Originally, though, it was going to be about bottom-feeding crustaceans.  All You Need is Krill.
Or, after Tom wanted to go to Ireland and make it an animated movie… All You Need is Kells. 
Or, upon finding out that the rights to Robert E Howard's most famous character were tied up.. All You Need is Kull.

But watching the other half makes you all smart and stuff.

Interesting enough to watch a weekly tv show about it?  Or just maybe read a long article in the Times about it?
Seems like most reality tv's "information" is about a magazine article's length, stretched and edited to fill a season.
Why "seems like'?  Because I don't watch reality tv, have never seen it, and so have no

I thought Cat House would be a natural.  One of those Real Housewives could be the madam.

I saw Watchmen in the theatre, and… boy, that credit sequence was effective and kinda beautiful.  Then it settled down to "only" a nearly page for page adaptation of the comic.
Which, for whatever reason, didn't seem to work.  It was, to me, similar to the first Harry Potter movie — so slavishly faithful to the book

YOLO is dead for sure.  I use NSNA now, though I'm trying to shoehorn FRWL into conversations.  My future favorite is TWINE.

"And then decided this discussion is invalid, because there are other comic book artists you don't like."

I finally got the first trade of Fraction's Hawkeye (My Life as a Weapon) from my library, after much anticipation and hype, and…

Another hilarious one, O'Neal/Cleary.

I'm very curious about all the Before Watchmen issues, though I haven't read a one.  Waiting for them all to be collected and .. for someone to send them to my house for free, that would be nice!.  I'm intrigued by the Darwyn Cooke stuff but…. I gather some of the stories are not good.

Nice, sacrelicious (extra kudos for crediting Eaglesmith AND Snider)

I'm from a small town in northern California.  Always loved it, wanted to move back there some day maybe (I live near LA now).  But a couple years ago I was checking out the possibility - housing prices, jobs, whatever - and was chilled to the bone.  The whole place (except for the very large and richer estate-type

Considering that Barton and Natasha "remember Budapest very differently" it could a Rashoman-style movie…

I think the Black Widow could carry a film - it just needs to have more spy stuff than superhero stuff.  She's never been too sucessful as a solo in comics (I'm pretty sure she's had solo comics, or maybe half a book, like in Amazing Adventures or something??) but she keeps coming back, all over the place.  Avengers,

Puppers2?  other people have replied more articulately than I, but I have to add:

The John Spencer one was chilling — it's Kristin Chenowith's character who "finds" him, right?  (His body isn't shown, she's just going into his hotel room to fetch him for a campaign meeting.)
When I first saw this episode (I caught up with West Wing years late, so knew Spencer was gone (and loved to see him - 'member

I'm of the same mind about Glee - I thought the first season was often great, but was never sure it should have continued, as it never seemed to be great with consistency…
So I haven't watched much for most of its run, and am by no means a fan of the show.  But when I saw Monteith's name I could picture exactly who he

I don't know what the cause of death will turn out to be, but even if someone's been through of rehab and is clean, depending on what drug they encounter after (could be prescription, or a tiny amount of something that used to hardly affect them) —devastating results can occur.  Obviously drug use can fuck up your

Great movie, great scene, very nice to see it written up here.  A little shout-out, though, to John Ritter in this movie.  I think it was the first time I ever thought of him as a better-than-average actor.  He does some really subtle work with what could be seen as a cartoonish role.

Dwight Yoakum USED to be very sensitive about his hair — that is, that he didn't have much.  Around the time of his first album, he was never seen without that cowboy hat.  A friend of mine met him at a studio, and sort-of-playfully grabbed at the hat —Dwight backed away and snapped at him.
Anyway — he became,
