Get back in the house, Father Jack

WHAT ?

"Singing in a lounge club with a bourbon in her hand". If that's an allusion to the Big Sleep it makes me like her even more. (What a wonderful scene, by the way)

It could be done in a colonel Kurtz way.

Those are really cool. I'm not sure about Newman as Tony Stark though. A bit too phlegmatic. Humphrey Bogart in Blade Runner is awesome.

What didn't you like in Kanaan ? I rather liked it. I thought the writer did a good job with the main character, writing him as a completely traumatized child rather than some cocky teenage hero.

Both Jock and Sorrentino make amazing, innovative compositions. You just want to look endlessly at some of the splash pages they do.

I especially love the way Capullo draws buildings, especially in zero year.

When I was a kid I read the adventures of a young detective called Alice Roy. I discovered only a year ago that it was the name that had been given in the french translation to Nancy Drew. (I have no idea why)

I think in french they managed to (awkwardly) fit in the Ankou, which is Death in the Breton tradition.

Yes, he'll be wearing a suit. But surely at some point he'll find himself almost miraculously without his jacket, in a torn, bloody shirt. (It has always baffled me. The moment when the hero of an action movie transforms from ordinary citizen into the header picture. The transition is always difficult to spot.)

Look on the bright side : it isn't another mash-up

It has a certain nostalgic quality for me. It's a movie the whole family gathered to watch.

ALWAYS remember the locative

Does everything have to be useful though ? Teaching Classics at middle school level, I often get comments like "Madam it's useless, we're never going to need it". At first I spent time explaining that you needed it to understand the roots of our language and our civilization and so on. Even I wasn't entirely…

Due to the system in place in my country, I teach at the University and at a middle school. Sometimes I get confused, which leads to awkward informations about the Romans being delivered to delighted 7th graders.

I just thought it was weird, as advertising goes.

To be honest, most of the time, the only memory you have of books studied at school is the teacher insisting that one thing or another represented sex.

I do not read it, but I checked it out after reading your comment. The description for the third issue on Image's website is "What will torture look like in the future ?", which I found hilarious (probably because I'm tired). It seems fun, though.

I suppose it's the collecting part I don't get anyway.
