axm 19, loveless 14, bsg 4, bsg zarek #1

big comics day for me.
Astonishing gets all spacey and Mr Whedon and Mr Cassidy deliver again. not as fun as the past couple of issues but still the best book of the week.

Loveless 14 More vengence. great colors. dont know where this comic can go though.

battlestar galactica # 4 interesting story. like where the cylon thinks baltar is a cylon, which he may or may not be.

bsg zarek, a miniseries on richard hatch's characther from the new show. pretty good backstory.

new lucky creature site is up!

so as you can tell we like arrows this year. you may have to use refresh to get everything showing up, but the new site is up, we think its pretty simple and straightfoward still but now with arrows!
we promise to have some news very soon on what new thing will be rolling out of the creature house in 2007.

frontline.

civil war frontline #9 this is good but is anyone else ready for civil war to end? the main story is awesome but im growing tired of all the shadow subplots.

in other news. im old and tired. three more days of retail hell and then a day off.

inital holiday game impressions

we had our christmas today and i racked up on the wii games.
initial quick impressions

marvel ultimate alliance. a comic geeks dream. my team right now. capt america, moon knight, spiderman, and maybe iron man.

tony hawk downhill jam. feels rushed, tracks are pretty quick and then your done. no sense of urgency. will probably beat pretty quickly.

rayman raving rabbids. the best game for me and jess to play together. its got alot of charm, and will probably keep us sharing the controller more than anything else.

also got jess trauma center for the wii and elite beat agents for the ds.
trauma center oozes style, looks pretty good and elite beat agents looks like its going be jess's favorite in a while.

Pretty great wii-load and then theres all the other stuff we gave each other. so much fun. how will i get anything done?

p of happy

just saw pursuit of happyness. great family movie and holiday film. will smith is pretty darn good. he runs alot.
got the christmas lights on. and just taking it easy. hope everyone is well.

.. i am ready..
could we get any more tired?
i sure could use a coke.
or a piece of pecan pie.
let's settle east of the long river.
where hair falls below shoulders,
and science and faith are absent.
it's not snow anymore.
too fuzzy, too burnt.
oxygen.

mmm..

so i've been unable to get online much this week so not too much posting here. Also I've been too enthralled in Zelda Twilight Princess to really care to. Im on the final dungeon. A little over 40 hours in and it looks like i will beat the game today. A lot of other things i could still do, like the endurance dungeon and explore the world but for some reason, all i want to do is fight fight fight. It is definetly worth the price of the console by itself, but it isn't my game of the year. that honor goes to New Super Mario Brothers for the DS. it's more accesible, and just more fun.

Got the new Owen cd. some of the songs i swear i've heard before but if your a fan of any of the kinsella brothers you know your going to want this cd.

Also watched the Devil and Daniel Johnston. That's pretty crazy stuff.

Hope everyone has got there shopping done. :>

acme novelty library # 17, apocalypto reviews.

Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library continues to look good. He has redefined the graphic format and no one can argue that his look is defined and he is one of if not the best artists working in the field today. His storytelling is also precise but at 17 dollars a pop, I can't help but feel cheated by this book and this artist. Why are we dwelling in the mundane in this book? Why does it take a whole graphic novel to say that the life of our main figures sucks? Especially when you've pretty much said all this before in your last 16 issues. Where Adrian Tomine's Optic Nerve doesn't have the visual flair of Ware's work (no color actually works in his favor) his characters actually do something. And they represent full pieces. I get the feeling Ware has created these caricatures( the girl who may be pregnant, the dorky kid, himself as a pot smoking art teacher) but hasn't taken the time to understand why they exist in the greater story. This probably won't matter since at about a issue a year Ware will be dead before we find out if Chalky even gets pass one year at school. And then theres the second set of stories about bees. Doing absolutely nothing. Again. But they sure look pretty. Chris Ware may be the greatest living cartoonist working. Wish he would prove it. C

Funny, just saw Mel Gibson's Apocolypto and it's left me very strangely. The first hour and a half, is well some of the most unique filmmaking of the year and then it just ends so wrongly. Rudy Youngblood is sure to be a star after this. The chase scenes are some of the best in cinema history, and the exotic nature of the temple settings hasn't been seen in such massive quantity since the late eighties. Gibson knows how to do his violence and the movie looks very good. I just wish they didn't feel the need to compromise with that ending. It is an amazing feat to have any subtilted film playing at the mall movieplexes of the world these days and to bring one of this quality to the big screen should be commended. Overall it's a fun ride, better than most of the action drivel of this last summer, but not perfect. Enjoyable Bplus.

hmm. many things happening in lucky creature land especially the music end. stay tuned.

still sweet.

so. its been over a week. still feels good. stupid wolfpack.Pirates in bowl versus south florida. Go East Carolina!

sick.

trying to get over this cold. just wanted to remind everyone that subscriptions for lucky creature will be ending on christmas day. so get your orders in if you havent already done so. also, a new wintry look to the website will launch shortly after the holiday, so keep your eyes peeled.
