You better believe I was there day-one for Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000).

But genuinely, one of the best was seeing RRR in a theater on opening weekend.
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Hahaha. I always think of John Carpenter's era of "What if a face got stretched?"

Always thought the DVD cover of Blow Out was hideous. It is. But finally saw the original poster it was based on and realized how the title design, spacing, framing, and lack of color made it look great.

Never used some really great fonts like these in more than a few panels.
•CC Blah Blah Blah
•Nerves of Steel BB
•Famous Last Words BB
•Tough as Nails BB
Even some fonts that I see as universally applicable, like CC Victory Speech and CC Mesnwhile just haven't been used.

There are so many cool comic fonts that I haven't had a chance to use in anything. I try to pick something that complements the art, and ended up using the same favorites a number of times. Got some others in as narration or flashback fonts, but those contexts also influence the choices.

I love that there’s a Japanese rapper who makes me think of Heathcliff

That's one of the very best covers.

I've had that on my shelf for a while and still need to read it. Thanks for the reminder.

You SHOULD see Dragonball Evolution, it's very endearing in spite of everything. Fully agree about that Astro Boy movie though.

I need y’all to know

And they’ve called it

FEVER BEAVER

Localization is cool, actually

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly is nearly three hours long and the final stretch is so good that every time I watch it I immediately think "I want to watch that again."
