Movies You May Not Have Seen But Should See (Because They Are Good) #6

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks, Movies You Have Not Seen But Should See

The Frighteners. Six years or so ago, it was slightly more obscure, but those movies with the hobbits in them mean that Peter Jackson’s earlier movies have received more attention. Of course, most of that attention went to Heavenly Creatures, which is excellent and deserves it and that’s all right, but The Frighteners is a […]

After a skip week due to dental pain issues (like “being high on codeine for most of a week”), my TV column at Torontoist is once again up and running.

Bing, Bang, Bing, Fuck Off

What the fucking hell is up with PvP? Look, I’m not so naive as to think that the strip is as good as it was three or four years ago, when Kurtz was arguably at his peak, and when the comic was genuinely good. The art’s gotten worse, Kurtz has gotten lazier, and nowadays it’s […]

Were These Guys CPU, or HPD-and-MC?

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Politics

Your daily “life is getting more like Paranoia all the damn time” link of the day: FEMA sets up fake press conference where all the “reporters” were in fact FEMA staffers asking pre-planned questions. (I’m not even kidding a little. This is exactly the sort of thing you would expect to find in a Paranoia […]

Much like Christopher Tolkien’s Entire Career, This Again

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write The Legion, Photoshopp'd

#32 in an increasingly-innumerate series of thirty: One of the things that fascinates me about Legion as a concept is that it is one thousand years in the future, and the variance and similarity with which the DC Universe of “today” would reflect upon its future one millennium later would by necessity at least reflect […]

Something I Liked And Am Only Commenting On Now

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

From JLA/Hitman: One of the things I like about Garth Ennis is that, as a writer, he steadfastly refuses to write slow, lazy arcs around potentially offensive subtopics. What we have here is a fairly subtle and just simply well-written example of this. The subtopic in question here is “Superman is a Christian.” (And, given […]

Oh Em Gee

McDonald’s foods as pizza toppings. The horrific thing is that, even though I do valiantly try and usually manage to eat in a healthy manner, I found myself wondering what this would be like with A&W or Wendy’s.

Ignore The Sound Of Screaming In The Background, Citizens!

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

Sorry for the dead-time on the site; in between extremely major dental issues, not one but indeed both computers flaming out and requiring repairs, and everything else I normally have to deal with, this past week has been hectic. I’ve got a lot of stuff hopefully getting this site back up to speed in the […]

This is bad.

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

No, seriously: Turkey invading Kurdish Iraq is very, very, very bad. On a scale of 1 to 10, it is Bad. It is a recipe for Bad Sandwich, preceded by Bad Salad and finishing with Bad Cobbler. It’s not Strong Bad, it’s just Bad Bad. It’s Baddosity-level is plus-twelve. Cinematically speaking, this is a Gigli-equivalent […]

Someone Warn Our Bald Billionaires

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, The Miscellaneous Sciences And Crap Like That

So let me get this straight: 1.) we have discovered another, Earth-like planet, potentially capable of supporting life; 2.) it orbits a red sun; 3.) it’s a larger planet, and the gravity there is stronger than it is here; 4.) it is twenty light years away, so it could have exploded nineteen years ago and […]
