Good luck to him in Brazilian prison. I’m sure his crime and his outlandish hair and beard color will let him slide under the radar for the duration of his hopefully very long sentence.

That’s cool, I never say “Wrecking Ball”, it’s HAMMOND, dammit! 

I am sure not the only one that crushed on Leslie Mann after George of the Jungle. How Judd Apatow was able to get her to say yes in 1997 is a question for the universe.

There’s an alternate timeline where all those stunts don’t fuck him up and where Philip Berk doesn’t grope him and I wonder, in that timeline, what his arc would have been.

Ironically, The Blind Banker was incredibly sensitive and nuanced in its portrayal of visually impaired financial experts.

all this brendan fraser talk really has me itching to revisit ‘blast from the past’ and the extremely fun airheads.

Seeing this reminds me how glad I am that they sanitized Tintin for the CGI movie years back. That shit got friggin’ RACIST.

I read it as a possible take on Shuma-Gorath, personally:

Its centered on white women who flex their white privilege, please, let's unpack how using 'Karen' is destroying white women everywhere.

I imagine she’d be recognized more if she’d had other high-profile roles, but most of us have only seen her looking like this:

C.I.Ape sounds like the kind of movie Homer would watch during “Big Gorilla Week.”

I miss Drew Struzan.

For many years, Marvel would include a statement on paychecks telling employees that by endorsing their checks, they’d automatically forfeit any and all rights to the characters and stories they’d created. Wanna eat this month? Okay, but that Wolverine guy you created as a one-off villain for a Hulk issue now belongs…

I absolutely agree, and I’d be thrilled to see comic writers and artists take a few hundred million bucks out of Disney/WB shareholders’ pockets. I feel especially bad for the creators in the 60s-80s, for whom creator-owned options simply did not exist.

“Kotaku contacted Neon Giant but didn’t hear back before publication.”

This seems a little dressed up journalistically for an online blog. Publication is whenever Kotaku feels like uploading. That contact could have been 5 minutes before the button was pushed or 5 days. The reader has no idea, so what are you telling…

It’s been largely understood that most creators at the Big Two and in mainstream comics are generally “work-for-hire” contractors who have no ownership of the intellectual property they create for the publishers.

by comparisons, journalists who work for many (most) major publications belong to a Writers Guild that protects their interests when articles they have written and published are adapted into other media. There is no such equivalent union for comics writers

Could have kept this one in the drafts.

It’s funny, it’s the first game where in my mid-30s, I started to feel like an old-man-gamer where the building mechanic in the midst of a BR was just one plate too many to spin in battle for me and could never get the hang of it. And then I watch my 8-year-old nephew juggling everything easy-peasy and get 1st place…
