  • Allow me to save Rutles fans some money

    I recently purchased “The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch” on DVD. Long story short: not worth the money to buy, and might not even merit a rental, even if you’re a Rutles fan like me.

  • Entire issue previewed online!

    Here’s an interesting idea. To raise the profile of a comic which could use some more orders, Image Comics has authorized Newsarama to post the entire Godland issue #1 online! And as I’m looking at it, I can’t help thinking, “Who is artist Tom Scioli’s influence in drawing this Silver Age-esque story? Who? Who? Dang…

Not really, as far as I can tell, though it’s difficult to calculate due to the changing comic book economy. (Hat tip to Walter Williams’ column on gasoline which linked to a handy inflation calculator.) A…

  • Yeah, that’s me.

    I got thanked on the Best of the Web again. The airbus joke was mine. (Yes, again. I’ve previously sent in The Taiwan joke and the time capsule Onion link. I don’t even remember which items I submitted on this page and this one, so don’t ask.)
