"I've got time! Give me money!" -Uwe Boll

I find it more Howard Hughes than Trump, but that's because I imagine him all alone in the theater, in his bathrobe.

The thousand-year comic.

And I was pretending to be a pedant, which I do pretty much all the time.

It's not an accident. They just decided to keep the panels organized the same way that they are in the original Japanese. Otherwise, they'd have to either reorganize all of the pages, or flip them around as mirror images.

That's just Mizuki's style. I've been reading his series Showa, which is a history of Japan and Mizuki's memoir of his own life during the Showa period. Even his more comic stuff like Kitaro mixes photorealism with looser, comic characters.

But Justin Bieber is a star! Fish

This whole thing must be a nightmare for Hae's family. I'd imagine they are convinced of Adnan's guilt (because why wouldn't they be, in their position), and had no interest to revisit the case. I really feel sorry for them.

Please hire the guy who wanders around my neighborhood yelling "PISS! SHIT! FAGGOT!" over and over again. Unless that guy is Paul Allen.

"Finally an opportunity to alienate the entire fanbase!" *J.J. Abrams sets giant pile of money on fire*

Well now Mariah Carey doing that is stuck in my head, so thanks for that.

I don't see how we, as readers, can know how self-important an author is based on what's on the page. This is why I find that criticism (along with calling something self-indulgent) says little more than "I didn't like this." I think most writers will do what they can to make their works "important," based on…

"Would I punch a chinchilla? You're goddamn right I would."

The Honda Stagmonster can drive for more than 500 miles on a single human liver.

So there was a reason to pay attention to all those scenes in the Galactic Senate? You coulda fooled me.

Surrealists have a field day.

Actually the major difference is that Amoeba sells used stuff, which Tower never tried to do until it was too late. Another major difference is that Tower would let its employees get away with being drunk and high on the job, which leads to the issues you discussed above.

The Tower in NYC still paled in comparison to the Amoeba Records in LA and San Francisco in terms of size, and even moreso in terms of selection. When Amoeba opened in SF, it was pretty clear that it was a major blow to the Tower stores in the city, which both closed not too long after that.
