My Doctor Who Story

Posted by John Seavey Published in Bad Comedy, Film/TV, TV, Writering

Fellow MGK contributor Matthew Johnson posted a couple of weeks ago about his undeniably unfilmable (but interesting) idea for a Doctor Who story, and the comments section turned towards everyone else’s idea for a Doctor Who story they probably couldn’t do. Which, in my case, has perhaps less to do with the story idea and […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: Pulsar Stargrave

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Pulsar Stargrave has always been, to me, one of the criminally underused ideas in Legion history, for a few reasons. He has an awesome name, for starters. He’s got a great look, too: a neo-Roman togacape, dressed in imperial white, give the impression of someone who knows he’s in charge but it’s stripped down enough […]

My Sandman Theory

Posted by John Seavey Published in Comics, General Nerd Crap

A while back, in the comments section on my post about the five best comics deaths, I asked people to remind me to talk about my Sandman theory. Nobody did in all this time, but I’m going to tell you all about it anyway. This is, quite possibly, the Essence Of Blogging. This theory has […]

Things people mutter about and I don’t get

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit, The Internets

This video: Now, predictably there has been the sort of “oh god those kids don’t know what an eight-track is I’m so old” commentary from around the internets, and that’s… predictable, I guess. But I don’t really see it that way, because other than that one kid who thought the 3.5″ floppy disk was a […]

On The Shooting of Gabrielle Giffords

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

Nobody should realistically blame Sarah Palin for directly causing the incident. Sarah Palin did not pull the trigger; Sarah Palin did not tell the nutbag to pull the trigger; Sarah Palin did not buy the gun. However, there’s a difference between cause and context, and that’s what those of us trying to talk about Palin’s […]

Grading every national anthem, part three

Posted by MGK Published in Muzak

Kazahkstan. A nice, dramatic anthem that’s kind of spoiled because when you listen to it from the start you feel like you came in halfway through instead. 68 Kenya. Sounds like the soundtrack to the most awesome mid-60s nature documentary ever, and specifically the track for the part where the elephants majestically stride across the […]

The Stuff I Liked Best In 2010

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

The Social Network. All the for-reals movie critics have already said how brilliant this is and they are basically completely right about everything. People complaining that the movie isn’t completely accurate – other than missing the point of movies generally – are mistaken because the accuracy here is about capturing the entire ethos of ruthless […]
