Swag
I had a nice Christmas, for the most part. I got a print of Van Gogh's "Wheatfield With Crows", the fourth volume of the Absolute Sandman collection, Christopher Titus "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" comedy album and a shotgun mic that will hopefully make future episodes of Comics Are Awesome sound a bit better. As well as some assorted stocking ( Read more... ) -
JD Presents "Comics Are Awesome!"
So a couple months ago I posted a bit about the increased presense of web video series and how it's been eating more and more of my time. I also hinted at my own idea for a web review series. I can now officially announce the "launch" of Comics Are Awesome. It will serve as a home for me to post my views and reviews on anything comic book related. ( Read more... ) -
In which JD tries to buy back in
I think that the website I was ordered my video camera from (photovideosuperstore.com) might be a scam site. My credit card hasn't been charged, but orders were supposed to be processed in 24 to 48 hours and that was Saturday, even allowing for the weekend that means by today it should have been processed and it hasn't. I then (admittedly later ( Read more... ) -
In which JD sells out
So normally around this time of year I post a wrap up of the tv season. And while I might still do that at some point in the future, I don't have as much to say because, frankly, I haven't watched as much tv this year. There's still a few shows I would go out of my way to catch, Lost, Glee, etc, but Netflix makes most tv easy to catch up on if you' ( Read more... ) -
I Am Iron Man, Too
Let’s face it, sequels are hard. When you make a really good film, usually everything is neatly tied up at the end and when you revisit it in a sequel, it often comes across as forced or contrived. There are some really good sequels and some, like Batman’s Dark Knight, that even surpass the original, but it’s not as easy as it might seem to be ( Read more... ) -
I'm going to Gallifrey
Yesterday I paid the registration fee to go to the Gallifrey One convention next year. This is the biggest Doctor Who convention in the country. I'm really excited. I've done some comic conventions here locally, but I've never gone to what is considered a major convention. Of course there is a bit of a difference in numbers from a comic convention ( Read more... ) -

Doctor Who and the Eleventh Hour
Hello once again faithful reader.
Once again I fail to return to my Kevin Smith series of reviews, but being the utter Doctor Who fanboy I am (I am quite likely going to the Gallifrey One convention next year in LA!), I have different Smith discuss. Matt Smith is the eleventh Doctor now and his first episode premiered last Saturday in Britain ( Read more... ) -
Comics, Kevin and (faux) comas
I fully intended to get at least one more film in my series of Kevin Smith flashbacks over the weekend, but well, I’m very, very lazy ( Read more... )
