Random Thoughts on DC Rebirth

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Comics

This isn’t going to be thoughts on the actual issue; I made the decision back in about April 2007 (during the execrable ‘Countdown to Final Crisis’ and ‘Amazons Attack’) that I wasn’t going to be spending any more money on DC’s comics without a wholesale shakeup of their senior management. Apart from a few good […]

Announcing RA-BOKA: KINGDOM OF THE BOUND

Posted by MGK  Published in Al'Rashad, Comics

For a while, people have been asking “when are you going to release a collected edition of Al’Rashad like you said you wanted to do, we want to buy that.” Yes! We did ask about that! In answer, Davinder and I have set up a Patreon page for the sequel to Al’Rashad, entitled Ra-Boka: Kingdom […]

Review: Shrill

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Books, You Should Read

This is the most depressing goddamn book I’ve read in ages. Everyone should go out and read it right now. Okay, that probably needs a little background. Like, for example, what the hell I’m talking about. ‘Shrill’ is the new memoir by Lindy West (of Jezebel and GQ fame), which jumps around a bit chronologically […]

Ezra Klein Is Wrong About Civil War (Again)

Posted by MGK  Published in Comics, Politics

Warning: some spoilers for the new Captain America film follow. Oh, and the Civil War comics, but those are like a decade old now so who cares. Ezra Klein has a column up at Vox wherein he explains that Captain America is in the wrong in Captain America: Civil War and Iron Man is the […]

Amazing Race 28, Episode 12: “The Only First That Matters”

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Film/TV, TV

And we’re back! Phil recaps not just the episode this time but the entire season, reminding us that over the course of eleven previous legs, the happy sparkly friendly Tumblrvinstagramchat generation was gradually whittled down to perpetual bickerfest Dana and Matt, barely competent but adorable and lucky Sheri and Cole, and five-leg winner Tyler and […]

I Want This Soooooooo Bad

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Film/TV, Flicks, General Nerd Crap, General Nerd Shit

For those of you who haven’t seen it, ‘Civil War’ was a great movie. It was an incalculably vast improvement on the comics, with characterization that felt more grounded in the previous movies and less crammed with Millar-esque swerves for the sake of swerves (part of this is that much of the genuinely despicable stuff […]

Amazing Race 28, Episode 11: “That’s Money, Honey”

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Film/TV, TV

And we’re back! Phil helpfully reminds us that last week’s episode was mostly about the Double-U-Turn, plus a heaping helping of fetch-and-carry, and that it resulted in the final exit of the Frisbee Boys. We’re down to the Final Four now, and the nice times are over. Right?

Assorted thoughts re: Donald Trump and such

Posted by MGK  Published in Politics

On Trump Seeing a lot of “the sky is falling” sentiment last night and this morning from people who are genuinely shocked that a blatantly racist and misogynistic buffoon like Donald Trump could become the de facto Republican nominee, and who have equated that with Trump’s ability to win in the general election. I’ve also […]

Amazing Race 28, Episode 10: “Monkey Dance!”

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Film/TV, TV

And we’re back! We begin the episode with Phil’s reminder that Rachel had a hard time lugging around buckets of water, while Brodie had a hard time putting a kite together. Brodie and Kurt escaped elimination by the skin of their teeth, but it’s a sobering reminder of just how much Kurt has carried the […]

Apparently I Have a Monkey’s Paw I Didn’t Know About

Posted by John Seavey  Published in Comics, Film/TV, Flicks, General Nerd Crap, General Nerd Shit

As I have previously mentioned, the one bright spot about the existence of the otherwise extremely uninspiring and uninteresting ‘Batman v Superman’ movie (really, I remember having huge misgivings as soon as the project was announced–Zack Snyder, talking about DKR as his inspiration, feels like it could be the dictionary definition of “toxic masculinity”) was […]
