Disclaimer: Apologies if I bang on about something you've come across these before and of course I'll think of dozens more examples as soon as I hit send.

I just don't understand it, I mean, The Rock is his cousin, isn't that enough?

Ales Kot seems like someone whose writing I should like, but whose writing instead leaves me either completely cold or kinda annoyed. I hate the references and the naming of characters after "important people" and I've just given up. It makes me feel old (I am old) because if this is popular and good then I just don't…

I completely agree about Lemire. I picked up Essex County when it came out and thought it was wonderful. I've not read anything of his since that hit that same height. I really wanted "Sweetooth" to go somewhere and it didn't so I did.

Every single interview with Alan "Thanks for Watchmen " Moore I've read on the past five years, no matter what the actual topic, seems to take the following format:

Maybe it's because so many of To's other films are outstanding that this seemed really lacklustre by comparison. I also though Hallyday's performance was distractingly wooden.

Roxette are Swedish, like AoB and ABBA, and like Max Martin who wrote what seems like every single song ever.

Yes, except Vengence isn't a very good film, let alone a good Johnnie To film.

I don't read too many singles any more, but I'm keeping up with Southern Bastards and I'm finding Aaron's storytelling to be utterly singular. It's akin to Scalped, but unlike his more mainstream books (the few I've read, anyway). It's disjointed and definitely trying to create a whole greater than the sum of its…

I read this over the weekend. Thanks for the heads up. I'd been a bit down on the last few Morrison books I've read, they just did scratch that itch, but this was him absolutely on form.

For use with a tray-style player I had an adaptor from another 3" CD - they weren't common, but they weren't rare.

At least your version had all the songs on the same CD. Mine came with the little 3" disk containing "Physical" and "Suck". After numerous house moves, fuck knows where that thing is now. Guess I'll never hear those songs again.

Silly me, I forgot I was on the internet, carry on!

Have you heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? If you take it in reverse, once you get past food and shelter, things start looking pretty grim.

Michael Bay would offer you a counterpoint, but he can't hear you over the sound of all his money.

A couple of people have mentioned the film, but the announcer is straight out of "Better Off Dead".

Brit: I were proper pissed last night.
Septic: Why were you angry?
B: Huh? I was drunk.
S: Oooh, so you're an angry drunk.

I actually had to look him up and realised that, yes, that's the guy who managed to be less charismatic than CGI and more bland than the green screen against which he was acting.

Comics can be the most adventurous medium through which to tell narrative stories and lend themselves to several unique storytelling devices, most of which aren't very well utilised in superhero comics - or when they are it makes them difficult to translate to the screen - think of how much was lost from Watchmen by…
