CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT PATTY JENKINS COMMENTING ON GAIL SIMONE’S TWITTER THREAD!?!?!?

abbie-a-aaronson:

That time when Scandal and Liana set up a date for Bane, a criminal and a
murderer, the first date he’s ever been on in his entire life, with a
sex-worker no less, and he showed he respected women and understood what
it means to be a gentleman better than most living men (and those who
are comic book fans in particular).

IM CRYING

stitchedtogetherfix:

Good morning, here’s what Twitter dealt with last night via Gail Simone and now we are slightly traumatized.

the-comic-universe:

So, last month, a dream I’ve had for a long time, that I never thought would happen, actually happened.

The wonderful RIFFTRAX crew asked me if I’d like to participate in writing some jokes for one of their hysterically funny riffs on a terrible film, and I of course said HOLY CRAP YES I WOULD.

Now the thing is, I am sure this doesn’t seem like a huge deal, it’s just writing some jokes out of the thousands they somehow come up with every year. But to me, it really is a big deal, one of the funnest things to happen in my career.

For a couple decades now, when I’ve been sick, or down, or under too much pressure, the antidote was always Mystery Science Theater 3000 or RiffTrax. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve had the flu or something and all that made me cheer up was Bill, Kevin and Mike (and the rest of the various casts!) doing their hilarious thing. Sometimes sitting in a dark room watching them riff MANOS made everything a LOT better.

Even more fun was watching with family. We’re all fans, and routinely watch our favorite episodes over and over.

Even MORE MORE fun are the Rifftrax Live theater simulcast performances, where a whole bunch of nerds get together to laugh at the guys making fun of everything. I’ve loved all the spin-offs and new versions, like the new MST3k and Cinematic Titanic, but I have so much fondness for the original show and Rifftrax, especially.

It’s one of the few things out there that’s just designed to make you feel happy and laugh out loud that actually WORKS on me, as I’m not big on sitcoms or a lot of the other stuff people crank out.

Rifftrax has always been that great mix of brilliant and stupid that works on me every time. I have met a LOT of movie stars but I was far more choked up meeting Bill, Mike and Kevin than any of those.

Everyone has something they just love and cherish. Rifftrax is one of those things for me. And they asked me to write some jokes and I did and they made it in and YAY!

Thank you so much, guys! The episode is up, it’s a genuinely TERRIBLE movie, called KARATE COP, and I got to cosplay being a rifftraxer for a bit and I loved it. I hope you check it out at rifftrax.com!

PS. I wrote four times more jokes than they requested. Couldn’t help it!

PPS. A LOT of them were about headbands!

rifftrax.com, now with terrible Gail jokes! Go get it and laugh!

What a surreal cover. Babies don’t have skeletons.



I just got blocked by Mark Millar on Twitter. “How is that possible?” those of you new to this blog are asking. I know, right?! Sure, sure. I have a history of being a dick when I’m reading something written by a supposed professional who decided they would waste everybody’s time by not putting any effort into a product that they knew people were going to be paid for. The audience has a right to be angry at the lack of effort put into something the audience loves, right?! But even then, I still have never directly interacted with any of the creators to tell them how I feel. That might be the one rule I have! I don’t mind theoretically discussing how many genie wishes I’d use to on making sure any writing instrument Scott Lobdell touches turns into searing hot melted sugar or what kind of abuses I’d do to the timeline if I had a time machine simply so Ann Nocenti wouldn’t exist in the 21st century. But I’d never @ them on Twitter because I don’t want to hurt their feelings (unlike Cullen Bunn’s apparent dick friend who used to tweet him all of my Cullen Bunn reviews. Cullen blocked me for that when he should have considered punching his friend in the groin instead)! I once Googled Howard Mackie to see how old he was because his writing was so amateurish only to have Google present to me a picture of an old man which meant I now had to feel awful every time I harshly and vulgarly criticized him! You might be thinking, “You know, Grunion. You could have not criticized the old man, you know?” But then you’d just expose yourself as somebody who has never had to suffer through his terrible writing and punctuation!

You’re hilarious. Your posts were a highlight of Tumblr for me.
