On election night from 10PM-3AM (central time), Adult Swim will have a Phil Ken Sebben Marathon celebrating one of the funniest characters on “Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law”. For some reason, Adult Swim’s schedule is coming up blank, and when I try to see Harvey Birdman on the schedule it lists all the shows on …

Halloween Horror Movie List
Here’s that list of horror movies I promised. Dog Soldiers – A band of Scottish marines go into the deep woods on a military wargame and encounter a pack of werewolves. Taking refuge in an isolated home, they use military tactics to fight off the monsters. A gory, freaky, FUNNY movie with a terrific surprise …

Oh, a perfect January movie
Hide and Seek looks like it will be the perfect Halloween movie to watch this weekend. That creepy girl is just the spookiest thing this side of “The Ring.” Whose idea was it to release this thing in January? I guess we have to content ourselves with Saw for Halloween. On Saturday, I will post …

Well, it’s got Batman!
This comic has Batman and Spoiler, but it’s not what you think: Spoiler

Election decorum and our link content
Well, I had to do something I don’t like to do. I had to actually perform a bit of censorship and remove Seth’s second link in his post which pointed to a site scaremongering about the draft. Why? For one thing, there was nothing comic book, movie or general geek-newsy about it. While certain deviations …

My favorite classic book
If you’ve not read Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court,” or like my friend Robert (for whom I post this link) haven’t even heard of it, you need to buy it. It is a prototypical sci-fi/fantasy story, written before anyone ever talked of “time machines” or “rips in space/time”, which is why …

FallCon 2004 Report #1: Nice Guy Finishes Art
You know what? Every time I try to get the gumption to do my FallCon 2004 recap I shrivel, because it’s a big undertaking and it makes me want to put it off. So I’ve decided to just post little bits and pieces as they come to me, some big, some small. I have to …

Too late for DVD sets
If you didn’t take advantage of the FOX DVD box set sales, you’ll have to hope that they have one again. It appears to be over.

Eric Spratling is a marketing genius!
Not since Kramer pitched the apartment that was “all levels” have I heard such a unique design idea as Eric Spratling’s Chairway. Let the record show (for the patent office’s reference) that this was pitched on October 20/2004.

Overlooked media controversy of the week
I’ve been too sick and busy this last week to comment on much of anything in comics, media or other geeky stuff, and I apologize for that. I’m going to try to do my best to improve my posting rate over this next week, and I hope the other contributors will as well. One media …

I finally finished!
Phew! After a week of stuffy noses and headaches, I finally finished and posted my “Team America: World Police” review over on the Reviews section. Now to do my convention report from FallCon…

Luann hits a sad note
Is Aaron Hill really moving away from Luann? What’s with all the guys leaving this strip? I like Luann, but this soap opera goes on forever, especially when every subplot takes a week or two to play out and then may not be revisited for months. I’m still waiting to see what happens with Brad …

Ask and ye shall receive!
I was just talking with my brother about how I wish they’d put the 1980s version of the Twilight Zone on a box set. Bingo! Twilight Zone:80′s Season 1 Now, as long as my wishes are being fulfilled, I’d like Special Edition DVDs of So I Married an Ax Murderer, Searching for Bobby Fisher, Without …

Yep. Mm-hm.
Well, gol-dang. Good thing I didn’t buy that King of the Hill DVD set yet. Turns out that that Amazon site is now selling it, along with a buncha them other Fox box sets like Simpsons, Buffy, Angel, Roswell and 24 and such, for only $15! I tell you what…Bill paid $55 for that Buffy …

And even more pages!
NEWSARAMA has the NEXT three pages of Identity Crisis to preview, as well as an unobscured look at the cover which reveals who is next to die. By the way, I have a workable theory as to the identity of Sue’s killer, although it makes me sick to my stomach: It’s Ralph.

3-page preview of Identity Crisis #5
Click to see a three page preview from PopCultureShock I’m so anxious for this issue. Today I walked into Jimmy Jams comics, beat down from a hard day at work. Mark, behind the counter, looked at me. I said, “I’m just here to pick up my comics.” He said, confused: “It’s Tuesday.” Bad enough I’m …

Seriously…how do I sign up?
Just finished watching The Biggest Loser on NBC, and now that I’ve seen it I have to second what I said earlier: it’s the first good reality show I’ve seen, and how do I sign up?

What I’m watching
*breathe in* Ahhhhh. *breathe out* Phewwwww. I think I’m finally over my cold. That means I need to get around to those belated posts on FallCon 2004 and my review of Team America. What else am I doing tonight? Watching the Biggest Loser, of course. The show I wish I could be on. I’m also …

Surprise!
There is one country whose independent films always generate the same question: “Is it supposed to be weird?” I honestly can’t tell if this is funny or weird…but it sure is German!

Much better, guys!
The new International Trailer for Robots is nowhere near as grating as the first one.
