This one's pretty good too:

Mind linking to this article?

As someone who lived (and slept) through the Northridge quake, that song will always delight me.

I went to the Doug Loves Movies taping, and it was electric. Especially when Doug, et al started interviewing the woman Zach was playing for about working at Universal Studios. Also, Galifianakis literally left the theater space and went in to the lobby during the name tag grabbing.

My Poe's Law Detector is going off the charts.

Honestly, this newswire didn't need a full article, the wonderful headline was enough for me.

It's like my theory that all the drugs and alcohol are actually keeping Keith Richards alive.

Hey, when you've made Putney Swope, you get a lifetime pass.

Of course there's my favorite crazy ass silver age story: The one where Lois travels back in time to stop Krypton from blowing up, thinking this would make Superman love her. She then gets involved in a hilarious romance with Jor-El:

Teti was busy this week with E3, so there was no Six Feet Under review.

In case you missed it, AV Clubber Erik Charles Nielsen (Garrett on Community) did a set of stand up on Conan last night that referenced both It's Raining Men and Jean Jacques Rousseau.

Ah-yup. I've never seen B5, so I'm not familiar with Doc Franklin.

Let me put it this way: It's about Superman walking across the country because some woman yells at him for not curing her husband's cancer. I'm told the story picked up after JMS jumped ship and Chris Roberson took over and realized that Superman should be ya know, super.

When I first read that, I appreciated how Gibbons made Jor-El look like an older Brando.

I love them both, but I think that All-Star requires you to know a bit more about the history of Superman to fully enjoy it. With Secret Identity, you just need to be familiar with the concept of Superman. As Oliver says, it give you all the ideals of Superman, even though the character isn't the "real Superman."

Not to mention how Morrison perfectly condenses Superman's origin in to eight lines.

I think in the back of the collected edition of Red Son there's an acknowledgement that the artistic team fought tooth and nail for Batman's Russian hat.

I'm not saying it's related, but his comics did get shittier after his son died.

Also, regarding Elseworlds: Red Son, or the best thing Mark Millar ever wrote.

Are you talking about Paul Cornell's Luthor focused run on Action? Because that was the run that got me back in to monthly comics. Nothing like a bit of fun villain on villain action.
