    Anybody been reading JLA vs Suicide Squad? If so, would be interested in your review. Trying to decide whether to invest in it or not.

    Apparently this is trending on the book of faces, but this video was released a year ago by Disney's YouTube channel. Yes, there's all kinds of Easter eggs in Disney/Pixar films that fans have found, but this feels more "official". This is all types of awesome.

    I found an early internet review of X-Men unlimited #4 by David R Henry. I feel that some of needs to be reposted.
    "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. When the characters themselves are complaining about the plot, you know something's wrong."

    "I am a man with a large vocabulary, even if I have trouble spelling half of it. I have a rather rich and active descriptive powers. I own four thesauruses, I have a collection of old dictionaries, and I don't shirk at creating new words if somehow the ones I have in my arsenal aren't enough. Despite being this well-prepared, I am forced to admit to an amazed,
    awe-struck defeat when presented with X-Men Unlimited #4. There aren't enough synonyms for shit to properly define the book to its true
    wretchedness."

    I bought a 4-film collection at Costco last week that has four films based on four different Disney theme park rides. So far we've watched The Tower of Terror (technically a made for TV movie - Pants) and The Haunted Mansion (Eddie Murphy - Borrow). Tonight we wrapped up Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. What I didn't know is that it is just a "kid friendly" Monty Python reunion! Eric Idle (Rat), Terry Jones (Toad, Director), John Cleese (Mr. Toad's Lawyer), and Michael Palin (The Sun), with Steve Coogan (Mole), Bernard Hill (Engine Driver - he was King Theoden in LOTR), and Stephen Fry (Judge)!

    I'm not sure how faithful it is to the source material, The Wind in the Willows, but my daughter and wife really enjoyed it. I enjoyed seeing all of these actors in a silly movie.

    Maybe next weekend we'll finish the last film, The Country Bears. It doesn't look that promising for adults, but it does have the voices of Dietrich Bader, Brad Garrett, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Christopher Walken.

    LOL! Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Legends is the only one that doesn't feel like a chore for me to watch. I love the light-hearted, breezy nature of the show. :-)

    Been seeing a lot of ads (well, a lot of the same ad) for “DC Rebirth graphic novels” lately. See them on El Rey and the NHL website (with the highlight videos) all the time. And their voiced by Kevin Conroy.

    So I've not given a weird fishing update in a while. I may have discovered my new favorite gizmo.
    I was searching owners (fishing large hook manufacturer) website for a particular hook they make for Shimano (wasn't there), and came across Treble Safety Caps (link for visual reference). They came in yesterday, and I put them on my lures. My fingers, shirts, jeans, couch, and any other surface that can get stuck is thanking me. There is no telling how many cuts I have gotten from messing with treble hooks.

    "Weird Fishing Update" should be the name of something. I don't know what, but SOMETHING.

    It sounds like the start of a joke that Johnny Carson would do.

    Well I was thinking about starting a YouTube channel "Can't Fish for $#!+" about my non-profit I've Fishing adventures. But "Weird Fishing Update" might work.
    It also might be a really good comic. Think fishing show, meets Seadevils, meets xfiles.

    The problem with getting "internet anything" is that it is a lot of work for little payout and I just don't have the need to be broke and recognizable.

    Eric, you're way off: 74lbs is the current world record. I doubt Ms. Gaga could reel a monster that size in. I doubt I could!

    Sorry, I should have specified black sea bass, which you find up and down the East Coast (and is what I'm familiar with). What you have there is a giant sea bass, which hangs out in the North Pacific.

    Sigh. If you have to explain the joke, it's no longer funny (if it even was in the first place). My bad.

    Manos: the Hands of Fate may fall out of the public domain due to the son of the director filing a trademark application.

    A GoFundMe has been set up to fight the application in court.
