Antimony Tony. It's about a Cuban refugee who gains the power of antimony, but no one knows that is and all the local girls keep saying they ain't even hitched yet. It's a gritty miserablist drama.

Clearly they aren't; America could not be less interested in pulp heroes after it fell out of love with Indiana Jones. But this counts as "original idea" since even if the characte and story are already in (well, were in way back when) pop-culture, it's not a reboot or a sequel!

As a pre-teen our scool library had a copy of The Man of Bronze, as a Doc Savage story. But the way the titke was arranged, it made it sound like "Doc Savage, The Man of Bronze", implying Doc was made of metal, like the guy in the Sabbath song. Adult knowledge to the contrary, I still insist Doc Savage is in fact

Just like Red Zone Cuba, other than the clean version of RZC is somehow all of jarring, tedious and offensive.

You are 100% wrong. The nonsense "philosophy" of the sequel is junior-high crap, the NPCs are atrocious (yeah, we all cried when Darth Screech died), the level perfunctory and the difficulty and game balance just gives up 2/3 through and gets trivial - until it forces you to play one of your dull companions instead of

I don't hate them, but I tend to find their creepiness satbotages what might otherwise be funny for me. So even when I get the joke, I'm just unconfortable and a bit confused, as by all logic, I should be laughing at that. But instead… ew, puppets.

Eh, I've long since stopped worrying about how little my politics match up to theirs (which is, to say, only occasionally, and on accident), but what annoyed me is that their stated reason for going after Moore. Basically, in Bowling, he made a South Park parody clip, and didn't credit them, so harassing him in puppet

Eh, it was another show I wanted to like a whole lot more than I did. When it wasn't trying to hard, it just seemed tired.

When I used to work at a large internet retailer, Dunham once single-handedly made the quarter. All the buyers considered him beneath their contempt, but people bought the shit out of those things (and the margin was right, too). Like McRib and off-color Mt Dew, as awful as it is, there's a huge market out there.

ENDUT! HOCH HECH!

She still has a lot of names in her speed dial list to call up for guest slots.

I've read take-downs of the book, and know the major (and some, ugh, minor) plot-points. I even have the book, purchased and unread, based on a dare, on my Kindle. But I nonetheless feel confident that yes, this time the cover was totally accurate - this is Marty Stu crap wrapped up in faux-misery porn and 8th-grade

You gave me a great dea for a book; every chapter opens with the hero in the toilet, taking a huge shit (which is fully described). The shitting doesn't have anything to do with the plot, but it just there for the act breaks and the fact that hardly anyone ever mentions shitting in contemporary fiction! Could also

It would somehow cost $900 million to make and people would still think it was like, I dunno, Jimmy Carter's other brother tries out for the Olympics and uses steroids, but then the Russians invade Afganistan so he can't go anyway and there's like giant bugs only he can see or something?

Nothing says "money in the bank" like Will Arnett!

Maybe they just really, really liked seeing Jared Leto get the crap beaten out of him? That has to be a good-sized demographic.

I dunno; if I needed a ride home from the airport and it was the guy who had this as his favorite book or the one who thought Atlas Shrugged was his favorite, and I really, really didn't want to take the train for some reason, I might go with this.

Naked Lunch! Though I actually kind of likd that movie.

I want him to already work night and day and have a strong opinion about me being on his plane or not.

It was easier back in the highwater-Napster days when you didn't even pretend to give them any money, so you could get all the Ted Nugent and Leni Riefenstall you wanted!
