maxgrobinsonI had the singularly wonderful experience of catching the Tommy Wiseau-directed The Room play at The AFI Silver Spring theatre and….guys, it was incredible. WHERE TO START? The set itself was very simple, just some chairs and a couch and an IKEA end table identical to one in my living room. The play got started [...]

NO TIME FOR SUPER-BLOG, DOCTOR JONES!
Not today atleast. Monday? Let’s shoot for monday. In the meantime, here’s the best solicitation that Mike Sterling somehow missed in this week’s END OF CIVILIZATION post: LIONSGATE FILMS PRESENTS: LEPRECHAUN TRADE PAPERBACK by BLUEWATER PRESS “This is the tale of Lubdan, the king and sole survivor of the Leprechaun. The last of the Leprechauns!” [...]
BLEAGH CAN’T BLOG TV BLEAGH
Yeah. Obviously I didn’t end up blogging like I said I would. Mainly because my day to day’s been weird and I’ve been lazy. NO LONGER. Probably hit you guys up with a new Super-blog Thursday, today let’s take things easy. So I’ve been watching ALOT of Twilight Zone lately. It’s on Netflix Instant (all [...]
Hello. Is it me you’re looking for?
It’s been a couple of weeks! In that time, I moved to a new apartment into the vibrant hub of crime and intrigue that is Baltimore and, unfortunately, haven’t had my own internet. That should change today. But for now, let’s rap. So I wrote a column for City Paper on Free Comic Book Day. [...]

COMICS WHAT THAT I READ THIS WEEK (April 21st, 2011)
Ok, quick shots this week! The Flash #10 This was alright. Because it’s setting up Flashpoint and the current arc, there’s nothing especially fun like in the previous issues. No clue what Johns is trying to do with this Barry/ Carlie Cooper Patty Spivot romance, but its not introduced all that well. Manapul’s art is [...]

HIVE OF SCUM PRESENTS: Mark Millar & Ultimate Avengers 2: A Study In Awful.
Max: Hey, so usually Thursdays mean new comic reviews. But a host of factors kind of made that undoable this week, so instead I’ve decided I’m going to shake things up alittle. I just read Ultimate Avengers Volume 2: Crime and Punishment. It’s bad. It’s REAL bad. And we’re going to talk about just how [...]
