Since we last visited the Goddamn Batman, the cinematic Batmen have (a) quit being Batman and (b) used guns to (c) kill people. Comic readers might see any of those three points as inherently antithetical to the Darknight Detective’s ethos, but they are simply how the character has been interpreted for a modern cinematic context. In the spirit of alternative interpretation, we present our own Goddamn Batman. He is creative, a foodie, and a dance machine. He aspires to be a master chef, and to have his own bakery, from which he will sell 40 cakes. ( Read more... )

Sorry, y'all. I'm never on LJ, much less DW, anymore. I just needed to do a little housekeeping today. Can't make a promise to be more blee-blee-blee than usual. Maybe I should try. Sigh. So very tired.

I am most active on Twitter, then on Tumblr, neither with the gab-tastic fury I used to bring to the blogging world, though.  The long game has become so very long, and my fire is burning low.  And if you really need to get a hold of me, try my username at Google's email service and I might just get it (along with the mail for some dude from New Delhi who really needs to stop sending me his taxi receipts for Christ's sake).

Anyhow.  Hope all are well, or as well as possible given our circumstances. 

Surprise!

Take Jim Nantz's and Phil Simms's commentary tracks from a game of Madden 13, feed it through Windows 8's voice recognition system, and enjoy what Joel McHale once called, during the first incarnation of Spaghetti Cat, "for lack of a better word, art." The Cold War burns hot and Hollywood looms and gender politics arise....

And I got more work done on my terrible face; I got two telephone-pole-like posts put in about an inch deep into bone. They ain't comin' out. They may be the most stable part of my body right now. But the stitches tickle and it's still more than a bit painful, and I just ran outta meds. This is on course to becoming the worst Christmas vacation ever, of Griswoldian proportions. Joy to the goddamn world.

This is your present. I didn't wrap it.
