Clearly I didn't do my homework. Now I will be forced to purchase it. Thank you.

Kind of a long shot, but has anybody seen the 1995 movie Theodore Rex, starring Whoopi Goldberg and a dinosaur? My friends and I read the premise and are willing to pay pretty much any amount of money to track it down.

Oh, and I just bought D.E.B.S.--perfect campy trash.

Found the Maggie Gyllenhaal video:

And IMO it's a compliment.

And I meant it as such.

 

As Arrazello once said, those Gyllenhalls are good breeding stock.

 

I suppose I'm flattered. Thank you. Anybody see the writer's strike 'speechless' black-and-white video with Maggie Gyllenhaal that made the usual rounds a few weeks ago? Super-hot.

You rather look like a Gyllenhall.

I promise I'm no relation.

Me and the girlfriend (I'm the one in the tie):

In a restaurant in my hometown in Kentucky:

So that's what I look like.

Oh, and I'm a big ancient history nerd. I'm in my second semester studying Akkadian--my cuneiform is still pretty rudimentary but once it's all converted into English characters I can do a fair job translating. I'm planning to tackle Middle Egyptian next year, which is harder because of the lack of vowels. The biggest bitch about studying ancient languages is the hideous spelling--in a society with 1% literacy, where you're writing down stuff everybody already knows because it's been circulated in oral form, spelling is not your first concern.

Well well one more each from Michigan and London. What is it about those places that turns people into fans of Hellblazer?

 

We already live in Hell?

I actually went on a date with a girl from Hell once. It's about halfway between Ann Arbor and Lansing. She was pretty obnoxious and I agreed to the date just so I could tell "girl from Hell" jokes.

Are there a load of Michiganders around? I'm not originally from here--I was born in Virginia and grew up all over the south, mostly Kentucky--but I've adopted it wholeheartedly.

Hi--my name's Jessie, I recently got into Hellblazer after a couple of friends recommended it. I've read the seven or eight TPBs my library had and just downloaded the whole run of the series. I'm on #35 at the moment and estimate the project of reading all of Hellblazer will take me a month, two tops. This is the first comic I've ever gotten into and I really dread visiting my cliquey local comic book shop to buy the new ones--I'm convinced they can tell I don't belong. :icon_redface:

I'm an American student at the University of Michigan studying creative writing and ancient Egyptian & Mesopotamian literature/myth/culture/history/etc. I like Iggy Pop a lot and I know a fair number of hippies.

Good day to you, ladies and gentlemen.

Anybody read Hal Duncan's Vellum & Ink? Excellent books, difficult to summarize--fractured sci-fi fantasy mythic retellings with queer themes, I guess. I reread Vellum recently, after having done my own translations of some of the Mesopotamian myths he adapts, and got waaaaaay more out of it. However I'm not willing to do extensive research into commedia dell'arte just to understand Ink.

Also reading John Cheever's Journals, which is making me feel better about not being an alcoholic/conflicted about my sexuality/a compulsive liar/an asshole.
