#36 Comic of the Day

This is no joke people.  This is deadly serious stuff.  “Cathouse: The Musical”, and when I say ‘Cathouse The Musical’ I don’t mean that talented broadway stars will be doing an adaptation of a ridiculous show about prostitutes, I mean that talentless prostitutes have decided that they will do their own musical about…themselves. 

Suffice to say I will have to watch this show and report back.  It is my duty.  I don’t expect I’ll make it through the whole show though, as the previews I saw were truly horrifying.  I looked for a clip on YouTube, but I don’t see one yet.  I’ll keep an eye out and if one appears I’ll update you immediately…it’s just that good.

Let me also say that those this post and cartoon seem kind of negative, I have nothing against prostitutes (whores!) in fact I think places where prostitution is legal (such as Amsterdam) are much safer for the women particularly in that their lives are more regulated and healthier overall.  If the issue was up when I went to vote, with the information I currently have, I would probably vote to legalize it.  What I do have a problem with is prositutes that think they are really super talented, at something other than what they do for a living :)  Joke people…these are the jokes. 

#34 Comic of the Day

Seriously, maybe it’s just the neighborhood (although it’s pretty much the same 10 block radius I do everything in) but without fail I get attempted pick ups after therapy, no matter how lousy (or good) I might be feeling that day.  What’s up with that?  This is one of my favorite cartoons thus far, mostly because it was fun drawing the girl in panel 3, I forget how much I like drawing women when they aren’t me.

Kelly’s Top 100 Movies…Numbers 76 – 100

December 11, 2007 in entertainment, lists, movies | 12 comments

So back when I was reading about AFI’s Top 100 Movies Of All Time, I suggested I might do my own countdown.  I figure the time to do it is now, in the four weeks before the end of 2007, so I’ll be counting down from 100 every Monday for the next four weeks, making my top 25 posting on Monday, December 31st.

As always, I not only welcome, but revel in getting comments, but please, especially if you’re new to this blog, let’s not rant at me at what horrible taste I have in movies.  I think anyone’s list of movies is pretty debatable and subject to criticism as people have very different tastes, I am no different.  And really, what the differences would be between my list and a “respectable” AFI list is what interested me in the idea in the first place.

I tried to be really honest…I knew when putting down Citizen Kane, that the higher it goes, the more respect I might get for my list, but the reality is that while it’s a great film,  it doesn’t speak too powerfully to me specifically.  It was especially difficult to weigh movies with the same criteria from different categories (e.g. drama, comedy, horror), you’ll notice that there are few comedies on here…that’s not because I don’t love a great comedy, but I think it is because it is exceedingly difficult to make a timeless five star comedy.

Last but not least, there are many great films that I have yet to see in this life (there are currently 413 movies in my netflix queue if that tells you anything) so if something is glaringly missing, it may just be that it’s brilliant and I have yet to get to it.

Okay, without further ado…

100.  Clerks (1994)

099.  Go (2001)

098.  Children Of Men (2006)

097.  The Believer (2001)

096.  Adaptation (2002)

095.  Lord Of The Rings I:  The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)

094.  Imaginary Heroes (2004)

093.  American History X (1998 )

092.  Kill Bill Volume I (2003)

091.  Friends With Money (2006)

090.  Broken Flowers (2005)

#33 Comic of the Day

This really was a horrible thing to happen…and I’m sorry it’s such a cryptic and annoying cartoon, I didn’t actually want to write/draw about it, but it was so present on my mind I really just couldn’t escape it.  I’m shocked to find supposedly intelligent adults in the world who are so closed minded and hateful…and just horrible little people.  I don’t know why I’m surprised, I should know better by now, but I suppose I am eternally naively hopeful that people will get a freaking clue and be better.  I was an angry and sad emotional mess all weekend as a result of this event (lucky Adam!).  What a waste. 

Oh, and apologies for the especially piss poor art in today’s strip, my hand is still cramped from a weekend of addressing and writing work and personal holiday cards and my back is still sore making it difficult to sit and draw for too long at any one time. Now that some things have been cleared from my plate I’m hoping to do a better job…we’ll see.
