Although I hate Bryan Singer (don’t ask), I love documentaries. Especially if it’s about comics. I thought long and hard about getting this documentary about Superman, and I finally gave in. I mean, come on. It’s Superman.
Mysterious Benefactor: Good morning, Mr. Bauer.
Jack Bauer: Who are you? Why am I here? Who are you working for? And why are you speaking to me through a speaker?
MB: Direct to the point. I like that. I work for no one. Who I am and why I’m not speaking to you in person aren’t really relevant questions at this time. Why you’re here, that’s the important question. See, a global threat has just arisen, and I need you to lead my team to end this threat.
JB: What threat? What team? And why me?
MB: Ever heard of this thing called a “declarative sentence”? Anyway, this global threat I speak of threatens life as we know it. He is pure and unadulterated evil. He is the most sinister being I have ever seen. If I know any better, I’d say he’s the Devil himself. If you would kindly direct your attention to the screen in front of you, let me show you the face of evil:
Earlier today, Euri forwarded a link to me on YM. It’s a link to a video (embedded on this chick’s Multiply site) featuring two house lizards and the tragic end of their romance.
The video is a Shera flexy board ceiling panel commercial from Thailand. The ad is a lot of things. It’s whimsical (come on, two lizards sharing a passionate hug?). It turns into a suspenseful adventure thriller as one of the lizards tries to save its lover from falling into a sinister chess board after the ceiling panel they’re on starts to crack and rip apart. And it finally turns into an awkward mix of hilarity and tragedy. It’s a beauty.
Before I became a comic geek, I was first a couch potato. OK, I still am, but not as zombie-like as before. I choose my shows now. And by “choose”, I mean “look for the Jack TV or HBO or AXN or Star Movies on”. Seriously, TV has become a mentor to me, teaching me things like sex, love, and bad grammar. Although, I think I can live without it now, with all the Interwebs shit and all. But there will always be TV shows that would always keep me coming back in front of the devilish tube.
#5: 24 - Initially, it was all about Elisha Cuthbert. I surf other channels when it’s not her scene. But eventually, I discovered the pure awesomeness of Jack freakin’ Bauer! I mean, seriously. I thought MacGvyer and The A-Team kicked ass, but Jack Bauer will eat them for breakfast! And then Sydney Bristow for lunch. Afternoon delight, yo.
#4: Smallville - This is the only TV show that I’m collecting on DVD. Well, so far. I currently have Seasons 1-3, and I can’t wait to get Seasons 4 and 5. It has everything. Hot chicks, special effects, humor, adventure, and dozens of easter eggs for comic book geeks. Never been a fan of the Superman mythos, but this show changed my mind. I’d take this over any of the Superman movies any day.
BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) — Authorities have arrested two men in connection with electronic light boards depicting a middle-finger-waving moon man that triggered repeated bomb scares around Boston on Wednesday, January 31st, and prompted the closure of bridges and a stretch of the Charles River. Meanwhile, police and prosecutors vented their anger at Turner Broadcasting Inc., the parent company of CNN, which said the battery-operated light boards were aimed at promoting the late-night Adult Swim cartoon “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”
How about that. An innocent and creative attempt to promote an innocent and retarded cartoon sent hundreds of people in a collective panic attack, and cost a city hundreds of thousands of dollars. But everything’s okay now. Arrests were made. The truth about those devices with a “sinister appearance” have been revealed. We should all move on with our lives, right? Wrong! This isn’t just a simple hoax. This is a warning disguised as a hoax, masterminded by the most sinister beings ever. Yes, fellow Earthlings, this heralds the impending arrival of the Mooninites! Invasion is imminent! They will rock our collective Earthly face!
PCT Emporium This be AWESOME.
