I haven't been feeling well so I've been slacking on the "new and notable" section.

It was weird getting to the shop and being surprised!

Stuff I'm checking out, you do you!

Assorted Crisis Events #7 - What happens to normal people in a world continually in crisis events?

Bad Idea: Ordained #1 (Of 3) - Bad Idea does good stuff and I'm a sucker for anything physical only. A lot harder to pirate something that doesn't have a digital edition.

Batman Gotham By Gaslight A League For Justice #6 (Of 6) - Finally putting a pin in the latest Gaslight adventure! What was originally a 12 issue run got split in half.

C.O.R.T. Children Of The Round Table #4 (Of 6) - Group of kids using weapons posessed by the spirits of Arthur and the round table. It sounds unhinged when I say it that way, it is!

EC Comics:
Shiver SuspenStories 2 #1 - Love the new EC!

Ghost Machine:
Geiger #19 - TBH, I'm behind, last we saw Tariq had been captured and was being tortured?

Spider-Man And Wolverine #8 - Wait, that's still going? I thought it was a 6 issue mini? Guess not!

Spirits Of Violence #3 (Of 5) - The various Ghost Riders (spirits of vengeance) team up against the spirits of violence.

Star Wars Han Solo Hunt For The Falcon #4 - I don't typically buy media adaptations of other media, but the tone of Han and Chewie looking for the lost Falcon just prior to the events of Force Awakens has been on point.

Ultimate Black Panther #23
Ultimate Spider-Man #23
- Getting near the end of the Ultimate runs I think? One more?

2 PM showing, 15 minute intermission, back to the car just before 7 PM... that was an experience!

The changes are actually pretty minor:

1. The anime sequence that provides O-Ren's backstory is extended, showing how she got her revenge on the assassin who killed her parents, not just the boss who ordered it.

2. In the original fight with the Crazy 88, she does an eye pluck and the rest of the fight is in black and white, this cut remains in color for the full run of part 1.

3. Part One ends right after The Bride's speech to Sophie, "And I want them all to know they'll soon be as dead as O-Ren." Break for intermission. No cliffhanger.

4. Part 2 opens with the Church scene, a recap of part 1 not being necessary.

5. Added material after the end credits including a new scene set after the killing of Vernita Greene showing the end of the Pussy Wagon. Gogo's sister flies to L.A. for revenge.

That whole sequence is weird as it's, not kidding, animated in Fortnite and seems to follow Fortnite violence rules. Uma Thurman does return to do the voice of the Bride though.

Overall, it's a good flick, but I think I like the original versions better.

First, the second movie also has sequences in black and white, and because the big fight scene is now in full color, there's no precedent for the B&W footage, it just kinda comes out of nowhere.

Second, the cliffhanger at the end of part 1 is epic, it seems criminal to cut it.

Third, Fortnite? Seriously? They couldn't even be bothered to call the Pussy Wagon "Pussy Wagon", it's "😸 Wagon".

Edit The Fortnite clip is on the Fortnite YouTube channel:

Looks less and less like "worst of the worst" and has always been "brownest of the brown".

Anyone notice what these "non-professional" degrees have in common?

Nursing
Physician assistants
Physical therapists
Audiologists
Architects
Accountants
Educators
Social workers

Here's a hint, look at the two least obvious ones:

 43% of new architects are women:

And 60% of all accountants:

This is clearly a plan to minimize career paths for women.

Edit What the heck, lets check the rest of them...

92% of audiologists are women:

88.8% of nurses:

Here we go! Haven't had time to check the list yet myself, will circle back later!

Also Australia.
