It was aluminum powder. All the structural stuff was coated with various super-flammable laquers. And at least some people knew how very dangerous the aluminum powder was and how flammable the craft as a whole was. One of the engineers sent a note (basically a "memo") to the higher-ups, who didn't bother to act on the fact that they were building a hydrogen bag with tinder.
Hey man, like you said. Read and examine. I didn't say Fathom has shallow writing, I was asking if it did, because a lot of artist-as-writer projects do. If it fares well against that list, then maybe I'll have to have a look.
Too bad this wasn't combined with the question about "brochure" sites. What's the point of setting up a site that's little more than the mass-audience handouts/ads when the viewers/readers are people who specifically came looking for info?
The expanding balloon may not cut it for plunge, but I'll try to explain it for others (course I could blow this completely, but someone will point out my ignorance in that case, so...)
Imagine a balloon, or a globe if you prefer. Never mind expansion at all. Consider the surface only, not the interior. Now, where is the center of the surface? There isn't one in two-dimensions. The center of the globe is inside of it, not on the surface at all. Now just add a dimension, and you understand (kinda) why we can't say where the center of the universe is in three dimensional space.
Interesting. But there's simply no way anything will be re-written at Marvel. They'd allow a What-if? type of deal (I love DC's Elseworlds. They're way more interesting than the regular stuff.) though. Supposedly the X books are going to be heading towards Future Past soon with the new writers, and the "6 months passed since last issue" thing. Of course, for your plan, Cyclops would have to be removed from Apocalypse. BTW, Cable is the son of Madeline, not Jean. Jean just remembers it because she absorbed Madeline's memories when she died. Of course, that X-Man guy accidently recreated her.
Does Fathom actually have a story & characters? I've been given the impression that it's just another Image "Let the artist write his own book" style creation. Lots of georgeous art & colours, with a cliche for a story, and an actual writer brought it to supply the dialog. (See Soul Saga for a recent example, Spawn for a classic one.)
Pryde was saccharine when she first joined, but that's cause she was about 13. She developed into a more serious character, and thanks to having Wolverine mentoring her, she became capable of doing really nasty things to people who she was pissed off at. Unfortunately their are plenty of writers who don't look carefully at the past history of the character. Jubilee (Jubilation Lee) joined about the same time. Silly Southern California mall-rat trying to pretend she wasn't scared out of her mind most of the time.
Dark and Gloomy TM _is_ the X-Men. Fighting for/with people that Hate And Fear (TM) them is what they've been doing from the begining. What's more dark & depressing than risking your life for someone, and then having them run screaming from you or trying to attack you with a bat, yelling "Die Mutie!"
Claremont's back again. Been writing FF for a couple years now, and his X-Men'll be out this month or next. You should see what Leinil Francis Yu can do with Wolverine.
Sabertooth is not Logan's father, just implied that he was to screw with Logan's already messed up memory. As someone else said, he's Graydon Creed's kid. Graydon Creed is now assumed dead, since he was turned into a pile of ash during a presidential stump speech.
Yeah, Logan's got the metal back. He hasn't had any reaction to it yet, which is strange since he sure made a lot of losing it. (I'm one of the few who thought he was better without it.)
Mystique's not Nightcrawler's sister, she's his surrogate mother, same as Rogue.
Yeah. Maybe the sequel will have a bunch of flashbacks to the two of them in the forests of northern Alberta. I wonder if the character's are going to be at all close to their proper heights... Creed's (Sabretooth) is supposed to be about a foot and half taller than Logan's 5'3" or so.
Yawn. Boring. Abstract swirlies of colour is not what I want on my Desktop. I want a picture dammit. And even if I did want swirly colours, I'd just go to skinz.org or something similar to find a wider variety. The stuff at Propaganda's all so similar...
hmmm... wonder if I'll get moderated as flamebait, or just get flamed...

Definately. Who wants all that damned bright light? Seriously, I much prefer cloudy days, because a clear sky is just hard on the eyes.
I admit that I only saw one in the theatre. Didn't know about the bad lieutenant (maybe it wasn't released in theaters as you suggest) and was rather young when Evil Dead came out so I don't know if it was released to theatres or not. I know Showgirls was in theaters though.

A Wonton is the crispy thing you get with your chinese food. (pronounced slightly differently too)
Wanton is basically the same as gratuitous (for his use anyhow). Maybe the reviewer guy can't spell gratuitous?
Hmm. I'm sure I've seen at least one movie that was rated NC-17.
Took awhile to find the list on the IMDB. There's not too many, but I've seen: The Bad Lieutenant Showgirls (yeah yeah yeah, so shun me) This must be the one that I remember noticing the rating when I saw it. The Evil Dead.
