Question And Answer Time

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

Church had this idea first, but as Sam Raimi once said, “if it’s good, steal it.” So: ask me whatever question you like in the comments, and I will answer in a post come Friday. As motivation for asking particularly insightful or amusing questions, the question I deem most excitingly fantastic will win, posted through […]

Do You Like Facebook Apps? Of Course You Like Facebook Apps

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets

Some people I know asked me to give Eat-A-Rama a whirl (DISCLAIMER: I am posting about it for free, because I like it), and I am extremely impressed. The nickel summary is that it’s a Facebook app that uses the collective Facebook populace to review restaurants. The system is fluid and extremely easy to use […]

It’s Like You’re Six Years Old Again Except Not As Much Fun

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Comic Remixes, Comics, Photoshopp'd

Countdown: Arena manages to quite possibly be the silliest and most pointless tie-in to Countdown yet, which in and of itself is impressive. Given that the plot essentially boils down to “hey, remember when you were a kid and you made your action figures fight each other? It’s like that!”, parodying it was a tough […]

Polls Are Meaningless. However.

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

The new ARG poll of New Hampshire is out, and Clinton is spiralling. She’s dropped from 35 percent to 26, a nine-point drop (or better than a quarter of her support) in two days. Obama, predictably, has jumped from 31 to 38 percent in the same timeframe, but what’s just as notable is that John […]

Sims demanded, and thus do I provide. DISCLAIMER: I actually liked Sinestro Corps a lot.

It Says It Right There In The Name And Everything

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks, Politics

Out of all the things people have forwarded me this week, I am gonna talk about this. Mostly because I’ve seen the sentiment that films like Juno and Waitress and Knocked Up are “pro-life movies” crop up elsewhere and it’s just getting annoying. Juno and Waitress and Knocked Up are all, emphatically, pro-choice movies. This […]

Andrew “G’Kar” Olmsted, intelligent and well-written conservative blogger for Obsidian Wings, died in Iraq yesterday. Son of a bitch.

COMIC TALKING POST: “The Order” and a Completely Unbiased Review of “Legion of Super-Heroes” #37

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

The Order is one of the best superhero comics available on the stands today, and it’s also selling quite poorly at present. On one level, this is understandable, because it’s a superhero title trying new things with brand new characters and comics fans are so often reluctant to buy anything that doesn’t have Wolverine in […]

Hahahahahahahhh.

David Cross smacks down everybody making fun of him for being in Alvin and the Chipmunks. Some of the choicer bits: I have not seen the movie so I can’t really comment to whether it’s an “evil” or “dangerous” “piece of shit “or not. The reason I haven’t seen the movie is because I am […]

Missing The Point About The Old White Guys

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

Ezra Klein and everybody else commenting on the newly-hatched whispering campaign to elect Mike Bloomberg as an independent candidate for President are missing the point. All the big-name political blogs commenting on this story are mocking the cabal of old, mostly male, irrelevant white people pushing for an independent “end the gridlock” candidate who will […]
