I quite enjoyed the villains tonight, especially Zellin and the name checking of The Guardians, Eternals and the Celestial Toymaker. The finger thing was quite daft but hey, that might just be how these immortals roll. Once again, an interesting set up! Regarding the follow through—As we got deeper into the ep, and the DoctorContinue reading “DWS12:7 “Can You Hear Me?””

Having released all the individual stories on DVD, the BBC has started releasing entire *seasons* of classic Doctor Who on Blu-ray. In many cases, they’ve updated effects on some of the stories at the DVD level. Nice touches the original producers would have done had they the budget. Sometimes, they’ve gone to great lengths! TheContinue reading “The Invasion of the lame Dino-puppets”

These days, anyone cracking open a new issue of a Batman comic will see the phrase “Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger”. That’s a fairly recent development, no doubt allowed by DC comics at the beseeching of friends, fans and family of the late Mr. Finger, but  80 years overdue. For decades, starting inContinue reading “In Defense of Bill Finger”

It’s long been known that my two favorite comic books are Batman and the Fantastic Four. The first thing I ever drew was Batman, and I’ve got a 150 piece Thing collection of toys and art. I’m going to say a big part of it was those being the first comics I ever picked up,Continue reading “Why Batman and the FF?”

Many years ago there was a comedian named Harry Einstein, who moved about in the Hollywood circles and in the famed Friar’s club. HeContinue reading “Albert Einstein is hilarious in his movies!”

Professor Xanax stepped out into the sun, over the bodies of the slumbering security force as he and his goons exited the bank, their duffels stuffed with cash. The plan had proceeded smoothly. Like any summer Sunday morning at 5AM, the city was deserted. The bank vaults combination and security protocols extracted from the formerContinue reading “The Purple Throbber”

Companies pay millions and millions and MILLIONS of dollars to air 30, 60, or 120 second commercials *during* the Super Bowl. It is definitely an event, seeing the alleged best of the best, most creative commercials of the year. Even if you’re not a football fan, it is fun seeing the whole state of theContinue reading “Why Spoil Super Bowl Commercials?”

Sounds like something you need a lime wedge for. As I lay here with abnormal amounts of phlegm that keeps hanging on eight days after the worst of my cold has already passed, sure, I worry about extinction level events.  Originating in some China zoo/market/carnival/bathhouse (?), Chinese officials have been incredibly proactive getting the wordContinue reading “Coronavirus”
