#823 – Comics Confessions

June 4, 2014June 4, 2014 | xeyeti

I honestly think that, if I never read Watchmen ever again, I wouldn’t feel any sort of tremendous loss. Yeah, I understand it’s an important work and all that. I get that it showed comics can tell Serious Stories, though we (comics readers) need to have a conversation as a community about how “serious” apparently has to for some reason include rape.

I mean, is there anyone out there who actually enjoys reading Watchmen? Someone who reads it for pleasure, and not because it’s part of some canon of Serious Graphic Novels?

Inspiration doesn’t always hit when you want it to. Thankfully, the Wife is there to pitch in.

#821 – On Party Times

June 2, 2014June 2, 2014 | xeyeti

I do feel quite old sometime. Parties that start after about 4:00 or 5:00 feel way too late.

I am possibly an old curmudgeon ahead of my time.

#820 – Let It Go

June 1, 2014June 1, 2014 | xeyeti

Look, I totally get that this is one of the few movies for children that depicts girls as being independent and capable and off doing their own thing and not needing a guy. That’s awesome. But it doesn’t hide the fact that the songs are mediocre at best and there’s only about ten minutes of actual plot to the thing.

Yeah, that’s right: I said “Let It Go” was mediocre. Come at me, Internet.

Look, it can’t all be lightsabers and song lyrics. Sometimes, you just gotta dance.

#818 – Equilibrium

It’s been the same for four weeks, down to the tenth of a pound. It’s bizarre.

Though, admittedly, I haven’t been able to exercise lately due to a knee injury. Now that it’s finally healing up, I can start walking again and hopefully drop down off this plateau.

#817 – Clone War Blues

May 27, 2014May 27, 2014 | xeyeti

I’ve been watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars for a few weeks now. Blew through a couple of seasons over Memorial Day Weekend. It’s actually pretty well done, considering it’s a cartoon bridging the gap between two of the prequel movies.
