  1. So I saw "Old Boy", a Korean (I think) movie that really fucks with your head! It was reaaaal good!! I don't wanna give to much away, but basically some guy gets kidnapped and held prisoner in a room for 15 years!! Dude finds a way to escape and goes on the hunt for his captors! It's really cool cause the guys been locked up for 15 years and he gone a little... crazy!! I don't know what American movie to compare it to, but it's pretty fucked up!! It hasn't really made a buzz yet, but if you can get your hands on a copy, check it out!

  2. A small explosion today at Dogenzaka 2 chome near Shibuya station interrupted traffic shortly after 3:00 PM. Two assailants were sighted fleeing the scene in a stolen red 1957 Cadillac convertible and were pursued by several members of the Tokyo Police Department. The high-speed pursuit ended after shots were fired upon police rendering their vehicles inoperable. Police describe the assailants as a pale woman of approximately 20 years of age wearing disheveled clothes and bearing a distinctive tattoo or discoloration engulfing her right eye, and a lean male of indeterminate age wearing what appeared to be a modified rectangular helmet. Before evading police, witnesses reported seeing the two filling a trash can with assorted merchandise and food, and leaving the store without paying for it. The merchandise had a total value of $1,729. Thus far the suspects are charged with reckless driving, possession of stolen goods, resisting arrest, possession of illegal firearms, and several counts of improper lane use. Additionally, the mailbox posts of several area homes were broken between 3 p.m. June 8 and 8 a.m. June 9. Damage was estimated at $400. These suspects are considered armed and dangerous. Under no circumstances should you try to apprehend them yourself.

  3. 2 more reviews...

     

    MK Daredevil 2099 - Great fuckin book!! I did not expect that!! Too bad it's only a "one-shot"!! They need to follow that one up! I highly recommend it!!

     

    MK Punisher 2099 - Not very good! I was expecting better since I read DD 2099 first! Don't bother with it...

  4. I was just thinking... Why is Anime Hurricane called that? I mean, if we're a store that specializes in anime (Japan/China/Korea) then why do we have the name HURRICANE? Wouldn't it be Anime TYPHOON? These are the little things that are makin' us lose buisness, people!!

  5. Today I brought home a whole string of first issues I guess Marvel is trying to push! I never really liked when they do this, cause it throws alot of garbage out there and they kinda start to lose thier cred! Oh and it just fucks up continuity (yeah, I'm a fanboy)!!

     

    Jubilee - Ok, I guess... if you're 15!

     

    Rogue - I guess this one was better, but I just couldn't figure out why Gambit was blind (?)!! Maybe, I missed something in the X-Men shit...

     

    Gambit - NOT BLIND!! You might wish YOU where after reading this ish!

     

    Nightcrawler - What the hell? Are they just GIVING titles away? When's Da Cap'n #1 comin' out?! This would of been better if it would of come out around the time that X2 was released! I did like the Spidey reference though...

     

    Conan - Ok, not an X-Man (not even Marvel), but I brought this home cause a Piggy! It was ok! Not my cup of tea though...

  6. Today I brought home and read:

     

    Catwoman: When in Rome Ch.1 - by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (of Daredevil: Yellow and Spider-man: Blue) and it wasn't that bad! I might just pick up 2 and see where this one goes...

     

    Strange - Story of Doc Strange's "humble" beginings. Also promising...

     

    MK Wolverine #20 - (hasn't come out yet... thats why they call me DJ Mr Exclusive) first Mark Millar/Romita Jr issue! Goooood!! Villian reminds me a little of Morlan from Amazing Spidey...

  7. Ok, so now I'm reading a whole bunch more comics that I wouldn't normally! I was thinking, "you can't make a thread about each one"! SOOOO... I thought up a way to let everybody know whats going in a certain title that you might be interested in! COMICS JOURNAL!! I'll list some of the titles I've read and if your interested in one just ask! Oh and you can give me some too! If they're good enough, I'll (or you) make the thread!! Get it? Ok... so what I've read so far:

     

    Bite Club - Vertigo vampire/mafia story in Miami!

     

    District X - City crime story in "Mutant Town" staring Bishop!

     

    Identity Crisis - DC's heroes lose someone important (I guess)!

     

    Powers (vol. 2) - Detectives on superpowered cases!
