Hail to the King
Salon’s King Kaufman makes me feel better. Thanks, King. Please accept my apologies for taunting you after the Pats’ win in ‘02 (his pre-Super Bowl column was titled, “Yes, the Patriots can beat the Rams! The problem is, they won’t”).
ToyFare #123…
…is out today. Go to your nearest comic book shop and get it!
9/11
It was six years ago that the world changed. I haven’t solemnized this occasion every year on this blog, but I’d like to today.
Here’s a link to Biggerboat as it appeared two weeks after the event. At the time, I was just cutting and pasting quotes from various articles to create a kind of collage [...]
Tale of the tape
I don’t know if this is true. Obviously, I hope it isn’t. And even if the employee was following orders, I’m not sure how much of an edge you can gain during the actual game.

I actually requested Netflix add the title to their [...]
Dreaming in ultraviolet near dark
Watched a few movies over the weekend. I don’t really feel like doing individual reviews of any of them, so here are my thoughts based on a five-star rating system:
Masters of Horror: Stuart Gordon’s Dreams in the Witch House
Director Stuart Gordon is the only commercial filmmaker to have made a concerted effort to bring H.P. [...]
Legendary Comic Book Heroes
As I think I’ve made abundantly clear on this site, I collect action figures. I started doing so as a wee tyke, beginning with a little plastic totem of Mighty Mouse, then on into He-Man, Star Wars and the original Transformers and finally Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. After TMNT, I had a brief period where [...]
