in Stuff I Like

1. You know how some people say “Airwolf” instead of “cool?” That’s a bit too 2005, so I’m updating it.  Now, cool things are “Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn.”

ex. “Have you seen Ninja Assassin? That movie is totes Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn.”
“Oh dude, I know.”

2. How good has Detective Comics been? At what point will we be able to talk about how awesome Batwoman/Kate Kane is as a character without bringing up that she’s a lesbian every five minutes?

3. The casting of Idris Elba as the Norse god Heimdall in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor film continues to be a sore point for bigots and assholes on comics-related forums and blogs.

3a. I have been reminded again to avoid comics-related forums.

4. Glenn Beck’s The Christmas Sweater doesn’t have a spoiler-laden Wikipedia page. I want to be appalled by it, but don’t want to pay for the privilege, people.

5. I now have DJ Hero in my possession. Like Google Wave, it is something I have but I am not sure that I understand it yet.

I haven’t really been that concerned about Batwoman/Kate Kane’s sexual orientation all that much as up until the most recent issue of DETECTIVE it hasn’t really been much of an issue. That said, the most recent issue is pretty Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn in 3D!
