Cillian Murphy (he, the hero of 28 Days Later) is the newest addition to the cast of the upcoming Batman flick starring Christian Bale. Cillian will be playing a villain. What villain is anyone's guess. I think I get more excited about this movie with each new piece of information I come across.

Jerry Seinfeld is looking to return to the world of entertainment by teaming with Dreamworks to produce and star in an animated feature called Bee World. Anything from Seinfeld is cause for celebration as far as I'm concerned.

Finally!
Andrew W.K. is getting his own television series.

I drew Green Lantern as he appears in his comic these days.

Mario's Campaign HQ.

This is a special message to Corey: I hope you've been taking note of the fact that I've actively been trying to put more of my drawings up here on a regular basis as you suggested I should do. At least I think that was what you suggested.. you might have meant something else.

Both these and these look pretty cool if you ask me.

An interview with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.

For the Nada Surf fans, the band is planning on recording their fourth album in January and plan on releasing a live DVD in February.

I like Clive Barker as a writer, but sometimes I fear for his sanity.

While the idea of an animated Red Tornado excites me, I don't know that I like the sound of this.
Didn't these people see what happened to the sales of the Justice League comics when they started filling them with second-stringers?

The sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, though very highly anticipated by the general theater-going public is quite a while away, as it's not even slated to start filming until January 2005.

Here's a picture I did of a little Aquaboy...

This and this are incredible deals at twice the price!
Go buy these now! This is seriously a great thing to which I am hipping you... so take advantage of it for a change!

Good news for Nintendo.

Hulk Hogan's daughter fancies herself the next Britney Spears.

There's a rumor floating about Hollywood, that Katie Holmes may play Talia (daughter of Ra's al Ghul) in the new Batman flick starring Christian Bale.

Did anyone else notice that Hip Today just leapt over the 20,000 hit mark?!
TWENTY THOUSAND!!
What the hell?!
That's amazing!
I appreciate each and every one of you that keep coming back to see what I have to say.
I also especially appreciate those of you that tell someone else.
I'll continue to do my thing, and I hope to see all of you here for all of it.

The trailer for Wonderful Days.
I can honestly say I have no idea what this movie is about, but parts of this trailer are quite pretty to look at at times.
Also, I have no idea how a trailer with this much gun and knife play can end with the title super-imposed over a field of daisies.

This is what the internet was designed for.. to allow you to check out the endings to literally hundreds of classic (and not so classic) Nintendo Entertainment System games.

Picture of the Day.. another from the Alex Ross is a miserable bastard collection.
Why must he be so good?!

Here's a follow-up on that Flash picture I posted a few days ago..

Seanbaby reveals the secrets to becoming a SUPERHERO!
Wait.. on second thought, none of you should go read this.. umm.. cause, I just remembered, Seanbaby said I was the only one who should read it.. and cause it's rigged to blow your eyeballs up if you read it without knowing the special code he gave me... so that only I could read it.
So yeah.. if you want to keep your eyeballs not blown up you'd probably better not read it.
In a completely unrelated matter, if anyone knows how to sew spandex or make majestic, yet comfortable capes, I would appreciate it if you would get in touch with me.

Mick Foley may soon be starring in his very own action detective series on the Columbian Broadcasting Service.. or CBS as some call it. It couldn't be any worse than most of the other crap they show.. and hey, it might even be good.

I'd be lying if I said reading this article about Bill Watterson didn't make me sad. The man created the greatest comic strip ever in my opinion, and now he refuses to do anything but be a recluse.

People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world. - Calvin

This is some serious Super Mario Bros. 3 amazosity.

I draw the Flash a lot I guess..

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, and for those of you (like myself) who had to work in retail, I hope it wasn't too bad for you either.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Penny Arcade guys are doing something for a very good cause.
It's most definitely worth checking out.
So go do so.
(That may be the funniest looking sentence I've ever written.)
Seriously though, go check it out. Help some sick kids.

Alex Ross. Neal Adams. Politics.

For those of you who haven't heard already, Michael Caine will probably be playing Alfred in the new Christian Bale starring Batman flick.
There are also rumors of Daniel Day Lewis playing Ra's Al Ghul.

For those of you who care, Nickelodeon is showing The Fairly OddParents all day today.

I found out the Wal-Mart within walking distance of me is the #1 Wal-Mart in the world. That's weird.

October 31, 2004 will see the PS2 release of Nightmare Before Christmas simultaneously in North America, Japan, and Europe.
Feel free to go check out these screenshots, as they are what your friends might call sweet.

The Critic is finally coming to DVD.

How wicked is this?
"Very" is the word for which you were looking.
I'm such a product of the 80s.

Wow.... Bryan Hitch is a bastard.

For those of you that missed Underworld when it was in theaters.

The Anime Network will finally be coming to SOME people's cable provider.

That's some good comedy.

Picture of the Day... Allison Mack from Smallville.
I'm sorry, but I think she's really pretty... and she keeps showing up at all the comic conventions.

I'm begging (BEGGING!) someone to get me this for Christmas!
I'll even let you sit in it!

For everyone that owns or is considering an iPod.
Many thanks to Cara for sharing.

Stop whatever you're doing right now, and go watch the trailer for Hellboy!

For those of you that want the new Zelda Collection for the Gamecube, but don't want to buy a new Cube, this is a pretty fair deal.

Good news for Looney Tunes fans!

Robert Rodriguez recently announced that he'll be composing the score for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 2.

Which Batman Villain Are You?

This news about Family Guy pleases me. Yes, I find it very favorable.

Other news I found favorable? There'll be a Daredevil Director's Cut available in April. This seems a bit odd, since the version that's already out is 2 discs, but .. whatever.

You know what wouldn't have been a "bummer"?
If you'd made a good album.

Operation Iron Hammer..... why does that name sound so familiar?

If you've got $400 laying around and you're a big Kevin Smith fan... maybe you should buy this.

Someone's looking to do away with pop-up ads... fine by me.

Sling Blade 2.


You are BUGS BUNNY.
You are fun. You have probably been out on the town your share of times, yet you come home with the values that your Mother taught you. Friends and family are important to you, but only after you have fun. Don't let the people you please influence you to stray.

I think we can all agree that opening sequence with Nightcrawler from X-Men 2 was one of the best scenes in any comic movie.
It's amazing to see how these things are made.

Speaking of comic movies, here's news on the new Batman, Fantastic Four, The Power of Shazam, and more.

That box? It's... uh... it's porn. Yeah. I'm throwing out a bunch of old pornography.

Kill Billy Elliot.


You are Jesse Custer.
Jesse is as tough as they come and always willing to prove it. He'll kick your ass for being a jackass. Or back you up if you prove that you're a man. An actual good guy, Jesse's word and honor is without reproach.

TIME Magazine has put together a rather well done list of the Top 10 Video Games of 2003.
Good for them. Far better job than some of the others I've seen as of late.

Mississippi makes the news... for cocaine... in an elementary school.

I haven't seen it, nor do I care to, but I thought it was funny that ESPN was suggesting tips for how to watch the Paris Hilton sex video at work.

I'd ask what this guy has going for him, but I have seen that video.

Pee Wee's Big Trouble in Little China.


Aye, you are "Human hair. From my back."
Sometimes you don't make any sense at all, but
largely others find that charming. You are not
very sure of yourself, so it's tough for people
to take you seriously.

Steve Martin has signed on to play Inspector Clouseau in the new remake of The Pink Panther.
I'm hoping for the best.

King of the Gods... I'm not sure what to make of this... so I'll make nothing of it until I know more.

His comics are kinda lousy these days, but Todd McFarlane sure knows how to make some swell looking toys.

I'm not saying someone should get me this, but... no, wait, yes, I am.

You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl (Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum (Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life, the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.
