Maturity, bitches.
I admit I collect Beano annuals (they go for so cheap after Christmas I might as well) but the stories themselves seem very much focused of a younger audience. In fact I'd say they are more aimed at children now than the older issues that could easily be enjoyed by older readers.

Just because they're aimed at children doesn't mean children are the main audience. It's the MLP effect.

Holy fucking shit guys, today is perhaps one of the most stressful and disheartening days I've ever had, death by a million papercuts. It feels like one day long panic attack. Somebody please tell me it'll be ok? (I'll let you know if it's not)

Have a hug, it will all be alright in the end!
If it helps I had one of those yesterday, just make sure you've got some booze waiting for you when you get home.

In many ways, I really wish my GAF account had taken longer to activate than two days. I should really return to revising for my exams, but everything is so shiny.

I finally caved in and made an offer for one apartment...

I hope the landlord will accept it

What's it like?

EDIT: ohgod im terrified now. the "junior member" makes me feel so vulnerable
 
It's pretty easy to get through Juniorship. Just don't accuse huge swathes of the membership to be pedophiles because of an unconventional choice of television shows.

We keep our pedo accusations to celebrities of the 70s and 80s.

Nah man, wear your junior jacket with pride.

All these fools in here wish they had one!

Just don't call people horrendous names with awful implications and you should be fine.

just watched the avengers for the first time. really solid action flick. really deserved its victory over the dark knight rises, which is basicallyy poop in comparison.

are you ever going to lose the junior title or you stuck forever
Well as far as I know, I'm not perma-juniored. I'm just going to do six months time like a man, and then request parole. That'll be the start of September by my calculations.

It's pointless pestering mods to be unjuniored, it's frowned upon. Plus, I kind of had it coming, I should just do my time without whinging. I think 6 months is a fair amount of time to request a promotion. Well, hopefully!

The dark knight series are the only superhero movies that are proper worthwhile movies and not kiddy cash ins.

Learn your movies chinner.

No, he's right. I like TDKR but it's so far up its own arse and it gets no benefit from it. It actively suffers for how grandiose it thinks its "madman with a bomb!!!1" plot should be. Avengers, meanwhile, revels in its roots, and is rewarded in spades for it.

There's a reason people take the piss out of the Nolan Batman movies.

Is the script any good Chinner? I usually like Whedons witty repartee. A superhero movie seems like a good fit for him.

TDKR has the awesome villain voice penetrating our ears. The avengers is something that a kid would watch.

I don't watch kids movies.

DC > ALL

Avengers is fucking god-tier, I can't believe how many people haven't seen it. Great snappy dialogue, totally gets the characters and has THE most impressive superhero action scene from anything ever. I've seen it twice and my eyes watered both times, it were beautiful.

Yes DC with hits like Green Lantern and Superman Returns.
the new superman looks like it could be pretty good

True.

I will shut up now.

Nothing funnier than someone so scared of being perceived as a child.

I just prefer movies that are for an older audience. On netflix i don't watch anything less than an 18 as i like a bit of tits and fanny in the movies i watch.

Avengers was first comic book that treated it as a comic book not a film trying be super realistic and serious. Why reason like X-men First Class had the balls to have the comic costumes no matter how stupid they look

Aww that's a shame, I liked that dude too. Remember people, just because someone has a questionable taste in animated entertainment, does NOT mean they want to have intercourse with children.

The more you know.
A word to the wise right there.

Yeah, I always thought it looked rather gorgeous. I just have little frame of reference with comics and such, but I quite enjoyed Raimi's Spidey movies. I'll check it out.

This is why I have such a great deal of respect for Mr Tashbrooke, he's totally comfortable with it. What a guy.

Love you buddy, never change!

A bit of T&A doesn't make a movie good, dude. I mean, they can help make a bad movie watchable, I guess. But that's it.

The only concession I will make is that The Avengers would probably be a little better if ScarJo got naked

Badman is the only comic movie that is serous. The rest are treated like comic book trash.

I prefer a bad movie with a bit of tits and fanny to a porno. In general i just like the over the top chaos in an 80s 18 rated movie

You think Marvel films will ever do a decent Punisher film?

Never saw the second one but the first one with Travolta was hammy.

Avengers benefited in a big way from Joss Whedon, a guy who knows how to pull off human banter in OTT situations. They also nailed the Hulk so well.

The first Punisher with Thomas Jane is great, Punisher, DareDevil Directors Cut and Blade are forgotten great comic films

wesley snipes is a woman beater, Buying blade is supporting abuse.

Fuck that shit I'm out.

Going on COD

Don't know whether to bother with a company phone (iPhone 5 or S3) or not
Most people will say do it as its a free phone but I never use mine. Everyone knows my private number anyway and I feel like a drug dealer when I walk around with 2 phones.

I have a Nexus 4 off contract with giffgaff so I don't really want to replace that for my main phone.
I guess I'll wait till after I've started. They say you access your company email through a 3rd party app but I can't tell if it has to be on the business phone or not
