Don’t let the title completely fool you, this entry is a rant, as much as anything else. And don’t think that I’m some sort of pop culture otaku; I’m usually behind the curve when it comes to such things, especially music. But I seem to consume a fair amount of it anyway, and so here… Continue reading Pop culture segue

Comic book rant II
Okay, it’s been a good long while since I unleashed a comic book rant here and got my geek on. If you don’t read comic books, or don’t care, or whatever, you can safely pass this by. Otherwise, expect this to go long, and you may even be a little embarrassed for me. 🙂 Full-on… Continue reading Comic book rant II
An angry bunch
Go and check out today’s Pearls Before Swine comic strip. It’s the good stuff.
X-Men: The Last Stand
I saw the third X-Men movie on Saturday, and while I don’t think it’s as good as the previous two movies, I rather liked it. It won’t classify as a great movie, but it was certainly enjoyable. So what follows is my review… although it’s less of a “review” than just a general geeking-out about… Continue reading X-Men: The Last Stand
Check out today’s Pearls Before Swine
So, yeah. Go check it out. It’s funny.
Fantastic Four
Okay, I admit that since I saw the trailer for it at the beginning of Star Wars, I want to see the “Fantastic Four” movie. Even though, as my brother seems to think, it will likely turn out to be desperately bad. But with today’s CGI and effects technology, even the desperately bad can look… Continue reading Fantastic Four
Superman is a dick
Appropriate humor for April Fool’s, but it’s a real site: Superman is a Dick. Yes, those are actual covers from various Superman comics; the comments below each are the best part.
Spider-Man 2
Saw Spider-Man 2 on Friday night. Very good. Better in many ways than the first one, and the first one was very good, too. Herewith some additional thoughts, but they might be spoilerish, so only read on if you’ve seen the movie (or are willing to risk it).
Comic book references at the Post Office
Since we’ve moved into a brand-new development, we don’t even have a mailbox yet so we have to go to the Post Office to pick up our mail. The location for this is their warehouse in the industrial part of town, and when you go in, there’s simply a tiny lobby and a doorway that… Continue reading Comic book references at the Post Office
Hellboy
Forgot to mention, I saw the movie Hellboy last Saturday, and had a few words about it. Really good. For a long time I’d heard about plans for a Hellboy movie and was really skeptical that anyone could make a good one, but when I started seeing the actual previews, I got excited about it.… Continue reading Hellboy
