We used to just like stuff every week. Now we throw that in a blender with links, videos, and random claptrap and we call it…THE BIN. It stinks like garbage but it doesn’t taste half bad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stuff We Like This Week<\/strong><\/p>\n Chris:<\/strong> My Thor’s<\/a> Chariot<\/a> figure came in this week. This over-sized figure marked the return of Hero Clix from the brink of death, but only now came out, which suggests the new masters are going about business in a more canny fashion. And I’m all for it!<\/p>\n Also, I need to tell the world about Misfits – it’s an E4 show in the UK, about a group of juvenile delinquents who get strange powers. If you’re first thought is “Misfits of Science”, you get a cookie, but this show is way awesomer and you need to find it any way you can<\/a>.<\/p>\n Matt:<\/strong> The other night when I was up with the infant, I noticed Logo is now running Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> reruns, and that lo and behold, “Once More With Feeling” was airing that very night at 2 a.m. I set up the DVR to tape it and I’ve only rewatched half of it so far. I’m finding honestly that Buffy<\/em> is not aging that well for me; I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m not as immersed in that world and the style of it as I was when it was on the air, or if I’m just getting to be an old fart.<\/p>\n However, what I can say, and what I like this week, is that the goddamned songs have not left my head since I watched the show. So I’ve spent the past several days humming the bridge to “Rest In Peace” over, and over, and over, and over, and over…and damn they’re fine songs. So clever and catchy. Fuck, Whedon, is there nothing you can’t do, you snarky bastard???<\/p>\n Sarah:<\/strong> One particularly annoying argument I saw articulated re: the whole Blake Lively\/Carol Ferris thing<\/a> was this: “Well, you know, it’s a love interest role in a superhero movie, so it doesn’t matter anyway cause that role will suck<\/em>.” I’ve said this before, but…it doesn’t have to<\/a>. In fact, it’d be awesome if it didn’t. I always think back to Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane — so smart and funny and no-fucking-bullshit, you know? So when I found myself overwhelmed by all the internet noise this week, I went to my happy place, which is Lois Lane at the end of Superman II<\/em>, ordering Clark to go get her a goddamn hamburger at 9 in the morning. I like that. I like that a whole lot. (And I wish I could find a clip of it, but all the Supes II “ending” clips on YouTube pick up right after that moment, with Clark going to the diner.)<\/p>\n Link Stew<\/strong><\/p>\n Sandy at I Love Rob Liefeld<\/a> has taken up the Lord’s work of doing the yearly Best-Of Meta List<\/a> that compiles every list in creation and scores them to create one super-comprehensive list of the best comics of 2009. Essential.<\/p>\n Ryan Kelly’s new Funrama Presents<\/a> project looks fantastic.<\/p>\n Our friend Jill<\/a> has a new column on Heartless Doll and it has one of the greatest names ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Fantastic Fangirls ask us what piece of original comic-related art we would most like to own<\/a>. We’re still mulling this one over.<\/p>\n Etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n What will surely make your day is some brilliant Fake Beatles<\/a> from Street the Beat (via Douglas Wolk<\/a>).<\/p>\n
