Episode 82 is our much anticipated Torture Cinema feature, in which we review-while-intoxicated the wonderfully terrible “romance” flick known to lesser beings as Twilight (we like to call it “1,000 Ways to Destroy Female Self-Esteem”). We hope you enjoy the episode! Note:  If you have iTunes and like this show, please give us a review on our iTunes page, or feel free to email us with your thoughts about the show!

China Mieville to Write Comic for DC Comics!

/

Word comes from the grand bats themselves (i.e., DC Comics) that China Mieville, author of Perdido Street Station, Embassytown, and the upcoming Railsea, will pen a comic book to be released as part of DC’s “New 52″/”Second Wave” comic “line.”  What will Mieville be doing?  This: DIAL H – Writer: China Miéville. Artist: Mateus Santoluoco. The first ongoing series from acclaimed novelist China Miéville, this is a bold new take on a cult classic concept about the psychological effects on an everyman who accidentally gains powers to become a hero. The concept may not sound original, but if we know anything about Mieville, it’s his gift for finding the unique, unusual, and weird in practically every “cliche” he takes on.  Dial H is likely to be one of the most interesting visual creations to come this year. Who else is looking forward to Dial H? ——————————————- Update:  Mieville did an interview with USA Today here (which might be of interest to everyone).  It includes some juicy bits about the comic above.

Have we mentioned how much we hate you all? No? Oh, well, we hate you so much that we’re willing to watch the movie the vast majority of you picked for us.  And that movie, polling at 65% of the votes, is the following: To be fair, I’m looking forward to the pain Jen will have to endure while watching this movie than I am the movie itself.  You all know it will be priceless listening to her squirm… So thanks, everyone.  We appreciate your vigor in making sure we have to watch the cream of the crop.

That’s right, it’s Jen’s birthday!  She’s already got her presents from me (sorta), but we should all come out of the woodworks and say a very happy birthday to her, don’t you think? So here goes: Happy Birthday, Jen!   Congratulations on your 13th year of being 21!
