Frank Miller, for all of his faults, knows how to tell a cohesive story. (I'll defend DKSA to my grave.) Neal Adams does not. Odyssey is pure gibberish. Amazingly drawn gibberish, granted.

I'm not saying the criticism wasn't valid. She was probably right on the mark. But what do you expect when you get a male director/producer to make a lesbian romance film?

I'm reminded of a recent Nerdist podcast where George R. R. Martin gave some advice to new authors who are offered tv and movie deals around their books: You can say "no." If you're not famous enough to demand and receive creative control, film and TV people WILL change or fuck up your work, so just decline. You have

Fair enough. I decided I was a lifer through the good episodes and bad after I started binge watching classic series stories during the off-season.

I'm imagining Kickstartr-esque proposals and goals defined by end users. Instead of just a donate button, volunteers that want to take part in project can join in at any time, with all instructions and work progress streamed straight to them. I can imagine much good and much mischief a system like this might ferment.

I'm not saying force her to watch all of Matt Smith if she's not digging him, but if she robs herself out of watching "The Girl Who Waited" it would be a shame, especially if she's into the Doctor's darker side and exploration of the consequences of time travel.

And Florida is a glut of shady prescription drug abuse.

I absolutely love these books. The world he builds is fantastic. The writing is beautiful. The mechanics are amazingly well thought out. Unfortunately I have to agree that as a whole, they're a bit of a mess. Second moreso than than the first, I think. The first felt more like a deconstruction of fantasy hero cliches

Yea, might be best to wait for a new showrunner before the genderswap* as I'm not sure if Moffat has any idea how to write for a woman lead. When that does point come my vote is still with Sue Perkins.

I think they only adjusted for inflation based on the on the old price instead of what the actual real estate cost would be.

Need to bring back the Proop-Dogg for at least an episode or two.

Okay, I get it, [celebrity] is an interesting person for some people. However, don't you think he/she has gotten her face on the main page a tad too often? There are other things going on in the world of [subject matter], [subject matter], etc. that I am sure we could be covering instead of him/her for the [hyperbole]

What, enjoy something something on its own value without bringing your personal emotional and intellectual baggage along with you? What do you think this is? Once you've decided you don't like someone you need express that deep abiding disgust each and every time they're mentioned in public. You need to let it affect

Welcome to the internet. Where doing or saying a shitty thing is etched in stone forever. Where being less than perfect is the same as being the worst person in the world. Where every puss filled scab you've ever had is picked open anew each time your name is mentioned where people can leave comments.

I wrote the following after reading one of these hand wringing pieces about my generation on NPR that frustrated the hell out of me. It's self indulgent and angry and kinda clumsy, yea, but if you can't write like this in your twenties, when can you?

Now playing

That Yoko remix album from 2007 is still one of my go-to jams for a least a few songs.

I stopped watching Family Guy because the creators treat all of the characters like shit. Yea, Meg is a punching bag, but all of the characters go through awful things for cheap laughs which don't matter by the time the commercial break is over. It's impossible to care about what happens to anyone on that show.

Seriously, they can't talk about how fucked up our state is. Only WE can talk about how fucked up our state is.

Dude, take some time off from the internet. You are drinking the MRA kool-aid hardcore.
