Don't Fear The Reaper: Character Death Meme

Belated Oscar thoughts: pretty much as expected, except for The Social Network winning best music. Because maybe I'm biased, but to me the only really brilliant use of music in the film was the Baby, You're A Rich Man sequence at the end, and, err, that song was written and recorded in 1967 by you know who (or you should, reading my journal *g*).

I think unless you're going for satire it's next to impossible to portray a positive afterlife in a visual medium without it feeling hokey

The Fantastic Four visiting comic book heaven was pretty cute, although that was mainly due to the combined aww factor of making Jack Kirby Marvel-verse God and Mike Wieringo's adorable art. And the fact that the storyline didn't take itself too seriously. Hey, if you're going to blatantly retcon a development, then having artist God remove it with a pencil eraser is a far more entertaining way than most.

Artist God with a pencil eraser sounds like something worth checking out. :)
