Why aren't you watching Jekyll?
Oct 10
I know the new season of shows has arrived, but as ever, I’m becoming less of a broadcast man and more of a when-I-can man. Which is good, because it tends to allow me an opportunity to check out shows we might not get here.
One, which I’m hoping will show here soon (if it hasn’t already) is Jekyll. As you’ll guess from the title, it’s a new take on Jekyll and Hyde, which sounds boring, but thanks to some clever BBC writing and some awesome acting, isn’t.
I’m not going to say a thing about the show, except that it has the Bionic Woman (for those of you that need prompting like that) and the titular star, James Nesbitt is fucking incredible. A different hair-style, brown contacts, and the rest is him acting his ass off – the result is that you actually have a tough time seeing the two characters as being played by one actor.
Hoorah for the BBC!
Last night a Nerdcore MC saved my life.
Sep 28I abandoned radio years ago. Even before the mp3 era was born, I was a die-hard Walkingman. Take this top 40 and shove it. I’ve never looked back.
Which should provide some perspective when I tell you that Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston is stuck in my head. This song is getting enough airplay that it punched through my carefully constructed bubble of I-play-what-I-want.
Thankfully, the Internets has saved me. Thank you MC Skeletor – now I can go with the masses, but on my terms. You may need to select the track specifically on the right – as the auto player is on random.
Medic!
Sep 18Oh God, it hurts!
I just watched the Justice League: The New Frontier featurette on the Superman Doomsday DVD and I think I injured myself in my excitement…
…you know.
In my pants.
Ouch. But hip hip hooray for Darwyn Cooke!
Oh no you didn't.
Sep 13Doctorow. I understand you take a great deal of delight in using the term “underwear pervert” whenever you can, even when you don’t have to. But when you do it to the Metropolis Marvel, you have to hand in your comic fan membership card. We always knew it was a McLovin-sized forgery anyhow, but were willing to turn a blind eye. But you’re crossing lines now. I don’t know how much more we’s can stands it.
The Big Blue Cheese is THE comicbook hero. If you cannot display any respect for any other hero, at least show some respect to the one that set the bar.
