If you want to help him the artist, buy copies of his two books — Mom’s Cancer and Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow. Last I checked, there were still a few left over on Amazon.

I’m out. (Stacks chips, walks away)

Don’t let my enthusiasm for this oversell you on it, but I thought it was the best trilogy I’d read since Lord of the Rings. And no, not exaggerating.

That said, “vague as hell” is as good as any way to describe this beautiful tapestry of English and environmentalism.

In a short answer: yes.

I was excited until I saw the release date — the ass end of February is where the studio buries movies they really really don’t understand or like

I am still shocked that no one — NO ONE — at Fox thought to reboot FF a la “X-Men First Class” and set the damn thing where it belonged: in the early 1960s. It would have been faithful to the original, could have utilized the comic book colors without appearing anachronistic, and would have tapped into the love for…

No, seriously: after 80 crappy minutes, when it looked like the filmmakers might be gearing up for a big finish, I turned to my friend and said “finally, this stupid movie is getting into gear.” And with the word “gear” still hanging in the air, they cut to credits.
