I find myself talking about Batman a lot lately. Well, more like raving. I was at a party last weekend and trapped some cute guy into a discussion about Battle for the Cowl for, like, an hour. I don’t know what’s driven me so batty lately. I think it’s the emotional weight of the story right now. Or maybe it’s the realization that no matter what…
“We are each commanded by His Majesty to defend Hertfordshire from all enemies until such time as we are dead, rendered lame or married.” -Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies If you like your Jane Austen with a little more bloodlust, or if you ever wondered why literary treasure Elizabeth Benet never ripped out a man’s heart and ate it,…
G.I. Joe was one of a few 80s cartoons on heavy rotation during my childhood, but of the cartoons’ cast of thousands, it was Baroness who stole my heart. In G.I. Joe, she’s the countess of cruelty, the queen of mean, and as if her codename didn’t give it away by itself, she’s a royal bitch who will fuck your shit up. Believe it or not, the Baroness and I have a…
I just don’t know if I’m ready for this. Maybe it’s because I’m kind of lazy. I don’t have the desire to be fully immersed in a video game. I like swiping at Stormtroopers with my lightsaber from a safe distance, preferable on my couch. But Xbox 360’s Project Natal would have me jumping around and waving my arms like a crazy person,…
Like most humans (and some parrots), once I get a song stuck in my head, there’s no relief until I subject someone else to it (a la Mark Twains’ Punch, Brothers, Punch). Today, my mind clicked along to the beat of “Coin-Operated Boy” by The Dresden Dolls. I adore The Dresden Dolls, and while I would prefer to have “The Jeep Song” stuck…
I hate to be that guy. That guy who gives all the other fanboys a bad name with his nitpicky review of a revamp of a beloved childhood property. So, I won’t give a nitpicky review, because I don’t want to waste that much time on this. And Land of the Lost wasn’t a beloved childhood property for me. Even at a young age, I thought most Sid and Marty Krofft…
In my never-ending pursuit of a Fanboy of the Month for the site, I often rely on referrals and friend-of-a-friend serendipity. June FBOTM Kentre was recommended by a friend of mine, who said, “I found a guy for your fanboy thing. He’s gorgeous, and he’s modeled before.” “That’s nice,” I said. “But is he a fanboy?”…

Here’s a new Comics Load, back on schedule! I do love my comic book Wednesdays, and not just because I get to harass my Sexy Comics Monger. Like I mentioned yesterday, I’m finding comics to be a great (and cheap) form of escape in these troubling times. For $2.99 a pop, I get to not read the news or think about the horror…the horror…for a few minutes…
I was uncharacteristically quiet last week when the California Supreme Court decided that anything goes as long as the majority votes for it. I was quiet, because 1.) I knew they were going to f**k us over and B.) I am no longer emotionally capable of handling bad news. As soon as the verdict was read, I changed the channel to The Golden Girls, thus starting a week-long…
In my quest to complete Giganta for my Legion of Doom DCUC display, I found quite the gem of the line. Obscure to be certain, but this line of toys gives you one of its finest with Gentleman Ghost. Your casual DC fan probably doesn’t know much about him, and to be honest, I only remember him from one episode of the Superfriends, but was super thrilled to see him on the…
If you’re tired of being an ordinary, everyday sort of geek, and you’re ready for super geekdom on a galactic level, I’ve got three words for you: Star Trek wallpaper. Admit it. You just got a little chill, didn’t you? RoomMates XL Murals wants to help you transform your boring bachelor pad into the bridge of the f**king USS Enterprise! Measuring…
If you’re used to seeing sweet and jovial Paul always finding the good in everything he reviews, wait ‘til you get a load of this! Head on over to the Gay Comic Geek page and check out Paul’s latest review. Another Gay Sequel is apparently another gay sequel too many. The claws are out, and the thumbs are down! Thanks, Paul!
Title: Up Directed by: Pete Docter, Bob Peterson Written by: Bob Peterson Starring: Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai, John Ratzenberger I do like the Pixar. I don’t believe everything they turn out is pure gold, but I am impressed with their success rate. Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo are practically flawless. At the same time, I wasn’t a big…
This week’s Comics Load is a little delayed, so I apologize. First, my comics were a couple of days late because of last week’s holiday, then I was overbooked all week and had to sneak in reading time whenever I could, (FYI: Be careful with your comics in the shower). So without further ado, here’s a quick sampling of the titles I’ve been reading…
It’s been a busy week, and I’ve tried to save some time by doing a little multi-tasking. For me, that means trying to watch TV, read and write all at the same time. So I was working and turned on Here! TV, and thought I’d try to cram some gay culture into my day. And by gay culture, I mean The Lair. In case you don’t know, The Lair is sort of a…
