Post-it doodle, and I don’t know what this is, but it makes me uncomfortable.
So the streak goes unbroken.
Movie 3/12/13
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. Oddly, this was going to be my next Gutter Trash pick, but randomly, Jason decided to watch it the previous week. So I watched it last night. I wish I hadn’t. It was terrible. The only good parts were when the “Diceman” breaks out of his character schtick. I’ve never been a fan.
Modok-ish. But it’s not. Also, I just realized that it’s March Modok Madness month. I don’t think I have time to participate this year.
Movie 3/11/13
Wreck-It Ralph: Animated feature about video game characters and I absolutely loved it, and not just because of video games. Also on the DVD was a short film called “Paperman” and Jesus fuck was it great.
The streak might be over. I don’t know that I’ll watch a movie tonight.
Been watching a butt-load of “Twilight Zone” and this classic episode came up yesterday. I think this guy is a private detective in the universe this takes place in.
Inspired by the movie I watched the other day.
Movies for 3/10/13:
Satan’s Little Helper. Horror/comedy with an interesting take on the slasher genre, but ultimately just kind of boring with some terrible acting. Except for “Satan” – a psycho in a mask who never talks or shows his face, but is able convey a ton through body language. Otherwise, in order for the movie to really work, you have to just assume everyone in this world is a complete idiot.
The Detective. Will be reviewed for Gutter Trash and up in a few days.
Boom, baby, boom! It’s the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight! And so he says to me, ‘you wanna be a bad guy?’ and I say, ‘Yeah baby! I wanna be bad!’ I say ‘SURF’S UP, SPACE PONIES! I’m making gravy without the lumps!
I make no apologies for my liking of Electric Superman. In fact, Electric Superman is when I developed my love of Stuart Immonen. He needs to write more.
I thought about doing a supplemental Red Electric Superman, but fuck that guy.
Movies for 3/8/2013:
Manhunter The first attempt at a Hannibal Lecter movie, it’s the Michael Mann adaptation of Red Dragon – a movie I liked better than this. Not that this is bad, it’s just really dated. Also Brian Cox is fantastic as Dr. “Lecktor”. Anthony Hopkins is great, but Brian Cox gives it a little something that Hopkins doesn’t have. The downer is that he is only in the movie for about a minute.
Doctor Detroit Dan Akroyd as a college professor who accidentally becomes Chicago’s most notorious pimp. It’s ridiculous and dumb, but I laughed like an idiot.
Movie for today:
Superman vs.The Elite Seemed appropriate. It was good. It’s an adaption of the far better issue of Action Comics called “Whatever Happened to Truth, Justice and The American Way?”. It’s Superman fighting a team of Authority-like fascist superheroes and public opinion.
Today is International Women’s Day. So I drew lady Grendel Christine Spar (that’s not really true, it just worked out that way. Everyone knows I hate ladies).
No movie yet today. I’m at work, give me a break, Womens.
Black Phantom in his original guise.
Another movie for 3/6/13 – After Porn Ends. A documentary about how former porn stars return and adjust to real life. It was interesting, but not great.
Movie for 3/7/13 – Black Sabbath. Anthology horror movie hosted by Boris Karloff. Fun, enjoyable.
Wanted to do a redesign of Luke Cage that paid homage to his original costume and made him look more like a superhero.
Movie for 3/5: Star Crystal. I sorta tweeted about it as I watched it. It was terrible. A mid-80s rip-off of Alien, but with none of the resources. It ended with the alien reading from the Bible and a happy ending complete with theme song. I shit you not. Don’t watch it unless it’s in a group and there is booze involved.
Todays movies (so far):
Deadgirl. A unique take on the zombie genre – two guys find an undead woman chained in a basement and proceed to spend the entire movie fucking it. Absolutely full of itself and filled with so many abhorrent characters and so much rape, there’s almost nothing about it that is worth watching. Even the “hero” of the movie is an absolute shitbag.
To Be or Not To Be. Mel Brooks film about an acting troupe pulling one over on the Nazis. Funny, enjoyable. It’s kind of like a PG version of Inglorious Basterds.
One of Black Phantom’s villains.
