    Business advice

    This paragraph taught me so much about this kind of thing. Thank you for this Bullgrit. This is a very good point. A lot of people that do this kind of thing are great up until the point where they have to advertise themselves. It's not enough to write/illustrate the thing, you have to...

    So, SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie? (SDCC)

    Something we're supposed to aspire to be. He's moral, non-judgmental and helps people. Dragging him down to our level isn't fair.

    So, SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie? (SDCC)

    I have, and it's a good read, as an alternate take on the character, but it's pretty far from definitive. Agreed, Nolan is a director that can adapt. But I'm not talking about color. His approach to Batman doesn't work for Superman. It's to gritty, to real, to trying-to-not-be-about...

    Business advice

    Does anybody run their own business on here? Looking for advice as it's something I've been thinking about. I run a small distribution company for independent comics. Helping people who self-publish get their books into as many hands as possible basically. I am interested in getting into the...

    So, SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie? (SDCC)

    I still think this movie's biggest obstacle is that Nolan/Snyder are at the helm. I like Cavill as Superman, and I think Affleck will be great in the role, but Nolan's style is to dark for Superman, and Snyder is just terrible. A friend said that Affleck's probably pretty grateful to Miley...

    [August] What are you reading?

    I tended to skim read those after a while, they all follow pretty much the same structure. Still fun though, and some of the stuff he comes up with is genuinely weird. I'm currently finishing up Apocalypse Jukebox, a look at our obsession with the end of the world (nuclear/religious) in popular...

    So, SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie? (SDCC)

    There's an article over on bleeding cool (can't link, newbie), that states that 50 000 complained to WB about Keaton taking the role. Look at how much flack Daniel Craig took for being blonde!

    So, SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie? (SDCC)

    Damn I forgot about that. Never actually seen Hollywoodland. Will have to fix this over the weekend.

    Racism, sexism, homophobia, jerkism

    Well with smoking, comes the addiction side of it as well (stating the obvious here I know). But yeah, people work themselves up to a point where they can't be seen to back down. Pride is a big part of it. As is being an outright hateful person...

    Racism, sexism, homophobia, jerkism

    This is an ideal I find myself losing faith in on a daily basis. Some people absolutely can and do change. But the loudest, worst examples of this problem dig their heels in and refuse to listen to anyone else. It's like banging your head off the most ignorant wall. Repeatedly.

    Metal School

    Anthrax line-up has been a revolving door for years now. I stopped trying to keep track of who was where years ago. recently a band called Torche on tour. Become slightly obsessed with their 2 albums. No screaming, all clean singing, but some of the biggest riffes I've heard in years. Really...

    Racism, sexism, homophobia, jerkism

    The problem is, someone can stand up claim that gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married. Or give blood And still be credited as a respectable politician. When really, they should be thrown into a big black hole and forgotten about. It's not bullying, it's taking a stand on some incredibly...

    So, SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie? (SDCC)

    That...that's not bad actually. Conroy is still Batman's voice in my head when I'm reading the books. I'm glad Bale turned the role down. I enjoyed his Batman films for what they were...but they weren't superhero films. and having Superman floating beside him wouldn't fit in with that. Affleck...

    Moffat on Capaldi

    EXCELLENT. That's using Capaldi's style to the fullest. I'm curious to see what kind of costume they end up going with. It's not often I fin an interview with Moffat reassuring, but that was interesting.
