British Sci-fi
Yeah, we get Dr. Who on the Sci-fi channel. I remember watching Dr. Who and another british sci-fi show called Red Dwarf as a kid (i was a strange kid). I haven't seen the whole second series yet... its getting good. So far Mick has chosen to stay in an alternate universe to fight the Cybermen which will no doubt lead to further "lovey-dovey" relationship development between rose and the Dr.
Marvel vs. DC
books of magic = harry potter for young adults (written before j.k. rowlings penned the bespecled hero of hogwarts)
I am also partial to Marvel. However, DC has got some really good stuff. I used to read this one called Books of Magic from Vertigo (dc). It was like Harry Potter on crack. If you get a chance you have got to check it out.
Comix to Movies
I never get my hopes up on Comic movies. The only one I really, really, enjoyed has been Blade. X-Men series is alright considering how much story they have to cover. I must admit they did a good job on Wolverine. Halle Barry is hot but NOT (in my oppinion) the best storm in the world. Storm is a tall powerful take charge black woman with an almost menacing presence of strength like Angela Basset in stange days. Iman looks exactly like a real life storm to me.
Iman as Ororo, African Goddess.
Ghost Rider definitely looks ultra cool, but so did Spawn. :(...
What a disappointment that was.

Well, what can I say I am a geek. Great conversation though, it made my day :D

I have to totally agree with you, about Halle berry not being a good Storm. I always thought that they will better choices and that by choosing Halle the directors defused the power, grace, and spirit that the characters Storm represents.
I thought that Angela Bassett or even Rue Paul what been a bad choice. But as the X-men are one of my favorite comic books, I forgave them and moved on. I have enjoyed all three movies.
Ru Paul as Storm LOL. Never thought of that. 1000 points for pure originality!
I love Halle, but she is simply NOT storm.
