Live From The SXSW Film Festival.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Flicks

Hey, MGK’ers – very occasional guest-poster Dan Solomon here. I’ve spent the past few days busying myself with the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX, and I wanted to share with you the future of film as we know it. Or something like that – anyway, here is a report on the first five movies […]

A real American hero.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Nothing Else Fit, WTF

(this post by non-MGK author Dan Solomon) Yesterday in Seattle, a man drove his pickup truck onto his friend’s roof because "he got a wild hair". I know some of y’all might be quick to judge the man in question because, okay, that’s really stupid, but I want to hang out with him, like, twice […]

Previously On Lost.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Muzak, TV

  (post by not-MGK author Dan Solomon) Because we all love Lost, but can struggle to find the 22 hours required to re-watch an entire season after we know where all of the plot twists are going to come in, it’s clear we’ve all been seeking the ideal medium for enjoying an entire season’s events […]

Picking the Low-Hanging Fruit.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Books

(this post by Non-MGK author Dan Solomon) Hey, you know who’s still a douchebag? That James Frey asshole who wrote A Milion Little Pieces. I read a Vanity Fair article about the guy a month or two ago and thought, you know, maybe he’s not so bad, he probably deserves a second chance. And then […]

The Week In Bad Ideas.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Comics, Film/TV, The Internets, WTF

1. Expecting that the follow-up to The Dark Knight is going to be a film adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns. Michael Doran had a piece on Newsarama that started some of conversation about how the logical sequel to The Dark Knight would have to be an adaptation of Miller’s mini-series, in order to complete […]

Train wreck alert!

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Film/TV, Politics (Other)

You’ll be forgiven if you’ve not heard of An American Carol, David Zucker’s follow-up to Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4, set to precede Scary Movie 5 (seriously, there are five of those fucking things). There’s no trailer, and the movie doesn’t even have an official web page. But, oh, you’re missing out on […]

Well, if Dick Cheney is the penguin…

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Flicks, Politics

Andrew Klavan had a truly batshit (that’s a pun, there won’t be more) editorial in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend in which he argued that The Dark Knight vindicates the Bush administration as noble heroes, left to defend a world that doesn’t understand them. It’s absurd on its face, of course- Batman is […]

The topping contains potassium benzoate.

I swear I didn’t make this happen just by wishing it into existence.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Comics, Politics

Finally, there’s enough information available to make an informed decision on the US Presidential election! Or, at least, there will be soon. IDW is publishing Presidential Comics, a flip-book biography of Barack Obama and John McCain, in October. The Obama side is written by Jeff Mariotte, who will presumably not indulge his tendency to have […]

On "the principle of equality of the sexes".

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Politics (Other)

A Moroccan-born Muslim woman, married to a French man, living in the east of Paris, with three French children, lost her appeal for citizenship on the grounds that she has adopted a radical practice of her religion, incompatible with essential values of the French community, particularly the principle of equality of the sexes. And, I […]

Some modest proposals.

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Bad Comedy

Clearly the American airline industry is in an even bigger mess than usual. They’ve been scrambling for the past few months, trying to find new ways to squeeze some extra money out of their customers and stretch their weak yankee dollars a little bit further. We’ve seen them require customers to pay for checked luggage, […]

But who’ll talk about the really dumb things?

Posted by Dan Solomon  Published in Politics

Hi, Mightygodkingers. My name’s Dan Solomon. I’m one of the new guest posters around while MGK’s ISP is down. I’m an American writer currently living in London. I keep my own blog at www.dansolomon.com. And I have all sorts of weird things to talk about. Like, check this out! Toddlers Who Dislike Spicy Food Racist, […]
