I just finished The Wire, all five seasons, about a month ago. Best show on television from '00 to '10. It's great that it's finally getting a good following.

The Bunk is the best character.

Just read Torso. Good stuff. I like the art and the story.

Interesting to learn about the downgfall of Elliot Ness. I hear it will be a movie made by David Fincher. Hope it doesnt just look like seven 2

I enjoyed Mike Carey's run until leonardo Manco came into it. I dislike his art very much, it looks messy and dark and covered with ink.

Most disagree but the best is Marcelo Frusin, he sets up space like no one else and can manipulate light and shadow. Plus he uses great mouth close ups which have a great effect. John looked a little young for 53 of course, but the same goes for Manco's.

Sean phillips is right under Frusin.

As for Writers....

I havent read all the comics yet unfortuantely and Mike Carey is the one I am most familiar with. Ennis is good too but I have started to dislike Steve Dillon's art.

Love him from swamp thing though. Alan Moore.

My brother said I would like Hellblazer if i liked Preacher and so I picked up Dangerous Habits and number 184 and 185 and have been getting them ever since and colecting the back issues and tpbs.

Movies they show you at film school.....

I can never see these again because I have had to watch them more than four times each in school.

Blade Runner

The Godfather

Citizen Kane

Koyaanisqatsi

Blue

I drew a blank but there are more.

As far as a favorite and best...? My favorite currently is Unforgiven directed by Eastwood.

Best....I dunno man, hard to argue, Star Wars has shaped how films are made for a long time to come but that makes it influencial not great (even though it is) ummm lets see.....shit..The Graduate?

As for Ridley Scott, Gladiator was crap except for fighting scenes and Kingdom of Heaven was too safe.

My former boss used to say "Charlie" after everything he said.

Hows it going Charlie? We need you to go sort this stuff Charlie?

My name isnt Charlie nor did I work with one.

Um plus people in chicago say a whole bunch of weird shit, Da for The being the most obvious and coming from the need to speak fast.

to see all of history play out from the dawn of man to the end of man and just have heaven be like earth 2, where they tell you that you know get four times the time but youre still going to die and we will see you in earth 3 when you do where youll get even more time.

Other than that just a big castle where you live with everyone you love and miss.

Death in the Clouds is Agatha Christie. Yes someone dies on a plane with a blowdart and Hercule Poirot investigates. I just thought Treasure Island would be a good classic. Have you read The Scarlet Pimpernel. Im trying to think of something light.

I like azzarello's run. Its within each writers rights I think to take the character to a.) a different place and b.) bring a bit of themselves to the work.

Plus I don't blame him for bringing Constantine to America in any way, write what you know and hes american. A little research into english life and backstory may have been a good thing for fans but he wanted to make it his own and do you really think someone who reads a book can peg what its like.

Maybe i just sympathize because I am a fellow Chicagoan. I like "Loveless" though. But I have been itching for a good western for a while and Marcelo Frusin is the best artist ever. I think so anyway.

not a big mann fan myself. everything i see is never up to par. Need to watch the insider though. miami wice..hot new show....

It all depends on what you like. I would suggest a nice light hearted swashbuckler perhaps...since that is what I am reading. Or perhaps a good agatha christie...not to deep, fairly gimmicky though. Try Death in the Clouds. Or have you read Treasure Island?

question?

Was Brian Azzerello making a comment on Bruce Wayne and Batman is the Highwater tpb?

I wonder..

Captain alatriste.... Not too far into it but I recently finished The Club Dumas. and decided to give Arturo Perez-Reverte a good go. Also i saw the trailer to the spanish Viggo Mortenson movie and it was very cool.

Well, is it?

What are you thinking of being this year? Do you still go along with it? Party or no? What was your best costume ever?

What are the rules of character? Must it remain within D&D restrictions?

If only I knew who Mickey spillane is. Thanks for taking the time to read this stuff.

I think it's just people who have had it horribly and need to find answers desperately. No matter how much sense it makes. Sympathy. Mark's probably right about vulnerability.

I don't get porn films with plot. Why even bother...

Also I don't get fans of Phil Collins.

hmmm...perhaps when put together.....?

Anyone other than Ben Affleck.

GlennGarry quotes. Can't help myself.

Ricky Roma "You are here to help us. Not FUck us up."

"You know what it takes. Brass Balls."

"Coffee is for Closers."

"You call yourself a salesman you Son of a Bitch."

No doubt about Stan Winston.

Andre the Giant was better.

But Hulkster can show me the right way to raise children anyway. Just cut all the collars of their shirts.

I'd kill Sarah Conner but not her son John. Instead I'd help him kill Robert Patrick for ruining the X-Files.

Wait wrong movie.

BADASS ROBOTS-r-US

Three seperate occasions why i hate bees.

1. About 6 years old. I sat on a gaddamn bee at a family barbeque and my mom took me to the bathroom to pull the stinger out of my ass.

2. My friends porch about 14 years old. I was sitting having a soda and i leaned back and placed my hand right on top of a bee who stung me in the palm.

3. My frontroom, 19 years old. I sat on the couch and put my head back when i felt a nail hit me in the back of the skull. i thought it was a fualty counch but when i looked it was a bee.

I know these bees are innocent but i never learn to look where i am sitting. Strange its always bees though, I've never sat in food before or anything. food doesn't sting that's why. Someone trying to teach me a lesson I guess.

Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair, one oculd tell by how he walked that he drunk more than his share..... I see ye one first prize.

I just watched Clay Pidgeons with Jaoqiun (SP?) Pheonix and Vince Vaughan. Vince Vaughan saved that film. He was hilarious. the soundtrack was quite fitting as well.

Thanks Mark. But now I recently read most of my own theories in Entertainment Weekly. I guess me and the writers there noticed all the same things, so Im not as excited to share it anymore. I feel now that are probably pretty obvious to anyone who was trying. I thought I had something. Nuts.
