One thing that occurred to me is that, given that the biggest presentations will now be evening shows at the arena, that opens up things quite a bit during the day in terms of programming. And--- that one hall at the convention center, which holds thousands of people, could conceivably now be free t...

Another issue was that the buying process was so glitchy. Some folks got to the front of the line, and were booted out again, starting over with a long wait - many never getting back in before sales closed for the day (tickets were only sold for, what, 3.5 hours? - good thing I didn't wait until ton...

I got my 3-day D23 tickets today. Whew. It wasn't easy. And I'm a little bummed that I couldn't secure tickets for the Honda Center evening presentations (e.g. film previews, Disney Legends), especially after getting my wife excited at the possibility of attending. I had hoped that the larger venue ...

Yes, Jack Kirby adapted the movie 2001 for Marvel in an oversized tabloid edition (I have it, and it's pretty cool), then he followed up with a ten-issue comic book series (which I'd like to track down). Machine Man was intro'd in that series. https://www.comics.org/series/2342/covers/ With just the...

Being so on brand makes me feel less guilty.

This was my planned splurge for the spring, so I did a big order, too. It was actually 18 titles for me, which was about half my wish list. That got me Cats and Purr-Ee (Rover will have to wait), and a couple each for Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Errol Flynn, and Lucille Ball; and Fritz Lang's wester...

Dang. I must have not hit "Submit" when I shared the announcement news yesterday. https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=34218 Yeah, good news on Zombie Island. I'm just as happy about the Karloff Fu Manchu. Plus, two early ones from Coppola, and classic Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn. Pretty strong month...

Too bad. The trailer looked promising.

I still haven't seen Afterlife yet. Can't muster the enthusiasm. One YouTuber I watched last night (Jeremy Jahns) said the sequel should have been called Afterthought.

Gotta admit, that was clever.

Grabbed a Luca cap to go with my Soul cap. Maybe my son and I can wear them at D23.

Yes, the "Disney" part has lost all meaning, but it's still a neat group of people and makes for a nice tribute nonetheless.

This year's event will be held during my birthday weekend in August. I'm planning to go, as part of a larger California trip, and my son will likely come along for some of it this time (while my wife waits patiently in the hotel room). This time, we'll for sure also hit the parks before and after. I...

Could be awesome. We shall see. I was a big fan of the comics in the 80s.

Right. Canadian DMI shows no exclusives from DMC.

DMI just brought in a bunch of 4K and BD releases - bilingual cover versions, of course.
