Old School RULES

One of the greatest and wildest cover ideas any comic ever had. The cencorship idiots almost jailed the publisher if I remember right...

Old School RULES

Didn't know about "Doomed" = I'm going to look for it, thanks for the suggestion!

Awright man! Pretty much some of the radest reads/looks of the last years. ZVR was crazy good, I heard they got another one in the base for later this year. The "Amazons" follow up is great, I love it when TRASH is treated with such class. Did you read that DOOMED special by Ashley Wood? Here's the cover:

It's loaded with, erm, KILLER black and white stories. I really dug his take on TANK GIRL too... Would be awesome if those guys did another run of Supermarket, like you said it was totally sweet. James Jean of course is the main man!

I like "Supermarket" by Brian Wood and Kristian Donaldson about a suburban brat hunted by the Yakuza in Woodland Hills, CA. The artwork's pretty awesome. Have you checked out "Zombies Vs. Robots" by Ashley Wood? It's demented as fuck!

Hello

I Just finished Persepolis and International Bob, and i'm just about to rip into American Splendor. I recomend Love & Rockets, Magic Whistle, Marshall Law (if you love/hate super heros) and Blankets (if your in to mooshy lovey dovey stuff). Evan Dorkin is superb too especialy DORK

kelly :)

Ha! That Magic Whistle looks rad! Marschall Law is good times trash - kinda like Judge Dredd in concentrated form with very awesome artwork. I'm just reading the Gilbert Hernandez books he does outside the Love and Rockets world, "SPEAK OF THE DEVIL" is creepy-great. I love Persepolis and Blankets, some big books to dig in which is always a plus. Evan Dorkin is fabulous. Maaan, Milk and Cheese - that's a freakin' crude thing. I love it... I still need to look at DORK though. Wow, sounds great on your side PJ! I wanna read all the single L&R books...

i slept on fables. only read the first issue. i need to get the rest. i dig love & rockets, but only have read the first 3 trade paper backs.
i just scored a dream come true. my ex girlfriend now works at DC & get whatever she wants for free. hence, i now get any DC/wildstorm/vertigo/etc title for free. even old stuff. i may actually try to read 52 now...

Yeah, I love "Y"! I read it in the beginning but have to catch up. It's come to an end now, right? I will be bad and read the books, altough I prefer the pamphlets. But it will be a blast to read in packs too, I think. Ex Machina is another title I sidetracked for all the wrong reasons, I know it's damn good - just no time... I have heard about AIR, glad you mentioned it, I need to check it out.
Vertigo is one of those things you can hardly withstand, there are a lot of experiments for the fact that it's DC. Have you read that FABLES, or the newly revived "HOUSE OF MISTERY"?

Just found this video....that guy from mythbusters is a giant douche If you ARE going to to be OCD about things, at least be right...


What celebrities have you met that have turned out to be complete douche bags?

sure ¡
when i saw the film
i tought it ok tarantino
but definitely rodriguez planet terror will be better ¡

Yep, those head wounds make ya bleed like a stuck pig.

i know what ya mean.... i suddenly have the craving for raspberry ripple icecream.....

Hey, just got this photo from a gig I played a few weeks back in which I cracked a wine glass over my head and started spurting blood everywhere...

My profile is: http://www.librarything.com/profile/JimmyShelter I'm also on aNobii, ( http://www.librarything.com/profile/JimmyShelter ) which is a comparable site. It looks better, but is less complete then LibraryThing. I haven't tried GoodReads yet.

Here's the info on this year's league: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1 The ID# is 184921 and the password is sizemore. 7 teams so far. Anyone else interested?

I heard that Scott (Sockalexises or whatever) and Rich (Ducky Boys) are interested. Not sure if either is a member here yet, though. I'll see if I can get their attention on Facebook.

Is somebody starting a league? I'm already the commissioner of the GP Hockey league and I run the Noise Board baseball league. I'm not really interested in running another league but I'll join in.

Thanks, Andy. That pic reminded me that I needed to snap a photo of mine:

Bumped!

Thanks, SarahJayne - haven't seen Chori Chori so looking forward to checking out the similarities.

Raj Kapoor's 'Chori Chori' is a very blatant rip off of 'It Happened One Night'. Exact same story line, same conflict, same twists, etc. etc.

Although the movies are not exactly the same, they're not even the same year & there's predominently a different culture, they still run in the same vein. Coupled together, they share enough of a similar theme to go hand in hand. Definitely good flicks to watch. What are some others that cross cultures, but belong together on common ground?
In these two, you have people up and leaving in search of something, hippie setting, drug undertones, great music, some fun, mayhem and tragedy.

Psych Out 1968

Hare Rama Hare Krishna 1971

Personally I like my rock and roll to be politics free, still the Dead Kennedy's were pretty good weren't they.
My favorite rock and roll songs are about rocking and rolling, with the only political sentiment being - The man says we can't rock but we are going to rock anyway (and twice as loud).

Hehe, it's been a long time since someone has gotten on this thread, but I think it's a great subject...

I personally am okay (not great) with politics in music. Dyaln, Young, Buffalo Springfield, The MC5, hell even Edwin Starr; seem to me, to be in dialogue with their audience. Making comments on the world around them. Not assuming that the public is unaware. I like this... and if it is good music, then right on.

Though after the 60's and early 70's, I feel that bands became a little more preachy with their messages. Ian Mackaye can suck it, every bit as much as Bono in my opinion. They seem to show contempt for their fans, by enlightening them to things that they could find out for themselves by opening a newspaper. Though it is not just these two culprits, it's as if naive political stances have seeped into most forms of music. Even our beloved ass shackin' Rock 'n' Roll has had its share of pretentious assholes. Please see, The (International) Noise Conspiracy. It is easy to point the finger at post-punk and post-hardcore, but keep your mittens off of the peoples music.

Sorry, I started to drift. My thoughts are simple, politics and music go together, in concept. In Rock and Roll, the energy and ethos should speak louder than anything else, because it is talkin' about life. Life involves politics, though we should never assume that we know more than the guy sitting next to us, and even if we do, that guy probably knows something we don't. My stance is as long as the music feels good, and I don't have some kid preaching at me, I'm with it. The rest of it is just crap.
