Yes, I Know What Arguing On The Internet Is Like
► There's a thread on the "geeky" board of a social network site I'm on that I've been following. The subject of the thread is Marvel Vs DC, specifically asking for dream character match ups (one I suggested was Big Barda vs Thundra).
As always with these sort of threads, there's bound to be people getting their hackles up and getting insulting. One such guy started mass insulting and dismissing DC Comics' characters and stories, claiming they had no good strong female characters, just chicks with big breasts, unlike Marvel which has great female characters like X-23 (apparently being a clone of Wolverine is proof positive of her unquestionable awesomeness). I pointed out how the guy was wrong, and did so fairly calmly and constructively as far as I can tell, finally ending by saying he obviously just hates DC and that I was done with it.
He's since been private messaging me claiming his love for DC, the proof being his love of Batman (which I don't dispute). Yet he's not winning his case to me, because he keeps insulting DC. His latest bon mot:'but face fact nobody likes goodie two shoes Superman and his wholesome me and I have all this power and I'm so fucking naturally gifted.'
Stuff like that is not how you win over a big Superman fan. Although it has made me laugh. The stuff he's saying to me (and I keep getting more private messages)... either I'm being trolled, or some people are just nuts.
The thread message that started it all:'DC has some nice women with huge titties but lack in lead roles and Power. Take a look at Rogue a fucking powerhouse, X-23 a female clone of wolverine,Hope t=who has the power of Phoenix, Storm, She Hulk, ok I will admit Jubllation lee is a fucking joke. but to me DC's top girl is Power girl.
Raven and Starfire for Dc are cool and cute but Donna troy looks hot but meh a little weak.
don't get me wrong i like both marvel and DC but Dc is lacking in story and seems to be more of a sausage fest meaning lacking in the chickey department. oh yeah i would fuck the shit out of Harley Quinn but she is a bad girl that's a whole diff subject DC baddies VS marvel.'
Yeah, I don't get it either, Di.
► John Roberts Snaps At Kiran Chetry Live On-Air: 'Would You Mind Not Doing That While I'm Talking?' - "Snaps"? "Testy"? He couldn't be more polite. Roberts is Canadian after all.
► Dragon*Con 2010: Tally as Pepper Pott's Rescue - I love how detailed and sculpted the breasts are on the armor. Loving attention to detail.
► Is Julie Newmar ( Catwoman 1966 TV Show ) Still Sexy at 70? - Apparently the answer is a definite Bat-yes.
► Exclusive: Voltron is getting ready to form! A first look at art from the new film! - While I did watch the cartoon as a kid, I wasn't really a big Voltron fan. In fact, I've long since forgotten everything about the show besides it being about 5 teenagers with colour coded lion robots that form a bigger robot. And there was a sword, right? Most of the Japanese cartoons that aired when I was a kid didn't leave any lasting impression.* That said, the concept art for the Voltron movie looks very cool. Very cool indeed.
* The lone exception being the cartoon Tranzor Z (Mazinger Z) and the giant female robot who's breasts were literally missiles. No way I could forget that.
► Sacha Baron Cohen As Freddie Mercury? He'll play him in a new Queen biopic - I have no idea what I think of this. Although I'm trying to keep my knee down.
