Yes, I like this movie.
Someone posted this link to an article by Vice.com‘s Dave Shilling about how vicious we are when we come to opinions in the geek community. I was just going to make a Morning Article Link out of it for tomorrow and get on to other things. Then while I was putting the dishes away I thought about it and I think I do have something I want to say about this issue because it really isn’t just movies. This is becoming a big, and frustrating issue right now.
Go all the way back to the first article I ever posted to this site. I acknowledged that a show I hate (although at the time I didn’t think to go into why I hated it…first post and all) had some good qualities. I still hate it. HBO’s Spawn cartoon was vulgar, violent, bloody, and totally misrepresented how the whole Heaven versus Hell thing works (said the Christian who believes in both God and Satan). However, it was well written, well performed (Keith David adds major points to anything he’s in, really), and the animation wasn’t bad. It was all of that other stuff that annoyed me. You’re welcome to like it but I don’t. That used to be okay. For some reason that has changed. Put down a popular anime, Joss Whedon, or go the other way and say something positive about Twilight or some other “unapproved” franchise and watch the insults, and sometimes death and rape threats race across your monitor.
What the hell, guys?

One of Chris Sims many features at Comics Alliance is “Bizarro Back Issues”, where he looks at some of the weirdest issues from the Silver Age. And if you know the Silver Age that’s a long list. Now what does this one feature?
Now that the mystery has been solved and we are all aware that that Superman and Batman have been teleported through time and space by a mind-controlling future-Bizarro and his dog…
This is the article you’re supposed to be reading right now.

At no point is Optimus “out of control” in this comic.
I used the cover from GCD because I don’t know what happened to my copy. This is one I picked up in back issue.

I just can’t seem to think of anything to write about today, so how about a fake intro? We’ve seen Doctor Who in animated form before, both officially and fan productions. This is the first one I’ve seen with the upcoming Peter Capaldi Doctor and Clara. The art style reminds me of what I’ve seen of Gravity Falls, although I’ve never seen an episode, and it’s a rather cute take on our favorite Time Lord.
