Oh, Episode 2's a lot better. I'm still not thrilled by the acting or dialogue, but there's an actual story now! A pretty good one! I can deal with this.

Does The Singing Detective get better after the first episode? Because it was pretty awful. The hospital storyline takes up most of the screentime, and it bored me to death. I was hoping the film n ...

See, the problem with greatest hits albums is they lack context -- which is what I need to understand something. And that's what I'm looking to do here.

They're fine if you already know the materia ...

I don't really understand. Why didn't you buy your ticket to Australia in advance? I've never heard of buying an airplane ticket after making your connecting flight.

But try to have fun in Japan. ...

Hey dracko, I'm going to get stoned with a friend/collaborator of Grant Morrison's soon (on the Disinfo books and videos). Anything I should ask him about Grant?

So the friend who insisted I read Invisibles is now insisting I read The Filth

and

are we sure Grant Morrisson doesn't do a lot of drugs? Anymore?

are

sure?

I got bored of The Fil ...

I haven't read Empowered yet, but I read porn comics to get closer to the artist. A person's sexual fantasies are deeply personal - you bare your soul when you lay it on the page. Black Kiss might n ...

I'm sure there are some cultures where it is perfectly feasable that mainstream entertainment would have boobs flopping about all over the place and cartoon women who look like they are solely design ...

There are 2 covers of Glamourpuss - one that's a fake fashion magazine, another that's a fake superhero comic. It's a neat idea that's obviously trying to target 2 different demographics. The pictur ...

Black Hole.

And Neil Gaiman and Roger Avery were already confirmed as the screenwriters. Not a bad team.

Black Hole is the closest to perfection a comic has ever come, so they'll probably fin ...

The one time I saw Faster, Pussycat was in a Midnight Mass with Peaches Christ. She had the lady there who played the villain, who spoke for about six years about what a bad-ass she was.

Yeah, that ...

The Silent Movie Theater in LA's been playing a bunch of Russ Meyer flicks lately, so I've seen five. They're fun! Despite being softcore porn, there's always a good mix of straight men, straight wo ...

Dracko, what do you think of Barracuda MAX? I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the best Punisher arcs (such as Barracuda). Maybe it was a bit rushed, being 5 issues instead of 6?

It's still great ...

church and state is where sim really hits his stride. the characters who are obvious fantasy renditions of real world celebrities are still omni-present, but church and state moves things from the bu ...

The Bible only feels like it's a million pages long.

Dave Sim's insistence that Cerebus is the "longest sustained narrative in history" is really embarrassing. First of all, why would LENGTH be the main thing you advertise about your comic? Doesn't he ...

The two funniest volumes are High Society and Guys. You stopped right before High Society got really good.

Jaka's Story is an amazing self contained tragedy. Minds is one of the most inventive bo ...

Daphny told me to post here. I still like SB but maybe I'll visit here as well.

Why don't you like Band of Brothers?

I asked a friend about The Shield when I saw it in the sale, and he said it was entertaining but nothing compared to The Wire. Since I really only need one cop ...

When I click "view forums" or "read more" I go to a blank white page.

EDIT: SB.net shows up fine now.

Yeah they're New Yorkers. Rakim has incredible flow which Nas sort of emulated, while Biggie is by far the most personal and touching rapper who ever lived, GZA is just plain clever, and Ghostface is ...

The Gift is a more emotionally charged and deliciously cynical ending for the series (and tied in really well with Fool for Love), but Chosen is nice because it manages to give everyone a happy ending ...

Whoever said that the Fugees are not hip-hop: I would like to hear you elaborate on this, because right now I think that's really wrong. The Score is one of the best hip-hop albums I have ever heard, ...

Cheetahs are much faster than any other animal. Whales are much bigger. Why can't humans be much smarter?

Also the difference between our brains and chimps isn't that big. It's just that those s ...

I like Gnarls Barkley but it doesn't seem like hip hop much at all.

The Danger Doom album is pretty good.

That album is weird. Why are the entire cast of Space Ghost Coast To Coast featured thro ...

This sounds like a great party. It's too bad Seattle's probably the farthest place in the continental US from Louisville. We should have a west coast meetup sometime (there was a mini seattle meet a ...

There seems to be a recent trend of doing hip hop production on non-hip albums. Gnarls Barkely, both Gorillaz albums (the first is by Dan the Automator, the genius behind Dr. Octagon's beats, the sec ...
