Things Learned at IMDb v2.0

i learned that there are other people like me in this odd way that they too will go and see the same movie twice in one day at the cinema, if they like it enough….

i also learned that cinema tickets are substantially less expensive outside of NYC

and that one guy from here that is from this "affordable cinema ticket"  state wanted to take me on a date. forgot who it was though

also learned you dont put "the" before the title of the movie "Hook". not sure why that is though since it was about a specific individual hook, not just any kind of hook and also it was not his real name. So why is it not "The Hook"?

I can tell you something I learned just now from IMDb V. 2.0: that there is a comic book series about Dejah Thoris! Since I've always loved the Barsoom novels, I felt compelled to see John Carter (despite my belief that it had a lame, timid title), and--not being a purist--I enjoyed the movie. However, seeing the covers of these new (to me, anyway) Dejah Thoris comics revives an old question, born in the long-ago days when DC briefly ran a series (in supporting position) based on the adventures of John Carter. I believe one of the artists was Murphy Anderson.

Anyway, as beautiful as I found "Murph"'s version of Dejah Thoris--though certainly more modestly attired than the recently published one --I also found it distracting that her perfectly-sculpted abdomen sported a navel...which also appears true of the newer DJ. When a reader's letter inquired as to the illogical presence of that feature--illogical because Dejah was, like all other Barsoomian humanoids, oviparous (i.e., hatched from an egg)--the letter-writer was flippantly answered by the editor "That's not a navel, it's a dimple!"

So...what do the creators of the current iteration of DJ have to say about that "dimple"? Inquiring minds want to know.

Okay, back to a more on-topic response.

What I Have Learned Here on IMDb V. 2.0

Negative: that fanboys and trolls did not vanish with the original IMDb Message Boards; that even here, even now, some posters continue to support and defend the U.S.'s current political regime.
Positive: that even an eternal techno-neo such as moi can get the hang of posting images--including moving ones!--in this sort of environment; that there can be posters just as amusing, clever, and nice as, and sometimes even more so than, those on the original IMDb.

aww, you are too kind. we should have a IMDB2 group date or something, here in NYC, and all go to the movies. I would do it. Well maybe not movies on the first group date with a bunch of strangers from the internet, there IS still a chance one/many/all of you to turn out to be a chainsaw loving freaks, so first group date should maybe be somewhere not only public but also broad daylight, but hey, third date, thats a movie (and possible death by chainsaw, but … we all gotta go somehow, right?

Oh yes, I definitely know that I will never catch up to you. I'm in awe of not only how much knowledge of comic books you've gained over the course of your 30+ years of reading them, but that you can retain this information/remember all these facts - it's pretty amazing. I used to have a real good memory way back in my days at school (though, granted, a good percentage of that memory was taken up with BtVS quotes), but now my memory seems to be getting worse every day, sadly.

And I totally know what you mean about comics that aren't for kids. One I forgot to mention in this thread that I'd read and enjoyed had some quite gruesome parts, but I enjoyed it nevertheless - primarily because it was about three animals (a dog, cat & rabbit) armoured up like living weapons and taking out a bunch of humans. Of course, there were some unpleasant parts regarding the animals, but on the whole I just enjoyed seeing them as the 'heroes' of the story and kicking major butt. It's called We3.

The dog was probably my favourite. There were several instances where he really pulled at the heartstrings.



But I also loved the cat - who was delightfully crazed.



It had some really interesting ways of setting out the panels (not just the usual squares).

the biggest douchebag on Oimdb told me proboards are for pussies. he's not here. i still win.

they will always be space for civil discourse. just in benign places like this and not in the religion corner.
