It's Uncanny!
Jul 07
Actually, it’s not, but it IS funny. The chin is complete cartoon fiction whereas in real life I’ve got a jaw and a half. Still, there is much fun to be had at with the character generator at the Simpson’s Movie website.
Even Your Transformer Friends…
Jul 03…get drunk and embarrass you sometimes. Check out the video clip under #6.
The movie, by the way, is exactly the exploderiffic, Baytastic extravaganza you would expect it to be. Any confusion you experience trying to decipher the convoluted allspark mythology will quickly be forgotten as soon as the giant robots start crashing into buildings again.
I do, however, have one quibble, and it may seem like a relatively minor one, but I’m gonna say it anyway. I mostly enjoyed the presence of designated babes Megan Fox (as a car-savvy popular girl) and Rachael Taylor (as a tech savant). I did not, however, enjoy the movie’s need to cover each of them in approximately 16 pounds of make-up. These are lovely ladies, but piling on the bronzer, lip gloss and spidery fake lashes makes for much distraction during all those nostriliffic Bayian close-ups. As Miss J might say, it reads “a little drag.”
DC=Teh Dumb
Jul 02So the latest preview image of Countdown is up at Newsarama, and may I say I am…underwhelmed?
There’s lots of cool stuff going on at DC right now–well, maybe “lots” is too strong a word. The Sinestro Corps business over in the Green Lantern books is seriously cool. I like Morrison’s Batman and the Busiek/Johns/Donner triumverate on the Superman books. Checkmate’s neat.
But this Countdown business, and whatever they’re teasing to lead up to whatever is going to happen…MEH. Sometimes, BLEAH.

It is cool, but hard.
That is all.

Jun 28Today, I drop my comics pull list.
Completely.
I’m off the smack. I’m on the wagon. I’m out.
Money’s a big factor–I’ve been spending way too much on bullshit–but there’s also the huge pile of stuff I’ve bought and haven’t read yet, and the fact that much of what both DC and Marvel are putting out is kinda annoying me, and the whole “wait for the trade” phenomenon, which given my reading pace, makes a whole lot more sense for me.
I’ll be back, I’m sure. Maybe sooner, maybe later. And trust me–I will have PLENTY to read so I’ll be consuming comics for some time to come.
I just won’t wait for Wednesdays anymore.
EDIT: See? I can’t even maintain resolve for a few hours. I just tried cutting it WAY down instead. We’ll see if I can pull that off.
EDIT 2 (6/29/07): Okay, back to reality. My pull list is dead. Long live my pull list.
