Then again, maybe it's a matter of limited resources. Or maybe the working electronics were shielded from the blast somehow. Maybe I'm just over-thinking a video game.

When I first read it, it activated my Southern Kneejerk Reflex and I sent a undoubtedly confusing email to my representative on this "distressing" matter.

And as it turns out, I was wrong. In hindsight, the article was pretty poorly written, and the fact that there was no link to the legislation in question should've tipped me off.

But that's the great thing about Internet. There's always someone there to debunk the crap and set the naive straight.

I've only read a handful of his comics, but I liked reading his sketchblog. Everything he posted was just so well drawn, even if it was just a sketch he did to warm up. Truly a master of his medium.

How do you screw up something like Transformers? They're cars and jets that turn into giant robots that shoot at each other. It's not exactly brain surgery, and it sure doesn't need to be any more "extreme."

In comic news, I read The Clarence Principle by Fehed Said and Shari Chankhamma this past weekend. It's not that great. The summary on the back made it sound like a dark, introspective story, and instead it read like some sort of silly, semi-morbid fanfic. The art was ok, but not really anything to write home about.

In an attempt to salvage the day, we went to see Spider-Man 3. Our attempt was foiled by the fact that that movie wasn't very good. The first part was okay, but went downhill fast after the symbiont showed up.

Then, as we were leaving the theater, I noticed that a reflexologist has set up shop next door. So-called "alternative medicine" bugs the crap out of me.

Because it's a really neat look at Marvel's many alternate universes. Plus, I contributed some artwork to it, and you'll have to read the article to see it.

And I still like the Amused icon.

But enough Southern stereotypes.

I was a fan of Tom Goes to the Mayor, and now I'm a fan of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! as well. It's a strange, stream-of-consciousness sort of comedy that reminds me of Monty Python and is therefore awesome. Watch it.

I decided to give Oblivion another shot. Besides it's shortcomings in the uniqueness of its world, I like it this time. That could have something to do with type of character I'm playing. Fireballs can be more fun than swords, apparently. But I still hate goblins.

In other news, the Bitter Films Vol. 1 DVD came in the mail yesterday. If you're not aware, Don Hertzfeld is a great animator and comic genius of the highest caliber. And after looking through the archive in the special features, I can safely say that I do NOT want to be an animator. Too much work and too many late nights at the drawing table. Plus the picture of the eraser shavings he collected after finishing The Meaning of Life was none too inviting.

]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/11426206/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/11426206/ Sat, 13 Jan 2007 18:59:03 PST Idiocracy today. I'm a bit of a Mike Judge fan, so I figured it had to be funny. And yes, it is. Not as funny as Office Space, but then again, few things are. My only problem with it was a few parts were a bit formulaic. But overall, it's a good movie that's way too plausible for comfort.

I love that Life Alert commercial. The one with the old lady who says something like: "When I had my accident, and there was no one there for me, Life Alert was there for me." She has such a accusatory tone in her voice that makes it perfect. I can just imagine her now-grown kids sitting off camera, trying to reason with her.
"Ma, I live in Colorado now. I can't stay with you all the time."
"Thank God for Life-Alert."
"Ma, c'mon."

I'm not really amused right now. I just like that little guy. Dance little guy! Get down with your bad self!

A time to set realistic goals for ourselves, and resolve to meet them. Headfirst with a Bowie knife between our teeth. Shouting gibberish, if we feel like it.
Or we can spend the day watching DVDs and eating tortilla chips and cheese dip.
I know which one I did.

So, tomorrow it's back to work, where I'll be met with a deluge of drawing requests from our dealers. All of them asking, as someone once said, for 10 pounds of @$#% in a 5 pound bag. Cowboys are great.

Incidentally, Superman Returns and Thank You for Smoking are both really good movies.

The guy on TV right now is an incomprehensible pig farmer. Soooooey!

I miss the Christmahannakwanzakaa commercial. It was awesome.
It's ok if you're a Muslim, a Christian or a Jew,
it's ok if you're agnostic and you don't know what to do.

happy Christmahannakwanzakaa to you!

Hearing of his death got me to thinking. Does modern animation have any potential legends? Will history remember Genndy Tartakovsky as fondly as they remember Chuck Jones? Will John Kricfalusi join Hanna Barbera in the cartoonist pantheon? Do all modern animators have hard to spell names?

In other, slightly related things, my brother pointed out that I've been a little obsessed with Gorillaz lately. He has a point. I spent a couple of nights exploring their site, and I've started reading their "biography".
I just really like the concept of a virtual band. And it's obvious that a buttload of time and effort has been put into their creation. Each member is a fleshed out, three dimensional character with a complex backstory. That's more than you could say about most live -action TV shows.
And that's not mentioning Jamie Hewlett's artwork and the musical collaborations, which are all top notch.
So, yeah, I guess I like Gorillaz.

]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/10998759/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/10998759/ Fri, 08 Dec 2006 19:04:02 PST First, I go to one of those sites that sell replicas of animal bones. I go to the prehistoric section and order a replica of a sabertooth tiger skull. (It has to be sabertooth tiger, or else it won't work.) I give them my debit card info and wait a few weeks.
Oh, the wait can be insufferable, but the day does come. I see the delivery truck and smile knowing that the day has arrived. I go out and sign the paper, barely acknowledging the delivery guy. I rip open the package right there in the driveway and there it is. The brownish-yellow hues of a primitive big cat skull. I pull it out of the package and mount it on my fingers, much like a morbid puppet. I then chase the dogs while singing Eleanor Rigby. Well, not so much as "sing", more like "atonally yell". Plus, I replace the word "Eleanor" with "Sabertooth."

SABERTOOTH RIGBY, PICKS UP THE RICE IN A CHURCH WHERE A WEDDING HAS BEEN!
LIVES IN A DREAM!

I then take it inside and unceremoniously smash it with a hammer. I keep hitting it until it's ground into a fine dust, and then mix it into my coffee.
And, of course, I drink it. Why?

Because this grants me the strength of the cats that caused prehistoric man to wet the cave floor at night. And someday I will be strong enough to have my vengeance.

And it will be sweet.

I've started re-reading The Industry of Souls by Martin Booth. It's one of my favorite books, but it'll still probably take me a while to finish it. It just gets harder and harder to find time to read.

13 years.

It's beboping along in its usual surrealist comedy way until the Mayor's voice starts getting deeper. Then HOLYCRAPHESADEMONORSOMETHING! That's it, I think. Tonight's dreams are gonna suck. Then, for added measure, they throw in the mutated newscaster thing after the credits.
Bad sport, Tom Goes to the Mayor. Bad sport.

In other news, I picked up a couple of comic anthologies this weekend.
First, DC's Bizarro World. I wanted it to be better than it really was. Not that it's bad, but it's not really particularly good, either. An overall "meh."
Flight Vol. 3, on the other hand, is as great as the first two. Especially Kazu Kibuishi's [link] uncharacteristically dark war story.

And for the record, yes, last night's dreams did suck.

It just seems so much more pointless and idiotic than any other sport, and that's saying something, I think. And wasteful. They're not eating because they're hungry.

(The T-rated version. I wonder if it'll be worth anything now that it's been re-rated to M?) It's gotten rave reviews, but I personally thought it was just so...
Bland.
Oh, this guy's wearing chain mail armor? Oh. Neat. Morrowing had bonemold armor. And that had cool-looking spikes. But chain mail is neat, too.
Oh, mithril! Not ripped off from Lord of the Rings at all.
All the cities seem to look pretty much the same. And, you know, Morrowind had towns made of giant bug shells. But slightly different architecture styles are nice too. Really.
And then I contracted vampirism. Which really sucks, since it's twenty-three consecutive butt-pains to cure. And so, I stopped playing Oblivion.
I tried Temple of Elemental Evil for my RPG fix. But it's both bland and incredibly frustrating, so I put it away the very day after I bought it. (Luckily, it was only ten bucks, and not really much of a loss.)
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. I guess I need to read more game reviews. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/9124846/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/9124846/ Tue, 20 Jun 2006 12:50:06 PDT [link]

Other things...

I've started reading House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. I'm not ashamed to admit I lost a little sleep the first night. Creepy (and well-written) book.

People have been saying that The Simpsons has jumped the shark for years. But I've remained a fan up until this past season. That's because this past season has really sucked. Even the Ricky Gervais episode wasn't funny at all, which was surprising since I love The Office. It's sad to see one of your favorite shows fall so far.
At least a few Futurama movies are in the works.

And Korgoth of Barbaria. It's great as a parody of Conan the Barbarian and fantasy stories in general, but I don't think it would stand on it's own. It just tries too hard to be over-the-top. It needs to take a page from The Venture Brothers in balancing violence and humor. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/8904568/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/8904568/ Sun, 28 May 2006 18:14:42 PDT [link] It's pretty important, and vital to keeping the internet a have for free speech.

In other news, I secured a boxed set of Monty Python's Flying Circus for around 50 bucks. The entire series for $50. Pretty good deal, if you ask me.

I don't think I like the new interface for the comics at [link] Sure, side-scrolling is nothing but a spit in the face of good web design, but the new "drag to advance" interface is worse, I think. Just let us scroll, man!

Just tonight, I finished reading a book called Star Trek: Vulcan's Glory. It's the story of Spock's first mission aboard the Enterprise. It made me feel nostalgic for the days of seventh grade, when I was going through my Trekkie phase.

@#%! Iron Man. First he turns Spider-Man into some lame henchman, and now he's agreed to hunt down Captain America and turn him in. And it looks like the Fantastic Four are on his side.
But overall, it was a really cool comic. It leaves out whatever opinion the writer might have on the politics involved and lets the reader make up his/her own mind about the events. I gotta side with the "rebel" superheroes, myself. They wear masks for a reason, leave it that way.
Daredevil should really give Tony Stark a dropkick to the helmet. That should show up at some point in the series. Who wouldn't want to see Iron Man and Daredevil wail on each other? Nobody, that's who. (END SPOILERS!)

And this rule must be stated clearly, for the benefit of the hard-of-hearing.

1. I tend to wash my hands a lot. It's not an OCD sort of thing, I think, just that I realize my hands are dirty, and they need to be washed.

2. I think I may have typing dyslexia. I accidentally switch letters when I'm typing. I've had to use the backspace key two or three times just typing these first two items.

3. If my car is dirty, I must draw a face on it. And it's dirty often.

4. I correct myself when I speak. If my pronunciation of a word doesn't sound right, I repeat it, this time O-VER-E-NUN-CI-A-TING. This comes from not wanting to sound like a redneck. Instead, I sound like an idiot.

5. I tap on walls, poles, etc. as I walk by. Again, not OCD.

6. I rarely let the gas gauge on my car fall below half a tank. But that's just being prepared, I think.

So, um, I tag bobbymono, kitschfactor, getbornagain, Shandrial, and Doodle-Pie. Get to it! Or don't. Whatever. I'm not the boss of you. Yet. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/8377910/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/8377910/ Wed, 05 Apr 2006 19:51:47 PDT Oblivion is going to take over my life.

Along with art by John Romita Jr., it was an incredibly addictive comic. I was certain that Marvel was lacing the pages with some sort of drug. I loved it.
And all was good.
Amazing Spider-Man was the first comic book I've ever subscribed to.
Then John Romita Jr. left and Mike Deodato came on as penciller. Sure I was disappointed that my favorite penciller had left the book, but Deodato's stuff was pretty cool too. No big deal.
And all was still good.
Then "The Other" storyline started. I thought it was kinda stupid, myself. But surely, Spidey would come out of this fiasco smelling like roses and flipping some sarcastic remark. Why? He's Spider-Man, darnit.
The latest issue came in the mail, today. I knew what the cover looked like beforehand. But it still didn't lessen the impact.
The new costume.
That freaking costume.
To use my favorite Futurama quote, it's "dumb as a butt."
It's just a costume!, I tried to reassure myself. The story surrounding it will be good! It's Straczynski!
"That's true," I replied to myself.

No. It wasn't. (SPOILER!) Iron Man has basically made Spider-man his freakin' toady. His henchman. His iron-clad little goon.(END SPOILER) The next few months are going to suck.
Yeah, I'm angry about a comic book. A superhero comic book. But so what?
I'm a geek. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7831477/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7831477/ Tue, 07 Feb 2006 18:06:54 PST Eraserhead this weekend. (IMDB Entry.) I'd heard that it was really weird, but I just had to see it for myself.
And now...

You have to see it for yourself.

Seriously, everyone should see it, if only so they can look back on it in their later years and think: "Holy CRAP, that was an odd movie." And then they'd die wondering how they made that creepy baby.

It'd be sad, really...

But, um, yes, I liked this movie. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7660387/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7660387/ Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:39:23 PST
...

And I got the rhythm, man. You just gotta feel it, y'know? You got to feeeel the beat, man.
Feel it in your bones. In your blood.
The rhythm. Yeeeeaaaah.
Dig it, hep cat. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7617994/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7617994/ Mon, 16 Jan 2006 07:53:51 PST Here is his famous I Have a Dream speech.

And...um...it's an okay kids movie. The battle scene at the end is pretty cool, what with all the mythical creatures wailing on each other. But other than that, don't worry if you skip it. You're only missing overacting kids and silly situations (They meet freakin' Santa Claus. Seriously.) ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7189154/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/7189154/ Wed, 30 Nov 2005 19:55:54 PST Bouguereau's Suppression
That's kinda what I was getting at with my extended commentary for Zombie Warhol. The art world needs to drop all its pretentiousness and get back to the pure enjoyment of creating something.

My main problem with pop art is that it just seems so pretentious. "I'm being ironic by painting a can of soup." If I were the guy who designed that soup label, I'd be really offended. Maybe I worked hard on the text placement. Maybe I couldn't find the right shade of red. Maybe some moron ar-teest on television wouldn't shut up so I could concentrate on my work.
Er...yeah. ]]> ~rustym http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/6326696/ http://rustym.deviantart.com/journal/6326696/ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 16:22:00 PDT So, um, thanks. ]]> ~rustym
