My cranky rantings have been published. Scroll down to the second missive. Sure, it's just a letter in a free weekly, but hey. I'll take what I can get. Especially when the words "cocksucking" and "Stan" and "Lee" are together in the same sentence.
This week's books were a fine, fine lot. Chip Zdarsky's new Prison Funnies series launched with a first issue that made me laugh, cringe, and laugh again. Funniest thing since Mantooth clawed its way into my heart. It was worth $3 for the introduction alone, which sang the praises of sweet, sweet booze.
The trade for My Monkey's Name Is Jennifer came out. Get it. Just...get it.
Finally, Warren's put out Switchblade Honey and it's fun and stuff but, like, dude. No ending. No drama to it. Yes, it's the Anti Trek, but that's all it has really going for it.
Keef wanted a list of ten HK movies he has not seen that he should. This is that list.
Gen X Cops. Fun.
King of Comedy. Funny. Stephen Ciao rules.
Gorgeous has the harshest Jackie Fight Scene Ever. No props.
Task Force takes the Woo meme and turns it on its ear.
God Of Gamblers is like Lucky (on FX) with guns and Chow Yun-Fat.
Magnificent Butcher has Sammo kicking everyone's ass.
Storm Riders is based on a comic and I've talked about it before.
Hero is so. fucking. gorgeous. Liked it more than CTHD.
Once Upon A Time In China has Jet Li, too. He plays a folk hero.
Fong Sai Yuk (Parts 1 and 2) has even more Jet Li.
