First of all - YES. Meryl Streep is a great actress. Let’s set that straight.
But her long, varied career has been made possible because she is a blonde, white, reasonably attractive woman who is afforded the access, the luxury of having the pick of the litter when it comes to…

I’ve been sidelined for the past three days due to a particularly nasty case of salmonella poisoning (courtesy of Adam Good Sports Bar at the Tropicana Resort and Casino in Atlantic City - thanks guys!)...

A good look at both sides of the argument and what it means for creators. The best part was the reproduction of Steve Bissette’s reproduction of legal consultant Jean-Marc L’officier’s comments on the lasting impact of this settlement, primarily the belief that this guarantees that Disney will start handing out C&D letters to creators selling commissions of copyrighted...

If you feel like reading a lot of double speak and legalese, go check it out. If you don’t care for that kind of stuff, just read the end of the article, which I’ll reproduce right here:
Editor’s Note:
In the course of conducting this interview, CBR News asked a follow-up question as to Marvel’s policies towards its creators: “Finally, issues of legal ownership...

Man, I had this happen to me with both Reeves Superman movies, which were not anywhere near as good at 30-something as they were when I was 6 or so.
I will never understand anything beyond nostalgic love for Donner’s Superman flicks, honestly. I know people who watch those movies at least once a year...

it’s weird… you just keep freaking out for the entire moving going, “Wait… that’s Peewee Herman. *the ALIEN is Peewee Herman*.” How I missed that as a kid is beyond me.
That means Randal Kleiser worked with Paul Reubens TWICE.
Look at this Love. Connection.

Hey kids, comics! →
Here’s a copy of the lawsuit Tony Moore is dropping against Robert Kirkman over The Walking Dead. Knowing nothing about the evidence and reading only the first seven pages, or so…it seems like Tony is in the right.
It’s too bad - met both of these guys and worked with Tony twice. You hate to see shit come to this but, in the words of Little John from Robin Hood: Men In Tights,...

dan-hill replied to your post: You mentioned LOST a few times on the TV Zombies podcast. I got the distinct impression you disliked the ending…fair to say?
Hmm.Not sure I completely agree (ho ho ho).It’s like someone mentioned on the podcast,faith/religion etc was a HUGE part of BSG at the start and people forgot about it until the end then wigged out.It’s the same with LOST to an extent.Hail Sam...

This Rabbit Hole
Every so often I’ll click on someone who follows me and check out their blog. It’s rare, I usually reserve my blog-browsing for folks who interact with me, but every once and a while I say, “Why not?” Well, I’m going to start doing it more often after yesterday. Because this rabbit hole is…fantastic. Let me introduce you to…

That’s an odd sentence to type. But I decided to go ahead and believe the hype and I purchased 11/22/63 and I am enjoying it like a 15-year-old boy. I am remembering why I liked Stephen King back in the day - because he’s easy to read and, when he’s on-point, crafts a wonderful little gigantic story. I think I will continue to like this book, as long as there are no killer cars...

James Sturm: Marvel Comics’ Troubling Origins... →
James Sturm (The Golem’s Mighty Swing, Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow) has an article up on Slate that serves as a pretty good primer on the Jack Kirby/Jack Kirby’s Estate/Marvel/Disney saga. Marvel’s history of sucking creators dry for little compensation (except Stan Lee, of course) is well-documented and never disputed and no story captures the overall sense of...

On Al De Niro and Robert Downey Depp
I always was and always will be a fan of Heat. I was excited about this movie from the moment I learned about it, telling everyone who would listen, “It’s a Michael Mann film, which should be enough, but it’s the first time De Niro and Pacino will star in a movie together!” And, of course, some smart-ass would say, “What about Godfather II?” and I’d roll...

Some girls like flowers and butterflies and pink. Some girls love superheroes. Here’s how a Dad, artist and creator Mark Rodriguez, respected both his young daughters’ preferences given they had to share a room.
So awesome. For the record, some boys like superheroes AND butterflies. ;)
