Disney is going to own Marvel!?!?!

While I don't think we are in for The Hulk Versus Donald Duck, I think this is a sad day for comic fans.  Disney would be foolish to try to reinvent what Marvel has done, but I worry much of the creativity will be replaced with movie plot think tanks that will make every Marvel movie feel like National Treasure-style crap.

 

What does everyone else think?

a TRULY TRULY sad day (sort of)

I have actually gotten rid of most of my games.  They were taking up too much time and causing me too much mental stress.  That  sounds funny when you talk about games giving you stress, but it was the case. 

I would spend time looking to buy/sell/trade games and get good deals.  Then I would want to play the spoils of my victories.  I realized once again that every time I bring a game or a console into the house, my free time was being subtracted.  It wasn't like in college where I had all the free time in the world anymore!

A Sad Day....

I'm going to get rid of all my rhyhm games.

I recently was blessed with being able to get a HDTV.  I had a 36" SDTV before that and had no lag what so ever.  Now, I cannot even play the game.  I have watched videos on how to calibrate it, but the problem is that, especially with Rock Band, if you calibrate guitar, it doesn't work with every instrument.  So my wife either has to deal with lag and not be able to play or I have to deal with it and it makes the game not enjoyable.

The Spirit is the most horrible movie I've ever seen

With the exception of looking at Eva Mendes, I couldn't make it through 20 minutes of this gawd awful movie.  Imagine Sin City written by 3rd graders.  SLJ is great, but even he couldn't save this pile of crap.  I'm a movie fan and I like good and bad movies (for example, I loved Ultraviolet).  But this is a steaming pile of burning diapers.  Horrible!

Family...

The economy sucks.

I'm in sales and I sell office technology. People are just holding off right now and not doing anything. Money has been a little tight.

However, I am having the best time of my life. I have a beautiful wife and a beautiful 2 year old baby girl. We just enjoy spending time together.
