Geico doesn't do business or advertise outside the USA. Besides USians, only Canadians and maybe some Mexicans are going to understand what you're going for here.

I fucking love Wednesdays!
Can I please, maybe, perhaps have a Miracleman vs Kid Miracleman?
Or an 11th Doctor in a fez?
Or Hulk kicking the shit out of Superman?
Strontium Dog's nice.
I also like Nemesis.
Hey, what about a Corinthian?
Those Psychoville characters are pretty great.
This could easily go on, forever.
I'll gladly accept anything you choose to create, sir.
And I'll only love you all the more for it.

(Seriously: I have a very strong intuition that N=/= NP, but I'm buggered if I can express it mathematically. However, were I able to formulate a proof in prose form - and if I could prove it at all, it would be in prose - would that count?
(I'm not claiming that I can prove it; but would a few paragraphs of closely-worded prose suffice?)

The transition from page to screen will never be equalled.
It's a moving comic, and a pretty exact replica of its original visual source.
The film itself comes apart by being far too slavish in its devotion, and is guilty of some of the clunkiest musical inserts, ever.
The fact it ever got made at all, and that it came out with an 18 rating, is a feat that nobody before Zack Snyder was able to achieve.

It is utterly fantastic
as long as you switch off before the FUCKING STUPID CHANGE at the end
I don't get it, they spent a fucking fortune on the film and made even more back, why the fuckety fucking fuck did they change it

Perhaps...
...because a giant psychic squid was a bit off the mainstream (And lets be honest, the novel is fecking brilliant until the last 2 chapters when it suddenly goes a bit batshit mental (with the giant psychic squid))
Although I do think they somewhat missed the point by changing it.

Any less mainstream that a 50ft blue man with a 7ft penis?
The whole aspect of the space squid storyline was to highlight the fact that, (because it was so outrageous a plan), nobody would ever suspect it was anything less than a genuine attack by a monster from another dimension.
( ,
Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:45,

No it wasn't.
The whole point was that the entire story is a deconstruction of comic books themselves. It starts with the up-to-date (for the time) angsty story-telling, goes back through detective investigation, invincible super-powers, nuclear paranoia, and ends up with early Lovecraftian horror illustrations. The film ending makes a lot more sense, and actually gave you something to watch if you knew the book.

Yes...
...but its still fairly retarded. And I suspect that the general populace would have less trouble with a giant blue man who can control physics than a giant psychic squid.
But I do agree about the attack needing to be like it was in the novel - it changes Manhattan's departure from being voluntary to being exiled, thereby changing a positive ending into a negative one, which is something of a shame.

I think we should settle this
by asking happytoast to draw a giant psychic squid battling a 50ft blue man with a 7ft penis. Only solution.
