hey, if MODOK is cool enough for Monster Magnet to name-drop in one of their badass songs, then he's cool enough for mainstream television.

i don't know anything about the publishing industry but is it possible that writers reach a certain level of success and then either insist the publisher not edit their books properly or that the publishers pull back, not wanting to jeopardize their relationship with a demonstrated money-maker? maybe i'm only of this…

i would have put "Tahiti" in quotes too - i'm convinced it'll turn out to be the theta-series clone chamber or a pod with virtual reality of a tropical resort or something. plus his rote response of "It's a magical place" has to be some sort of programming/brainwashing glitch.

i'm obviously not going to change your opinion but i have to say i disagree with you when you say this show is pure shit - i thought this fourth episode was a huge improvement and was actually surprised it was only given a B+.

shut up, julian, and get back to work! keiko will be home in 17 hours.

john teti: be sure to order your hot dogs with ketchup on them. people in chicago love that shit and they'll instantly recognize you as a boon companion.  also: they know the bears suck and have absolutely no problem with people willing to point this out, in as much detail as possible - if you can work some hand…

i know this is the internet but… why do you have to shit on something like that, man? you're entitled to your opinion and, hell, you're even entitled to share it with us - a review of paul pope's work is pretty much the best place to do so, because where else is anyone gonna give a fuck?
 
but i don't understand why you…

a] awesome find, dude. i am jealous.
b] what happens with old comics? do they just get pulped? i guess i can understand - no one in the industry would want to "devalue" the collectibility of first run issues by putting a huge supply of perfectly good comics out for free a month or two later… but it seems like there…

i was a huge fan of THB back in the day and i actually hesitated to mention this since i'm not sure the series was ever collected or finished - but it was a huge amount of fun, so i'd highly recommend it if you ever come across an issue.
 
a lot of his earlier work comes across as very much the antithesis of superhero…

grant morrison still takes the cake for breaking the fourth wall, though.

didn't they try to sex up the formerly plus-sized hacker gurl on Criminal Minds? i seem to remember catching a few minutes of the show when visiting my folks last year and thinking she'd trimmed down quite a bit from the first season…

Nth Man was probably my second favorite comic book at the time it was being published - about the only books i looked forward to more were Grant Morrison's Animal Man and then later his Doom Patrol. larry hama and ninjas, what more could a boy want?

i'm somewhat ashamed to admit that i once thought all of joan cusack's roles were played by john cusack in drag - it wasn't until she got glammed up and started doing tv commercials a decade or so ago that i realized she wasn't a dude. up until that point i thought john cusack was just doing a very long, extended…

to each their own - i really like how distinctive his voice is, deep, slow, melodious. but, hey: intelligent people can disagree, right?
 
i'm sorry, you're right: this is the internet SO FUCK YOU ASSHOLE.

fuck yeah, that would be sweet! "Rock N Roll (Could Never HipHop Like This)" has probably got one of the most badass grooves outside of, i dunno, classic Sabbath or something.

me, i've been reading his repeated insistence on what a magical place tahiti is as some sort of piss-poor brainwashing, along the lines of "Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."
 
now, i'm not sure what they might have programmed him to do - maybe it's as…

the album that turned me into a fan was Jesus Wept - unreservedly, hands-down, probably one of my favorite albums by anyone. i can listen to that album almost endlessly and it's almost perfectly constructed to make me want to continue listening to it over and over - the sonic, structural rhythms the music follows lead…

since we're both being earnest and shit, i'm going to respond even though this is five days old and probably no longer relevant to your life. [i was in mexico for my sister's birthday, sorry.]
 
but, actually: let's start there - a week has gone by since you listened to this new, crappy music. does it still take away…

maybe some creative people just do better work when they're off their fuckin lids thanks to the abuse of some substance or another? i mean, there have been plenty of people whose seminal works were the product of drugs: hunter s. thompson and most of the gods of rock from the late 60s and early 70s come to mind…

i know it's the internet but i'm going to take you at your word and proceed as if you really did break down in tears about this: there, there man. i'm sorry you didn't enjoy this album and, if you spent money to buy it, that's honestly too bad - i
hope you can get a buck or two from a used CD shop or something but,…
