Just saw some of your videos about western movies and I gotta say that Bonanza is what got me traumatized on never seeing westerns, I always thought "this is dull, why people like westerns?" and then recently I saw Unforgiven and completely changed my mind "wow, This is the best thing ever". Now thanks to your videos I'm making a huge watchlist of all the movies you mentioned, thank you sir

Anonymous Fowler thanks!! I think most everyone has that “aha!” moment where they realize there’s far more to the genre than the generic cliches that have been ingrained in pop culture. I did the exact same thing with the horror and western genres growing up. You’re in for a real treat getting into Westerns now as there are a number of great restorations and Blu-ray releases.

I remember being quite young reading about Ultimate Evil and finding the concept...unusual

I wasn’t really aware of the subject matter before diving in. It’s very atypical for Bats and actually I’d say for the first half actually works quite well. While it’s weird to read Batman going after such real world evil it reads fine but after a point you can see that it’s essentially Batman shoved into a book trying to educate more readers about a topic usually not discussed. The final third goes globetrotting and feels like a totally different book.

Awesomely enough, that photo of Sean Connery at 15:26 is the exact same photo as my James Bond coffee mug (well one of two that is), the only difference is is that it's in black & white.

Pete 1972 the photos were another reason why I couldn’t just leave it on the store shelf. Books like that don’t really exist anymore these days. It straddles the fence between being a coffee table book and encyclopedia.

The Batman books seem pretty interesting, I’ll have to try and track one of them down. I’d be curious to see your full Star Wars library some day; any chance that might be on the horizon? The Old Republic Encyclopedia is one of my white whales, it’s nearly impossible to find in decent condition for less than $100.

Gehrig27 I’ve meant to read all the Batman novels for some time. There’s not a whole lot but you do have to track them all down. Yes I will definitely be doing the Star Wars video soon. It’s not as impressive some people’s collections but I do have most of the EU. I’m trying to finish that off as well.

Did you ever get the book on Star Trek Phase II. I've wondered if that book is worth owning.

No but I did read it from a library. It's a really great read but a lot more info about Phase II is now online as well.
