depends on if you've read any Gaiman before and whether or not you enjoyed it. for someone as successful as he's been, he can be kind of polarizing with most of the people i know/spoken to either fans of pretty much anything he does or unable to appreciate anything attached to him. it's possible there are people out…

umm, don't sleep on the Gary Cole, man or woman of the internet - dude is a character actor treasure.

personally i think the problem with this kind of decision-making is that it never gives shows time to find an audience. how big did Breaking Bad get after showing up on Netflix for awhile? Captain Kirk and the Enterprise are iconic representations of Star Trek because they were in daily rotation for the better part of…

when did tolerance and empathy become justification for bigotry and ignorance? some shit is just objectively wrong and all the bullshit sel-delusion and petty justifications dont turn hatred, cruelity and plain mean-spiritedness into virtues.

Bernie Sanders won a bunch of the Democratic primaries outright, was far more competitive than anyone gave him any credit for and had a dedicated base of support all the way until the convention.

are these the same "ordinarily more reasonable right wing voters" that love to label "libtards" as "special snowlflakes"?

the two biggest things i heard from Trump voters (and I live in West fuckin Virginia, so I've heard from plenty) were that some of them were willing to take a chance on Trump despite all his negative qualities because, if even a fraction of the stuff he promised came through, it would be a huge improvement. (why they…

i still rock my Zune but it's on life-support. the battery is shot, so it only works when permanently plugged into the wall and i dropped it so many times that roughly 2/3 of the screen is covered in these black dots where the lights fail to shine… it was also a pain in the ass to remove music once you added it, so…

a dude in college gave a speech on Neil Young's various projects and included samples from TRANS which were a total revelation and kicked off my decision to reevaluate Neil Young, who i'd only known at that point from his handful of hits on classic rock radio - i thought it sounded like a lost Ministry album the first…

you forgot to mention that you're keeping the D20 they bounced over your fence.

my favorite part of that video was always the shot of the Goodyear blimp flying around with ICE CUBE IS A PIMP on the scrawl. i always thought it would be completely awesome to enjoy the same treatment except for how i never wanted to be a pimp and, well, UDJIBBOM IS A GORN (and/or owlbear) would just confuse 97% of…

i'm a white dude who has been reading comics about as long as it sounds like you have and, while i don't have to put up with the obnoxious "purity tests" women and others do, i'll just note that almost every comic shop i've ever been to visit eventually leads to some bullshit nerd cock measurement. "Oh, you're…

sucks you (or any of us) have to put up with that but, honestly, that's why i buy the books i don't just check out from the library over the internet. yeah, there are plenty of decent, welcoming local comic book stores out there and i'm all in favor of supporting them when you can find one.

i'd say the idea Steve Rogers is the only "REAL" Captain America is only part of it. as an illustration of what i'm talking about, take for example the ridiculous nonsense President Obama had to put up with.

i dunno - maybe because nobody has a grandparent who died in a concentration camp operated by dorks in plastic armor?

no complaints about the new AVC webpage layout? the AVCLUB bar at the top takes up a fuckin' inch+ of real estate just to remind me to log in and search for shit when i'm already logged in and reading something.

this is gonna sound preachy as fuck but… when people of conscience don't stand up and speak out in favor of ideals like fairness and respect, we're all diminished.

remember, tho, that DC has more than 80 years of backlog and Marvel has 50 years - they could easily repackage mammoth 10 or even 20 issue collections of stories that were written back when kids were still the primary target audience for most comics. there's no reason a book like that would need to cost more than five…

the Big Two, with their corporate ownership, could do plenty to increase their market share.

can't wait for the CAVE CARSON trade in July - probably the most anticipated book on my radar, aside from a new RAT QUEENS (and maybe the Jack Burton/Snake Plissken team-up book).
