Haven't watched it yet... I did watch The Blindside yesterday. That's an awesome movie...

I attempted to watch The Incredible Hulk a few weeks ago but the disc I got from Netflix was scratched.

I haven't seen the Hulk movies but I did watch The Avengers. I didn't pay much attention though as I was at a friend's house and a guy I hadn't seen in a bit came over so we caught up. I watched Heathers last night. I hadn't seen it in years.

I also have a disc that I ripped to my computer with pdfs of every issue of Avengers from 1 to 550 or so.

I'm really tired today. Also I was really thirsty. What's up with that?

While I've enjoyed the latest string of movies, I never got into comic books. Too hopelessly impossible to successfully read decades worth of weekly issue material.

 

Same reason I never really got into Star Trek. There's just too much of it out there. I don't have the time.

Well, you just have to jump in at some point and learn as you go.  I started really early at about 10 or 12 years old, but I didn't really know much about the older history of the characters until I was graduated from college, and, uh, working at a comic book store where I could read anything I wanted.  It's daunting to do, and if you already have a hobby it's understandable that you'd stay away.

I'm in the same boat as Duke. I did read Spiderman for a bit but that was in the paper when I was finished catching up on Calvin & Hobbes. I've never owned a proper comic book but I'm sure I've thumbed through a few here and there.

I never read comics in magazines. I have, however read graphic novels. --Ocram

Spiderman was in the paper?

 

Hmm... I don't think I've ever seen it in the sentiel...

[Duke87 1,070]

I have read plenty of online comics, however. Those are more manageable.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Stan Lee wrote a Spider-Man comic strip for newspaper syndication for a long, loooooooooooong time, but there were never any proper villains.  It was actually pretty yawn-worthy, if I'm honest.

It's in the Sunday Mail down here in Australia.

It always struck me as odd as a kid that the comic strip was called "Peanuts" (what does it have to do with peanuts?) while the TV show was more logically called "The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show".

[Muck308 55]

I still love the Peanuts theme. I had it as my cellphone ringer but I just leave it on vibrate all the time now. Of course, the speaker is broken so it wouldn't matter either way.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

According to Wikipedia, Charles Schultz hated the name 'Peanuts' too.  He thought it was ridiculous and didn't relate to the characters or the story and had no dignity, which his humor had in spades.

Ah, one of those cases of the publisher wanting something different from the artist.

 

A classic example is the book Shoeless Joe. Apparently W.P. Kinsella originally wanted to call it something else, but the publisher overrode him. When it was made into the movie, Field of Dreams, the moviemakers had some concern that Kinsella would object to them changing the title - so they consulted him, only to find out he had no attachment to the title since it wasn't his, anyway.

That's a good movie

[Muck308 55]

Agreed. There are lots of great baseball movies.

[Larks2242 251]

Indeed, I enjoy baseball movies although not as much as the sport itself

The Sandlot is a favorite..

I love baseball, my favorite sport by far.

By the way, this is my 300th post. It's been a good time on the forums, all 299/300 of it all
