierd techno band.

And it was awesome.

Tangy zizzle 01-28-2005 10:57 PM

K3wl.

About that comic book thread on SA: It asks people to post the funniest single panel only. Actually, the panels are only funny because they're taken out of context and rendered bizarre/hilarious:

It's about 1/5 actually. However, many ISP's in other countries are blocked from him trying to get rid of me.
