Ben X

Unlike, say, Peeping Tom, Psycho, Cape Fear, The Manchurian Candidate, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?, The IPCRESS File, Blow-Up, Point Blank, Rosemary's Baby, The Damned, Carnival Of Souls, Night Of The Living Dead, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Performance or The Witchfinder General?

I find referring to wives and children as shit terribly offensive.

I would potentially be available for BOTH those time-frames! Anyone else? 8-9 Sep and maybe 22-23 Sep?

I would have liked to see it reflect Miller's linework a little more, and I wonder if they'll have to soften it up much, but I'd be interested in watching that. I see Bruce Timm and Andrea Romano are involved, which are good signs.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is popular.

(=Afrodisiac) Blacksad always catches my eye but I can't shake the (probably unfair) feeling that such painterly comics often disregard the writing side of things.

Hey, why can't I delete this post?

Robocop.

We had a little comics thread going here ages ago: http://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/6395-comics/ Perhaps it could be moved or merged? (btw, I link to a good avclub article in there which specifically deals with good starter comics for a reader new to the medium.)

For those who don't know, "Al Murray" is a comedy character: a douchebaggy nationalistic pub landlord (who I think was originally closeted homosexual but that got toned back for longevity's sake). He had a sitcom based around him with the ridiculous title "Time Gentlemen Please".

(Hopefully this will get more people picking up the forums.)

Gremlins.

Personally I'd go for Boogie Nights as the first PTA film to watch, it's more fun.

Dude. DUDE.

My thoughts exactly!

Stop derailing my thread, please Twig. We get it: you think no one should ever be offended by words or abstract concepts, even though you understand it's impossible.

Only oop north!

I've had someone at work and a stranger on the bus both shout it out loudly as if it's their own personal theory, plus a Cracked article guessed at it in November and put it in the title of the article. So, yeah, if this is deffo true, I'll be rather annoyed at those three. Until your post I was hoping it might not be true and all those smug people would have to eat humble pie.

Kyle Katarn said this over and over again upon encountering enemies in one of the later Jedi Knight games: "You're joking, right?"

Option 3: a bit dull.

Two days later:

Seemed to me like Twig bowed out because he was offended by some words...
