Hey Aberzombie,
If you have Amazon's Kindle Unlimited, you can read all of the Astro City comic books for "free". I have enjoyed the series.
Also, Knights of the Old Republic I and II now work on the XBOX One. Just letting you know.

Last night I went to the meeting of another of our scout pack's dens. This was the Webelos. Myself and another of the pack's STEM NOVA councilors were doing a follow-up to a NOVA activity that had been started at our previous pack meeting.
It was fun. I gave an off-the-cuff presentation of the history of the American Space program. Dredged from the darkest recesses of my memory.

IN other news, I read the Chinese are planning to build a base on the Moon. This is awesome. At least one country on this planet is taking space exploration seriously.
With any luck, they'll be the first to make contact with intelligent alien life, then try to kill that life, thus starting an interstellar war that wipes out humanity.

A black cat crossed my path yesterday morning.
Then one of my hardcore characters in Diabo III died, followed quickly by his two replacements.
Then I brought my car in for its state inspection, only to find out the two rear tires will not pass inspection. So....hello new tires, good bye money.
Stoopid black cat.
Saw John Wick: Chapter 3 yesterday. Good flick. The story wasn't as good as the first two, but the action sequences and performances were top notch.
I look forward to Chapter 4.
Agreed, but I liked it more than 1, less than 2.
A-zombie,
I wouldn't know about patricarchy so much as I think that Zach can do villainy well as he does Vulcan.
The boy is a big fan of old Japanese Godzilla movies. He's upstairs watching Godzilla Raids Again (from 1955), and asked me if there was any color back then.
I asked my mom that same question when I was a kid and wondering why all the old shows and photos were in black-and-white.

Happy Father's Day to me. Got some beer from the wife. Each kid gave me a t-shirt and bluray. So now I have a Venom shirt, as well as one of Deadpool riding a unicorn-cat. Movie-wise I'm now the owner of Venom and Captain Marvel.
I hadn't planned on buying either movie. Venom was decent, and at least funny. Captain Marvel is probably the second worst MCU film. Only Iron Man 3 is worse. However, since they were gifts from the small humans, I must at least pretend to be happy with both.
What???? No way. This film is WAY better than Thor Dark World. And you know I love Thor. :P

I'll have to disagree with you. So will my wife, who knows about as much about comics as a rock.
I have several issues with the movie, most of them small. My big problem was Marvel herself. Either she was poorly written, or poorly acted, but I found her to be unlikable. I suspect it was a little bit of both.
....I think I just had the migraine from hell reading that because honestly while it wasn't the best acted Marvel Movie (I'll agree there) I felt they did a more than decent job on Carol Danvers. ESPECIALLY when you remove the whole "Rogue sucked my life" part out of it. That and Scarlet Centurion too.

That reminds me of one summer I worked in the maintenance department at a New Orleans hotel. This was about 26 or so years ago.
The Orpheum theater was right across the street, and one weekend it hosted a body building competition. All the contestants stayed at the hotel. Apparently, body builders eat A LOT of tuna. We had entire floors smelling like it.
Still gives me the shivering willies, just thinking about it.
Thankfully, I have almost no sense of taste or smell, so my wife can eat or cook whatever she wants.
All I know is when I read some of what A-Zombie likes...it's alright. It's when he hates something...that's when I lose it a little..
I'm not sure I'd want to live in a world where Aberzombie likes everything.
