There’s a blog for the Watchmen Movie; so far they’ve posted some impressive production shots (click the images to see them full-size) and casting details, which are better viewed on IMDB, with faces and past credits (I actually plugged in a couple of names manually before realizing I should just look up the movie). Those [...]
Boojie has complained, justifiably, that the more current images I’ve started to use as my user pic in livejournal (instead of the old one) are a bit scary.
Sadly, I think the problem stems more from my haggard old face of recent years than from my poor arm-distance photography.

The Israeli Animation, Comics and Caricature festival starts today. It runs Saturday to Tuesday, 25th-28th of August. My brother and his wife's short animated film, JRA is showing as part of the אסיף 2007 segment.

New York Daily News Exclusive: Captain America killed! [via John Wick]
Of course, Brubaker started his run on Captain America by having the Red Skull shot, and then did what no writer before him did and brought back Bucky from the dead. So he's just stirring up the crowds on both sides of the revolving door [...]
Iron Man: Extremis by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov (Bosnian, not Israeli) is very successful at what it sets out to do, which isn't so much update the concept of Iron Man for the 21st century as it is to pitch the character to Hollywood. In other words, it's a simple story with cool photorealistic-style [...]
A long while back, Nimrod sent me a link to some stand-up routine with the premise “I was the Superfriends’ filipino maid”. The butt of the jokes was the man in the orange shirt. Apparently, he wasn’t amused:
Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas, Has Fucking Had It With You, Man. (at McSweeney’s Internet Tendency - [...]

I’ve moved a lot of my linkage to here and here, which means I don’t post a lot of the old tidbits and tails to my blog. But some images demand to be shared.
In other completely unrelated news, I [...]
Jonathan Woodward: Being The Good Guys is probably the most fun American political blog post in a while, tying in the hot ethical issue of the day into a media most suitable for conducting the relevant thought experiments: Superhero comics.
