Piranha 3-D (2010) – Boobs vs. Boom

Action Flick Chick — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:08:20 +0000

Being a heterosexual female, the breast has limited appeal to me. Now, I can definitely appreciate its aesthetic qualities and certainly applaud a well-timed flash of the boobage, but after a few minutes I get tired of the boobies and want to see some boomies! There is a very precise ratio of boobs/bombs that should [...]

Fried Chicken and Sushi, a Webcomic Review!

Krypto Dies — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:40:39 +0000

SO many people I know are fascinated by Anime, Sushi (ohmygosh! It’s delicious!), and other aspects of Japanese culture. Not many people know the specifics of day-to-day life for the country, people, or about the rural areas. It’s easy to think of certain insignificant things and sum up the country as a piece of food [...]

I’m jumpy now. As cool as Zombies and the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse is, I’m not sure how I’d react to maggot-infested, rot-breathed, flesh-eating “people” wandering around. I like to think I’d be all bad ass and shoot ‘em down. In all honesty, I’d want to be hiding behind the person that really WAS [...]

I would totally hate Scott Pilgrim if it weren’t for his being so awesome. REALLY?? TWO girlfriends??

Interesting…. “House of Mystery” by Matthew Sturges, Bill Willingham, Luca Rossi, and Ross Campbell raised SO many questions but answered them at the same time.
