Pictures of the glorious leader of the Pentaverate are everywhere! If you don’t get any of this, you haven’t seen So I Married An Axe Murderer and shame on you!
My dreams come true!
Showcase Presents: Elongated Man debuts in July. This 560 page black and white volume will reprint the screwball mystery series “Elongated Man” which ran in the back of Detective Comics. This may, in fact, reprint the entire run. I did a rough count over on Dixonverse where we’re discussing these and I came up with…
Carpal Tunnel go bye-bye
I haven’t been posting too often because I’m trying to limit my computer time. The problem is this numbness in my fingers, which a doctor told me is the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome. Wearing wrist braces and cutting my typing time a bit is helping. The biggest help has been RSI Guard, a small…
It’s all in the trailer
Brokeback to the Future is another one of those retrailers that shows how much you can distort a film through editing. This is better than that one with the Jedis falling in love, and I think it shows real talent (and a good eye).
I shouldn’t have mentioned Electric Company
Now I have the Blue Beetle’s song from Electric Company going through my head. No, not the Ted Kord Blue Beetle. The children’s show had an ineffectual superhero called The Blue Beetle played by Jim Boyd, and he sang this song whenever people asked him to do something dangerous and/or impossible: I would, if I…
It’s also Black History Month
I actually think that ol’ Easy Reader from Electric Company himself, Morgan Freeman, has the right idea about Black History Month. That said, it does serve as a good excuse to point everyone to an issue of Fanzing Magazine from five years ago. Issue #32, February 2001, was our “Affirmative Action Comics” issue.
Babe…I got you babe….they say our love won’t pay the rent…
Rise and shine, campers, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today. It’s cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly. So the big question on everybody’s lips… (On their chapped lips) …their chapped lips is, does Phil feel lucky? Punksatawney Phil, thats right wood chuck chuckers it’s…
I want to name our tenth planet!
Science News – ‘Tenth Planet’ Bigger Than Pluto Scientists are debating whether our solar system’s 10th planet… unofficially named “Xena” with a moon named “Gabriel”… is officially a planet. After all, it’s bigger than Pluto, which many people doubt should be officially a planet (it isn’t in a proper planetary orbit and it doesn’t have…
Wallace and Gromit could get Oscar!
Oscar nominations were announced today and there was a stunning upset in the animation category: And for the first time since the animated feature film category was added in 2001 that no nominees were made using computer-generated imagery. The nominees: the hand-drawn “Howl’s Moving Castle,” and the stop-motion films “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride” and “Wallace…
Any coffee drinkers here?
I don’t want to get all “activist agitator” with you folks, but here’s the problem: I want to support a coffee company but I don’t actually drink coffee, nor does my wife. Our parents drink coffee at our house once in a blue moon, which means the one bag we own has lasted for some…
