Correct This Injustice, Says I

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Rex The Motherfucking Wonder Dog

Some forum kid over at Comic Book Resources is running a poll for “best comics dog.” Their options are Krypto, Lockjaw, Bandit from We3 and “other.” Okay, let’s be clear here. Lockjaw is a really dumb dog. That is not just opinion: that is canon. If it wasn’t for his ability to teleport Lockjaw would […]

Is it just me…

Or are Oreo cookies nowadays made with much gooier creme filling than they used to be, and is this not expressly because they wanted to make Oreos easier to twist open so you can lick the creme? I mean, it used to be that maybe you could twist open maybe one in two Oreos, and […]

Games-a-lot

Jayisgames is doing a vote-off for the best web-games of 2008, and I include the link because my entire purpose in life is to make other people waste precious time so they don’t create precious works of art, properly parent children or bring about world peace.

Those Wacky Teaching Assistants And Their Wacky Antics

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics, WTF

So I’ve gotten a bit of mail about CUPE Ontario’s decision to recommend a “ban” on Israeli academics in Canadian universities, most likely because I’m currently attending Osgoode Hall Law School, which is at York, which is the subject of a prolonged strike on the part of CUPE. And… well, what is there to say, […]

And One More

…thing that was awesome about 2008: “Propane Nightmares” by Pendulum. The thing I like about this – well. Obviously it’s a great song, but on top of that… See, when I originally went into film a long time ago, part of it was because I loved – and was good at – constructing trailers in […]

2008: The Year In Yeah

Posted by MGK Published in Books, Comics, Flicks, Gaming, Muzak, TV

“Pork and Beans” by Weezer and “So What” by Pink. 2008 was a really great year for “fuck you” songs, as the general frustration of the world with stupid bullshit finally hit its boiling point, and these were two of the best. Weezer’s song was “Fuck you, I’m a nerd” and Pink’s was “Fuck you, […]

2008: The Year In Bleh

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Flicks, Gaming, Muzak, TV

2008 was a year that produced many singular and outstanding creative works. These were not those. Waltz with Bashir. One of the most overrated films of the year, the recipient of far too many movie-critic blowjobs to count. Admittedly, the idea of a documentary presented entirely in rotoscopic animation is novel, but one novel idea […]

And 2009 Starts Out Disappointingly

Posted by MGK Published in TV

So Matt Smith is the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Does anybody else, upon watching the BBC video, think that producers wanted to/were told to get someone “David Tennant-y”? Because that’s what Matt Smith seems like – a low-rent version of David Tennant, and worse one who doesn’t seem to innately understand […]
