Comics I’m Buying This Week 08/18/2010

18 August 2010

Amazing Spider-Man #640 – I was prematurely set to hate this story with a burning fanboy rage, but last issue threw me for a loop. Atlas #4 – Sad that this series is ending after #5. But the remaining two issues should be a hell of a ride, and I’m kind of looking forward to [...]

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The Box Office

16 August 2010

I’d ask why geeks need so much damn validation, but I think we all know the answer to that is ‘because we never got any validation back when we were in high school’ or whatever. Or is it that we’ve begun to believe the asinine hype that we read in trash magazines and online about [...]

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 [...]

Five Thoughts On Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

29 July 2010

1. For a movie that is about a guy fighting and killing hipsters, there were certainly a lot of hipsters packed into the theater. 2. Kieran Culkin as Wallace completely steals the movie. 3. It is remarkably faithful to the source material. Even in the third act, when significant changes are made for understandable reasons,  [...]

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 [...]

You People Are Double Hypocrites

8 July 2010

I thought I’d had all of the ridiculous games on Facebook blocked from my feed. No Mafia Party, no Crochet Wars, no Farmville, no Zombie Paper Route or whatever the fuck it is that people think is fun. It was a comforting existence. I’ve lived my life without playing any of these games and I [...]

Comics I’m Buying this Week

30 June 2010

Action Comics #890 – While I’m definitely not down for Joe Straczynski’s year-long story about Superman walking across the country to stop feeling sad, I do like Paul Cornell and I think that his Lex Luthor-centric run on Action will be lots of devilish fun. The preview that ran in last week’s books certainly indicates [...]

Scott Pilgrim Jeff Is Shockingly Accurate

29 June 2010

If only I could be paunchier, this would be a perfect representation of me. I applaud the creators of the Scott Pilgrim avatar creator for giving me the ‘blazer, tie and jeans’ option that Xbox Live has denied me for so, so long. In the interest of full disclosure, the taglines are randomly generated and, [...]
