"my friend told me that the last scene was hobbes wanting to talk to calvin, but calvin said he was doing his homework. then when he looked back he was the stuffed tiger everyone else saw."

I don't agree with either of you on Killing Joke, but as for Batman books I gotta give it up for Arkham Asylum, which is incredible. Also Year One, Long Halloween, DKR, obviously, I also think the "Hush" series is fantastic. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy these books, but I just haven't found anything that's topped…

Calvin and Hobbes
Someone posted about Calvin and Hobbes above, and I have to devote a post to my very favorite comic strip. When I think back on my childhood a large chunk of nights were spent with a booklight poring over those books. I still have them, and going back to reread them they still make me smile (and I…

Read 'em all. And loved em all, truly. But like I said, they just don't surpass those two for me. IDK, maybe I'm blinded by the fact that they were my first two.

Alan Moore
My first comic was Killing Joke. Really good intro in my opinion b/c everybody knows Joker/Batman and that's all you need to know. Then I read Watchmen. Both are two of my favorite books ever, but here's the thing: how do you follow that? I read basically the two best comics of all time back to back to…

Hmm…
…I'm usually on the side of the artist in these situations, but then I remembered that I hate Get Your War On. Soooo I think I'm just gonna wipe my hands of the whole situation.

Nice
Cool. I was interested in checkin it out after readin the review here. Glad to know it won't be one of those Sundance movies that just falls off the face of the Earth.

I'm with you actually. I feel like the first two or three seasons were legitimately great. The show has gone a bit downhill but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still entertained. Plus there are fleeting moments of brilliance I thought the episode last season that ended with "Fake Plastic Trees," for example, was one…

hell yes
More roles for Zach Galifianakis = More laughs for America

Actually, the ring was on a chain, which technically makes it "ice," so that puts it back into the realm of black hobbits.

I like Klosterman but I heard him on Bill Simmons' podcast the other day and he sounded kind of weak. Plus it seems like Nabin's been through some shit. I gotta give it to El Pollo Loco but if it was UFC it'd go 3 rounds easy.

Never heard of em
But a fucking awesome name for a band. Almost awesome enough to make me listen to em.

Nice, I'm excited to get my hands on the book. Kicking myself for pre-ordering off Amazon, now I have to wait for it to ship to my house rather than just walk down the street to the bookstore. Stupid.

Well, I know what I'm drinking this weekend.

I just want my kids back.

How about you start by making an actual point? Memento, Dark Knight, The Fountain, Requiem, and The Wrestler are all better than anything Mann has ever done. He's all style and no substance. Seriously, do you actually study Mann's movies and believe they have any sort of intellectual depth? Are you actually gonna…

It's the only Varda film I've seen. I dug parts of it but it didn't blow me away. I may need to rewatch it, she's definitely an interesting lady. Any suggestions for other flicks to check out?

Mann is good, but I think both Nolan and Aronofsky (at one point attached to Watchmen and Robocop) are both better. That being said GI Joe was always going to suck dick, Channing Tatum or not.

Well, they just came out with these things called "Uncrustables…" I'd bring you one but I feel like it would only horribly depress you even more when the kids are eating them in the remake.
