AHWoSG was wonderful when I last read it (admittedly a few years ago in my early 20s, like @Gjetostbuster:disqus says above and @avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus says about McSweeney's writing in general) and I enjoy some of his short stories.

What the actual fuck is wrong with you guys? The Nolan Batman films are - at worst (ie. even if you don't care for them much) - a watershed moment for comic adaptations. Begins creaks a bit, I'll give you, but Dark Knight is a (near-)perfect big film.

A man knows when a man's been Tango-ed.
A man eats fresh.
Dove won't dry a man's skin like other soaps can.
A man remembers when a man's grandfather gave a man a man's first Werther's Original… etc etc ad tedium.
