Bingo. If pushed, I’ll concede that he’s not that bad of an artist. He’s certainly gotten better than he used to be. The problem is that he’s such a self-promoting showboat, and having come of age in the early 90s, it’s hard for me to get past my image of him (no pun intended) as one of the guys who damn near ruined…

I have a special loathing for Todd McFarlane and his ridiculously over-the-top art. Not Rob Liefield-level loathing, but close. That being said, the first movie was decent. Not great, but watchable, largely because Spawn was an interesting character. Largely removing said character from his own movie, while not…

Saved the link. I’ll read it when I get a spare moment, thank you!

Worse, actually. Because as bad as that was, the guy at least had some external stimulation and some mobility. But yeah, that was pretty awful too.

The wife was a side story used to build up tension, but when you thought about it later, you realize exactly how horrific her fate was. Everyone else who went through the jaunt conscious eventually came out of it and back into regular reality. She never did. She was stuck in “hyperspace” or whatever essentially for…

Ha! It’s not a great movie, but I loved it anyway.

That’s the one. Because of the hyperspace effect, what was actually a few seconds seemed almost like an eternity to the kid, and all he saw was blank white the whole time. Also, you can’t move at all—you’re stuck in whatever position you had when you went in. The wife was shoved into that teleportation device while…

Damn sure looks like King to me, but I’m sure you’re right. Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stephen King does have another man’s face . . . in the freezer in his basement. ;)

Not even close, Zach. The worst death in any King story is the fate of the wife who is murdered by her husband in the short story The Jaunt. If you’ve read it, even though that murder is not the main focus of the story, you will know exactly why it is worst death of all time in any King story, and probably any horror…

Is that Stephen King playing the pharmacist in the trailer? Too quick to tell.

Ah, Slayer. Dead Skin Mask still creeps me the hell out.

But he’s died and been reborn since then. Things may have changed.

I’m a little fuzzy on Westerosi law, but even if they married, that doesn’t mean they have to consummate it and make babies, does it? Targaryens are known to marry more than one spouse. Both of them being Targaryen, they could take a true partner and still remain married. Of course, Jon still doesn’t know he’s half…

He’s good. I’m definitely checking out more of his videos and might subscribe myself.

And here’s my version of Ares, the Greek equivalent to Mars, from a few years back.

Addendum: actually, according to this informative video, the tritone was never banned in the Middle Ages. It just wasn’t used very much. So I don’t know any more. But it is a dissonant.

If you really want to get into some musical weirdness, look up the tritone paradox. Tritones are pretty bizarre on their own. Remember: they were actually banned in the Middle Ages because they were believed to summon the devil, no joke. Hence their nickname, the devil’s interval (Diabolus in Musica in Latin). So,…

Yep. This article is designed to piss people off. It’s completely meaningless.

Eh, it went for the low-hanging fruit often enough. It just managed to transcend those tropes a good deal of the time. If this show manages the same, I’ll be happy.

Oh, damn. If Groening does for fantasy with this what he did for sci-fi with Futurama, it will be another slam dunk. I’m betting on lots of Game of Thrones and Harry Potter references.
