Ruining the End of the Movie…
I work part time at a video store. Last night, not a lot of customers. We (meaning the employees) were discussing the Departed with a pair of customers. One of my co-workers states what an awesome movie the Departed is. My other co-worker makes a comment about (dramatic moment towards … Continue Reading Ruining the End of the Movie…
Would I Lie To You…
w.iOver at Ragnell’s site, she was addressing her loss of love for Dan Slott’s She-Hulk series. She raises some good points about the failings of the series. One point that I kind of agree with and kind of don’t is this: “Which means we have another fake rape accusation in … Continue Reading Would I Lie To You…
How Some Christians Review Movies
Actually…quite thoughtfully. It’s interesting that recently, the magazine Christianity Today-specifically their movie reviewing team- has come under fire from a particular director and radio talk show host for having an “Anti-Evangelical Bias”. That’s what inspired this editorial by Jeffrey Overstreet.
Cartoon Contests for Hate!
What is this world wide obsession with cartoon contests that are about hating people?! First there was that contest in Iran for holocaust/anti-semitic cartoons. Now there is this. Presented to the second contest with its stated task to demonstrate ‘the amorality and inadmissibility of the gay-culture in a normal society’ … Continue Reading Cartoon Contests for Hate!
Speaking of Dilbert…
Seriously? A live action Dilbert movie?
Dilbert the White Man’s Boondocks?
This quote from the Black Creators in Comics panel both amused and intrigued me. Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur of AllHipHop.com stated that he co-founded his website due to his love of music, hip-hop, and comics. He is currently developing a comic/cartoon titled “Ill Seed,” which he described as in the same … Continue Reading Dilbert the White Man’s Boondocks?
Start Spreadin’ the News…
Well, I did not actually attend the New York Con. Frankly, I resent all those that could afford the time off from work and had the money to go on such a trip. Mainly, because I am jealous. You know how I spent my weekend? Shoveling snow. Well, ok, I … Continue Reading Start Spreadin’ the News…
Day after the Oscars…
Congratulations, Mr. Scorcese!
Trekking On…
Baby, it’s cold outside…
So, apparently, we are looking at near two feet of snow. It’s been falling heavy and contunuously since about eleven A.M. I guess my parents picked the right time to go to Mexico.
The Mixed Bag…
I participated in Lefty Brown’s Mixed Bag CD circle this month. If you are wondering exactly what this is…a group of participants is assembled. Each person makes their own mix CD and then sends a copy to everyone else in the group. You can have a theme or just make … Continue Reading The Mixed Bag…
Sometimes I Think Having a Jury Of Your Peers…
Is absolute stupidity. Seriously, what is the problem here?! Of course, it was from California, and we all know from TV that California is loaded with crazy people. But really, does the victim being a stripper make this acceptable?!
Justice!
Apparently, Warner Bros has commissioned a script for a Justice League movie.
The Fine Art of Meteorology…
Last night on the local news the weather man mentioned that snow was possible. But when asked if we would see snow here in Minnesota the response was…”We won’t know until it’s here.” I wish my job could play it that fast and loose.
More From the New Hire for Wizard…
Okay…Heidi over at the Beat is a bit less paranoid than I. And I have been thinking…it is really unfair for me to assume this means the worst. He may approach the magazine with a different attitude from FHM(btw, FHM is closing up shop in the U.S.). Part of me … Continue Reading More From the New Hire for Wizard…
A Soundtrack to Life
My friend Lefty Brown created this Meme. Normally, I do not really participate in Meme’s, not out of a dislike, but just a lack of commitment they sometimes require. It’s not unlike my attitude towards having kids of my own. Anyways, this one was real simply. Put the iPod at … Continue Reading A Soundtrack to Life
