My Christmas Loot: Part 6, Loot In Space.
Part 5.
Here we go...
Wonder Woman (2017)
See here.
DC's up to date until Justice League comes out on video.
Spider-Man Homecoming (2017)
See here.
And Marvel's up to date until Thor: Ragnarok comes out.
Batman:
Return Of The
Caped Crusaders (2016)
See here.
Really late on this one.
I dunno why.
Batman vs Two-Face (2017)
The last thing by Adam West.
Well....I think there's some Family Guys left, but...y'know.
Bill Shatner is Two-Face, and they draw him as his young 60's Captain Kirk self.
Two-Face is the one famous villain they didn't get to do on the old show.
And Batman and Classic Star Trek were on at the same time, and Shatner and West have had similar career paths, and places in pop culture, but they never got to team up until now.
So, a lot of dreams come true in this.
They find a clever way to sneak Lee Meriwether in as an alternate Catwoman.
AND!!
(Spoiler highlight)
They introduce Harley Quinn into the Adam West-verse!!
There's a nice Comic-Con panel in the bonuses on Adam West's life.
Burt Ward has hinted they might continue these without Adam somehow...but I dunno....
Where else could you go, but to turn West-verse Robin into Nightwing, or something?
Maybe Nightwing meets Lynda Carter Wonder Woman in the 70's?
Hmmm...THAT could work....
The Lego Batman Movie (2017)
See here.
Love it.
I see more Easter eggs every time I watch it.
Ghostbusters Ectomobile
Owner's Workshop Manual (2017)
Perfect trifecta with "Ghosts From Our Past", and "Tobin's Spirit Guide".
This is my favorite thing.
Another book I wish had come out when the original films and cartoon were still hot.
It says it's just a guide to the cars, but they loophole it that you can put all the gear in the car, so it's really the whole damned Ghostbusters technical manual.
And to keep it from being all dry and techno-babble-y, and to remind you, dammit, these films are comedies, Winston and Peter interject through funny post-it notes.
And Egon through unintentionally funny ones.
The main voice of the book is Ray.
When they get to "Answer The Call", I guess they just assume you know the universes were merged through "Ghostbusters 101".
The graphic novel of GB101 is out now, I gotta go out and get that....
And while I'm out, what the Hell, I've put it off long enough, the DVDs of "The Real Ghostbusters".
Stay tuned for those...
Aaand, the rest was clothes and candy.
THE END.

The big 2015-2017 movie recap.
Yep, no more summer, winter, summer, winter, and the years overlapping at winter, I'm finally gonna fix these, and start fresh at 2018 with Black Panther.
No time like now to finally do it.
But first...
2013-2014.
- The big summer movie recap. (2013)
- Big summer movie recap-recap (2013)
- The big summer movie recap. Part 2. (2014)
- Big summer movie recap-recap (2014)
And now....
2015
1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Star Wars, natch.
2. Mad Max: Fury Road
Gorgeous.
It feels like a Star Wars stuck on a desert planet.
3. Creed
Why don't I own this yet?
Oh, right, Starz keeps playing it.
4. Ash vs Evil Dead (season 1)
Glorious.
Only Season 2 tops it.
5. Age of Ultron
It's no Civil War, but it's pretty damned good.
6. Ant-Man
Ditto.
7. The Human Centipede 3 [Final Sequence]
My fevered mania for this series of films has cooled down, and this is where it goes.
Y'know, Billy Boss looks like a prediction of Harvey Weinstein now.
I wonder if Tom Six heard the whisper chain of rumors like Seth McFarlaine did.
8. Terminator Genisys
The James Cameron re-reboot of the timeline with Linda Hamilton back had better be good.
Yep, I'm still giving this franchise chances.
Unlike....
9. Jurassic World
I've seen the trailer for the next one, and it does nothing for me.
I'll pass.
10. Fantastic Four
They're coming back to MCU!!
Fox can't rape them anymore!!
Hooorayyyy!!!!!
11. Vendetta
Well...I guess the Soskas only had "American Mary", in them after all.
Heartbreaking.
2016
1. Rogue One
Star Wars, natch.
2. Deadpool
Good news, Deadpool will still be R when he joins the MCU.
Bad news, TJ Miller is a rapist.
D'oh!!
3. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice
I guess they made these movies for weirdos like me, and no one else, because the mainstream-ies ain't eating what DC is cooking. *Shrug*
4. Captain America: Civil War
Best Marvel movie until Infinity War comes out.
5. Dr. Strange
Can't wait to see him team up with Tony in Infinity War!!
6. Ash vs Evil Dead (season 2)
Again, glorious.
Season 3 can't fucking get here fast enough.
7. Ghostbusters: Answer The Call
Similar to HC3, my fevered mania has cooled down.
I still dig it, but I'm not insane over it anymore.
I still worship Holtzmann though.
And the comic sequels are awesome.
Wish they were movies.
Stupid Sony.
Buy them next, Disney.
8. Suicide Squad
Same as BvS.
9. X-Men: Apocalypse
Least good of the First Class trilogy, but still pretty goddamned good.
Fassbender's acting, and Quicksilver as a character still make this aces.
10. Star Trek Beyond
Quentin Tarantino is taking the reigns of this franchise now.
....huh....
11. Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders
I'm grateful Adam lived to make these.
(This, and "Batman vs Two-Face")
12. Sausage Party
Aw, fuck, is TJ Miller in this?
*Checks IMDB*
Nope!! Phew!!
All right then!!
2017
1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Fanboy tears are delicious.
Fan theories make a nice toasty furnace fire.
2. Logan
Masterpiece.
3. Wonder Woman
Game changer.
4. Thor Ragnarok
Metal band t-shirt the movie!
5. IT
See, Stephen King adaptations?
This is how you do it!
6. Spider-Man Homecoming
Can't wait to see Spidey in Infinity War!!
Can't wait for 2020 to see him meet Fantastic Four and Deadpool!!
7. Lego Batman
Best Batman movie, who knew?
8. Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol. 2
Least good MCU movie this year, still incredible.
9. Crisis On Earth X
Best Justice League, who knew?
10. Justice League
Second best Justice League, who knew?
11. Ghostbusters 101: Everyone Answers The Call.
Should have been a movie.
I repeat what I said at "Answer The Call".
12. Ghostbusters: Answer The Call: What Dreams May Come
Only one issue out so far.
I like what I see though.
13. Baby Driver
And, Kevin Spacey is a pedophile.
But, he's a villain, and he dies, so you get to enjoy that, I guess.
Ooops, spoilers.
Fuck it, pedophile rules trump spoiler rules.
14. Justice League Dark
The live-action one has its bar to jump over.
15. The Dark Tower
Good movie, terrible adaptation.
16. Atomic Blonde
It's 80's, it's killing Russians, it's Charlize Theron.
Fun shit.
Hasn't stayed with me though.
Probably won't buy it.
17. Alien Covenant
Scott acts like he's still getting sequels despite this bombing.
Does he have incriminating bestiality photos of an executive, or what?
Wouldn't shock me at this point.
Anyway, this was the biggest disappointment of the year until....
18. Inhumans
Marvel might be kicking DC's ass at the theaters, but DC ate Marvel's lunch on TV, and "Earth X", and this are why. Ho-ly shit!!
2018
Up next, Black Panther, Ready Player One, Infinity War.
See you then!

Ghostbusters comics news for 2018!
I predicted this was coming too!
They've been gradually hinting towards it in Easter eggs in the books.
Be nice if they announced it at Comic-Con instead of stupid Ninja Turtles...*sigh*
ANYHOOO!!!
Ghostbusters: Crossing over (2018)
It's going to have all the Ghostbusters teams!!!
Original movie, Answer The Call, Real, Extreme, Sanctum Of Slime, and maybe, just maybe, Filmation Ghostbusters.
If they could work in stuff from the Kenner toys, and Lego, and Playmobile, and the Nintendo game, that would make my whole existence.
But...I won't get greedy, I'll take whatever they're allowed to give me.
Comes out March 2018.
Until then, I'm still waiting on the graphic novel for "Ghostbusters 101: Everyone Answers The Call", and issue 2 of "Ghostbusters: Answer The Call: What Dreams May Come".
Stay tuned!
