MY GOD!  When will they stop giving Courtney Love turtles!?!?

What?  Oops.
Don't mind me, just wandered in here looking for some Tush.

The Merk of Zorro

Come on dish!  Who'd you meet from here? Were they… dreamy?

"Toy Story was probably the last disney/pixar movie i saw in theaters as after a certain age it just isnt cool to like these movies so"

I thought the vastly inferior Cormac McCarthy wrote this…. when does the baby get spitted?

I bet it was the scene where she's diddling that mob dude's ass with a dildo on the couch.

That's MS. Pac Man. She was a modern woman.

Well, one genuinely weird family member was… A hand… But yeah.

Can Adams play Trombone?

I'd love to read snarky wine reviews!  
I'd also envy anyone who got to be a wine reviewer!
In review!  Wine!

Meanwhile Ladies,
I am not approved at all. I am in fact uncensored and fully intended for an adult audience.

You just made my day.

Except DC owns these characters.  
Moore owns *nothing* but our goodwill toward the work he did as a work-for-hire contractor.

"How JMS, as a (putative) artist himself, could stomach cash-grabbing like this is beyond me, but it likely involves some self-deluding idea that he's going to create a new piece about heroic optimism or some shit—sort've an Aeneid companion piece to Watchmen's Iliad."

DC is exercising their ownership of the characters, that's pretty much all their doing and they've done it before.  Often using the tip of Moore's own pen to do it.

Moore would be on firmer ground if he hadn't made his name by using characters he didn't create like… Superman, Swamp Thing, Batman, Green Lantern… you know, all those characters who's creators similarly signed away control of their creations in return for a paycheck. 

So… until he dies… only Stan Lee should be able to write Spider-Man? See, Stan Lee doesn't own Spider-Man any more than Moore owns Watchmen.  

1.  Moore doesn't own Watchmen, DC does. It was a work-for-hire contract.
2. Len Wein doesn't own Swamp Thing, DC does. It was a work-for-hire contract.
3. Aside from his British work, Alan Moore was catapulted atop his high horse initially with the brilliant Swamp Thing run where he literally reinvented and

I adapted his beard and now he fucking hates me for it. I keep telling him that I stole mine from some guy named Charleton, but he doesn't believe me.
