Emmy Awards
Emmy Awards were given out. I swear to God, they are the exact same every fucking year. someone should make these emmy voters actually watch these shows. West Wing is NOT good anymore. Everybody Loves Raymond and Will & Grace are NOT that funny. At least she didn't win, but why was Jennifer Aniston even nominated? Why has she won in the past? She is NOT that great an actress; every role she's ever done is identical to the last. there's no range. they shouldn't award that. Its like watching home movies and saying oh look! That family member is acting exactly like they always do! We should give them a tiny statue!
The only deserving winners this year was The Daily Show which won for best variey/comedy and best writing for variety/comedy, and William H. Macy for the TV movie Door to Door. The movie was overly sappy and whatnot, but he was great in it.
There was a win for Samurai Jack but it tied with some "through a child's eyes" fluff piece about 9-11. Fuck that. Its been 2 years, get over it. American government's already used it as an excuse to kill thousands of Iraqis who had nothing to do with it, what else do they want for fuck's sake?
Another tiny statue for Jennifer Aniston no doubt...

Rob, this one's for you.
from Comics Continuum:
HarperCollins has acquired rights to the first novel by Warren Ellis. The book is targeted for an early 2005 release.
Here's how the book is described:
"This comic tour of the dark underbelly of American culture features a down-and-out private detective who is hired by heroin-addled G-men to find the lost secret Constitution to the United States."

![]() | I've never reviewed a comic on here before. One guy on the Fourth Rail gave this new issue of New X-Men 5 out of 10. The other gave it 8 out of 10. For me the ONLY reasons I'd take marks off is because I fucking abhor Phil Jiminez' art. Its detailed sure. Good for him. Too bad everyone looks the same, his style has virtually no flair and looks so 70s, bland and pedestrian compared to almost every other comic on the shelf, that God help me I think I prefer Igor Kordey's work on the book. He makes the prefessor look like he's the same age as everyone else, no one is older or younger in this book. He can only draw people in their 30s.
Anyway, basically everything, and I mean almost everything that Grant Morrison has done on New X-Men since the beginning of his run has been set up to come to this. A plan so vast and well-planned its almost mind boggling. In the end it actually seems so simple, such an easy conclusion, but the fact that not a single person had the vision to see what direction it was headed makes it seem brilliant. Grant Morrison has a mind unlike anyone I've read from before, because he seems to just see the BIG picture. Everything from Invisibles to the Filth is just so huge, but he breaks it down into small events. Good stories that are all slowly setting up support beams and concrete for what will eventually be a large complex. Just trust me. Read it. Get a scanned copy on-line, photocopy a friends' copy, speed read it in the store, or buy it, its worth it. |

Why is it British comedians are always funnier? Monty Python, Benny Hill, the Young Ones and now...
THE 118 118 EXPERIENCE
Funny. Not as funny as those other names I mentioned... but I still find them funny enough to really want to see more.

Construction Worker Survives Drill Through Head
The construction worker lost an eye but survived a freak accident without brain damage after falling from a ladder and onto an 18-inch-long drill bit that impaled his skull.
"I ran my hands up the drill bit, up to my eye, and put my other hand in the back of my head and felt it coming through the back of my head," he said. "And that's where pretty much the shock set in."
His nephew thinks he'll be able to laugh about it someday..

OPUS IS BACK!!
![]() |
I'll never forget reading the final Outland collection ever at Max Sports or whatever in Fort St. John, after finally finishing playing that God-forsaken sport of Squash as part of my Jr. High Gym class. The end was so final. At least when Calvin & Hobbes left it was left open. In Outland the brainy kid's family hit it big in the stock market with MicroSquash and left town, (after he had a computer implanted in his face) the womanizer who always got laid 'came out' and settled down. And Opus left Bill to finally go back to Antarctica where he was reunited with his mother. Talk about finality. But now he's BACK, BABY! Returning in a new Sunday strip entitled Opus and in a new feature film written and directed by Mr. Berkeley Breathed himself! More here. |
