I Go Ditko

outofthisworld07-ditkoLook at this poor guy. He's made of wood, crystal, metal and... newspaper? It's called genius, my friends. Blake Bell's Steve Ditko site is archiving every cover the great man ever drew.

God's Guide To The Hot Parts

Why go to a movie without first consulting the ChildCare Action Project (CAP): Christian Analysis of American Culture Ministry? It obsessively lists a film's sins--a.k.a. the good parts--and divides them into six hilarious categories:

Wanton Violence/Crime;
Impunity/Hate;
Sex/Homosexuality;
Drugs/Alcohol;
Offense to God;
Murder/Suicide.
In other words, SHAZAM.

Here's how The Incredibles did in three of the categories:
Sexual Immorality (S)
  • smacking on the bottom, twice
  • rude gaze at posterior
  • dressing to maximize the [cartoon] female form and/or skin exposure
    Drugs/Alcohol (D)
  • champagne to celebrate evil deeds
    Offense to God (O)
  • four uses of God's name in vain but without the four letter expletive
  • transofrmation [sic] to a demon/devil using a baby
  • For steamier reading, click over to Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason. And don't miss the 900-film archive, particularly their classic review of the South Park movie. But don't look for everything:
    Following are films we will NOT analyze due to content, rating or other reasons:
    Meet the [Husband's family name from Meet the Parents] (PG-13). The implied vulgarity of the title is enough to eject this film from our project.
    Unfortunately, as much as they make us laugh and think of nasty things, these clowns are not entirely harmless.

    Welcome Millarworld & Comicon Readers

    captainmarvel10 copyNot much comics content on the front page today, so here's a picture of our old pal Captain Marvel, who could send his body parts flying in separate directions when he said the word SPLIT. The preferred Captain Marvel of absolutely no one, he was created in the '60s by Carlos Burgos, the man who gave us the Human Torch.

    But you knew that.

    SCRAMBI


    The papers say the Yankees are trying to dump Giambi's sorry testosterone-sweetened buttocks. A walk-off grand slam he hit against the Twins on May 17, 2002, was considered, at the time, his baptism as a Yankee. Now we'll remember it as the only thing he ever did. His list of triumphs at BaseballLibrary.com hits a brick wall when he moves to New York. The grand slam, the 2002 Home Run Derby win (like that matters at all), a homer against the Angels in the doomed 2002 ALCS, and nothing. Mediocrity is one thing; mediocrity on steroids is freaky!
