From a very old issue of Batman: Well? Can you? Go ahead, use Google if you like. I mean, Batman has a Bat-computer. (Incidentally, the story of this comic is that Signalman, pictured, keeps sending Batman clues – because he is a retard – and then narrowly manages to escape Batman every time without managing […]

I was reading the recently-deleted “Marvel B0y” Livejournal last week, by the guy purporting to be a “Marvel insider” and generally bitching a lot about Brian Michael Bendis and the like. And one thing he wrote stuck with me: that Bendis and Ed Brubaker and others were all submitting proposals on how to “fix” Doctor […]

Read the reviews, then wonder if this is the worst hotel in America. (And why is it that the only people who liked it are Germans?)

Lost this season? All killer, no filler.

I’ve gotten maybe a dozen emails over the course of the last week from people asking me to weigh in on all the kerfuffle happening over and in regards to Livejournal, which recently has decided to abandon the basic “free” accounts in favour of the “plus” accounts which have web advertisements on them, and has […]

After discussing the Adbusters case previously mentioned here in class, my constitutional law professor sent me an email elaborating on the subject, and since I thought it was interesting (and since said professor is one of the top constitutional law scholars in Canada), I thought I’d pass along the relevant parts. The relationship between s.2(b) […]

The Barack Obama race speech video on Youtube has over two million hits in less than two days. This, for a video that is, let us not forget, nearly forty minutes long. By way of comparison, remember that “music video” thing? It got to a million hits in five days, and it’s about three minutes […]

I’ve decided that this is now a regular feature here at mgk.com (well, until I get bored with it, but who knows how long that will take). Every week, we will return to the pages of Who’s Who, the classic 1980s DC comic book encyclopedia of their characters. Every week, they shall be judged on […]

SCENE: A STUDIO BIGWIG and his three JUNIOR EXECUTIVES sit at a table. STUDIO BIGWIG: Gentlemen, I just wanted to give you your due. The Hottie and the Nottie will just barely break even without making a profit. Number one, your slate of Dane Cook romantic comedies for the next two years is awe-inspiring. Number […]

Okay, so yesterday’s post on Bob Rae led me to thinking along the following lines. 1.) I have a predominantly American readership – even if this wasn’t obvious from all the “whozat” questions every time I delve into Canadian politics, Google Analytics confirms it pretty conclusively anyway. 2.) I like to post about Canuck politics […]

Well worth a click: a photo series of rival Kenyan tribes fighting for land… with bows and arrows.

(WARNING: Canadian politics alert. American readers may wish to instead look at this cute puppy. You have been warned.) So Bob Rae has finally won himself a seat in Toronto Centre, in the by-elections that were for all practical intents and purposes a referendum on Stephane Dion’s leadership. (A referendum which offered an inconclusive, dithering […]

Why DC doesn’t reprint this comic, I will honestly never know. It is a dog who is bullfighting. And as issues of Rex The Wonder Dog go, this is comparatively tame. YOU HEAR THAT, DC? GIVE US REX THE FREAKING WONDER DOG! (More Rex The Wonder Dog here.)
