WITNESS ME!

I do drugs. I die. I do drugs again!

Seriously though, I am in thrall to this movie, and I have 3 days left to decide if I make the 3 hour round trip to see it one last time in the theaters (one theater in a hundred square miles, one showing per day only). It's pathetic, I know. But I'm obsessed. What a movie!

My head is crushed.





 Is that a vexation?

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 circle is complete

A more perfect human awaits. We need only transcend our weaknesses.

The Long Con

Heed my warning, and heed it well: The Con is spreading. ComicCon, where people dress up like comic characters. It's spreading more and more into the real world and I bet soon enough you will see a Stormtrooper or Boba Fett or a Wookie family celebrating Life Day.

Happy Life Day!

Beware!

Head Canon

"Head Canon" refers to the creation of an alternate universe of fictional characters that exists only in your head. Sometimes this hews close to the original work of fiction (for example, instead of the Emperor dying at the end of Jedi, in my "head canon", he lives), or sometimes is dramatically different.

Such as the wedding of Mrs. Doubtifre and Boba Fett, officiated by Batman.

Why?

Who knows. Just roll with it - it's the Internet, Danny.

Never, Never

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

I hope there were pirates at the open bar.

Nerdology

Our Nerd Lord is a trinity of Nerdly Nerds, though this trinity is of course but One True Nerd.

Accept our offering of cheeseburger and french fry pizza, O Nerd Lord.

Back in the USSR

What with all the new excitement in Crimea - it's been awhile - I've been thinking fondly of Cold War's past.

Alas, it's just a comedy montage, and not really a geopolitical reality. Despite the action in the Black Sea. It is somewhat interesting, kind of.

Sochi is just down the road from the old Crimea, which is cool, right?

into the dust bin

Sigh. Communism. How I miss you. Look here at this cold hard logic. It was scientists who sent monkeys into space, not Jesus.

It is the working class who built the factories and the buildings, the tractors and trucks. It is people who build our cities and monuments, not Jesus. Not the spiritual and fiscal bourgeoisie.


Comrades!

Southern Hospitality*

The South is a very diverse and tolerant place. Come see our heritage parades and festivals!

Meanwhile, in Eternia

A He-Man of 1983, for real. He lived at Chess King, and wow did he get all the ladies, as you can see in this literal depiction of Prince Chess King.

His power went beyond his muscles and dragons - if you wore his clothing brand, you gained some fraction of his He-Manly aura, which surely would do your sad self wonders at the mall on Saturday night.

The Resistance Continues

Exile has been difficult for Skeletor, the rightful ruler of Eternia. But rest assured, while Skeletor still breathes, he will fight to regain his rightful crown. Join Skeletor, and victory is assured!

Obligatory Xmas Post

May your Christmas tree not catch on fire. Seriously, Christmas trees are extremely flammable so use caution all through the holiday season.

I think most people dislike Christmas, but don't want to say it. A silent majority, if you will. But the kids love it, so we all oblige.

Magic!

Yeah, I'm not sure either. That's the point I think.

Now, watch this drive!

From zero to hero

Charlton Heston. You might remember him as the leader of the NRA as it turned crazy, epitomized by his quote "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands".

A hero to the wingnuts, of course. America, personified. Get your damn hands off me, you dirty ape! But wipe away the fog of Wingnut mythology and remember the "Charlton" of yore.

Charlton marching on DC for Civil Rights.

Charlton protesting in OK for Civil Rights.

Charlton picketing for Worker's Rights.

What happened, Charlton?
What happened, America? Why did you go mad, infecting so many people with madness?

And what kind of name is Charlton? Sounds like prep school. Not rugged American gun owner.

Quoting Goethe

Beautiful protestor with powerful placard? What's not to love. Protesting power is hot in general.

Art is pretty, always (in its specific way), but subverting myth is especially pretty in my book. In which is written: Once women take over society, the world can truly progress.

What if?

There's not enough words in the world to describe all the fucked up shit that has and will go down.

Keep Ur fires burning. Know that I burn with you, and am taking pictures.

Smile!

Life is the prize, you fool.

Praise The Feathered Raptor Lord!

Raptor Lord is a harsh God, but fair. He only eats when He's hungry. Which, admittedly, is often. But running the Universe  - including monitoring and influencing every single sporting event in the Universe in case one player/side is more fawning over Raptor Lord - is hard work!

Praise be unto Him. ROAR!
