I kinda thought I'd never say this, but I'm starting to feel somewhat fangirly about Wil Wheaton. So I hated Wesley Crusher; who cares when the whiny boy has grown up to a man with a seriously good taste! In his Suicide Girls column he presents (well!) some great graphic novels you may have missed including such favourites of mine as Alan Moore's ( Read more... )

Let me see the mark death made
I dream a highway back to you.

[In August 2005] yours truly ordered some music from Amazon. True, nothing new in that. But get this, one of the CDs was country/bluegrass. Guess how many country CDs my collection used to contain? That’s right, ( Read more... )

Corpse Bride (2005) has many features I liked such as the music, the voice actors, gothic visuals and Victorian backbone. Yet, it left me wanting for more. The good parts just didn’t combine into something bigger and better than the sum of them.
