Ansaz, the latest

Posted by MGK Published in Al'Rashad, Comics, I Really Should Have A Sociology Category, TV

Energy-Puking Boy (and others): Community Alignment Chart? I’m not going to do what somebody else already did perfectly well just for the sake of doing it with my particular chart design. You can quibble if Abed and the Dean should be switched or if Britta and Troy should be, but it’s reasonably accurate. (If you […]

On sooper-lawyering

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Law, Writering

A frequent request when I do my mock-AMA posts is “why I should write She-Hulk, superhero lawyer” or commentary on legal issues in superhero comics. I will admit I am not terribly interested in the topic, for two reasons: 1.) The law is my job and this is fun and do you really want your […]

Trudeaumania II (featuring King Kong Bundy! Okay not really)

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics

Mike From Nowhere asks: I have my ballot for the Liberal Party election and I’m still making up my mind. Thoughts on the candidates? And Mitchell Hundred asks: Justin Trudeau is going to become the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada (let’s be realistic here). Is this a good thing? Well, yes and […]

Does Babylon 5 Look More Impressive in Retrospect?

Posted by John Seavey Published in Film/TV, TV

I’m watching ‘Babylon 5′ for the first time this year. (What can I say, it’s not exactly something you do over a weekend.) It’s funny, because I remember all of my friends and most of my acquaintances absolutely rhapsodizing about the series when it was on, while I kind of didn’t get into it because […]

The case for heel Cena

Posted by MGK Published in Wrestling

Jim’s WrestleMania post yesterday noted that “fans have been hoping that [John] Cena will turn heel since 2005” and he isn’t wrong about that. Well, mostly not wrong. I was perfectly content to have Cena be a face; he works as a face, after all, there’s no question about that. He drives ratings, sells merch, […]

Wrestlemania XXIX Preview~!

Posted by Jim Smith Published in Wrestling

Say this for World Wrestling Entertainment–by booking their schedule around big names who only appear a few times a year, they’ve turned Wrestlemania into a star-studded spectacle AND a show you can watch without knowing anything that’s been going on since the last Wrestlemania. That might work out for them if they ever get going […]

Roger Ebert, 1943-2013

Posted by MGK Published in Auf Wiedersehen Goodbye

I hereby declare this a thread for your favorite Ebert quotes. The humans, including lots of U.S. troops, shoot at the Transformers a lot, although never in the history of science fiction has an alien been harmed by gunfire.

So, Clara Then

Posted by John Seavey Published in Film/TV, TV

Yes, I’m posting about the new Doctor Who. Because if I do have a “thing” on this website, which I’m quite prepared to entertain arguments that I don’t, it’s that I’m the “Doctor Who guy”. And there’s a new half-season on, because the BBC is too cheap to fund more than about six episodes a […]
