I’m too tired to come up with an interesting title this week. We saw Tom Petty last night and after standing on concrete for two hours (and stayig up late) I’m wiped out. I don’t want to move off the couch. so let’s begin…
In comics, beyond the pile I always have (which my local comic book guy said was a sign of my problem), Secret Invasion 4 came out this week and the cross over keeps getting better and better. Usually with a Marvel summer cross over I can figure that things will be the same at the end but with this one, I’m not sure. It’s really quite good. Some other thoughts on comics this week include:
- The Invincible Super Blog highlights some interesting comics.
- LOTRKing reviews Hellboy II. If it’s as good as some of the Hellboy universe books have been lately, it should rock.
- One book I’m looking forward to reading is Captain America White.
In movies, the AVClub has finally recognized the greatest achievement in film history… Roadhouse.
- They also discuss The Wackness.
In music, Electricity & Lust has released a list of their favorite albums since the year of their birth. I might have to try that. Check it out here. I agree with a good number of the choices.
- Plain or Pan? has some incredible Rolling Stones recordings on his blog…
In books, the Times highlighted The Size of the World, by Joan Silber. It looks worth picking up, but I’m a sucker for short fiction.
In television, I’ve TiVo’d the first installment of HBO’s Generation Kill, I’m lookign forward to it.
That’s it for now. I’ll write more once I recover.
It's a Mad House, a Mad House!!
