I’m not an avid reader of PvP Online, but ever since Michael started posting tidbits and links to it I’ve stopped by every couple weeks or so when I’m bored to see if there’s anything entertaining. Today I stumbled across yesterday’s strip, which makes fun of Provo, Utah, the city where I currently reside! I …

Taking place after BATMAN: …

Glad I wasn’t committed to going to WizardWorld
I got laid off today. No warning whatsoever, no gossip, no rumors…just having a great day, with my parents visiting tonight and planning to take Friday off to spend with them…and all of a sudden I get the phone call. “Can you meet with Renae at 2:40?” Me: “Okay, sure. What’s this concerning?” “…She’ll tell …

“They Fly! They frickin’ fly!”
I can’t help it but think of that quote from 2005′s “The Cave” when I watched the trailer for The Descent. This new movie looks interesting, and it’s incredible that they’ve made a film with an all-female cast. And to give them credit where credit is due, that poster is one of the most artistic, …

It Came From A Test Tube!
Wanna watch a fun little movie? Coke Brown a friend of mine just posted a student film he had a hand in in his wayward youth and for having no budget and a really green cast it actually is a fun little film. Coke co-wrote and co-directed it and it has some great lines and …

KISTLER PRESENTS: Alternate CRISIS ending?
So I was talking to my friend Glenn Hauman and he told me of a story he heard from someone who has spoken to Chris Claremont on a couple of occasions. And Glenn told me that this guy told him quite an interesting tale as to Chris Claremont’s suggestion for an alternate ending to THE …

Alan Kistler’s Profile On: CAPT. AMERICA & BUCKY!
There are some characters who are very tricky. Some like Spider-Man or Wolverine can be either good or kinda lackluster depending on the writer. Some like Superman are of a far more precarious bent. They will either be VERY good or just plain DULL depending on whether or not the writer gets it. Not whether …

More on The Hoff
Tying in to the music video I posted earlier, apparently there is good reason as to why the Hoff portrays himself with horns and flame: David Hasselhoff is the AntiChrist.

Don’t Hassle the Hoff
This is probably the scariest thing I’ve ever watched. But heck, it’s a little fun and I do believe that the Hoff is actually making fun of himself in this video. Whatever you do, just grit your teeth and watch it through the end because the image of the Hoff as Satan is something that …

Everybody dance now! Is it fair for me to laugh at this guy when he’s actually quite good? Way better than I can dance, that’s for sure.
