Dr. Graeme MacQueen: Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies, Professor of Religious Studies [retired], structural engineer. Hear him!

Also co-editor of 'the Journal of 9/11 Studies''

The long winter nights must just have flown by for Captain Whacko here.

Look at Steve Sampson's art now!

So he's got better at copying likenesses from photographs, except now using digital techniques.

For some reason, you are willing to believe almost anyone at all - as long as you are the one presenting them to us - but you are completely unwilling to accept any evidence we present in counter. This is a pattern that repeats itself over and over again - and has done for years. You're a delusional bullshit vampire that spreads misinformation as a hobby. Perhaps Brietbart would employ you?

Glorious, and accurate.  He's a credulous plank and vainglorious, delusional dimwit who'll happily  buy into any conspiracy theory that already matches his peculiar and increasingly not terribly pleasant views.

Captain Confirmation Bias.

What a lovely anecdote. Starts off with embittered divorcee whining and ends with needlessly insulting the professional abilities of the person who was being nice to him.

Having worked with Carlos a bunch of times and with Dan once, I can see clear resemblances between them.

In fact, I've just written a story featuring a classic Ezquerra character that was very much written with Dan in mind.

It's condo apartments, and they're a step above the average City Block housing.

And what the hell is 'connected apartment' even supposed to mean?  (And wouldn't that be conn-apt', anyway )

Grim news for any B5 fans, as Bruce Boxleitner admits he's heard nothing about any reboot.

If you're going to reboot it.......why would you need to keep Bruce Boxleitner in the frame?

Sad news for fantasy fans as Willow on Disney +PLUS is cancelled before its second season. Maybe some other channel might pick it up, but it's done at Disney.

It's a Disney property - part of the Lucasfilm portfolio - so it's not going to anyone else's streaming serviice.

Duff, flop movie spun off into duff, flop TV show. More on this surprising story, as it comes in.

Has there ever been a less successful but somehow continuing movie franchise than the Hellboy movies?

The first Del Toro movie wasn't very successful, and it took four years and a change of studio to somehow do the second one. Which was even less of a success

The Neil Marshall 2019 reboot was an all-round disaster, but here we are again with a fourth stab at an IP that's never made any money as a movie.

Maybe there's hope for Dredd yet.

Good of him to immediately make a private and confidential email public.

Wow. The frantic back-pedalling's begun even sooner than expected.

How you've added up the points:

Just counted any mention of a story as 1 point, regardless of whether the person voted it 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

How you're supposed to do it:

1st = 3 points
2nd = 2 points
3rd = 1 point.

So Babel, which 4 people voted as first choice, is the clear winner, with a minimum of 12 points.

The excitement of waiting another 3 days to see his those 9 people voted.

What's Gibbo like, putting out an autobiography with a professionally designed cover using an original piece of his own art on it, featuring iconic characters he's created or worked on?

Didn't he see how Brian Bolland was doing it?

I've always found that "bigger than Bowie!" line somewhat suspicious.  I mean, did Bowie even do any signings at that store?

And now that I know it came from arch-bullshitter Igor Goldkind....

Bowie defo did signing at the London Virgin Megastore, though can't speak to the timing. The bigger factor, if it was 1988, wouldn't that have been during his Tin Machine phase, which may explain a lot!

Arf!  I did think to myself "...but, you know, if it had been a signing for a Tin Machine album..."
