Err, all his comics in that era were covered by the Comics Code. Do I have to show you the covers?

I do wish all the Venom fans upset at the PG-13 rating would think back to his heyday, when all his appearances were in titles covered by the Comics Code.

One thing the DCAU did very well was explore how much of a total knob Batman could be, only to retreat on a regular basis because, of course, he’s also fandom’s favourite Mary Bat-Sue.

I’m all in favour of sport fans being devoured by hungry alien symbiotes. It’s probably the only interesting thing that will ever happen to them.

Alas, poor Buttons.

Since 2005, Doctor Who has been in the grip of its own fans’ cultural cringe. It doesn’t matter who plays the Doctor, be it Matt Smith, Jodie Whittaker, or Tom Baker’s very own Talking Cabbage. What matters is that the show is an ongoing wasted opportunity that can’t quite stop repeating Who V’s wangst/crap formula,…

This may well be how many of us die. So be it.

Sexist oafs tend to be the biggest whingeing prats.

You mean comics which were founded by any number of marginalised Jewish creators, and which embodied the liberal politics you so despise?

Everything’s political. When someone says they don’t like their entertainment to be political, what they mean is that they are either apathetic, or they don’t want their (right wing) politics challenged.

Tiger Woods is a case study in how some people live far too long.

MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD:

You can pretend the shit-pipe isn’t there. But it is there, spewing out shit, everywhere.

I wasn’t, and nor were many of my friends.

aren’t all white people indoctrinated as racists in America?

Nothing particularly revelatory, but nothing too opaque. It was an informative but carefully rehearsed sales pitch.

How very American/gormless of you.

Never let it be said that the cats aren’t getting any action:

The lesson here is like so: Make films for the audience, not the fans. In fact, fuck the fans. They’re arseholes whose empty lives cannot be fulfilled except through monomania, hatred and entitlement. Encouraging them makes the bastards worse.

Unless Bynum was tip-toeing around the neighbourhood whilst wearing a flat cap, a bandit mask, a stripy long-sleeved shirt, and carrying a large bag with ‘SWAG’ written on it, I’m not sure she’s the burgling type, somehow.
