Inspired by the imminent end of Opus, my attendance at the Art Spiegelman talk at the New Yorker Festival and SPX, we’re drafting comic strips…that have been in newspapers. Round 1 is today, tomorrow is Round 2, and Round 3 is Wednesday (though Round 3 has a twist). Order: E, LD, Y, SN,...

Religulous Thoughts [movies] Religulous Thoughts [movies]
Religulous is an interesting movie. It’s a documentary, but at times is not quite a documentary, and at other times, is quite more. It stars Bill Maher, of HBO’s Real Time and formerly of ABC’s Politically Incorrect, and is directed by Larry Charles. Basically, Bill Maher goes around...

Thoughts on the New Yorker Festival [comics and colbert] Thoughts on the New Yorker Festival [comics and colbert]
I had the distinct pleasure of attending two events at the New Yorker Festival yesterday. I saw a talk called Comics 101 by Art Spiegelman, and an interview of Stephen Colbert by Ariel Levy. I won’t summarize the whole talks, but I want to discuss some small thoughts I had. Spiegelman’s...

Hey, I’m back Hey, I’m back
I’ve been back for a week or so, but here’s my official “welcome back” post. If you’ll remember, I had several things I wanted to get done while I was gone. 1. Get Married - done. It was great. The wedding was amazing, and the honeymoon (in Greece) was very relaxing....

October Movie Preview [movies] October Movie Preview [movies]
Here’s a look at the October movies: The Good: Religulous. You may disagree with his religious views (I don’t), but this documentary will be well done, and from all the reviews I’ve seen, he’s not over the top. Larry Charles is the director, and while he’s unproven there,...

September Movie Preview [movies] September Movie Preview [movies]
So I was on hiatus, but I got an idea for a post so here it goes. This is a new feature, where I quickly preview movies for the next month using a completely obvious set of categories. Enjoy The Good: Choke. Despite our somewhat shared view of the last Palahniuk adaptation, this should probably turn...

Hiatus? What do you mean? You haven’t posted in like a month! And that was just a youtube post from scrubs! Well, given the inspiration of Rosie O’Donnell (I saw her once at Ruby Fu’s near Times Square), I am going to formally announce my hiatus from posting. My wedding is in ~...
