Thanks to cygnia I found out about this tale of polyamory gone wrong. For which I will never forgive her...

New Comics Day

Only 2 pulls this week. But first lets mention Marvel's Annihilation or the Event in Space that has been going on at the same time as the stupid Civil War. Today I read through the final issue to tide me over until the 3 or 4 trades come out. 4 4-issue minis and then a 6 issue mini. And the finale hit today. AND IT WAS AWESOME. Every page seemed to have something to blow me away. A pissed off Galactus. Kree soldiers with big-ass cannons and rocket packs. Ronan the Accuser being bad-ass. Richard "Nova" Ryder vs. Annihilus. A new Quasar. Thanos smiling. Blastaar and his Space Knight Underground Resistance. Yes. Blastaar, the guy who looks like an angry Space Muppet, teamed with the FRICKEN SPACE KNIGHTS. Every person involved in the crap that is Civil War needs to go and sit at the feet of Keith Giffen and beg to be taught how to write super-hero comics...

Anyway, back to my pull list. First we've Jack of Fables. And does this finish up last issue's Jack Frost story? Of course not. In the words of Jack: Okay. So that bit with me and the Snow Queen, where I became Jack Frost? That one didn't end so good. Maybe I don't feel like finishing that one right now. I'll get back to it later. For now, try this other story on for size. It'll be more suspenseful that way. And anyway, they'll fix it in the trade. Ah metahumor. Y'know I love it. So this issue has Jack in Vegas and waking up to find himself married to a hot blonde number...

And then we've got a new Ex Machina where Mayor Hundred finalizes his plans for the 9/11 Memorial and then goes and meets with his mom. Plus some weird guy in a diving suit shows up, ranting and raving and tossing lightning...

Idiocracy

The premise of this movie by Mike Judge is fairly simple. Its 500 years in the future, and thanks to the fact that morons outbreed smart people America is full of idiots incapable of solving any of their problems. Lucky for them Joe (the Army's most average soldier) and Rita (a hooker) volunteer to take part in a cryrogenic research project. Only instead of being suspended for a year, they're lost untill 500 years later. Eventually Joe is recruited by President Camacho (Ultimate Smackdown champ and porn star) to be the new Secretary of the Interior...

Very much a In the Land of the Blind the One-Eyed Man is King kind of story. Fairly funny, though not as good as Office Space. Still the fact that it was basically fast-tracked from studio to a miniscule release to a dvd release means its destined for Cult Classic status...

Baby!

Congrats to seanmonster and qraccoon on the new baby! :kermit arms: Yay!
