the bet


click me for a better view!


Another day in the life of Asteroid M. Which by the way, if you're in the Portland metro area, we have a house party coming up on the 13th of june (Disney Theme Party!) and a show at the Satyricon on the 17th of June. Come check it out! Let me know if you'd like more info.

Saw the new Sam Rami movie, Drag Me To Hell yesterday. Just go see it. Unless you hate things that are awesome, go see it. This is probably the first time I've felt scared during a movie, well, ever. But it's also funny. It's just an all around great film, from the amazing score to the special effects and acting. I'm glad somebody finally gave Rami a budget for a horror movie.

Also, I just got a chance to read Alan Moores run on Swamp Thing (I know, what kind of a nerd am I?) let me tell you, out of all the things great about this book, I was most impressed with the amazing use of paneling. Some of the most creative and fluid boxes I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. All presented in a prestige hard cover format on beautiful non gloss paper. On a side note, when I was but a wee lad, first collecting comics in the 90's (the not-so-glory days) I remember being disappointed when I'd buy a funny book and the interiors were on newsprint. I recently bought the best of Jack Kirby hard cover, and I was disappointed they had gone with glossy. Guess it goes to show how tastes will change.

Anyways, comments work now, SO PLEASE, LEAVE ME A COMMENT! It makes me feel special. Also do notice the post to Facebook, Digg and Stumble Upon buttons at the bottom of the post. Just sayin. -Jonah
