David Goyer is the Worst, And We’re On A Break

So this post could be the logical continuation of my Shame Day post on Akira, which focused on Hollywood’s complete lack of respect for a film they’re looking to remake. David Goyer, a man I already cared very little for as a screenwriter, said some disparaging things about She-Hulk in a podcast [which from my understanding has since been edited somewhat]. He went on, however, to insult comic book fans everywhere, with the words:

“How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?”

<pause>

“How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”

I could certainly delve into this much more, but Chris Sims over at ComicsAlliance already has, and done so quite well. Check out what he has to say, because he smartly points out that the one who just said these things has a hand in the future of DC’s cinematic universe. I’ll bring everything concerning that terrible man to a close with the following two panels-

Anyway, as the title of this post would suggest, I have some blog news for you all. Continue reading

Moving on up… (i.e. No Post Today)

I beg your forgiveness yet again. I’ve fallen behind in my posts because John and I decided to try to race home in time for Easter. We’ve spent the better part of today getting ready to move up North for the summer. Alas, student life involves living light and moving often… at least if you hope to make any money over the summer.

I wish my house was like Howl’s.

I promise I will be back on top of my regular posts by next week. Have a fantastic long weekend!

Retract, Don’t Do It, When You Want To Go Do It

To the few people who read Gordon’s Fame Day post for today, and for those who may be looking for it,

After speaking with him the two of us decided that the post he wrote was not up to the standards we try to hold the site to as a whole. To absolutely give credit where it’s due he’s had an ungodly amount to do at work, which cut into the time he had to write for the blog.

My post will still be going up tomorrow, and you can expect us to more or less get back to our normal schedule.

That’s all for now,

-Evan.

PS: Here’s a gif of my favourite current Survivor contestant to end things. Woo’s got them ninja skills.

I’m givin’ it all I’ve got cap’n!

Well, I said I would try to survive this semester without taking breaks on my weekly post, but I just don’t think I can keep up. I’m hopefull that after this most evil of weeks (when most of my final papers are due) that I can get back to my regular Saturday posts.

I’m so sorry.

Taking a Breaky-Break

Gordon pled and so I capitulated that as a blog we would be taking the week off [with the sole exception of tonight’s 2 Broke Girls review, which I’d like to stay consistent with]. While this particular section of the internet will be quiet for the next seven days, our hardworking bloggers will not simply be sitting around doing nothing-

This week will be devoted to the blog’s Facebook page.

Yes, we realized that the only way we could possibly improve was to expand into what I hear the cool kids are calling “social media”. On our page you’ll be able to catch updates to this blog, of course, but also links to articles that we think are interesting or important [ideally both]. It’s also a great place to share your opinion, or suggest topics for us to write on.

So head on over there with the knowledge that we’re making efforts to liven things up. Please support our efforts as we try our best to get with the times.

EDIT: No 2 Broke Girls tonight. Best break week ever!

ANOTHER EDIT: Just realized I will be reviewing the final episode of Farmed and Dangerous, so there’s that actually.

Things Didn’t Work Out As I’d Liked

Due to some last-minute freelance writing and a doctor’s appointment I had to take my granddad to today’s post will be going up late. Here’s a bit of filler in the meantime, a TV promos piece I did for The Magazine website:

What’s On TV: January 2014

Oh, and here’s what I stayed up working on, two recaps for the ceaselessly entertaining Total Drama All-Stars for the same site:
