It’s been awhile but Takashi is back from the future and we’re ready to go forward… er, backwards to the infamous 1988!!! In 1988 Grant Morrison was asked to take over the writing on DC’s DOOM PATROL. I found Morrison during the last run of THE INVISIBLES and as the Doom stuff has taken a … Continue reading
This past Sunday I did an upgrade on my cellular phone. Since 2007 I’d had a Motorola Razr. I liked it a lot. My two previous phones were Razrs, and they worked beautifully as well. This time I had 2 stipulations. 1. Not a flip phone, and 2. It needed to be touchscreen. I researched … Continue reading
Sometimes movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine make me sad, because they give me time to reflect on how all the money going into these huge-budget movies could have been spent on important things like medical research, or wildlife conservation, or food for the needy. Let me back up: X-Men Origins: Wolverine … Continue reading
So last year at some point my wife forwarded me a trailer for a movie named CTHULHU. I was excited, even though I knew it would suck. I mean, aside from Stuart Gordon’s DAGON and John Carpenter’s IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS there really are no movies based on H.P. Lovecraft’s Olde Ones that succeed … Continue reading
Here’s the episode we’ve been waiting to see. Michael J. Fox is back. Sheila is back in her psychosexy glory. The heartbreak is back. The funny never left. You really need to be watching this show. Assuming I keep doing this for the full 22 episode season, there are bound to be … Continue reading
So I’ve had a little over a week to peruse through my new toy, and I am awed at how amazing it is. All my songs sound better through it, even through my car cassette adapter. I found a way around syncing it up so I could save the music that the guy left on … Continue reading
So, apparently I’ve graduated from college. No seriously…they’re going to give me a diploma and everything. Don’t worry, I’m just as surprised as you are. Someone clearly wasn’t paying attention, but who cares, its to my benefit. Most people get really excited about graduating from college. They plan post-graduation parties and trips. They get together … Continue reading
I don’t get it. I mean, of course I get it. She’s a beautiful girl. I’m a guy. I love beautiful girls. I do get it. What I don’t get, and here goes the unpopular opinion, is all the male hysteria, all the near-unanimous talk that “Megan Fox is the hottest girl on … Continue reading
I recently read an interview with Lauren Shuler Donner (the producer of all the X-Men movies, Wolverine, and about two dozen other films). It was all pretty standard stuff, but there was one particular passage that caught my eye regarding exisiting fan bases. It’s enormously important to us. Because of my experience on X-Men I … Continue reading
I’m rounding the bend to 30 years of age, and my concept of life over time has begun to drastically change–not because 30 is a magical number, but because I’ve finally lived enough years to realize how fast they pass. One year goes quickly. It’s alarming. I’m watching my best friend struggle and fight with … Continue reading
