He groped a woman on stage at a con on video no less

I'm sure if he's done it once he's done it multiple times

Harlan Ellison also thought that the way the movie version of A Boy And His Dog changed the ending ruined it

So he was bad in two ways

The exact same, but it was presented as sad instead of funny

to be honest I kind of see his point regarding the ending of A Boy and his Dog

his beef was very specifically that they changed the last line from something kind of poignant that ties back to the title, into Blood making a quip about how Quilla didn't taste good

Making that a funny moment is an immense improvement, it basically makes the whole movie

If you can hop over to Belgium, they have an awesome comics museum in Brussels.

The main thing in London I'm aware of is the Forbidden Planet megastore near Covent Garden. I've been living in London the past few months (horrible city) and I've visited it a couple of times. No doubt London goons would know more.

There's an Asterix theme park just outside Paris that 8 year old me never got to go to.

Gosh Comics and Orbital comics which are also in central London are definitely worth checking out.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Happy birthday friend, however that is illegal and I'm afraid I must report you to the Comics Book Police. Please try to enjoy your special day in jail!!

Huh.

quote:

A sequel to the film, entitled Home Brew, was planned for production in 1999 when financing fell through at the last minute. Co-written by Dave Thomas and Paul Flaherty, Flaherty was also going to direct, and Dan Aykroyd was on board to play the part of friend Rick Ripple. Principal photography was to begin on July 19, 1999 in Toronto. At one point, Todd McFarlane was to step in as executive producer to revive financing for the film, but never followed through.

The plot, according to a Maple Palm release, would feature Bob and Doug, now working as garbage men, being convinced by a fast talking insurance salesman (Aykroyd) to get into the microbrewing business.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Picked up my hero Academia Vigilantes today. I actually read the main series when it first came out. Like when the first issue was new. But I stopped reading for a long time. It's funny how big it exploded and how I could have been there for that but I chose not to. I still haven't caught up. I thought the spin-off series might be fun.

I haven't read it yet. But I did just see the back cover and I worry now. That picture on the back is not a good sign.
