This one probably explains where Dr. Girlfriend came from: This next one… um… WOW These next ones I believe are Korean and Chinese…

All-Superheroes Cable Channel?
Sadly, not an announcement. Just a dream. But it’s a good dream, and Sean Taylor has the line-up all ready to go.

You cannot parody Japanese commercials
The Simpsons had that very funny “Mr. Sparkle” ad, but really, what can you do to Japanese commercials that they don’t already do to themselves? Compare: The Mr. Sparkle ad actually appears linear and logical. Here’s Frank Calliendo parodying the trend of prestigous American actors doing Japanese commercials. Really…you can’t top the real thing with …

Review: “X-Files: I Want To Believe”
Perhaps, had I caught the new X-Files movie after a long drought of no entertainment, I may have liked it. Maybe. The fact that a few days ago I dragged out my dust-covered “Season Two” box set couldn’t have helped. To make things worse, earlier today we got to one of the best episodes ever: …

The most popular Halloween costume
When Erik and I were at Wizard World Chicago this year, we saw about 30 “Heath Ledger Jokers” walking around. That made this all the funnier: I’m just posting it here because it turns out Erik didn’t see it. Enjoy, buddy!

The Dark Snub
Dark Knight isn’t even in the running for Best Picture. This is a film so powerful, so well-made and artistic, that people who don’t like comic books think this is a great movie, and it’s made about a bajillion bucks. But the Oscars won’t honor it with a nomination. Steve Mason over at Big Hollywood …

Something to tide you over
I’m editing our first podcast. It’s an hour and a half long…at least, originally…so it’s taking me a while to repair all the little technical glitches and throw out the bits where my computer decided to only keep every third word out of my mouth. In the meantime, here’s something funny to keep you entertained: …

28 Very Weaks Later
Spoiler Warning for 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later I watched 28 Weeks Later tonight, hoping that it would surpass the original. Unfortunately, it suffered for the same reason that the original was ultimately unsatisfying. Both are great “zombie outbreak” films that are weakened by a deep hostility towards the military. The original is …

Good-Bye Khan
Ricardo Montalban died today. He was 88. Now let me tell you. He has done a variety of roles but the one I’ll remember him best in is my introduction to him, where he wore a a set of fake breasts yet still convinced all that he was stronger than sin. Of course, I’ll never …

He was not a number. He was a free man.
Patrick McGoohan, known for playing the Scarecrow/Dr. Syn, Danger Man, and of course, Number Six in The Prisoner, has passed away. More Here:

Mea Culpa!
I just discovered that our RSS feed over there on the right doesn’t work…and probably hasn’t worked in ages! All this time I was comforting myself that our visitors to the site were following our work via RSS. Sorry, everybody! Fixing that has just become a top priority for me.

Preview of Chuck’s G.I. Joe #1
Yet another comic that looks so good I wish I still lived near a comic store.

One step closer to my becoming Batman
I always thought it was stupid when Nightwing (in his Teen Titans days) or Spider-Man would glide around due to a tiny bit of webbing between their arms and torso….but it turns out, you can. Oh…you also need to have a brain the size of a schnauzer’s, apparently, so that you’re willing to get your …

Bill Willingham: Still Super, But Losing Some of the Hero
Breitbart and John Nolte (a/k/a “Dirty Harry” of Libertas and Dirty Harry’s Place) launched “Big Hollywood”, a new conservative culture blog this week, and look who one of the contributors turns out to be: Bill Willingham! And it’s an awesome piece. I hope it gets a lot of eyeballs. Over on the Dixonverse board, we’ve …

New Dixonverse Board
A few weeks back, Chuck’s board got hacked. Here’s the new one, in case you were looking. (I like this one much better.)

Goodbye Trillian
I’ve used Trillian for years. It allows me to sign in to AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo, MSN and ICQ. If you have multiple instant messaging systems, it’s better to run one piece of software instead of many of them simultaneously. Now I’ve discovered Pidgin. Pidgin does those four…and many more, including MySpace IM. (However, I …
