The Five Songs Project, Results Post #1: A-B

Posted by MGK Published in Interactive Fun Time Party, Muzak

A while ago, I asked commenters to list five songs they thought I should listen to / that they would recommend to me, and that I would listen to them and write about my reactions. There were a huge lot of them, so we’re going to do this in stages. 二手玫瑰－官封弼马瘟—苏阳: Well, that […]

Thoughts on ‘Marvel NOW’ and on Marvel Now

Posted by John Seavey Published in Comics

Yesterday, I went into a comic book store and I picked up a comic book set in mainstream Marvel continuity for the first time since…2007? The last thing I really remembered reading was ‘World War Hulk’, which I gave up on because I realized that it had been four years since a major Marvel story […]

The Five Songs Project

Posted by MGK Published in Muzak

Dave Lartigue did this a while back and I thought it was a good idea, so I’m stealing it. I am always looking for new music to add to my iPod playlist, so: recommend five songs to me. Any genre. Whatever you feel like recommending. (WARNING: I am not historically a fan of any metal […]

The beautiful people

David Uzimeri on Twitter complained thusly: legitimately sad shailene woodley won't be mary jane because i'm still annoyed by the nerds saying she wasn't hot enough — David Uzumeri (@DavidUzumeri) January 21, 2014 And I had heard nothing of this, mostly because I tend to ignore nerd news about casting unless people make a fuss […]

Less than meets the eye is more

Posted by Jim Smith Published in Comics, General Nerd Crap

I read this in IDW’s April solicitation for its Transformers comic: “MEGATRON joins the AUTOBOTS! The perfect jumping-on point for new readers!” This may in fact be the least true statement in comics. I don’t know, it seems like the whole point of Megatron is that he is irredeemably evil. I guess it’s the cannon. […]

The 2013 Not Quite The King William’s College Quiz – ANSWERS

Posted by MGK Published in General Nerd Crap, Interactive Fun Time Party

So we are well into 2014, and commenters have had their chance to answer as many questions in the 2013 Not the King William’s College Quiz, and have mostly done fairly well. A few questions I thought were gimmes just got missed, a few I thought were stumpers got answered quickly, that sort of thing. […]

I keep wanting a Hank Pym pun other than “Pym’s Cup” but nothing comes to mind

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Flicks

A lot of kafuffle was raised yesterday about Michael Douglas being cast as Hank Pym in the Ant-Man movie. First off, we’re not sure why there is kafuffle anyway because come on, it’s Ant-Man for crissake, it’s not like we’re recasting Wolverine or anybody important, it’s just Ant-Man, whose superhero name is a punchline and […]
