Half the Condo is gone!

Demolition has been going well. Here are pics 3 days in.

Pics on Flickr

Went to see Step Brothers last night and it was definitely funny. Next movie of the summer...Mummy 3 of course. It shall be terrible and I'll enjoy every moment of it. It's not a crime to have vices as long as you admit to them. Unless your vice is killing babies or something, that's not cool.

Heading on vacation soon so post will be less but I plan on trying to upload more pictures of the condo from this afternoon hoping that the rest will be gone.

Comics

I have officially bought back every single comic I lost in the fire. The last and hardest to find: New X-men #40. Now comes the real task...Cataloging, organizing, and protecting every comic I own. At least 2000 of them. Anyone wanna help? E-mail me. :)

It's coming down

Looks like a couple weeks. I got a notice from the Association.

Batman: Gotham Knights

In preparation for The Dark Knight I watched the Anime "vision" (and I use heavy quotes there) of Batman in the new DC Animated feature Batman: Gotham Knights. Since I'm lazy with all posts that I write, here is the quickest breakdown.

6 animated shorts by different anime directors each tell a different Batman story. Here is a review of each tale.

1) Interesting but mainly OK until the end when Batman just looks fat. Crappy rendition of the Dark Knight
2) Good. Not much more to say about that.
3) Gay. Batman looks very feminine and that's not a positive. The costume is also horrific. Makes Batman look like Birdman.
4) Totally twisted but awesome.
5) Bloody but boring. Not much action and the tale it tells doesn't really strike any interest.
6) Some really ridiculous action, it's short but pretty damn awesome. My personal favorite.

I should also add that Kevin Conroy did the voice of Batman which is always the right call since he is the best Batman in the history of moving pictures.

Wall-E, Hellboy 2, and The Dark Knight

Wall-E - awesome.

Hellboy 2 - better than the first and since I loved the first, awesome.

The Dark Knight - High Expectations.

Tim Burton's Batman - Not good enough.

Anime Batman - Low expectations. Watching it tonight. Doubt my distaste for modern anime will change.

Batman R.I.P. - Grant Morrison consistently gives me a headache.

Batman The Animated Series - Pure Genius.

I'm stopping now.

DVDs, Comics, and HD

I've been ever slowly buying back movies and tv shows I've lost. Most recently, Batman the animated series volumes 1 through 3 came in the mail. Batman the Animated Series is truly the only way children (or adults) should be introduced to the character. "The Batman" show that airs Saturday morning is mindless drivel with a message that says "your kid is to retarded for that old Batman, he's a stupid version". And don't get me started on their fushion of the Joker with the Creeper or the gay Riddler. (See Below)



I also now have recompleted my Angel & 24 series box sets.

As for comics, I upgraded my beginning collection of Starman by getting the new Omnibus collection (Volume 1) and it's genius. Robinson's Starman is an amazing series and I'm glad he's back writing comics.

Lastly...I GET USA HD FINALLY. Now we don't have to leave FiOS because I can finally watch RAW, Burn Notice, Monk, Psych, etc in HD! Woot! As an added bonus, we get SCIFI HD! I can watch the final half of the final season on BSG in wonderful, glorious high definition.

Expect a possible post Friday.
