Welcome to......
Kill This Thread LVIII
The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

It's like drafts. They affect everything. https://www.reddit.com/r/skeptic/comments/1csstle/draft_myth/I'm originally from the Balkans and so many people there are scared to open two windows in their homes, particularly if they're on the opposite side of it. They believe that drafts in a home can give the occupants health problems like colds/flus, muscle stiffness, headaches, fatigue, or worse. My own mother told me she knew of a case of a woman who became facially disfigured as a result of it. When I questioned it (and the supposed harmful effects of drafts in general) she refused to rethink it or debate it. This was way back when I was still in my early teens or so and I've mostly given up on trying to convince my family otherwise.

Such rumours result in empty properties facing those winds. Those countries conscript people to live there and face them. The draft draft.

From his wiki entry:-
Archie Goodwin's first prose story was published by Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, which warned him he could not use Archie Goodwin as a pen name because it was a Rex Stout character in the Nero Wolfe books. According to Goodwin's wife Anne T. Murphy, the magazine's editors "then were so delighted when he wrote back to say that it was his real name that they used the anecdote as the introduction to the story, which ran in the July 1962 issue."[11] (It was actually the July 1964 issue.)

I like Beetle better than Booster. Unfortunately, DC editorial has always seemed to feel the opposite.

I prefer Beetle as well, though Booster's solo series (after infinite Crisis) did elevate him in my eyes

Wein's Beetle reran a number of older plotlines, with a good premise. At series end they felt there wasn't the appetite to have a '60s hero again. However, some of the subplots went on for ages. Also, the series was supposed to continue/ relaunch in a different format. Ted's JLI success and some other decisions stopped that.
I liked the idea of a corporate hero. Someone who approaches it differently. Jurgens had him use his powers differently in those early issues too. There was a lot that could have been done with him.

But that makes even more sense when I think that was during the period when he had to consume enormous amounts of calories to replace what he burnt up running, so cash was a real issue. (He was rich briefly after winning the lottery but I don't think that lasted long. Can't remember.)

(He was rich briefly after winning the lottery but I don't think that lasted long. Can't remember.) I reread the first issue, not long ago. The appearance of Vandal Savage still packs an emotional punch. It's a very strong set up issue. Being the Flash is a job. He negotiates health care as payment for transferring organs across country. Those early issues touched on some interesting topics. West has just turned 20. He's having to earn a living, and he's figuring out adult relationships, making mistakes along the way. The reduced speed was nicely done. But I think people were so used to silver age super speed, that it worked against the character, as it went on. Joining the JLA was hinted at in the trade press early on, in its second year. It took to just about the end of it before that fell into place through the JLE formation and Invasion! We were talking about Invasion! as a deliberate tie in for Starman, known about when that series launched. It was good to see the titles given lots of time to work organically for stories as well as sales boosting crossovers.

I was recenlty reading Vandal Savage's first Silver Age appearance. One of the cool bits of that story is that he uses a bunch of weapons that he had gotten from fellow ISW members, which are weapons (such as devices to make things heavy and light, and a hypnosis machine) that were actually used by those villains in the ISW story in All-Star #37. Just a neat bit of continuity.

I generally prefer artists whose lines flow smoothly. I'm not crazy about choppy line work, with a few notable exceptions.

No offense, Ibby, but while I usually believe in separating the art from the artist, I just can't do it with Harry Potter, because JK Rowling is an evil transphobic b____.

Yes, we did. I don't think Morrison wishes actual harm on trans people, but the way Morrison portays them is too often problematic to give it a pass.

Written by Abnett and Lanning, the crossover will feature the multiple destructions of Earth and other planets in the Sol system, resulting in Mary reforming the planets and becoming the literal Mother Earth, making the Space Marines dance to "Marchin' Time".

But Giffen/Mahlstedt was a ong my Legion favs! Exactly. We never agree on anything Legion. Seriously, though, Mahlstedt made GDS look like a preschoolers' coloring book. Lots of wispy details, but no feeling whatsoever of depth or weight. He did improve slightly after that, but not enough for my taste.

Now that its in my head, I started thinking of the concept of John Williams' "Duel of the Fates" being "Dread inside the head" and the vocals being sanskrit or something like that. So now I'm thinking about Breakfast at Tiffany's in Sanskrit. Welcome to my weird brain...

His recent albums have been consistently solid, though also a bit formulaic.
He's also fantatic live. I've seen him twice in the past thtee years.

I rarely get to see concerts anymore LOL I've actually gone to very few concerts and listened to relatively few live recordings. The "studio sound" and all the possibilities therein -- that's totally my thing.

I had tickets to see Hackett in early 2020, right when the pandemic hit. Fortunately, the show was cancelled before I had to make the decision whether to chance going or not. When I got to see the rescheduled show in late 2021, it ended up being entirely Genesis material, which, in turn, turned out to be exactly the sort of cathartic experience I needed after all of the stress of that period. Really one of the best concerts I've been to.

The "studio sound" and all the possibilities therein -- that's totally my thing. I used to live in walking distance (well, a mile+ walk) of Merriweather Post Pavilion so I would see at least two concerts a year based on my schedule (and the venue's of course). Now it's at least an hour drive one way to see anything that I'd want to see. (Technically, Dogstar did come to a town 30-40 minutes away earlier this year)

Funnily enough, when I went to the Gilmour concert a week ago, Guy Pratt (the band's bassist) came out before the show asking everyone to PLEASE not use their phone flashlights/flashes. He didn't say "don't take pictures" (I did take a few!) but just that the light was bothersome.
Anyway, the performance and light show was so good, recording anything would have made people miss out...

lots of places (e.g., museums, art galleries) allow photography, but only without flash

I wonder if the Flash museum prohibits flash photography.

Ok so hear me out - if you get flashed by someone and take a flash picture, that would cancel out right? But NOT if it happens in the Flash museum.

I get peeved by people who object to calling a standard 32-page comic book a "floppy."
