He did, actually. No idea why Heathers thought it would be important.

I believe Heathers is incorrect on this score. The word gets mentioned once or twice, but I don't remember it being particularly significant.

I still don't get this.

You damn right.

Well, what else are they gonna make new poop out of?

I finished up Moby-Dick (I think I genuinely shocked my parents when I told them I was reading it. It's not that hard a book, everyone!) So now for something completely different: the giant stack of random comics I got from my old boss. I'm starting with the non-Marvel/DC stuff, which is an interesting grab bag. I'm…

Though it may not seem like in in the moment, from a historical perspective, violence among humankind has been at an all-time low for many years now!

Who's the black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks?

I'm still trying to plot out my next comic book script, having been distracted by Life Things. I need to establish a sense of camaraderie between the protagonist and a newly introduced character, in order to give the latter's sudden but inevitable betrayal more weight. I haven't got all the nuts and bolts yet, but I'm…

I've begun watching The Batman on Netflix. It's a decidedly odd take on Gotham, with their near-feral Joker, the new cop characters, the younger Bruce, and so forth. It's jarring to watch a Batman who order nachos from Alfred and says thing like "It's pretty cool." It doesn't have the emotional depth of Batman: The…

I just started watching Season 2 of Daredevil, and I was amused to note that in an early scene in the first episode, Matt and Foggy were walking right across the street from where I live. And this was odd because I live in East Harlem, and they were ostensibly walking to work in Hell's Kitchen. That's a hell of a…

Close, they're an autobotonous collective.

I've only played Ocarina of Time on a college roommate's N64, so, uh, that one.

I like this analogy, but then I'm the sort of person who regularly refers to the NRA as the Sinestro Corps, so you're already on my wavelength.

Huh. I've never heard of this one. Given the pedigree, I wouldn't be surprised if it were one of those comics that exists more or less solely as pitch material for a movie such as this, like Cowboys and Aliens or assorted works of Mark Millar.

I've seen that one as well. The songs were catchy, as I recall. Fortunately, all my misconceived-cartoon-adaptation movie watching happened via home video.

I think the gender politics of slasher movies have been pretty well documented by now.

Why wait?

I've seen it. They had George rap (well, "rap"). It was unwise.

Stoop kid's afraid to leave his stoop! STOOP KID'S AFRAID TO LEAVE HIS STOOP!
