...Captain Sake, If I might offer some insight here…<br />You wrote: “Because you stimulate free speech and allowed freedom of expression outside here but only engage with that statement on your blog when and if people behave themselves, and since my comments had been approved therefore "I AM BEHAVING" so thank you for acknowledge that”<br /><br />Free speech of course, but always to a certain degree. <br />In every democracy it is this way – we have the freedom of speech and freedom of the press etc. but when those rights are misused, say by journalists of the press, who are following a princess on motorbikes causing her car to crash and her to die, things must be re-evaluated. Are those things to be allowed or not?<br />Of course, on the one hand you might say: “Surely, they are allowed, because of freedom of the press – we are entitled to do, whatever we have to do, to get this story.”<br />And they are right to some point. <br /><br />With you, there is another problem.<br />Frankly, I don’t know, why Linkara is approving your comments – I think, either he is annoyed, and hopes you are shutting the hell up, or you do have some valid reasons.<br /><br /><br />You wrote: <br />“Honestly in my opinion i don't believe you have the need to waste your time and read everything that somebody try to post in the comments section, people will get your attention when they deserved and have something that is worth it for you to reply and you barely give any reply for more than three or four posters anyway.”<br /><br />Oh, I beg to differ there. There are a lot of awkward people out there, plus spam-bots etc. So – the comment-section must be controlled.<br />Like I said, freedom of speech – to a certain degree.<br /><br />You wrote:<br />“ Stop wasting your time having the need to approve every message that comes in, it's just a suggestion anyway, spambots, stalkers, trolls and douches in general can't accomplished …”<br /><br /><br />It is not a waist of time, because its maintaining a certain order in that commentaries – an order, that is definitely necessary, and I tell you, why.<br />Because, when every troll, spambot, stalker and douche posts his oppinion, one can really easily get side-tracked, and that is problematic, if you want to maintain a straight line of comments and thoughts.CaptainCalvinCatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-38695548629618070622012-01-13T14:29:30.631-06:002012-01-13T14:29:30.631-06:00for Lewis
I think this could be a lot easier if y...for Lewis<br /><br />I think this could be a lot easier if you just allowed everything in instead of read everything and give or not give your approval for every text to be posted here. <br /><br />Honestly in my opinion i don't believe you have the need to waste your time and read everything that somebody try to post in the comments section, people will get your attention when they deserved and have something that is worth it for you to reply and you barely give any reply for more than three or four posters anyway.<br /><br />At this point i didn't expected you to approve, post and answer my comments because as usually happens, and my last comment was really provocative on that matter, i get on your nerves again.<br /><br />The same speech about knock off things, if it's annoying you why did you approved and if you approved why did you complained about it ? <br /><br />And the "Make no response to this part of the comments whatsoever" ??? <br /><br />Come on man, did you really expected i didn't tried something like a parody since you suggested i didn't try to apologize or explain my self ? The Mechakara move was a good way out on my opinion and really that review was a little bit out of character, only a toaster could really toasting a comic book about a bunch of walk-talking toasters beating the crap out of each other.<br /><br />I will not apologize because you clearly tell me to not to do but i still have the need to explain my self so please don't talk like a toaster, i only made the Reagan citation because i was really pissed off, you get on my nerves this time.<br /><br />Don't like it, don't read it, if you read and don't like it then don't approve and posted because when you complain about that later you give me a really mixed message.<br /><br />Stop wasting your time having the need to approve every message that comes in, it's just a suggestion anyway, spambots, stalkers, trolls and douches in general can't accomplished anything from really concerned readers and fans, the comments section is the bottom of the line for them because big budget internet stars have forums and paid moderators to deal with them (i never received hate mail or even comments on my own blog, can you see how non-important and nobody i am for everybody here ? i guess even the occasional poster telling me to shut up is you in disguises, go figured).<br /><br />I really hope someday your blog graduate into some sort of Spoony level site and you have a real forum with real police on it but please act as your own police officer moderator here is clear a waste of your time and talent.<br /><br />Give a try and see how the flow goes if you stop acting like a transit officer, what the worst thing that can happen ? You had the need to turn on the traffic lights again ? It's just a polite suggestion, the kind one you will probably ignored but was worth the shot.<br /><br />You could just delete everything and ignored my statements but like i said before you are a not a hack, you are not an obnoxious douche, you are a real honest man, the kind of man that will never ignored important matters without addressed them and find some closure and that makes me proud to see you becoming an mature guy, if there is any statement i must retracted about what i said is this : <br /><br />"You are a professional Sir and us the real amateurs still have a lot to learn from you despite your age at any time".<br /><br />And yet i still have a self-inflicted review to do and a few issues left to be explained for CaptainCalvinCat but that's a comment for another time later in the future.<br /><br />Let's settle this down for now and take a break... for a really big easily measured amount of time this time...again.<br /><br />End Credits Doctor Who Series 4 Soundtrack - 24 A Pressing Need to Save the World (really hard to choose, BBC National Orchestra of Wales really rocks all possible options)<br /><br />See you !Capt.

After all, we still have rules of common courtesy, appropriate behavior, ad not conducting in expression that is harmful, insulting, or demeaning. There are still rules of decorum and appropriate time and place.<br /><br />After all, by the same token, I should let spambots have their advertisements get through on the blog in the name of "free speech" and "free expression." When I say I am a proponent of these things, it means I'm not going to chastise people for holding different opinions about a subject, be it a comic I'm reviewing, a movie that I like or dislike, or just my show in general. To that effect, people may post dissenting opinions and I will let them through. And there are plenty of occasions where you can look at the blog and see those dissenting opinions.<br /><br />You yourself have recently been posting insulting remarks about me and my show and I have let them through. But let me be clear: one does not take an axe and cleave at another person's door wothout permission and then say that it's an artistic piece about bringing down the oppressive establishment. They cannot hide behind freedom of speech or freedom of expression and the same can be said here.<br /><br />You are in *MY* space, Sake. You are posting in an environment that generally disagrees with you and your posting methods, so do not be surprised when we turn right around and express ourselves in turn about how we dislike that method. And like spambots and solicitors, I will remove or disapprove of posts that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, like your posts in the pasts that are in a pseudo-fanfic style.<br /><br />There's another poster around here named Jeremy Patterson. I have no idea what's wrong with him, but in the past he has continually made spam posts trying to promote completely off-topic matters, linking to television schedules for half-baked channels or documentaries or news articles only BARELY tangentially related to matters at hand. In the last two days, he has repeated the SAME one on five separate posts. I did not approve four of them because I'm not going to let people take a crap in my space and then expect me to thank them for it.<br /><br />Now then, I have explained myself. If that's not good enough for you, then fine. But I have said my piece on more than one occasion and that should be good enough at this time.Lewis Lovhaughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724769374732321363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-77019841871055666312012-01-13T09:38:28.249-06:002012-01-13T09:38:28.249-06:00Okay, let's face it Lewis : Apparently you can...Okay, let's face it Lewis : Apparently you can't deal with free speech and freedom of expression and also you can't be a proponent of free speech and freedom of expression when you are actually applying censorship on your own blog and that practice was already clearly exposed by yourself previously.<br /><br />Defender of the faith, paragon of christian faith and arthurian legend my ass Sir, you are officially an uptight self proclaimed righteousness hypocrite pretending to be a professional critic, you are an amateur Mister just like me.<br /><br />This message will not self destruct it self unless you delete it but obnoxious douchebagery is my job, not yours. <br /><br />Your job was supposed to be inspiring people to be creative, productive, self-conscious and aware about the many evils of this world but i guess you can do that when you waste so much time reading and having to approve or not anything posted in the comments section.<br /><br />My message for you is this : <b>"MISTER LOVHAUG, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!"</b>Capt.

I've warned you about this before and I'm tired of telling you to knock it off.<br /><br />And while I am a proponent of free speech, this blog is still MY space to control as I see fit, so I'm going to tell you this right now: you have said before that you were "going on a break" from posting, yet you did nothing of the sort. I've asked you before not to make any fanfic-y posts or just rambling that has nothing to do with matters at hand... and you persisted (and as per my own statement, I deleted them instead of allowing them through).<br /><br />You have ignored my warnings in the past and I have been exemplary in my patience. And as such, no, you may not respond to this statement with an excuse or an explanation. Make no response to this part of the comments whatsoever. This is me making my position clear. I've let several of your comments through for the last few weeks because you've been behaving on most posts and keeping it strictly related to the topic at hand, even if it HAS been posts by you stating you dislike my output.<br /><br />I would remind you, however, BE RESPECTFUL or I will simply cease letting ANY of your posts through. And that goes for everybody.

Robocop versus Terminator is a cra...Addressed @All<br /><br />Robocop versus Terminator is a crap comic book from a time when Frank Miller was on the edge to became a great artist again but this time unleashed from any moral bias or consensus of stupidity.<br /><br />A time when Frank Miller write allegedly better comics was also a time when people told him and pay him to do what they want him to do instead of him doing whatever he wants and thanks God for Frank keep kicking those bastards in the nuts every time he writes something like Holy Terror because that is Miller tackling the audience instead of allowing the audience or gutless editors to tell him what to do.<br /><br />Linkara fail to do his part or even worst there is no more Linkara as an independent entity against really bad comics and i will not shake his cock everytime he chooses or not piss over comic books, the masses made a pretty good job on that as well i did sometimes when praising him about when he did an accurate review. <br /><br />That's not the case right now for Robocop versus Terminator #1, he did a sloppy job or even worst : Linkara let Lewis take the helm and therefore we have Lewis praising Miler when Frank was on a short leash. And i like my Miller unleashed and kick ass with his balls on fire.<br /><br />And now i realize there is no contradiction from my part if i need to do was has left to be done, the 1992 Miller is not the genius i learn to love and praise in the past 15 to 20 years, that's another guy more young and naive about to have his illusions and expectations crushed by the system, Hollywood in particular.<br /><br />You pansies are the real cuckoos in a nut shell and the great artist can take all of you as breakfast any day of the week because guys like you people don't realize what comic book are really meant to be, a fun wacky ride where the angels don't dare to do the first step in.<br /><br />Criticize what and when ever you want but please don't do a crappy job, praising the bad because it looks good don't make the whole thing remotely better.<br /><br />I stand in defense of Frank Miller because lynching his work is a crime, is punishment without trial and most of the time Atop of this place the trials are full of bias and thanks god for this be a fictional place for trial or else this would be the far west all over again (the real, not the fictional one).<br /><br />And that's my unfunny self, if you don't liked frakk it because i'm not going any where.<br /><br />End Credits Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of FireCapt.

Compare Sarah Michelle Gellar before Whedon and Sarah Michelle Gellar after Whedon. It's like looking at two different people. The fact that Alysson Hannigan and Michelle Trachtenberg are still good actresses is nothing short of a miracle.”<br /><br />She isn’t that BAD, either. Granted, if she would be really good, the movies and shows, where she stars, would not be cancelled after the first or second season (Firefly, T:SCC, The cape), but, he performance is very enjoyable. Or did you talk about physical attractiveness? Then, I have to say, that I think, that she is quite an attractive woman. Take her face, e.g. <br />The form of it, her eyes… There are certain characteristics, which are quite recognizable. <br /><br />And sadly, hence television is about objectification per se, that is all we need. We don`t know, how Summer Glau is in real life, I just know, that I felt pity for her in Firefly, for being a young, emotionally-unbalanced woman, and I enjoyed her, seeing kicking ass in T:SCC. <br /><br />But, I cannot say, if Summer Glau is a nice person or not. So – as a man I can talk about acting talent (which I think she has) or physical attractiveness (when talking about female actors) or if someone can radiate sympathy (which counts for both genders). <br /><br />The nostalgia chick for example. She is physical attractive, can act and radiates sympathy. <br />Obscurus Lupa, same thing, as well as Marzgurl or JesuOtaku. <br />Lewis has acting talent and seems to be very friendly.<br /><br />But – like I said, that is something we don`t know. We don`t know those people – it might be, that they are in reality … well, not nice. Who knows, but themselves? <br /><br />But, back to Summer Glau and her performance as Cameron – the fact, that you at first think, that she is really a woman, who then turns out to be a terminatrix, says lot s about her skill. <br />It is not like – let’s say – Kristanna Loken in T3, where we know from the first second on, that she is a killing-machine from the future. <br />With Cam, we learn it in the second half of the pilot-movie. <br />So, she has acting skills and is nicer to look at, than Ahnuld. ^^<br /><br />Greets<br /><br />CalCaptainCalvinCatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-31466970649410733082012-01-11T17:54:59.521-06:002012-01-11T17:54:59.521-06:00Hey, this is a very nice review.

The face you make as the dead guy is really funny.<br /><br />I also really appreciate Power Rangers and although I concentrate in Sentai more (you can see in my blogs), I really enjoy your History of Power Rangers. Perhaps the Kalish season (love the shout out to him in this review) was quite the pain for you to write, but don't worry, take your time and I await your eventual review one day, perhaps there'll be new insight.<br /><br />Go Go Linkara.

It was actually Koichi Sakamoto, who, as it happens, has worked on every season of Power Rangers since the third season of Mighty Morphin. So, that's one thing Kalish cannot be blamed for. Please make sure you mention that on your next History of Power Rangers.Jarkesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-69200595060892839272012-01-11T14:50:01.068-06:002012-01-11T14:50:01.068-06:00"This might have been said before, but I read..."This might have been said before, but I read somewhere that between making The Dark Knight Strikes Again that 9/11 happened, and that's when Miller REALLY started to lose his mind, I mean, I'm no Miller expert, but was his stuff starting to get crappy before 2001, or did it get crappy after?"<br /><br />You read that Frank was losing his mind, or that 9/11 happened during the writing of DKSA?<br /><br />Yes, September 11th happened while he was working on that book. That's why he had to explain that Batman crashing his plane into Luthor's tower had nothing to do with the event.<br /><br />Also, I hope when all of you talk about Miller "going crazy" or "losing his mind", you're just joking. If you honestly think he's fallen into insanity, I'd like to see some proof. Personally, I think his mental state is just fine, but maybe that's because I like the majority of his works (including Holy Terror).<br /><br />I'm starting to wonder whether or not you guys have read most of his other works, like Hard Boiled, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, or the Martha Washington Books. All of them are superb works, the latest issue of which was published in 2007.Severennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-83672810303545613942012-01-11T05:51:39.533-06:002012-01-11T05:51:39.533-06:00"I'd like to defend the fact that the pro..."I'd like to defend the fact that the protagonist is not named, as I think it actually works reasonably well. Since she has no real interactions with anyone who would know her name (Skynet wouldn't care), the only way we could learn her name is if it were shoehorned into a preamble or narration.<br /><br />Instead, we get this last human who has no need of a name, as there is no longer anyone else to call her it. Would it really have been a better story if at the the start it had said 'This womans name is Jane Callard'?<br /><br />The lack of the name, and the distancing from human beings could be seen as a parallel to Robocop. Their humanity has been stripped away by the machines, leaving them somewhat less than human. Just my opinion of course, maybe I'm reading more into it than was intended."<br /><br />...eeeeeeeeeeeexcept we KNOW that her name is "Flo", so all of that doesn't work.<br /><br />"But – erm – back to Summer Glau… I find her quite attractive and she is a good actress."<br /><br />She isn't THAT hot. As for being a good actress, Joss Whedon tends to suck out all the talent from his "stars". Compare Sarah Michelle Gellar before Whedon and Sarah Michelle Gellar after Whedon. It's like looking at two different people. The fact that Alysson Hannigan and Michelle Trachtenberg are still good actresses is nothing short of a miracle.<br /><br />"Am I the only one who caught the Brush Kalish shout-out? I almost feel bad for Linkara, he's probably seeing explosions in his sleep after watching so much Power Rangers."<br /><br />But you have to wonder: how much of those explosions are Bruce Kalish, and how much of them are from the original Sentai footage? You can't blame Kalish for the thing Japan does.<br /><br />Laughing Hyena:<br /><br />I agree, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was a butchering of the awesome book. And now, the sequel is set to butcher "The Mysterious Island". Why do they keep messing with the greatness that is Jules Verne!? <br /><br />"That scene with the birds actually reminds me of one of the deleted scenes from The Terminator, one which I really wish they hadn't deleted with Kyle closely looking at some flowers and finally breaking down for things he never had."<br /><br />...except this is Robocop's time, which is slave to the social commentary. As such, the tweeting birds are where the beauty ends. Robocop's time is nasty, cruel and violent.The Exiled Onenoreply@blogger.com
