As a comic fan from the silver age; loved it. Wish there had been more multiversal incursion stuff.

Re: RIP David Warner -- you know him from, well, everything - 23 days ago

Quotemrbigstuff Now I've got to see Time After Time! If you've never seen it, it's a great film. Very original premise, excellent cast. I don't see it streaming free anywhere, but it's cheap to rent ($3) or to buy ($10): Just DON'T watch the trailer; this is from an era where they basically show all the big story elements in the trailer. Go into it blind if you can.

Re: UPS to Amazon Return Never Arrived - 30 days ago

Had a chat with my local UPS Store about this; first, any tracking number they give you will be useless for tracking. That number is only to confirm you physically dropped it off. The drop-off process is different from the Kohl's method. When I returned things via Kohl's, they'd check in the item and most of the time I'd have my account credited within a few hours. The UPS drop-off is far
