52 Picks Up
May 10Jesus, there is only really ONE goddamned clever title to use with 52, and every fucker in the blogosphereoverse galactica is USING it.
A good interview with 52 editor Steven Wacker here.
Or, if you prefer, an irrefutable thesis on why Gambit sucks.
You wanna get high?
May 10Check out these trippy concept paintings of space communities from NASA circa the 1970s. Play William Shatner’s version of “Rocket Man” while you do.
E3 Blabbery: PS3 Is Pee
May 09Alert Nerd’s very own Chris is on the floor at E3 this year for work. My understanding is that he’s the voice actor for Waluigi, which is a far more lucrative career than you might imagine.
The rest of us are not on the floor. In fact, right now, I’m in a chair. That makes it easy to both sit and type at the same time.
This does not mean, however, that us non-floor-ites cannot sit up in our chairs and shout from the chairtops about the news dribbling like spittle out of this massive monument to consumer electronics lust. If the blogosphereoverse stands for anything, it stands for the right of every God-given American to shout from chairtops, even if no one listens.
Linkypoop
May 08Got my first issue of World Watch One in the mail, the official unofficial newsletter (well, one of them) for fans of Buckaroo Banzai. Lots of great stuff in it, but what YOU must concern yourself with is the upcoming Buckaroo Banzai comic book miniseries, which by all appearances will be cool.
Put your iPod into a boombox from the eighties. No SHIT. AWESOME. I’m not kidding.
A great article from Comics Should Be Good featuring some of comics’ greatest “magna opera.” In other words, all time classic runs by great artists and/or writers that have become definitive lifetime masterworks for the respective creators. Interesting topic, that. Here’s part two and part three.
I can die happy. Here are the characters from Battlestar Galactica drawn as if they were on The Simpsons.
Every day, the internet finds some new way to please me.
Pegg Watch 2006
May 08My friends J.C. and K asked me to please file an official report on the amount of Simon Pegg contained in Mission: Impossible III. “If the movie is at least 80 percent Pegg, we’ll go see it!” they said. Sadly, there are only two big Pegg scenes. He is funny and terrific in both of them, but still — it’s not quite the Peggariffic Extravaganza they may have been looking for. If you’re an Alias fan, Pegg basically plays a British version of Marshall — you half expect him to offer up a lipstick that’s really a camera, or maybe a pair of sunglasses that takes high-resolution x-rays.
