None of you were there for me, so I just ordered the Hofbrau Seasonal, which was delicious. 😾

I’m trying this Jever Pilsner. I usually get some Hofbrau beer or another, but want to switch things up.

If you have Oktoberfest beer recommendations, I would like to hear them.

No, they said they were ”major deaths“, so no preexisting conditions will be counted.

Six deaths per show. Will it be you? -Little Jimmy in the front row, who booked tickets late and now must die. -Tommy & Timmy on the aisle, since Tommy has a weak bladder and it blew up. -Janey and Johnny who got primo seats, but they're not theirs so uh we shot them in the face.

Can’t believe Kevin Feige is going to kill six people at every AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY screening. How do they decide? Will there be William Castle style gimmicks for each spectator‘s death? Bring back the Punishment Poll!

I don't know, they don't pay me to review the prestige pictures. (I'll still likely see it; I am, after all, a PROFESSIONAL)

Guys, I'm starting to feel like DIGGER isn't really a musical.

27) LUDA, by Grant Morrison. Morrison’s usual overheated creative genius is here in their debut novel, but flattened to a distracting extent. It sounds like their voice, alright, but laid on thicker than usual, as if to overcompensate for the change in medium. Stifling, if still mostly good.

Sometimes I’ll say things just to see if Jene can hear me, like, “Oh wow, Liam Neeson keeps peeing his pants” just now. (she couldn't hear me)

"And cover me with kisses, baby! Cover me with love--for my country. Roll me in the stars and stripes: I'll never get enough," Hegseth added while breathing through his mouth, clearly misremembering that Blondie song

Come for a brief history of Momotaro as a Japanese propaganda symbol turned Taiwanese pop culture icon, stay to hear me butcher the pronunciation of “Kuomintang.”

Vinegar Syndrome will soon release a third installment of their MADE IN HONG KONG bluray box sets featuring the gonzo 1988 Taiwanese kids fantasy MAGIC OF SPELL. I recorded a new audio commentary, all about Momotaro in Taiwan. More details here: vinegarsyndrome.com/products/mad...

KEEP REAL ends its week-long NYC run tomorrow, when it only plays once (and at noon). So I'm catching a mid-afternoon matinee today.

Put in more garlic than the recipe suggested, but next time I’ll add more garam Masala, which added a lot of flavor.

Made a delicious keema palak tonight for dinner using a recent WaPo recipe. Spinach, ground chicken, plum tomatoes, garlic, ginger, garam masala, Serrano peppers (instead of Thai chiles), yellow onion, red chile powder, etc. Can recommend, though I expected it to be a little more curry like.

(I also technically wrote about comics before I started writing about movies, with early bylines in the Comics Journal both at the end of high school and the start of undergrad. So that definitely informed my critical values, I guess)

In the 90s, I absorbed so much talk about how the comics industry was at a creative & financial nadir that eventually, I realized, I didn't have to buy into every would-be mass-culture event. I struggled with that for years & still do, but mostly find that allowance to be liberating.

90s nostalgia has officially come full circle (I only knew it had \ begun in earnest when comics nerds were not only praising "the Clone Saga", but also "Maximum Carnage", two crossover storylines that, even as a kid, I knew had a bad reputation and was /still/ let down by both somehow.)

Many, many years ago, a group of us on a web forum convinced one of the other members that The Dark Knight was a musical. We were so convincing that she mentioned that fact to her brother. Stupid brother ruined the running gag.

Cristian Mungiu's Palme D'Or winning FJORD? Could be a musical. But also, reportedly not.

Now that we know DIGGER isn't a musical, I feel like we can quickly go down a list of anticipated fall releases and first speculate and then dismiss rumors that they're a musical. For example. The new Lee Chang-dong picture? Could be a musical. But supposedly isn't. Boom, onward.
