Dr. K and I have been talking a lot about Planet of the Apes and he's decided to Go Ape for a week. I just recently picked up the box set of the films and have been working my way through them, so the parallel observations thing is pleasing, especially as he's a Doctor and I'm a mere Bachelor.
This not entirely safe-for-work gallery of early fanzines is fan-tast-tic. Of course, you'd have to work really hard to not make me like a blog post that features Spock gettin' it on with the Romulan Commander and Han and Leia commencin' to doing some shoops.
Tommy Lee Edwards has posted the cover for 1985 #2 on his blog, confirming that I'll end up buying the damned thing just for the pretty, pretty art.
Ok, Patton Oswalt, we get it. You and Bendis are BFF. And you hang out with Harlan Ellison. Woo!
Since I saw it a couple of weeks ago, I have to demand that someone please produce an adaptation of Speed The Plow for the screen? I don't care if Mamet's gone crazy right-wing on us; I really want a film version with a drugged-up and slightly lethargic Vince Vaughn as Charlie, just so I can hear him say "Life in the movie business is like the beginning of a new love affair. It's full of surprises, and you're constantly getting fucked" in a way I can hear in my head so, so perfectly.
A reminder: Get Off The Internet and The Daily Batman exist to entertain you when this site doesn't. (That's probably most of the time, isn't it?)
THIS WEEK'S BLIND ITEM: You know, getting into extended comment wars before suddenly flipping on "screened" comments and then adding things like "Don't understand the concept of thinking critically about pop-culture?" at the end of a (not at all bad, really) blog post about conspiracy theories in comics and science fiction makes me think that you actually kind of hate your audience, but thrive on their attention anyway.
THIS WEEK'S FACT YOU (MOST LIKELY) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME: I greatly prefer Vehicle Voltron to Lion Voltron.
In addition to those, you can be my fake internet friend on MySpace and follow me on Twitter and look at my photographs on Flickr before buying me a present from my Amazon wishlist. Heck, you can even shop at my Amazon shop if you want to help make sure I have booze money.
