Ahh so the Cash cow continues to piss blood! Why not come up with something orginal again Lucas.

Mine arrived on time. I didn't read it till yesterday though, I just left it on the doormat. I was away actually but don't let the facts get in the way it sat there unread for 2 whole days.

Simon Fraser on Dante .. FTW !

Waterstones has a 'Paranormal Romance' section .. full of books with identical looking black covers with a single object, sometimes bloodstained, on them.

Is Outlaw the turning point in the Tour of Duty arc? Dredd was obviously jealous or at least struck by the preacher's autonomy, power and utter conviction to duty. Things that by his own actions Dredd has let go to a certain extent, having grown a conscience over the years.

Unlikely unless Mr Wagner suggested it.

Yay to Savage and Stront but for some reason the prospect of Red Seas just makes me go.....uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Don't know why cos I used to enjoy that strip. I think its just suffering from "not going anywhere fast and having too many breaks in between installments." Anybody else feeling this?

Yep, I felt exactly the same.

Is there a newer one? There is supposed to be a new one out this year but I think the only other version is a TV movie ?

Watch Totoro dammit. Seven Samurai is excellent, especially when you realise the age and that so many what seem like cliched shots were done first here.
I still havent seen Godfather 2 .. partly as I read the book first and found the first one boring as hell. Still not seen Close Encounters or the Good the Bad and the Ugly, nor sat through Tron properly (its been on in the background at a mates house a couple of times)

I wonder if her vagina is haunted

That's what I was wondering too. Book Depository seems to have removed the cover image and just has it out of stock. Looking at the Mongoose site it's now down for June release. I wonder if the schedule was too ambitious. Haven't been overly wowed by the first 2 but was prepared to give them the benefit, especially as some of the later ones sound fun.

Has this actually come out yet? Anyone got it?

Well if we're going to get all purist about it, nobody calls them 'Ewoks' in the movie either.  

D'you know, I've never considered that before. I guess the barrage of advertising I was subjected to as a child kind of made me take it as a given. I do have an awesome complete collection of Kenner cuddly Ewoks mind

OTOH I think the whole Ewok thing works rather well (even if it bores my kid).  While the physics of flint versus reflec armour are hard to fathom, at a story level it's through co-operation and heart that the rebels triumph (just as Luke and Vader do simultaneously), not force of arms, and that's how it should be. 

Surely if you ignore EU stuff written long after the films were in the can it was flint vs plastic which is perfectly acceptable.

Have to say I couldn't see the buzz about Guy Davis from the preview panels on the web. He didn't look all that. The story upon reading held together really well and I actually really liked it. Davis' mutants actually looked mutated rather than alien (which is a mistake I think is commonly made).
An enjoyable Meg all around. I'm getting into Tempest although I'm still a bit unsure as to who or what he is supposed to be (why he dresses like a judge). The Lost Case was fun but not as tied in to Dredd history as others have been. I've kind of lost interest in Tank Girl I'm afraid.(although I appreciate the work and know some poeple like it) One thing that kind of confused me about the recent stories I only really thought about the other day, didn't Tank Girl used to be set in a kind of post apocalyptic Austaralia? Not read the originals for years (always thought Camp Koala was the best thing in it) but these new stories all feel much more british.
