Mad Scientist time and for this one I’m taking from a more esoteric character and book, Prodigy from New X-Men.

He’s had both of these powers, and it’s a nice little take on telepathy, but basically Prodigy’s first power set was he instantly acquired the skills (not abilities) of anyone around him.  Therefore he had access to Wolverine’s combat ( Read more... )

“Nose Goes” should be a full and binding legal precedent for any and all occasions.  I don’t care if it’s who should go get the next round, drive to the mall, or defuse the bomb.  If your nose is the last to be touched by your finger you have to go and fight the pit bull guarding your car.

If you elect me Emperor of the World, this will be my second ( Read more... )

Army of Two is a great example of how important a little TLC is to things like movies and games.  Halo shines so damn bright because what the hell was Bungie before it?  The game put them on the map, and made it one of the most important developers in North America.  You can argue quality, but you can’t deny that after Goldeneye lost its luster, ( Read more... )

Why would Jet Li and Jackie Chan wait until now to collaborate?

Could you imagine if they did something like this ten years ago?  Or maybe fourteen years ago when they were both fresh off Fist of Legend and Drunken Master 2 aka Legend of Drunken Master?  Both movies had extremely well done fight scenes with little to no wires.  Both men were in ( Read more... )

This is a cop-out entry.

It’s yard work season again, and I’ll be spending between eight and twelve hours a week on my headphones.

YOU need to recommend me some music.  Don’t worry about matching up to my tastes, that’s part of the problem.  I’m sick to death of my CD collection, so please recommend me some new stuff.

Please try to be descriptive.  ( Read more... )

A small week, but full of some great comics.  As someone who is trying to come up with dialogue that doesn’t sound trite, over wrought, or clichéd as balls, I both love and hate Ed Brubaker and Greg Pak.  Brubaker does real world gritty dialogue that doesn’t sound like a white boy slumming it, and Pak manages to have a story with mythical beings ( Read more... )

Spaghetti, or as it’s known in the pre-K ‘hood, pasghetti, is a seemingly simple dish of meat, sauce, and noodle.  It is a staple across kitchens not in only homes filled with small children, but also with bachelors in the hope of luring unsuspecting women into their hovel in the hopes of making small children.

Spaghetti is a rare dish in that it’ ( Read more... )

Nearly seventy days in, and I’m starting to think about making a few things a permanent fixture week to week.  Mad Scientist, comics reviews, something about cooking, and maybe a review or something with the summer movie season officially starting May 2nd with Iron Man’s flick coming out for all of us to enjoy.

Anyway, Mad Scientist time, and I can’ ( Read more... )

 
A solid, solid, solid week and it gets three “solid’s” because while there wasn’t a lot of amazing stuff, each issue is setting up their arcs for a spectacular finish.  A month or two from now all of these issues are going to pay off big.

Booster Gold #8 - It’s amazing how good this series is.  Booster Gold, as a character, is a fucking joke.  He’s ( Read more... )

I should be firing a Tommy gun into the side of an exploding camper right now.

Then a light breakfast followed by putting .50 caliber slugs into an old pick-up truck.

This is the worst Saturday, ever.

Hey, at least it’s miserable and cold outside, too.  Great Spring, everybody.  Go team.

Woooo.
