The worstest?
Honestly, this must be the worst blog on Albert Arnold Gore Junior's Information Super Highway. Well, maybe not the worst, but come on, I last wrote in January. Sure, MattyP's Top 25 Lists hasn't been updated since 2006, but this site is almost as bad, and arguably contains much weaker content.
It's November, so that means it's Movember. Last year I had a pretty sick 3 sider going. I did look awesome/homeless/Kentuckian, but this year I've had to give things a pass as my girlfriend likes the goatee and I would be a bad man to shave it off. My friend Kyle is doing some fundraising and you can donate here http://ca.movember.com/mospace/2004950/
Watched a great movie yesterday, Barney's Version. That Paul Giamatti guy is just fantastic. I really seem to like him in everything and Barney's Version was no exception. And Dustin Hoffman! The Hoff!! Well, the real Hoff (not that Hassellhoff fool, although damn he's good for a laugh). Does Dustin Hoffman make bad movies? (don't answer that, I'm sure there's a few, but there are so many good ones). Anyway, loved the flick.
Been watching some awesome new TV. Homeland on Showtime is currently my favourite of the new crop. Awesome plot idea, fantastic acting from Claire Danes, cliffhangers galore. It's a must watch. Closely catching up though is the new Kelsey Grammer political drama "Boss". Grammer plays the mayor of Chicago whose just been diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disorder he's decided to keep private. They're only 3 episodes in so jump on now. Oh, and there's Kathleen Robertson who played Clare back in the day on 90210. Time has treated her well.
I've also been reading some good Comic Books lately. I'm one trade paperback away from finishing Grant Morrison's entire run on New X-Men. It's been interesting. I'm a big Morrison fan, and who doesn't like the X-Men?, so I was expecting a lot. The dialogue at times felt quite odd. I didn't think Grant was always capturing the voice of each character. It's the X-Men, and everyone has pretty distinct ideas of how these guys should be talking and what they would be saying, and some of the stuff just didn't seem right. Especially Wolverine at the start, although this did get better as the run progressed. For the most part I have really enjoyed the storylines, although I found the whole Weapon Plus thing a little rushed and slightly hard to follow. This was echoed in and compounded by the art which I was not a big fan of for that arc. There were a few times where I was wondering what the heck was going on. While I'm on about the art I should touch on the fact that I was really disappointed that Frank Quitely didn't handle the art for the entire run. For some reason I was under this impression. His stuff is the best in the books.
Anyway, I feel content that I've written something here, so I'm done. Make sure you check out the link above for the MattyP lists. And feel free to comment. He loves comments. Until next time, this is Graham Brown saying "donde esta el pollo?"
