I know his luster is gone for good at this point, but I still hold up his old Challengers of the Unknown reboot mini from the 1991 as one of the best books of its era. A great way to remake a concept, keep it in line w/ the original ideas too.

The correct answer is SPAWN.

I was bothered that the show didn't 'put a button' on the Teddy/Bob plot. It was pretty obvious they were going to wind up w/ nothing as the golf cart bopped along but it felt like the show ran out of time before showing them finally empty handed. I feel it the story would have benefited from showing them back at…

I really liked the McMoon mascot as a kid, and I'm forever bummed its a neonazi meme now.
It was so nonsensical … like something the old Letterman show would do to mock mascots.

I was bothered by this revelation. I feel like it demeans science-based reasoning, and even though AT is a nutso mystical/metaphysical world, I still want there to be some concrete aspects to it. And, very often, medicine and science get presented as an unemotional and negative/corrupted force in the AT world. (See …

I'm deeply creeped out by that curse-spider. Adventure Time really knows how and when to underplay the menace for great impact. Fern would be creepy enough, if they didn't make it so like Fin in voice and earnestness, but putting that invisible thing on its chest… *shudder*

Is it time to start talking about overlooked comics gems of 2016 yet? Probably not, but one book I found and loved this year was Pitiful Human Lizard from Chapterhouse. Chapterhouse a smallish Canadian company, and all their books have Canadian creative teams/roots.
Pitiful Human Lizard is a comedy-hero book, and it…

I loved this movie from my childhood UHF stations, and saw it 4 or 5 times before I figured out it wasn't a legitimate documentary. Last year I found a low quality dvd, and feel it still holds up as a great fun movie. Looking forward to watching it again around Halloween.

I haven't heard his Mayor West in a while, but I remember it feeling more spry than this. Those bits though, are usually only a line or two long (aside from a couple spotlights). Maintaining tone and clarity is probably a lot harder over the hours it takes to do a feature length project.

Ok, mean choice of words on my part. I stand by my feelings tho, even as voices they sound dreadfully out of place playing the characters in their prime.

Allow me to pout and suggest a better plot for this would have been Batman's last case, at the end of which he marries a reformed Catwoman, passes his cowl down to Robin, leaving their son to be the new sidekick at the close.

the last one I remember really liking for the Racoon from the 1980 games. It was really well designed, and felt appropriate for the identity of the place.

Hopefully he'll make sure to include the expanded Izzy universe from the CD-ROM and SNES games.

You should have checked out the local elementary school. Hook ya right up. Watch for fires tho.

That article from Atlanta magazine is golden too, well worth a read.

Film Roman are really good at their job, even when they're coasting, so I can imagine it is serviceable and looks okay.

Yea, my wife and I. Snarks okay, I'm a long time AVcommenter, so I get the drill.
The blog started as a bit of a lark, something to do with the game we'd play while dissecting movies after watching them, and it has kind of grown into a way to look at old and new media, where they succeed and fail, alongside the show…

Definitely a Cousin Oliver.

Well, that's our main work, but it takes forever to do those posts, so we like to do other gimmicks in between. I think the ones we did for JAWS, and Rear Window are probably the best.

I fondly remember RBBH, it had its own style of satire. It ran on and off for ages. While never great, there was at least a sense of care and craft that went into it.
