Hey, does anyone remember me? Maybe for the best that people don't. Start from scratch, right?

Wow. Hey friends. It's been some time, and it is strange and unfortunate that the impulse to check in just flared up over the last few days.
I'm so sorry to hear of this. There was much...
Happy to skew some stats!
Iron Man - 7
The Incredible Hulk - 8
Iron Man 2 - 5
Thor - 3
Captain America: The First Avenger - 6
The Avengers - 5
Iron Man 3 - 6
Captain America: The Winter...
Hullo. Thx for missing me. I'm just not online much these days. (coincidentally, I'm listening to "Visions of Johanna" right this second, which is the main page subtext on some of these forum links,...
Kinda like how standardized tests only demonstrate how good you are at standardized tests...
A sister of mine was Brutus and was aMAZing.
I'm tempted to contribute my bi-annual current favorite writers list. So here it is!:
1 Matt Kindt
2 Paul Jenkins
3 Garth Ennis
4 Simon Spurrier
5 Alan Moore
All Brits but Kindt. New to...
Love New Frontier, but I'm mostly sad that the Parker books are now done at four. :(
I like modern Frank. The Green Lantern insert in the second to last DKIII issue was amazing. Plus, 300 and Holy Terror are astonishing art books.
Alls I know is that every KSD I've read has been awful and the first two issues of BP didn't convince me otherwise. Obvious genre shoe-horning and terribly awkward dialogue. Stick with Di Campi's...
Yeah, we've got quite a lot of potential plans scattered all over the place. Any input is welcome.
Haven't cheated yet. There are only three puzzles that I solved at random, and still don't know how they work.
Beat The Witness a few days ago with 432 puzzles solved. Now I'm just cruising around the island, finding all the hidden stuff. Bonanzas everywhere. This game's driving me crazy... but not TOO crazy....
Gonna be in Tokyo for ten days at the end of the month here. Leaving on Thursday. Any recommendations?
I remember Rashomon being longer...
I like it when trans expresses excitement to see films like this. Because I hold him up to a higher standard than most. And it's nice to be reminded that even he can be completely wrong about things...
Here's a breakdown of today's acquisitions, responded to in the order in which they were engaged:
Archer and Armstrong 1: this here's the new series by Rafer Roberts (better artist than writer)...
I finally saw Inherent Vice. It is a film of many textural pleasures, but I'm afraid the few histrionics were pretty embarrassing, and honestly, the whole thing felt sub-Lebowski. Brolin was again...
I like to think I'm pretty quick on the uptake. It is only just today I finally got that New Romancer = neuromancer. Doy!
My LCS just gave me a retailer incentive copy of V's 4001 AD. It looks so...
This was amazing. Wats said it right: not lightweight at all, though "understated" is apt - and ironic given its madcap trappings. Richly suggestive thematic interlacing and wonderful character work...
A very good movie! I disagree that the tone was jarring. As with all Chow films, darkness and pain and sorrow are always a whimsical beat away. I also disagree that it was a return to form, as I'm...
I feel like I'm doing everything in The Witness backward. Love it.
Haven't seen Deadpool, but I'm just always a little stunned when I hear praise for JW. There are so many more notable examples of cinematic violence. Anyway, sorry for the snark, though it seems...
I didn't realize John Wick had intersting violence. What'd I miss?
Giving Hitman a reread and it's powerfully making irrelevant so many of my favorite comics. How? By being an exemplar of brilliant artwork and dialogue-writing, skirting a style that gets so many...
