The real star of Elektra: Assassin is Bill fucking Sienkiewicz. Not sure why Miller even gets mentioned in connection with that one - the story there is totally absurd and infantile; it's the art that's absolutely goddamn gorgeous. If he and Moore had ever finished Big Numbers, I'm convinced it would've been Moore's…

I haven't read that Dark Knight sequel since it came out, but I seem to remember everyone having feet and hands that were twice the size of their heads. Miller's art has been getting weird in a bad way for a while now.

Gosh, I wonder why more women don't hang around here.

Hipster Asshole should try his "I'm A Bigot, But Ha Ha, It's Okay, It's Just Pretend, Maybe" act with racist shit, and then we can watch how quick he gets banned.

He just wants his kids back.

"Garfield: His Nine Lives" came out of a brief, weird experimental period in the strip's history where Jim Davis was actually, like, coming up with shit. I've never seen a satisfactory explanation for why he never bothered exerting himself before that brief window, and why he quit afterwards, but somewhere right…

Incidentally, how is a computer-animated character going to work with the whole "Princess" merchandising line? Isn't the whole idea to line them all up as if Cinderella and Pocahantas and Whatsername Fishmaid Woman are buddies who hang out in the Princess Summer Funtime Mansion ($149.99) and drink tea and put on each…

I generally root for the bear in these things.

WATCHOO GONNA DO WHEN VINTAGE TOYS RUN WILD ON YOU! EAT YOUR GREENS!

DUANE!

I'll watch The Great Muppet Caper. Peter Falk's cameo in that is one of the great scenes in cinema.

Eh, there's a lot more continuity between Old Miller and Modern Shitty Miller than most would like to admit. All the same obsessions and fetishes are there, just a bit more muted. The authoritarianism, the racial caricature, the "sexy exotic killer woman who will kill you with her exotic killer sexiness" shtick - all…

More bitter white nerds getting mad at women who will never have sex with them. Yawn.

Wow, you people take your death-worshiping axe-wielding maniac shows seriously. I said Breaking Bad was camp. I never said it wasn't wonderful, outrageously fun camp. Do you get this huffy when someone says of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, "fun movie, but not quite Citizen Kane"?

The comic worked, as much as it did, because Eduardo Risso can fucking draw, and has a pervy habit of drawing women with erect nipples the size of small plums poking through their shirts. The story was awful and the characters were a drag; the X-files comparison is apt, in that the one-off stories were typically…

Breaking Bad is big dumb fun in the same way The Shield was big dumb fun - it's gripping and engaging moment-to-moment, sure, but it's laughably divorced from any kind depiction of the real world, or even reasonably grounded characterization (Skyler really goes from wanting to be rid of her creepy stalker husband to…

It's really not the best anything, but it's pretty good as far as big dumb fun goes.

Reading the Bible is actually pretty interesting as an academic/cultural exercise, especially if the only thing you know about it is the odd Sunday school story. When you actually read it straight through, it becomes painfully obvious which parts are stitched together from various sources. Hell, often times a passage…

I don't know what HE's saying, but I'M saying other culture's Deluge myths are just cooler, and often feature awesome gods and monsters.

Y'know, there's tons of Bible stories left to adapt. The one I want to see is Bible Fight Club!
