"MANIFESTO OF OWNAGE" is the name of my new thrash band.

Hey check out this guy's life preserver. DORK thinks he's gonna drown!

Even Blood Simple and No Country are funny in their way. Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink too. Fargo is hilarious. The Coens have never made a nonfunny movie. Lebowski and Serious Man define the modern "smart comedy" in my mind.

"Fans of the film universally are pretty, WASPy, upper-middle class kids."

Keith Phipps - American
Keith tied Frank Sinatra to a chair. Keith fired up the shit. Keith dosed Frank. Frank went Oooooooh. Keith shot him twice in the head.

Popeye's great. The last watchable Robin Williams movie. I really wish they'd had money for the big octopus at the end. 3 Women is probably one of my top 3 Altmans too, with Nashville and, oh, I dunno, McCabe or Gosford Park or Thieves Like Us. One of those.

Most of Marvel's big headliner books are in the #600 range right now. Thor (which started as Journey Into Mystery) hit it this year, and I think Captain America (nee Tales of Suspense) did. Fantastic Four will hit it next year I think. Amazing Spider-Man is the furthest along since it's like a weekly now, so it'll be…

"Intersections in Real Time"…
… the 1984-esque Season 4 episode of Babylon 5 wherein Captain Sheridan is interrogated by Earth forces. The ending of that is killer.

There's a complete script for Ambersons, so we can guess, and anyway it's possible that if it were to be found it would be in an edited form already because Orson had a complete cut before RKO made Wise take the knife to it, and it's possible that said cut might exist in South America or something. That is opposed to…

Its finest moment except for "The Nearness of You" of course.

Phil Selway solo album
Because, you know, if you just removed all that goshdarn *music* from the soul-crushing beats on their last couple albums, you end up with, like, the greatest thing ever.

Am I all right? Am I all right?
First thing tha comes to mind is Ronee Blakley's onstage breakdown in "Nashville." "Here chick chick chick."

"I'll wash your Ferrari for a thousand dollars. Prowl can't watch though, or he has to pay a hundred."

New X-Men is about 2/3rd of the greatest thing ever. That final third though… oh my.

Bizarro is a metaphor for how America's best intentions can and will blow up in everybody's face.

ASS > Supreme. So much of Supreme is basically pastiche, re-telling (very literally) old Superman/Girl/Olsen tales and then juxtaposing them with very nineties tones and story points - and aside from Chris Sprouse and Rick Veitch, the art is 90's in the worst possible way. ASS finds a perfect bridge between those two…

As I recall, it was the Atom and Green Arrow (Connor Hawke, maybe?) who killed Darkseid at the end of "Rock of Ages." Bruce Wayne like destroyed Desaad's mind with his willpower or something.

So Locke is Dr. Doom, Desmond is grown-up 90's Franklin, Ben is The Wizard, and Miles is Wyatt Wingfoot?

That final OT image of Jin and Sun is pretty heartbreaking. Juliet had three separate death scenes (so far!) which was a bit much.

Enemy Ace by Kubert and Kanigher is my favorite comics ever. The Showcase of that is a must have. Their Sgt. Rock stuff is beautiful too(though it gets repetitive too quickly). And I love Kubert's Tarzan too — I found a a DC 100-page Tarzan from his run in a 50 cent bin once and it is one of the gems of my collection…
