Well, the title got your attention, didn’t it? Yes, she was punished recently for making “Catwoman”: Berry Can’t Escape ‘Catwoman’ During Award Halle Berry had to write “I will not make ‘Catwoman II’” on a chalkboard four times Thursday in order to earn her pudding pot as Harvard’s Hasty Pudding woman of the year. I…

Popular Mechanics article
Haven’t had much time for comic news this morning. I was reading something different. Debunking Hurricane Katrina Myths sounds like a political piece, but it’s actually a clear-headed engineering analysis of problems on the Gulf Coast. I’m posting it mainly for Phil, my Metro Med artist who lives on the coast and loves engineering stuff.
Which crew do you belong on?
Here were my results… though, frankly, I belong on the Babylon 5 crew. Take the quiz yourself! You scored as Deep Space Nine (Star Trek). You have entered the dark side of the Star Trek universe. The paradise of Earth is far from you and you must survive despite having enemies on all fronts. But…
Follow-up on the Un-American Superman
I can now expand on my post of six days ago about Superman saying he’s ashamed to be an American. My advice to jwd over at Dixonverse, reposted here, led to some spirited discussion this week, all of which has been quite exciting. At the time, I was working off of the first part of…
Andreas “G’Kar” Katsulas: 1946-2006
Andreas Katsulas has passed away from lung cancer at age 59. This is very sad but hardly a surprise, since every reference to Katsulas in a Babylon 5 episode commentary or interview mentions that he was smoking at the time. Katsulas was one of the true shining stars of Babylon 5, making his character shine…
Frank Miller has Batman fighting al Qaeda
Seems to me that this was news a month or two ago, but for some reason it’s just hitting the wires now: Batman to Go After Bin Laden The oddball thing is: where is all the outcry? Two years ago CrossGen announced that Chuck Dixon would be writing “American Power”, with a #1 issue cover…
What’s Scott Beatty up to?
Scott Beatty.com is in the middle of a major update. Check out his “What’s New” and “Previews” sections to catch glimpses of the up and coming books from Scott. The site also has a new color scheme just for today (it’s Valentine’s Day). That’s because I’m Scott’s webmaster and I was giving Monitor Duty a…
Fun games for a Monday
Monday. Ugh. I need to decompress. How about you? How about a circular game of Breakout, which can be played one-player or two-player? It also has a mini-game which is completely different and even more fun. Pianographique is a strange, strange thingy where playing various keys will launch 1970s video and sounds. (HT: The Corner)
Superman says he’s ashamed to be an American
Over on the Dixonverse, poster JWD comments on something in Superman #226 that bothers him greatly. I’ll have him tell it. (I’m reposting it here because Dixonverse does not have an archive.) Posted by jwd on February 10, 2006 at 08:29:11: The gist of the story is that our current Superman is in the midst…
The Mohammed Cartoon riots
For some reason, I thought one of the other Monitor Duty contributors had written something about the Danish cartoons of Mohammed and the riots, so I hadn’t written about it. My apologies to everyone for neglecting this issue that is so relevant to the freedom of speech, freedom of the press and, oh yeah, the…
