I want to so badly, but I think were still conservatively about five years out on that one.

Both, I think. She definitely thinks girl clothes are just a lot more interesting than boys clothes, and she's at the stage in her humor development where nothing is funnier than opposites.

Aw, thanks a ton. I really appreciate it! And it is a damn fine pencil, right?

Behind the scenes fun-fact!
I was completing this illustration when my seven-year-old came into my office to see what I was working on. I couldn't adequately express the concept of "pop-culture New Years resolutions" to her, so I said I was doing a drawing for people who wrote about what they want to see more of on TV

Yes!

There really must be something to this Dark Side stuff. Every public personality I know who feeds on hate is seemingly immortal despite subsisting entirely on prescription meds and beef tallow.
Meanwhile, those who actually offer something of themselves to the world are hurt for it. The Dark Side is not more powerful;

I think Jesse will be just fine. In fairness, I don't hate the prequels as much as most folks do. They're not great film making by any stretch, but I like elements. Episode 2 did some cool stuff, but it's greatest crime was the most unconvincing love story ever put to film. You can't base a relationship off of

He is Jewish, which may make the upcoming administration untenable even for an utter scumbag like him.

They're the Travelling Wilburys of terrible people!

I don't hate the prequels as much as others, but even the most vocal critic has to agree if there's anything worth salvaging from the prequels, it's an evil lava planet.

I'm still getting wedgies.
"I'm a cultural guardian," I yell. And yet, here I remain, dangling from the goal posts by the over-taxed elastic of my underpants.

I assume Darth Vader built his castle on Mustafar because there'd be no better way to hone and maintain the hatred Sith use to focus their powers than living at the site of your greatest defeat.

If this were 2014, Transistor would definitely have been my choice. Jen Zee, the lead illustrator, is a marvel and the game manages to improve in every way on her work for the lovely Bastion.
The chunky, Tron-style tech rendered in bright gem tones is a very 'now' indie game look, and one that both these titles share.

Oh, no doubt. I'm certain you've read some of his Mr. A stuff? Long, impenetrable screeds of objectivist horseshit, only broken up long enough to show the hero allowing a criminal to die.

Which, hilariously, was obvious to everyone but Snyder.

This is exactly it. I think of the fight scene with Silk Spectre and Owlman in the alley against the thugs as being the single greatest reveal that Snyder had no clue what the comic was about.
To whit:
Watchman comic: Violence begets violence :(
Watchman movie: Violence begets violence :D

300 is one of the most terrible popcorn films ever made. You can't have a a protagonist brag about how their weak children are fed to wolves in one scene, only to have him cradle the body of a dead child he never knew and certainly didn't care about halfway through the movie as tearful call to vengeance just to get

Yeah, he composes and frames scenes well. They're lovely, but airless little vignettes. I was fooled into thinking he knew what he was doing for a while because of that, but there's only so long you can watch his propped up storefront buildings approach to film making before you realize its just a couple of 2x4's

Zack Snyder prides himself on having a thoughtful, nuanced understanding of heroes, their mythical foundations and the grand themes they can embody in the modern psyche, but even if that self-assessment were true, he's incapable of sharing any of it with the audience, because the only language he speaks fluently is

I only have access to the episodes available on Hulu, but if the most recent season is maintaining the quality of the ones I've seen, that would for sure be my pick. It's the one show absolutely everyone in my family (barring the one year-old, who remains indifferent) can agree on.
