Stuff I Like

Sic Semper [Darth] Tyranus

5 August 2010

In the context of the Prequel Trilogy, Count Dooku seems like a bit of a chump. Dooku is subverted and initiated into the Sith somewhere in the ten year gap between Episode I and Episode II, and all you can really think about when you see him is that Anakin is supposed to kill him [...]

Comics I’m Buying This Week

4 August 2010

Because the other posts I have in my brain are about Jersey Shore or Count Dooku. Amazing Spider-Man #639 – Continuing the retelling of Spider-Man’s wedding in the most cludgy and awful way possible. Yes, it’s nice that you gave Mary Jane a cell phone, but name-dropping Princess Di with the insinuation that she is [...]

Disturbing Behavior

20 July 2010

“The problem with America is mankind’s abject unwillingness to contribute to the delinquency of the young.” That’s what Nick Stahl shouts at a middle-aged man who refuses to buy him a case of beer in Disturbing Behavior, yet another variation on Red Scare paranoia horror from 1998 – the other notable being The Faculty, which [...]

Comics I’m Buying This Week

14 July 2010

I may have skipped last week because I didn’t get into Comics on the Green until Saturday, but CIBTW is back! AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #637 – As much as I like Spidey from issue to issue anyway, there’s maybe one storyline a year that feels big and satisfying. Last year’s was New Ways To Die and [...]
