Hulk Smashed

I just saw Avengers 2 and liked it, because I am a nerd.

If you are into "normal" movies, I'm not sure why you'd like it.

But then, these movies are now making many billions, collectively.

Did you know Marvel is telling a story spread out over like 20 movies? Something like this has never been attempted in cinema before, and so far it's WILDLY successful.

I think back to my comic book nerd reading past when I had to hope the LaVerdiere's drugstore had Thor #288 on that rickety spinning comic book display hidden over by the magazine rack. And they often didn't.

But now? It's like we've been transported to some reality where comic books are real and everyone lives in a comic book. It's amazing and Strange*












*Dr. Strange the movie coming to theaters June 2018.

The Future of Space Travel

Since science is boring, and no one is going to make any money in space for at least a hundred years, the future of human space travel is sex. In space. The ultimate in male fantasy.

That'll get the "Dot Com" money flowing.

Behind the mask

Boba Fett was an accountant for ten years before a deal went bad and he was forced to take up the rough and tumble life of bounty hunting.

Through it all, his ledger remained black.

Never, Never

Forever young and in love (except in the prenup).

I hope there were pirates at the open bar.

True Love

FW:FW:FW: this to all your Aunts on Facebook! This lucky frog hit the jackpot - true love exists!

Sincerely, I'd marry for money in a heartbeat, because it would be true love - I'd love the money.

Mint Condition

The hound is long past sell date, but some of those Ponies on the top shelf are still in the original packaging and worth a pretty penny, trust me.

Nerd approved! I'll buy everything.

Come Together

One day soon enough we'll be down to a nice and proper small number of global megacorps who in turn will run many brands and have excellent global brand strategies. Perhaps one day the end result of Capitalism will come upon us as if from on high, GlobalMegaCorp, in charge of, everything. But still with excellent branding.

Let us keep shopping to bring forth this Capitalist utopia.

End of Empire

No Empire has ended by conquest. Rather, they all fall from within, their very institutions rotted and filled with poison. Knowing this and acting with such knowledge could prolong an empire a great deal, but even it would not be immune to institutional infection.

Knowing this, you can consult for the Empire and make a lot of money.

Hot Stock Tip

I've invested in all major flag companies, betting that when Puerto Rico becomes a state and every US flag in the world has to be replaced, I'll be rich. FILTHY RICH! You can be too! Send me your credit card info and I'll invest for you.

And just so you feel confident, I'll have you know that if PR does not become a US state in the next 10 years, I have a contingency plan to get the Canadian maritime provinces into the USA. It won't be pretty, but my flag investments will pay off. One way or another.

Act now! This offer limited to the first ten responders. Time's running out!

State by State

One by one states will legalize marijuana, and one day the Feds will have to address this one way or another. I hope it's for full legalization, but you never know. Trust no Republicans.

Just another Burj

You're yesterday's news, Burj al Arab.

Such is the fate of most Gulf buildings within a few short years. Spectacular has beens.

Mecca Vegas

Mecca in 1917. A world ago, as that world was directly connected to 2000 years and more of history. Whereas what's happened since is brand new.

Decadence. Luxurious wealth. Super technology. Welcome to Mecca 2013.

I'm sure the construction you see on the right has come far closer to completion since this picture was taken, if you can imagine it - another gaudy tower rising high in the sky.

There's malls in that big building, by the way. Shopping, at Mecca.

Pyramid Power

I ironically agree with all of this save for the Queen of England at the top. C'mon! Rupert Murdoch has more pull than the Queen of England for crikey's sake.

Pretty much true, sorry if that offends your bourgeois sensibilities.

This is actual fact, not conjecture. For America - land of the free.

Rush the gates

Those crazy gals of Femen stormed a European trade show, freaking out most, except for...

Vlad. He's down with Femen - putting them in gulags, that is.

The Elephant in the Country

So true. You start thinking for yourself, and you find only trouble. Better to just let the Preacher do the thinking for you. Vote Republican!

I like bashing the South as much as anyone, but it must be noted that these numbers (and so many more) are influenced by the deplorable conditions many African Americans find themselves in Southern states - all run by racist whites, of course. But these same deplorable trends affect poor whites too, but hey, vote Republican!

Think how warped and twisted you have to be to get so angry over the possibility of high speed rail. I'LL NEVER GET ON A TRAIN OBAMA!!!

These poor whites who vote - who live - Republican have been so bamboozled, so brainwashed by the dual poison of Religion and Racism that they will cut off their nose - Gladly! - as long as it means black folk will suffer too. That's their mindset, and what we're up against - a legion of angry, deluded white people manipulated by some greedy billionaires. Vote Republican! 

Everyone's a Winnah!

Don't let the awesomeness blind you - Obama is incredible beyond words. Look at the kids all captivated!

Poor bears, so uninformed. Listen - are you a millionaire? Do you have industrial concerns? No? Then don't vote Republican, for any reason.

Cartoon Strike!

Back in old 1941 the Screen Cartoonist Guild went on strike against Disney and though they won, things would never be the same. But hey, for a while there, Labor did have the upper hand over Management, and most of our gains as a society came from this brief window. It's been closing for a while.

The striking artists at the time kept drawing, but "illegal" work, since of course if Disney does not approve a Disney related drawing - you're in trouble. Hence the rarity of the slightly dirty, amazing work.... below the fold!

NASA Files

Here's my pitch, Hollywood: A group of smart, sexy young NASA scientists drive around the country in their souped up, high tech yet super hip retro van, solving mysteries. There could be a wise cracking robot involved. Big ratings!

Since this is a fictional NASA, you could bust out all kinds of cool technology for different episodes - like super silver giant balloon.

Or a robotic snow tank for the Christmas episode.

Just for example! Shit writes itself, really.

Thrall to a system

This is a terrible joke, and I apologize.

Have you heard about this? Read about this? Wolf Blitzer (what a name!) played Celebrity Jeopardy a few years back and was terrible. He doesn't know anything, apparently. But then, you don't need to know anything to host a long running news program on CNN, the most trusted name in news.

Imagine a world where the most avowed Christians are also the most hateful people possible. What if - just asking questions here - what if Satan had actually taken over Christianity, and all Christians are really working on behalf of The Dark Lord?

Ironic!

Prosperity Gospel!

Satan?

Be of good cheer, fellow pilgrim! Everything that is bad in this world - including your bad deeds and thoughts - are because of Satan. It's His fault! You are blameless and innocent, created as the Lord Himself.  Now, leave a check or some twenties, or just swipe your card - St. Francis now accepts Mastercard, Visa, and Diner's Club cards.

Amen!
