After tonight’s SYTYCD elimination, I went over to Television Without Pity’s forums, mostly because I am a masochist. In between the usual ranting about how Philipchbeeb is ruining the show for them and so forth, I also found the usual bevy of conspiracy theories. Melissa is older than 30 because she has lines on her […]

The Star Rovers struck an early blow for alternative lifestyles in comics. See how Karel cheerfully grasps both Rick and Homer’s asses? This self-described “glamor girl” is in charge. You can tell by the look on her face. That is the face of a woman in total control, who understands and recognizes her power, and […]

Your judges tonight are Nigel, a surprisingly sane Mary, and a surprisingly non-bitchy Mia Michaels. Carla and Turk Jeanette and Brandon: cha-cha. I got home a bit late and missed this, which was annoying for me. But everybody says it was really good and frankly I think it takes a freight train at this point […]

LIKED – Detective Comics featuring Batwoman was as good as everybody says it is, and frankly, given that it’s stupid boring sucky Batwoman, this is nothing short of a miracle even though Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams are the ones doing it. (Let me put it this way: regardless of how good a filmmaker Steven […]

BATMAN: So I saw you fighting another giant robot on television. Luthor again? SUPERMAN: No, this one wasn’t Luthor. BATMAN: Are you sure? SUPERMAN: Of course I’m sure. Why wouldn’t I be sure that it wasn’t Luthor? BATMAN: You tend to believe the best of people too often. I want to be sure this wasn’t […]
