Since I missed last week, I just wish to briefly address the “Will was voted off so this show is bullshit because the best dancer never wins” whining that arose around the internets. (Okay, TWOP, but big shock there.) Firstly, the best dancer has at least won once (Benji in season two – yes, he [...]

Andrew Klavan had a truly batshit (that’s a pun, there won’t be more) editorial in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend in which he argued that The Dark Knight vindicates the Bush administration as noble heroes, left to defend a world that doesn’t understand them. It’s absurd on its face, of course- Batman is [...]

I am about to invent a new drink, or possibly bake a very oddly shaped cake. I shall call it “Death by Saturn”. Fudge will be involved somewhere, although where I shall procure it on a Friday night in the middle of the crime-ridden ghetto I call home I am uncertain. Part of my job [...]

Lots of (well deserved) drooling, lots of controversy. My particular favorite note came from Galleycat, which said: “Remember earlier this week, when a well-placed [...]

If you read comics blogs at all (I do not quite qualify this here site as a “comics blog” because it is so, so much more than that, he said modestly) you know that this upcoming weekend is the San Diego Comic Convention, nerdvana for the masses, and that every comics blogger who is any [...]
