Camp was a blast! It's a Christian camp, so we had a lot of salvations and\or rededication. I worked as a counselor and I was the co-animation instructor. I write the script and my friend draws it. He is an amazing artist, he is the one who drawn my avatar.

That's awesome! Comparing it to that picture you posted with the life size Deadpool statue, he captured your... how do you say? 'lopli-ness' perfectly.
So, I taught/am teaching summer school currently. It only lasts 1 month for us, so I'll be finished on Friday. I'm super excited to get back to getting my yard under control, amping up my workout routine, reading comics, and building Legos.
I actually still have that giant Lego Helicarrier I need to finish, as well as some Ultimate Fantastic Four (issues 47-57), Matt Fractions Iron Man tpb arc titled 'Long Way Down' (issues 516-520), Eric Powell's Goon tpb titled Chinatown and the Mystery of Mr.Wicker (collecting issues...I'll get back to you*). I also have a few issues of Miles Morales Spider-man comics to read. To be honest, I've become a little confused with the Ultimate verse on a few occasions. Ultimate Peter is dead, then he isn't (?), then Miles gets integrated into the 616 and at one point dates Gwen (I think), but not the Gwen from the Ultimate verse, but rather Spider-Gwen who was introduced during Spider-Verse? Hell, I don't know, a lot of that could be wrong. Point is, I'm hoping to sort a lot of it out.
*Okay, so I dunno what issues it collects because this particular arc isn't numbered the way comics are traditionally. Apparently, the story won the 2008 Eisner Award for best painter and best humor writer and artist. It even has a forward from David Fincher (the director) who still needs to get around making a Goon movie. If he did and was able to get it right, I think it would have the same impact as the first Sin City. Totally different concept and execution, but I could see it making waves and getting loads of imitators.

So, I'm reading and hearing via vlogs that Marvel will have a panel at D23 (as per usual) and then are going to do a 2 hour (or 90 minutes not including breaks) presentation to close out the day they're presenting on... !!!!!!!!
Delayed reaction, but (!!!) is exactly right. Their presentations are usually an hour long. Let's say the presentation is just 90 minutes... that's still 90 freakin minutes. I wonder what they could be doing? I've been in 2 Hall H panels for Marvel Studios (which also included the WB) and 1 panel for Sony's Spider-man (for TASM 2). To this day, they remain the craziest entertainment experiences I've ever had in my life. It took me a while to come down from those... I can only imagine.

Thing is, large studios need to give the talent they're getting a lot of freedom for these hail marys to work. And so far, they never gave that impression.

They do have a bad track record with their FF franchise, but if Deadpool and the Logan movie are anything to go off, and even the recent Apes trilogy, I still see Fox as being capable of letting the auteurs have creative freedom from time to time. They have the right ingredients, will they come up with a winning recipe, and how will the dish actually turn out once they've cooked it? Time will tell... food analogies, yes, I'm hungry.

Indeed, I did. So, Spider-man has some sea legs after all... in terms of the box office any way. www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2017/07/22/friday-box-office-apes-plunges-73-spider-man-homecoming-drops-like-spider-man-3/#49e667056ea1Shame for the Apes tho. I disagree with the statement (in the article) that the franchise peaked with Dawn. While Dawn had its qualities, I kind of see the Apes franchise as similar to Captain America's. The second and third had their merits, and an argument could be made for either one being better than the other in certain respects. The difference is, I think War for the Planet of the Apes is actually better than Civil War, and I think Dawn is better than Winter Soldier. Love all of them though.

It's hard for me to pick which of the Apes trilogy is my favorite. They're each so good in their own way, like it's one whole story. You can watch each of them on their own, but there's a kind of satisfaction when you watch them all together.

On an unrelated note, I can't believe this is the first race milestone of 2017.

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is foul language. Furthermore, you can't punish me because I'm in ninja mode --> and when I'm in ninja mode no one can see me. That's right. Merely by posting this emoji , I have been rendered invisible. EDIT: Does this mean no one can see my post? I need a sign from those of you who can see this post. Like, comment or say something nice about me in the next post, only if you can 'see' this post. I'll be waiting over here. --> EDIT of EDIT: By posting 2 of the ninja emojis, does that make me double invisible, or does it negate the first ninja?? Oh no... Okay, so if you can see this post, but it's doubly invisible, say 2 things nice about me, a-a-a-aaannnd, uhhhh... make a haiku. If I'm not invisible, don't say anything at all... Ok, go!
