I went with the slinky sexy costume here because I have a penis and thusly hate women. Fuck off, fake nerd girls! Go back to the kitchen.

118. Brainiac 5
Went with a more animation inspired look for Brainy.
So, three days in and I am in love with the current returned from the dead ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. I am taking a break from it for the last few episodes. I don’t want it to end so soon. I will definitely have to go back and re-watch the first couple episodes of which I was sorta dismissive. I think I wasn’t prepared for the structure of the show – a “Memento”-style 8 hour puzzle. The deeper you go, the more genius of the season is revealed. A genius the level of a Brainiac 5, say? I’m still glad that I approached the return with trepidation and doubt. I think lowered-to-no expectation is the way to approach any heavily hyped entertainment form. I also went into this the way I approach movies anymore. I avoided all bits of news and spoilers and trailers. I’m already sold on it, you can stop pitching. I did this for IRON MAN 3 and I think I loved that movie all the more because of it.
So yeah. Arrested Development. I’ll get back to it this weekend after a refresher of some Rockford Files.
As I enter the 4th season of that particular show, I now worry that Netflix will remove it before I finish the series. They did it to me before! NETFLIX!!!!!
(By the way, a year ago, I hated the idea of Netflix Streaming. Goes to show what a good cable connection will do for you)
117. Triplicate Girl
Went with the animated version here.
Sober and further into the Arrested Development revival. I’m actually digging it. The first couple episodes kinda struggled, but it’s defintely getting back to classic A.D form by the 3rd ep. Disappointment averted?
116. Kid Quantum
I’m drunk. And watching the return of Arrested Development. It’s not a crushing disappointment.
115. Kinetix
So we’re down to the final week of Legion of Superheroes Month. The last six days here are going to be fairly lady heavy. I’m not sure how it worked out that way. Actually, I am. Fear. Pure fear. In art, like life, I fear the ladies.

Zardoz. To be reviewed on Gutter Trash.
Ok, PANIC!: Lord of the Rings
I’ll be honest, I don’t know what this is. LotR is something I have almost no interest in. It’s totally passed me by. I saw the 3 movies, mostly because my girlfriend at the time and my mom at the time wanted to see them. The only thing I remember about any of them is seeing Return of the King on opening night with my mom and girlfriend, and not being able to find 3 seats together. So I had to sit by myself in the only seat left. The very front row in the far left corner. For the entire 37.5 hour runtime. I hate that movie.
Anyway, this is where I bailed on Ok, PANIC!. It wasn’t fun, and the proprietor was just being a dick online. Even more than I usually am. So, I was done. Jason left soon after. Kurt & Jeff remained til the end.
114. Ferro Lad
I found this character quite endearing in the Final Night crossover in the mid 90s. I think that’s what it was called. The one where the sun was going out and Hal Jordan sacrificed himself to save the world/redeem himself as Parallax. Stuart Immonen-y goodness.

Star Trek Into Darkness. I liked this quite a bit. Not as much as J.J. Abram’s first “Trek” film, but still, quite a bit. It’s certainly not perfect, but it’s big and fun and exciting. Plus it has Benedict Cumberbatch.
113. Cosmic Boy
I thought a lot about drawing him in his 70s Mike Grell sexy costume. Look it up if you don’t know what that is.

Altered. Horror film directed by one of the guys who did The Blair Witch Project. It’s about four dudes who were abducted by aliens. Fifteen years later, they capture one to exact revenge on it. It’s a decent concept, well made, but still just sort of only okay.
