But, yeah, the first movie really is in a class by itself.  If only Disney could've left it alone.  It would've been a classic of cinema instead of first in a bloated franchise...

But bloated franchises are where the <cough*Ex-Patriots*cough> money is!

I hope and pray I can reach the point of having a bloated, cash-cow franchise.  :D

Speaking of which, I should get off the internet and get back to this second draft...

Quote from: J.L. Comeau, The Tomb of Dark Delights
Mr. Clines has crafted a grand pastiche of pop culture touchstones, superheroes and zombies! Richly detailed, filled with dark humor and masterfully wrought, Mr. Clines' exciting tale of besieged superheroes rings true throughout.

Ms.  (Mrs ?)  Comeau loves cross-genre stuff, so I wrote and recommended The Eerie Adventures of the Lycanthrope Robinson Crusoe to her as well.

Yep, it's the phonetic German spelling. Except in your informal context, Peter, it should be in lowercase, so there  :P
