Catch more from MatPat and the Film Theorists on YouTube
And here’s a link to the drunk simulator website MatPat mentions in the video.
Granted, given the world of Westeros and the people he puts up with I could see why he drinks so much. Oh, and if you thought this was about another subject…come back tonight. We’ll get to those other short people then.
And so we come to the end of part 3 of this book. With next week’s part 4 being two really short chapters and an epilogue this is the penultimate edition of the Star Trek: Prime Directive review. Last time we got the gang back together and on the ship to go track down the party responsible for this whole mess. That puts a lot of pressure on this chapter to get everything wrapped up so our heroes can sort their own problem. How well does it do? Let’s go find out.
Instead of Teen Titans Go! they should have made a show with this.
Tiny Titans #1
DC Comics (April, 2008; as posted to comiXology)
WRITERS: Art Baltazar & Franco
ARTIST: Art Baltazar
LETTERER: Nick Napolitano
Man Of The Atom, writing for Postcards From The Edge Of Reason has done a multiple part history of early comic books. I’ve currently only read the first part, where he talks about the actual origins of the comic book medium, the influence of pulp novels, and how the Phantom actually beat Superman to comic books.
At least there wouldn’t be forced in nudity.
Agh, I though I fixed the comic numbering. I came up with something more timely last week while this one was already started, switched them, and I could have sworn I changed the numbers. Nuts. Well, I still get to take a shot at Amazon Prime and the “de-age your characters” trend started by the original Muppet Babies. The first gag came up in my head but I needed something to complete a full script.
Over at The Clutter Reports this week I continued my work with the dresser drawers.
In a couple of weeks I should have a book review over there as the Chapter By Chapter review of Star Trek: Prime Directive is almost done. I’ll also be doing my last DC Comics (not counting the Super Powers Collection in the Free Comic Inside rotation) this week as I’ll be exhausting physical and digital comics from the main and splinter DC Universe. I’ll introduce the replacement series next week.
Also coming are more Superman intros, hopefully a Finally Watched if I can fit it in, and other sources of discussion and interest. Have a good week, everyone!
Continuing to go through the YouTube backlog and this one came up (at least in my being behind) during the Christmas season, so Saturday Night Christmas Showcase was already going when I came upon this series, which started airing on Tsuburaya’s official YouTube channel months ago. As of this writing they’re up to episode #23 so I’m behind on this one.
Someone must have been a fan of Ultraman Tiga because despite setting this series elsewhere in the Ultra Multiverse (I don’t know if anyone has actually mapped out the numerous universes or who is even in the main one if there is one) tonight’s entry was heavily inspired by that show right down to the name: Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga. They even have someone from that universe showing up in this one and the last episode I got to watch features Trigger and Tiga in a crossover fight. The show carries a few traditions from the original: ancient civilizations, Ultramen in stone (only this time they’re actually evil giants), and descendants carrying on the ancient civilization’s battle against monsters.
Finding himself in another dimension, GUTS member Mitsukuni Shizuma finds love and success. Creating GUTS-Select in this dimension he forms a line of defense in case the Giants Of Darkness ever awaken. When they do (because we wouldn’t have a show otherwise despite all of the other threats) he comes across Kengo Manaka, a man living on the Mars colony whose only goal in life is to make everyone smile. Originally he tried to do this with flowers but fate will force him to do so as Ultraman Trigger! Enjoy the first episode, and be sure to turn on the captions for subtitles in your language. Tsuburaya is getting really good at subtitling their videos for numerous countries. Toei could learn a few lessons in how to run a YouTube channel with international appeal.
