Peter David
I think he's written some good comics. But his internets antics have soured me on him for life.

I like Kerouac. To me, he just seems like a regular Joe who tried to have some adventures and hang out with interesting people and have parties and get by on minimum wage jobs and experience a little bit of America's wilderness in his twenties.

Jesus Christ. The song's not called, "Just Imagine and Don't Do Anything Else." It's about something to work towards.

Yes, even if you didn't like Roseanne (which is surorising because it was damned good), Goodman was solid throughout. What's with the hate?

If this is what I have to look forward to from this feature,
by which I mean hugely imaginative, dark, demented masterpieces that I'd never heard of before, then please don't ever cancel it. Obviously it's not going to be popular because people just don't read anymore, but I'm sure you all knew that going in.

Often Posts, that sentence is wordy and poorly constructed, but it is not a run on.

My favorite T. Wolf quote:

This is the fucking useless society that we live in—the kind that thinks that actually getting some exercise, god forbid, six times per week is overtraining.

Oh, I think on a nude beach I could carry two sodas in my hands and a dozen donuts…

the book
I'm on p 109 and I'm liking it.

Second that. Jesus, how had I never listened to Gram Parsons? Since reading your articles, I now own several albums worth of his stuff and goddam it's right up my alley.

I haven't read the book, but if the movie, which opens with a a rape joke, is the sanitized version, then wow.

He had a nice little appearace on Conchords season 1.

Miyazaki's Females
Can I add how great I think it is that Miyazaki has made so many films featuring women who solve most of their problems on their own using their wits instead of violence.

Well, that's ironic, because in Seaguy, Morrison is directly stating that fanboy entitlement and refusing to let corporate properties evolve and grow are THE problem with popular comics. Check out the scenes in Seaguy set in Mickey Eye Park. Look at the rides where people are trapped, just going round and round…

Not comics, but Anansi Boys, Good Omens, and the Graveyard Book are definitely worth your time.

I liked Final Crisis. It is dense and cerebral and puzzling and requires the reader to do some work and thinking, but it's also full of superhero "fuck yeah" moments.

I don't know about all of the symbols, but once you start thinking about the story as a comic book character who is trapped in a world that is dictated by his corporate license-owning bosses who refuse to let the character learn or change or grow and thus everything must be reset back to status quo at the end of every…

Well, alot of posters have been commenting on the odd "Japanicity" of the film that adds to the sense of wonder, but isn't this film really just a classic heroe's journey (always a metaphor for leaving childhood behind and emerging as an adult)?

If you can get past the Scooby Doo look of the animation, Cagliostro is so great and so much fun. It inspired me to check out the Lupin manga, which, it turns out, is chock full of rape jokes!
