What can I say; I kvetched, and my fellow late-nighters stepped up and gave me a confidence boost. Well, you get more of what you reward. And you rewarded me—good and hard… I posted last week’s submission so early on, that I forgot what was even in it. I guess I shot my wad rather quickly on that one. (This is where you make me feel extra-special by reassuring me that it happens to everyone at some point or another) OK; time to jump into the brackish stock pond that is The Night Shift comments. Caution– this may get a little weird:
First, seductive weirdness. Hey, ladies….
Oh, right!! My bread-and-butter weirdness.
Artsy-fartsy weirdness. This is because of a comment I made a couple of weeks ago, and is based on an old inside joke that…you know, never mind.
Segue weirdness. Yeah, I coulda gone with just “city weirdness”, or, “Pac North West”. But, that IS a good segue.
Gee…other doktors doctors just went all in on cloning. That’s one hell of a grudge. I’ve no wish to start up the great Glibs Abortion Debate of 2019, pt.4XXXX. This, though…was pure vileness. Weirdness doesn’t do this story justice. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I mentioned Moon Knight in the post’s blurb. (Yes, I know I mentioned someone from the Tick, too—just stick with me.) I was never a comic book reader. In my youth, I was curious about the ones that various friends were reading, so I got lots of info about various characters, and was somewhat up on who did what to whom. So, I am interested in hearing from glibs who did/do read them. Which Franchise(s)? Any particular characters you love, or, hate? Any good stories from comic book stores/fellow comic readers? What about your takes on franchises made into TV shows/Movies? Nerd it up, ya….ya….weirdos!
“Why, yes, Mr. O’Rourke—I am familiar with National Lampoon. Why do you ask?” Not meant to be a pearl-clutch, here. The guy is simply a putz, and plays it to the hilt.
Sex Panther: A Primer Heheheheheh…he said “Beaver”.
Weirdness confession: I am a fan of Fortean subjects. If you don’t know who he is, you should read up on him (weirdness alert: I’m not linking, just because). While I’m no devotee to these ideas, or, anything like that, there are various subjects that get lumped into “Fortean Phenomena” that have held my interest over the years. I used to get books on UFOs and cryptids when I was a kid. I even got a pen pal in fourth (?) grade, who lived in Inverness, just so I could ask him if he’d ever seen Nessie. The little smart-ass denied it, then turned it around and asked me if I’d ever seen Bigfoot! Peasant…Didn’t he know that the correct term is “Sasquatch”? Really, I’m more interested in what people find in investigating the claims that get made in these cases. Regale us with tales of your encounters with High Strangeness No, not “strange”. Well…maybe.
A bit of 80’s nighttime rock? If you don’t like the 80’s….I can’t think of a weird enough way to finish that sentence.

It is quite the burden at this point.
I think a full fetish would mean I’d _only_ be attracted to ladies with glasses, which is not the case. They’re just a multiplier.

Oooohhh! Gotcha. Full agreement witcha, slum.
Oh my.
Oh, your glasses? Yeah, slum and I were admiring them…
A Moon Knight question! I’m impressed.
Really? Fist bump, bruh!
I read a lot of comics from middle school through college. I remember Moon Knight’s debut. The character was pretty derivative. Mash together Daredevil and Batman and you have most of the character.
I learned the writer primarily made or broke a particular comic. The X-Men were languishing before John Byrne took over the series. It shot to excellence and stayed there for years. Thor was terrible before Walt Simonson took it over. It was transformed from forgettable to can’t miss. Frank Miller is a fucking genius. Daredevil was largely unreadable. Then Miller came along. The next issue couldn’t come out fast enough. What he did with Batman in the Dark Knight series was incredible. I’ve reread it many times.
There isn’t a comic that has fared well in the movies IMO. I have enjoyed the Avengers movies and they got Captain America right. Beyond that, not so much.
I’m a Nolan-verse fan, I admit.
My best friend was pretty keen on MK, but I didn’t really know enough to ask a lot of questions–just being aware was enough.
I loved Batman Begins, The first half of The Dark Knight was great, hit and miss after Batman catches the Joker, and The Dark Knight Rises was utter trash from beginning to end. (IMO)
I saw the first Nolan film. He did a goid job as did Christian Bale. I don’t think that version ofvBatman could exist without Frank Miller’s work.
This^
Well, depends which continuity, because casting Sam Jackson as Nick Fury, when the Ultimate version of Nick Fury was based on Sam Jackson, I’d say that’s pretty spot on.
I wasn’t thinking so kuch of Nick Fury but that’s a fair point. I was thinking of most of the superheros.
Well, what they did with Tony Stark was brilliant. The character is a womanizing alcoholic, So they hired RDJ who was that in real life and said, OK, you’re Tony Stark. Any of his character departures have been acceptable to me, because he was so perfect, It gave the character a feel of a different universe Iron Man. (Never got super in to Iron Man in the comics.)
I was a big fan of the Iron Man comic. RDJ has done a good job in the role. Side note, one of my friends represented him during his darker days.
The MCU has underplayed the power of the suit relative to the comic. I wasnt thrilled with the change to his origin story but understand the need. The third movie was just bad and made Iron Man look incompetent.
Well, in the movies you always have to adjust the stakes, to make it interesting.
Meh, it was his low point to set up the rest of the arc. He had PTSD from New York and it set up his fears of greater threats that lead to Ultron and their version of Civil War. (I view Iron 3 as incomplete without the Marvel One Shot All Hail The King. I just wish we could have seen him fight the real Mandarin, who is supposedly coming up in the next round of movies.)

She’s a nominal Catholic who’s been hanging out with Anglicans for the last couple of years – i.e., “like Catholics, but more Woke and with even greater declining attendance!”.
It’s tiresome.
I’ve got a sister that is part of some new age christian church that preaches all that intersectional, racial justice crap. She’s pulled the race card on me on FB repeatedly so I had to block her.

In weirdness: I saw the Paulding Light. That’s about it.
Comic books, we never had a store around here, I would just get them at the grocery store and they only carried certain series, so if a story continued on in a different series I wouldn’t be able to get it. The one I’m collecting right now is the Night Fall, Knight Quest, Knights End story line where Bane broke Batman’s back. I’m down to missing 4 or 5 books, when I started I think I had like 6 from what I bought as a kid.
I thought you made a trek every so often these days…
I do like maybe once a month. The comic stores are all 50 miles away. I don’t ask them to order anything special for me. I just gander at what they have. So I might find like 2 or three books I need each time. And like I said I had about 6, and there like 70 books in the arc.
No internet ordering? I would figure that to be a more fruitful path.
I bought a couple online. But it’s more to give something to do than something to have I guess. I don’t want to make it easy on myself and I don’t want to pay shipping on a book that I could snag for a dollar! (The arc came out at the time when they were over printing because of the collector bubble, so too much supply met not enough demand and it crashed the industry. That’s why Marvel ended up selling the film rights to Spider-Man and such.)
I didn’t know that aspect of the cinematic universe.
Yeah, the MCU was based on film rights hadn’t or couldn’t sell off. Iron Man well known to comic book fans before the MCU, but he wasn’t as well known to the general public as the X-Men, Spider-Man or The Fantastic Four (three of the ones they did sell off to keep afloat) Namor is the oddity, for some reason (DRINK!) Universal bought the rights to him (along with the Hulk, that’s why the Hulk hasn’t gotten a solo movie again in the MCU, somehow using him with the Avengers stayed with Marvel. Before Disney bought Marvel, the Edward Norton Hulk was a co-production with Universal because they owned the film rights to Hulk solo movies.)
Eric Bana > Ed Norton.
Sorry, but that’s just a fact of reality.
Bana’s Banner looked like he was taking a shit every time he transformed, the movie was abominable and his character was bland. But whatever, Bill Bixby was the best Banner.

I remember rewinding that scene a few times…
Was talking with an American friend at the bar last night. Japan beat Samoa to get to the next round of the Rugby World Cup. “Half of Japan’s team isn’t even Japanese.” Ummm. “What is ‘Japanese’ and why does that matter? If they were soldiers and helped win a battle, would that matter?” I honestly couldn’t grock his point. He’s a self-described libertarian, so I had a really hard time figuring out where he was coming from.
Round eyes?
Basically. I was happy to see Japan using more foreign born players. Doesn’t hurt me one bit.
Man those Samoans are a surly bunch.

“Casa Blumpkin”
Just got back from seeing The Joker.
Quick impressions:
Totally breaks continuity with the other DC movies. And the comics too, since the Joker is not usually portrayed as ~30 years older than Batman.
He’s not a sympathetic character, since after about the first 5 minutes it’s made pretty clear that he’s bugfuck crazy.
Joaquin Phoenix is great but this is probably too dark to get him any awards.
If you’re looking for a “message” in the movie, it seems to be: Government should pay for mental health care, with a side order of “rich people bad”. (Although – the Joker is an unreliable narrator, so at least some of the “rich people bad” stuff (which I can’t reveal without spoilers) may not be accurate).
Orange Man bad
Well, the director hates ‘woke’, no word on Orange Man.
He’s not wrong
Eh, I think there’s one part that could be interpreted as parodying the bad orange man, but it might be a bit of a stretch.
I’m just done with DC movies at this time. No interest. They are slowly trying to ruin their TV universe with politics. Marvel doesn’t have any announced movies that I care about because they are trying to ‘deversify’ into characters I don’t give a shit about. And I’m someone NOT worn out on comic book movies, but they keep trying to piss me off…
“Geez, I wonder what it would be like to have X ray vision. That would be awesome.”
Yeah, I never got into superhero movies. Dark Knight was palatable. But, to each his or her own.
I typed “lesbian batman” into youtube and got this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s1Gld-LHew
rookie mistake, you need to type that into pornhub instead.
Meh, in the books the character is a lesbian; she’s a newer character less than decade old, but this is the clip that has me worried. The last season of Super Girl was bent on politics it ignored the reality of it’s own universe to be anti-Orange Man. The Flash (The one I do love and got me into watching the shows, has only done race swaps which was like ‘why?’ but otherwise not heavy on politics)
My favorite was from an episode of Supergirl that had an AR-15. Bullets were falling to the ground because the writers were too stupid/lazy to look up the difference between bullets and casings.

Writers aren’t responsible for what would have been a 2nd team pick-up shot. That’s on the production crew.
But I’m watching for story-lines, not small cutaway shot mistakes, the story lines are so much worse though.
Both are endemic of a bad concept. Which is, that iteration of Supergirl
Here’s the thing. I don’t want a second Batman. She’s set up like a … man. With boobs. How is she any different from BatMAN.
Not what I want. BatWOMAN needs to be a kickass woman, not a dude with tits. We already know Batman has the physical strength to be Batman. We can infer that a butch woman will too.
The story is in the juxtaposition of feminine and kickass. See: Buffy.
This lady was awesome.
Love the shower curtain!
RIGHT?!
More ranting. You know who was an awesome “superhero”? Michelle Pfeiffer’s Wasp, that’s who.
No argument, but, she didn’t do much.
She did not, I agree, and that was a damned shame.
Yeah, but Batgirl was shot and crippled by the Joker, at which point she became Oracle. I mean, I would argue Huntress already filled the void left by Btagirl, but Batwoman doesn’t seem to care about getting her void filled, if you get what I’m saying…
I….yeah, I do.
I don’t know anything about that.
My only real point (it’s late and I am woozy on Tylenol PM) is that the punch of a female superhero is her femininity juxtaposed against her badassery.
Wonder Woman with Gal Gadot did a good job of this.
A butch superhero(ine) doesn’t do the job.
Few girls who want to see superheroines fantasize about having a lady love the way superheroes get. They fantasize about being a superheroine with a seat at the superheroes’ table.
I’m not a hetero girl, so the whole lesbian thing gets me interested. Just sayin’.
In fairness, the DC movies (in the latest “hey let’s kind of see if we can compete with the Marvel movies but not really” incarnation) suck.
And Sir Digs, I’d love to see how you decorate your crib.

This might qualify as “not even wrong”.

Sage words
Hi y’all!! Sorry I’m late. Had other things on my mind.
Also I might need medical help after a 36 hour session on Glibs…
(Somebody catch me)
My patron needs help?!?
I will assist as needed!
::Arouses from swoon to find Sir Digby leaning over me and loosening my corset, very gentlemanly, so I can catch my breath.
Yes, VERY gentlemanly! I do hope your breath finds its way back to you.
I must take care to keep my knight-hood! I had to send in a lot of box tops to get it.
Did ya get the secret decoder ring too?!??
It was a medallion, actually 😉
Why^ we have the largest lurker community.
What? I put out quality material!
Date rape is still technically a date.
That’s why there are rape whistles: You just blow very loudly, to signal your intentions.
I always cum when I hear one of those. Pavlovian.
Straff–get ready…
I’m here Diggy! Just catching up on the comments.
Rawk on–Two appearances back-to-back!
Wait–You didn’t go back all the way to the morning, did you??
Seems that Autumnal Saturday nights lead to trickle-down commenting.
As in, it’s down to a trickle
Sorry, man. Tired as hell tonight. I seem to have misplaced my mojo.
Were you visited by a fat bastard??
No…not me!
“Tanaka san (a coworker) used to beat the hell out of his wife when he came drunk. She’s Chinese. He had a serious health problem and now she beats the hell out of him at home. *shrugs*”
Weird conversation with a friend of mine.
That story was a pretty rough fap, straff. I mean, not TOO rough, mind you.
Stop jerking off to my posts!
I left you a nice present upthread
Entrapment.
Well….yeah.
Sorry, still working but thinking about funny-books. As far as mainstream superhero books, X-Men: Asgardian Wars (wherein Loki conspires to have Storm become the new Thor; and then the fun begins), and the bearded Thor story arc (IIRC, issue 350 – 400; the reason he was absent for Loki to make mischief for the X-Men) were fantastic reads.
Excellent! What drew you to Thor?
As a kid, I was a huge Spiderman and Batman fan but after I drifted over into more adult works, I lost my taste for the long-underwear set. Bearded Thor, particularly his battle with Jormungandr (The World-Serpent, one of Loki’s kids), just spoke to me. It was a beautiful story arc. Here is where Fin Fang Foom reveals his true identity to a wee hero of whose identity he too is unaware. – https://images.app.goo.gl/QUyDpQgzQg7yFbDi8
And here is Thor’s response – https://images.app.goo.gl/wnEnogMxyB5N3qPJ8
If that doesn’t send tingles down your spine I don’t know what will.
That is some good stuff!
So low…
Not even 300….for shame!
For CPRM and DEG, a call-back to the previous thread because I’m sad that nobody else linked to it – Gordon Lightfoot – Alberta Bound
GORD!!!!
I would have to say that ElfQuest and Starstruck are the best comics ever written. Honorable mention for Matt Wagner’s Grendel cycle.
I know nothing of Starstruck, If I’ve ever heard of it, I can’t recall.
Drop what you are doing and read it right now. Seriously, it is amazing. It’s one of those that benefits from multiple readings as it is so densely layered and has so many call-backs and call-forwards (like Arrested Development but anarcho-feminist science fiction). It started as a play off, off, off Broadway and morphed into a comic.
Far better world-building than the Star Wars universe and far better future-slang than Battlestar Galactica.
Duly noted.
If anyone pops in before the a.m. post; I’m out. Party died a while back, and I’m used up from the weekend.
See ya tonight!
Went to a potluck last night.
We brought a shepherds pie in a cast iron skillet. The ghost apparently insisted on washing the fuck out of my beautiful skillet.
Adding oil this morning. ..
Ouch! But at least the need to season it gives you an excuse to use it more often.
Ours is a relatively new pan and I’d just gotten it to where I wanted it (after about a year of ignorance and mistakes ). SMDH.
Blasphemy!
G’mornin!
Morning GT. *tips hat*
::curtsies::
Just now had the crap scared out of me – brought my laptop & coffee shake out on to our back porch to settle in for the a.m. A moment ago, a possum came out from behind the low chaise-style futon I’m sitting on.
At least I HOPE it was a possum…and not a rat! It’s scurried away now, but jeeminy criminy!
At least it wasn’t a skunk. Possums tend to be much bigger than rats, so I think you’re good.
This is going to keep bugging me.
Like a week ago we had a convo about how many times I’d been married to my wife and i was never able to respond to your question. . .
we got married the first time to speed along her green card application, but it was sorry notice and we didn’t plan anything, so we basically eloped. Second time was in my hometown, third in her hometown (Mumbai) as much of her family couldn’t attend the second wedding.
No divorces or whatever.
OK, thanks! I think I mentioned my former B&SIL’s three ceremonies – French civil, Catholic, and (I think) Buddhist. You can’t be too careful!
Yup. Ours were two civil and one Hindu. The Hindu one was different than most people think due to the caste and region of India my wife is from. It was very low key and there wasn’t even a priest.
So it didn’t go on for multiple days? I once attended a combo Hindu/Unitarian Universalist wedding – complete with open flame (hibachi?) near the floor of the UU church’s sanctuary. It went on for at least a couple of hours, IIRC. Probably short by Hindu standards, but long by Protestant standards.
Nope, this was maybe 30 minutes. Shorter than your typical church wedding. We did set stuff on fire, iirc, but at weren’t coming anything. The origins of Hinduism seems to include worship of fire itself.
Was the Mumbai ceremony traditional Hindu? I understand those can go on longtime.
