Off Topic / Ill be off for a couple of weeks....
09 June, 2005, 03:30:31 AM
In a moment of self importance, I thought Id declare that Im off for a couple of weeks holiday in a sunny destination "across the pond" with a couple of mice, a dog and a duck for company.  

So until I come back as Bill or Ted said.
"Be excellent to one another"

And if you cant say anything nice, its often best not to say anything at all.  So Ill be back around the 23rd or so...

Film & TV / Seriously just one film.....
07 June, 2005, 02:28:12 AM
the previous thread got me thinking, dangerous to do I know.  But hear me out.  If you had one film that you can watch over and over again.  What is it?

Ill have a think as Im stuck on 3 at the moment.

Thought Id ask the hive, mostly because Im too busy to search through google or download.com.  Blame newfangled Blade Server and VMWare and Advanced server 2003

Problem is this, Ive copied tons of cds on to my HDD at home and my eldest child has either lost or misplaced some of them, and of course my wife is asking for some of the cds that are misplaced to listen to in her car.  Therefore I need to recreate part of my music collection from MP3 to WAV (I think) so she can listen to the CD on a normal cd player in her car.  And Id prefer a free copy too :)  

Please help me, never anger her indoors.

I laughed a lot.  But it did make me wonder what people do in their spare time or do they think every time a woman is nice to them on the phone they are fit or where they just bored and needed a poll to post.

Personally I hope its the latter...

Yours non seriously Slips

PS - Seriously I think it was better when the polls were accessible.  The seem more distant now...  just a thought

Im looking for up to 15 nominations for the Award of best character.  It can be anyone who appeared in the prog or the meg last year (2000ad progs 2003, 1322-1370 (inc) Megazine 201-213(inc) as well as the two Extreme editions published this year).

What got you thinking the most this year? Did the majesty of the http://www.2000adonline.com/index.php3?zone=fan&page=messagethread&choice=4461&skipto>monkey in a hat thread keep you chuckling, or maybe it was the monumental task of choosing your http://www.2000adonline.com/index.php3?zone=fan&page=messagethread&choice=7200&skipto>favourite Megazine cover of all time? Other threads are applicable, not just the examples I have given. Make the choice yours, as the time draws nigh. This will sort the silly from the serious.

Again Im looking for around 15 nominations, votes to be in by the 9th of January.  As usual mine and Bolt-
01 word is final.

As part of the boarders awards thats on a special page on this website, Im looking for nominations to go into the award for Why Tharg Why.  There are some stories that just don't work. It could be a case of the artist and writer disagree, or that the story is just not sufficiently Zarjazz for the squaxx. Either way, if we don't tell the green one what doesn't work, he will make us read it again, and again.  This is basically the wooden Spoon award.

Im looking for somewhere in the region of 15 nominations, voting ends Friday the 9th of january, Bolt-01 and my word is final :)

Sitting in the bar at Dreddcon, waxing lyrically (definition talking bullshit).  Myself, bart diaz, big c, pete mask replica and a couple of others were discussing US comics and Crossovers.  Occasionally these crossovers were tenuous at best, eg Green Arrow and Green Lantern, Why?  Because they have the word green in their titles.  So we got to thinking, name a crossover with some comic related character and link them......  Its crap, I know but it was the best thing we could come up with in the Pub!!!!

Sooo first up
Green Lantern in pathetic crossover with the green cross code man, foghting their way through congestiuon charges against the evil mayor, Red Ken!

Off Topic / Prog 1359
22 September, 2003, 04:22:54 PM
Latest prog is here and looks like Im the first to review.

Cover - Normally Im not a huge fan of Davis' strip work.  But his covers tend to be good and this is rather top notch.

Dredd - An old style filler Dredd that we all probably grew up loving.  It seems these days that its GRennie who produces these rather than Wagner or Grant, this is great with an expected, unexpected ending.  PJ's art compliments the tale perfectly.  In all honesty Id like him to ge a run on dredd, it seems his art is perfectly fitted to it.

Future Shocks - This was well written, good art but the twist was  a failry standard Shock!

SinDex - Pedestrian, but unoffensive.  It is probably the best thing I can say about them.

FRom Grace - Is turning into a rather good outing by Spurrier.  A father revenge job that the world suffers from, nice.  Great art as usual from Fraser

Leviathan - Fantastic.  Now where did Grace go :) ???

Good prog if I had to give it a score, in the ice cream stakes its Ben and Jerrys Phish Food....... Yummy

Prog / Prog 1343 - Review thread :)
02 June, 2003, 05:47:47 PM
Well heres a first looks like Im one of the first to read the prog or is this fall out from Board Wars???

Nice Elson cover but as someone said elsewhere is that a Teddy bear at the back???

Dredd - Brilliant.  I want Gill to hang around for a while, he seems an ideal replacemnet for Orlock.....

SinDex - Its back.  I read it.  It aint very good.  Unfortunatley.

Interceptor - Its coming to a conclusion (an almighty explosion I suspect), but well after the knickers disapeared there didnt seem to be much else.  

Lobster Random - Yeah!  Great!  Some marvelous ideas and the art suits it perfectly.

Future Shock - yada yada yada.   Its OK.  But is chris Blythe the same one that does the colours?  If so, hes a multifaceted chap isnt he?

Overall a good prog, with only sindex below average.  


Off to read the meg now.
