Pirates vs Superman
posted by Tekzel on July 10 2006, 8:02 am
Kind of funny too, the critics were HARSH on Pirates, they seemed to like Superman a lot more (based on rottentomatoes). I enjoyed Pirates, but liked Superman a lot more too. I saw Superman 3 times in the theater and will be buying the DVD, Pirates is a one timer for me, and may or may not buy the DVD. Ah well, guess I am wierd.

Interesting title for a comic book.

We should have a review of Pirates up later tonight or early tomorrow.

my dupes!

By the way, regarding the dupes above, when I post a comment I get no feedback regarding the success of the post and it also doesn't show up immediately, leading me to believe (both times above) that something ate my post, after the second one I just gave up. Didn't even realize it went through. Same thing happened on the 4400 comments, now I see that what I posted probably will have gone through on there too.
