Both McKellen's Magneto and Perlman's Hellboy are about as accurate as they come (as is Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, I have to reluctantly admit). And I have to say Michael Fassbender's Magneto is also very good, despite how troubled I am to see an Aryan from Heidelberg playing the 1st open Jew...

I am seriously ambivalent about this one. A short on Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as they will be in Age of Ultron. Voiceover is Joss Whedon, so it is accurate re the film. The part that is messing with me is Scarlet Witch- they changed her powers (no hexes or reality warping, telekinesis...

Another, different fermented black soy bean dish- goat stewed in spicy black bean sauce, cabbage and peppers.

I think Eisenberg will be good as Lex Luthor. But I am extremely wary of Affleck as Batman. Not so much because of his acting skills as because of how good Christian Bale was. Very hard act to follow, especially for a dude who has not shown acting chops of a comparable level. I also have...

First shot of Ryan Reynolds in full Deadpool costume! Note the pouches. Pretty much as accurate to the comic costume as you can get.

Marvel Unlimited Update: As of today, they have FINALLY put the Joe Kelly Deadpool in Marvel Unlimited- seems to be all but issues 0 and -1. Starts with Deadpool #1 (1997). Though he had been around since 1991, this is Deadpool's first ongoing series and the run that made him the Deadpool the...

Except where noted, at last check all of the below is on Marvel Unlimited If you haven't read it already, in the 80s I'd start with the original Wolverine four issue mini series from 1982, written by Chris Claremont, art by Frank Miller. That's the one they messed up in the most recent...

@EveryDayAmnesiac - I think I have mentioned it before- there are two options for really good deals on unlimited reading of some digital comics collections. Marvel Unlimited is $9.99/month and allows reading of thousands of back issues of Marvel, including X-men, Fantastic Four, Thor, Hulk and...

They did some beautiful work in the 70s and 80s, especially Kirby, Moore and Miller. Just cost a lot to get access to. It

@EveryDayAmnesiac I'd actually like to read the DC back catalog, especially Crisis, some of the Green Arrow-Green Lantern and The Flash of my childhood, some vintage Batman. But until DC creates a subscription service like Marvel Unlimited, it ain't gonna happen. Not gonna spend the money...

Chicken and roasted eggplant in spicy black bean sauce- roasted Chinese eggplant, stir-fried chicken breast, beef demi, fermented black bean, Chinese chives, garlic, fresh horseradish, sriracha And I now also have sauerkraut a-krauting. Should be ready when the corned beef is ready.

It is less peatty than many other Island scotches, like Laphroaig. But it is peatier (and more seaweedy) than most highlands and lowlands. The older Taliskers have kind of ruined me for other scotch. Can't drink Laproaig, Lagavulin, or Balvenie anymore. Though I do still like the Glenlivet...

Two interesting bits of news, both in some way Deadpool related. First, according to Ryan Reynolds, there is still a chance the Deadpool movie could be R instead of PG-13. And in the same article, news that the Deadpool writer whose work the script is based on, Joe Kelly, has another project...

If the other options don't work I'll give this a try. Though personally I tend to shy away from herbal medicines, as I am allergic to just about all of them (even echinacea and chamomile), I am certainly willing to try them with my pets. On a different topic, any recommendations on getting an...

New project- my first homemade mustard. Very simple French country mustard- brown and yellow mustard seeds, white burgundy, cider vinegar, salt. Also have had pickles pickling for a week- will post pics when they hit full sour. Spices include black pepper, yellow mustard seed, garlic...

I've been seriously thinking of cooking his food myself. I just need to do the research to make sure it's nutritionally complete. Thanks for the link. The chef in me has some issues with raw meat - I have had it drilled into me so deeply to treat it as nearly a biohazard unless it is at least...

Last time I was having dog problems I got some really, really helpful advice here. So I'm back hoping for more good info. Last time, my puppy Cyrus (now 16 months old) was having housebreaking issues. That was resolved some time ago. Now he is ill, and has pooped his crate and my apartment...

Just got a bottle of Talisker 18. One of the best there is IMO.

Good to know. I have flown from BWI to Denver twice in the past 6 months and did not take any gear with me either time due to paranoia (could lose my job if any legal issues occur). Used a friend's gear when I got there. May try bringing a Solo or Air or PnP next time.

No idea how I missed that this exists- Jack Kirby documentary on youtube- And in the news- it's official, TJ Miller is playing Weasel in Deadpool, according to the actor's own tweets. Which means they are sticking with the Joe Kelly-era based script, which also means Morena Bacarin is...
