Guy Gardner: Voice Of The People
For all the hassles Mike has had to put up with from Moveable Type and other computer programs lately, Guy offers this bit of encouragement from the MD fanbase: Hutch here. The popup isn’t working right…which actually makes it all the funnier, so I’m not going to fix it.

Retconning: Unoriginal, Inexplicable, and Frustrating (usually)
http://www.websnark.com/archives/2008/01/retconning_just_1.html Interesting blog post by Eric Burns about the various types of retconning and their risks. This is all inspired by the recent Spidey/MJ “divorce” by Mephisto. Incidentally, I accidentally bought the issue when Mephisto makes the offer to Peter & MJ (the issue before the retcon actually happens). It was an accident because I …

Testing the waters
I’ve had some problems posting tonight. Javascript-related. Whenever I went to the “New Entry” page, my Firefox would crash. What I did was disable my add-ons…and sure enough, here I am writing and posting without problem. Next step is to turn them all on one-by-one and see which one it is that is wrecking the …

Cloverfield: Shaky disaster of a disaster, or Godzilla-sized important?
Cloverfield is tanking. With the excellent trailer and all the hype, it looked to be a boffo blockbuster. The first weekend pulled in huge numbers. Most critical reaction was positive. However, negative word of mouth from all who left the theater at the end (or before the end in order to puke from motion sickness) has brought …

Smile For The Camera Pretty Bird
Black Canary will be making her Smallville debut Feburary 7 in an episode called “Siren”. Here are some pics showing her in costume. The costume itself isn’t bad. The fishnets are there (a must), the “bodysuit” is similar to her current comic book version (although it’s a little modified), and the jacket looks good as do the …

24′s President Woman
I was skimming Bob Waters’ blog finding his fevered article begging the universe and God to not let it be true that Jack Bauer has been recast with Keanu Reeves. Apparently he found a practical joker-altered Wikipedia entry that made the claim. Naturally it wasn’t so, but when I was skimming Wikipedia’s 24 article I …

A Public Appeal to DC Comics: Please Publish the Complete Last Laugh!
Recently, DC Comics announced that “Joker: The Last Laugh” was finally going to be published in Trade Paperback form. This is a long overdue trade. As Chuck Dixon (one of its co-writers) has often noted publicly, the book outsold “Our Worlds At War” at the time. It was published right away as a trade paperback …

The Down Side Returns To Burnhamania
Well, count my first post in quite some time to be of a personal/selfish nature — the Down Side is back. There’s been plenty of demand (well, more than I expected, anyways.) I’ve only lacked an “easy” way to return the strip… and I’ve found that with the excellent ComicsPress blog system (via WordPress.) I …

I Would Be His Neighbor
I first saw the below clip in one of my first film classes a couple years ago. I don’t remember the context of the discussion at all, but I do remember wanting to cry when we watched it. Mr. Rogers is the butt of a lot of jokes in contemporary pop culture, and even though …
