I'm not a fan of subtitles for a lot of reasons. Something disorienting happens when you re trying to decipher read and absorb visuals simultaneously. And whatever that effect is, saying it sticks closer to a filmmakers intention is a load of bull. So, while dubs can be a travesty, they keep yer attention focused more…

KFC vs. FFC
From the looks of the photo on TMZ, the Flagship Flavor Flav foray is located in a former "Long John Silvers." Take that for what it's worth. I don't know what it's worth.

Maybe it's "Opposite Day"?
At best, I've skimmed over White's stuff in the past, but this makes his opinions sound a lot more interesting than they usually are. In the olden days, the Village Voice always kept at least one contrarian columnist in the mix (Nat Hentoff usually assumed that role, if memory serves) and…

Pretend you never heard about it (it's on YouTube.) It's an awful, cheap Flash animation that's incredibly bad; even by the usual internet-only Flash-animated standards.

Very NICE
So Cohen playing Freddie Mercury was just a dream I had?

Kudos to Mr. VanDerWerff
THAT was an excellent read. Especially considering it's covering a subject that is endlessly (mockingly) referenced in websites like the AV Club, yet seldom given serious consideration or scholarship. This should be a book. That said, I never really got the fuss over "Frank's Place." It never…

I am Banksy
I am Bansky.

NO on Journey; YES on Hall & Oates. Sorry.

Three years? Well then.

Why?
Web-i-sodes?

OK, I think I get it now. I wasn't hip to "on the reg" being some sort of catchphrase. I think it's a little early for "on the reg" to take a spot in the lexicon.

WTF?
Someone please explain what this sentence means:
"provided neocon boners on the reg with 24"

Yikes?
Jeez, these guys are getting awfully poppy and hooky. That damn song has been stuck in my head for an hour. I can't wait to see them covered on "Glee." I think the next step is the I.C.P. making a jump from most-hated to ironically-listened-to and finally full-blown un-ironic hipster embracing. Don't laugh, it…

I second that notion. But isn't calling Wally Wood "an inker" a bit insulting? (You can insert your own Kevin Smith-style rant about inkers here.) I liked Wood's inking because it made the pencils look like Wally Wood. But the dude could draw! (and also swipe, trace and copy like a madman…but that's a whole 'nother…

New Eisner Biography out now…
Just saw this new Eisner biography in the library:

OK, I'll take that criticism. And while nobody wants to see a dead infant, most people have laughed at dead baby jokes. For what it's worth I'm going to watch some of the Amos 'n' Andy TV episodes as soon as I'm done deconstructing all four seasons of "Sgt. Bilko."

I find the Amos 'n' Andy television show quite funny and well-crafted. And for the record, I did not say or imply "Blacks didn't have the ability to register their disgust" (you put it in quotes.) That's a demeaning statement and trying to attribute it to me is a logical fallacy that tends to diminish any credible…

The original incarnation of Amos 'n Andy was voiced by white guys. That doesn't seem overly progressive.

I don't think the intention of Amos 'n' Andy was to demean people. But it obviously did demean people who didn't have a lot of options available at the time for rebuttal. I think in contemporary parlance, most folks would consider Amos 'n Andy racist — or at least so far over the wrong side of political correctness,…

I'm waiting for one those semi-annual local newspaper stories proclaiming: "Bam! Pow! Zowie! Comics Aren't Just for Kids Anymore!" Featuring an interview with Stan Lee and a quote about some upcoming superhero movie from that guy in the comic book store.
