“I can never think of you as a friend. You can do without a friend.”
― Graham Greene, The End of the Affair
The bible says a lot of things - and whether you believe in its words or not - selective portions of it shouldn’t be used to manipulate the government into oppressing ANYONE
RELEVANT TO FSU RIGHT NOW.
Relevant to any time anyone props up the Bible — particularly Exodus — as an excuse for hate and ignorance.
If this somehow got turned into a series, I would read it no questions asked. I like the idea of a sort of Mad Men meets the Marvel universe focusing on the social lives and love affairs between all the heroes. There doesn’t even have to be any action. Let’s have Hank Pym get jealous that Janet is having an affair with Johnny Storm! Tony Stark and Reed Richards could be kicking it at the Playboy Club! Marvel, make this happen!
From the Hank Pym Photo Archives- Avengers Press Day “Tony thought it would be a good idea to invite some of the press over to Stark Mansion to highlight some of the work we were doing as the Avengers. I took this photo during an interview with a team from The Daily-something-or-other. I do remember the reporter asking us what we thought about other heroes’ roles in the country’s affairs. Apparently their city had, as the woman reporter put it, ‘A one-man Avengers team.’ “
This is a just-received promo image for the upcoming, Martin Lawrence-produced sitcom Love That Girl!, starring The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’s Tatyana Ali, and it’s already one of our all-time favorites. There are about six degrees of sass going on, plus one guy who’s like, “Can you believe all this sass?” (For the record: No, we can’t.)
With the return of Tim Allen to TV and now this, I’m fearing a return to the TV of the ’90s. Soon we’ll see Ben Savage and Rider Strong get new shows. When that happens, I hope we at least get Adam Scott to bully them again. I’d watch that.
Some things:
- It seems Jeffery Tambor and David Cross are becoming one in the same.
- If Wilco ever decided to make one of those videos where celebrities play members of the band may I nominate Jason Bateman for the Jeff Tweedy part.
- Michael Cera seems to have raided my closet or at least copying how I normally dress for work.
- Maeby is still smokin’ hot.
Arrested Development: Then & Now.
I turn 26 today. Something else that is also 26 is R.E.M.’s Fables of Reconstruction, which is not my favorite R.E.M. album, but a very good album nonetheless.
I’m a little sad to see R.E.M. break up, but also pretty happy. I’ve felt they run their course long ago and stopped listening to anything they put out. I wasn’t the biggest fan, but I liked a lot of their songs and frequently give Document a spin.
Oddly enough, the memory I associate the most with the band is the time I got into an argument with a friend of a friend over whether R.E.M. sucked or not. I was probably defending the band mainly because I did not like the guy, but I stuck up for the band and now Michael Stipe owes me one.
Chris Haley is... THE ENTHUSIAST!: Some notes on Justice League #1
This is the best/most concise explanation of why Justice League #1 was disappointing I’ve read.
(because I don’t feel like cluttering up Armagideon Time)
The issue isn’t whether Justice League #1 is a “good” comic. The issue is whether it succeeded in its purpose as the…
I propose a dance off between David Byrne, Thom Yorke, and Craig Finn.
