Bait and switch

This one goes out to all my nerds out there. There are few things as aggravating as seeing an artist you adore advertised on the cover only to find that 2 pages in they replace him with some generic art or not even inside at all. From Travis Charest's abrupt Wildcats end to Ed Mcguinness' Batman/Superman exodus mid page it has felt like being gypped when all you are left with is a mundane artist and a boring story. It's like going to see The Dark Knight and midway through Heath Ledger is replaced with Andy Dick. Click here to see the comic.

The Massacre After Thanksgiving

This year I have decided to spend my night after Thanksgiving in my warm comfy bed instead of in line behind Circuit City waiting for deals on DVDs and low quantity door buster destined to sell out shortly after the doors open. This year had little to offer anyway, the sales seem like afterthoughts instead of the super secret treats that entice the diehards into freezing their respective genitalia in wait.

Seeing Red Again

I have often wondered how hard it would be to be cyclops. Having to see through red tinted glasses would make life's easiest tasks more difficult. You can only see old 3D movies in 2D, you can't read the display on the alarm clock or even see Daredevil if he stood still. Pretty much the only cool thing is the ability to read those hidden picture things on the back of serial boxes...and the ability to shoot light from your eyes, that's pretty cool.

Child's Play

Random art pulled from the art file. I just liked this sketch because of its simplistic principle and fond memories of sloshing through puddles after a storm.

Tired of this crap.

I believe there is a secret war. A war against my four wheeled coach. A war that threatens to engulf the entire bird populous, united by hate for a Civic of Honda. This extends beyond the simplistic "ooh a bird crapped on my car" and goes ounces beyond that. Crafted bombs fall like clockwork while I slumber forming a rorschach of hardened poo on my cars white exterior. I don't know who started this, but I am told peace is removed from the table. I grow weary of this battle, but I have tricks, I have weapons of my own; a car cover approaches and with it, the end of war itself.

Terminat-or-die

I feel conflicted about the new Terminator film. Like a chocolate-coated turd, it all looks pretty till you take a bite. I like Christian Bale in his post apocalyptic ventures (yes I was one of eleven people who liked Reign of Fire) and I know he is more than capable of being believable while screaming at a cgi robot in a raspy voice. The main thing that bugs me is that it clings a little too much to the past in terms of design. It’s time for a refresh of the brand, a reboot if you must, so that the story will feel new and exciting again. New slick terminators, nano bots, transformers, I’m up for anything, just not another metallic skeleton with red eyes. And hey, I would even like to see a little more ending this time around. I know, weird, but if I have to sit through a long worded To Be Continued montage again I will be extremely unpleased. It’s getting a little tiring to see no finality in series (especially the TV series) where it seems to repeat itself on a constant basis (new terminator, fight terminator, find person or tech that started this whole mess, repeat). The only good thing I have heard is that Arnold hates the new cut, which inspires hope. It’s like a colorblind man reviewing a Santa Claus film and commenting how they got the color all wrong.

The Dark Knight PG version storyboard -EXLUSIVE!!!- (PIC)

I have often wondered while watching a movie how great it would be if they made a version that is suitable for all ages. Even going as far as making alternate scenes to specifically gory or profane scenes. They could then release a PG version alongside their useless "UNRATED" editions and tap into a whole new market. Then I got to thinking maybe that isn't such a good idea...
