I thought the term 'broad' was completely outmoded as of now. I mean, unless you were alive during WWII, in which case, when the fuck did you learn how to operate a computer?

Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (1987)—"Lois Lane"
MK: Oh, God! [Laughs.] What a dreadful piece of shit.

You know what this story needs? Tom Sawyer! You know who would make a great Tom Sawyer? That guy from A Walk To Remember!

The problem was that the guy was specifically referencing The Killing Joke, not realizing that the whole point is that the Joker isn't even sure what happened anymore, so he creates his own sympathetic beginning. The canonical origin does vary from story to story, but this guy ignores a very important piece of that…

Who?

Personally, I'd rather have a Snuggie.

I forget what forum I was reading, but some guy was pissed off about The Dark Knight's popularity, saying that they ruined the joker, because "he had no backstory! he was supposed to be a comedian who got wrapped up in some crime-ring, etc…" Apparently he missed that 'multiple choice' line.

Maus is one of those books that I would never want adapted. It's so personal that it would be an injustice unless Spiegelman himself was directly involved with the animation. It may work as a collaborative deal a la Persepolis, but he seems reluctant to make any sort of adaptation.

If it's Jeph Loeb, the artist is most likely Tim Sale.

Also, I just read that Grant Morrison is responsible for giving Millar the idea for the twist ending. This makes me sad, as I'm a big fan of his.

I understand that it's an Elseworlds story and that it's completely separate from the actual canon, but it does force you to think, "Hmm, I wonder if that's what really happened in Superman's universe." I mean, the whole conceit to Elseworlds is "What would happen if we put this hero in this situation." It is a…

It started out great, but I fucking hated the ending to Red Son. "Why don't you put the whole world in a bottle, Superman?" Seriously?

A friend of mine saw some Chris Ware stuff at a random art gallery in Tennessee. We both thought that was a little bizarre.

To be fair to Jackson, he actually had to trim the ending from the book quite a bit. He cut out a whole chunk involving the hobbits' return to a devastated Shire.

This reminds me of that Mr. Show episode where Bob and David are about to break up and a hippie dude stands up and says that he's still wrecked by the Dead breaking up ("It's like I lost my best friend…"), so Bob and David kick his ass. Love that moment.

@ Horny: You should give her a call!

Your subject line made me laugh out loud. I knew there was a reason he creeped me out.

Great Movie
I think this is the greatest testament to Peter Jackson's talent, even more so than LOTR. This is a movie that could've been a giant shitfest, but he took the potentially pulpy material and approached it in a completely unexpected way, and succeeded immensely. Easily my favorite Jackson movie.

Are you a master of karate?

But the Talking Heads never produced a Coldplay album.
