…is equal to the love you take

Finally, I enjoyed hundreds of comic books–both DC and Marvel as a kid. Since they can inspire films and television shows how are they different than graphic novels? Is it just the format, not substance necessarily? I always got the impression that comic books were somehow a “lower form” of graphic novels, not that I felt one way or the other having not been of the generation that seemed to bring about a resurgence of the graphic novel.

The one complaint however that I have about “Under The Dome,” is that I keep picking it up and then I cannot put it down. I just finished page 937 but somewhere around page 700 I cheated. I did what “real” book readers never do. I thumbed to the end of the book and read it to find out if the protagonist survived as well as a number of the fates of it’s cast of characters, both good and evil. I had to know. I wanted to brace myself for the moment their time came ( because something really bad was going to happen–that’s a given with King novels). Now I’ve gone back and much like knowing a spoiler from a filmed adaption, it has not ruined the story for me. There’s too much of it for that to happen and knowing what I know has only relaxed me a bit. One cannot stay in that state of suspension of knowing for that long. I just had to.
I imagine King would take that as an endorsement for his book. And that it is. Great book–especially for not-King fans.

It is 2010 and again I am not at Comic-Con though whenever my next trip to California is, it’s going to be well-planned and include at least a few visits to the King of Cons. I do consume a growing (though by 30 minute increments) chunk of Showtime’s offerings. There’s the crown jewel, Dexter and [...]

Warehouse 13 here I come!I thought that forthcoming eppys of Nurse Jackie were being made available by Showtime and if this embed works, indeed they are. Remind me why I’m paying a lot for television cable. For [...]

Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White It’s Clue. Why? First I’m not really a game player, no cards really (unless you count “Uno),” no gambling, maybe a bit of backgammon but no chess. I will play Monopoly, Clue and Scrabble. But both kids liked playing Clue for quite a while–which is the next plus–almost anyone can [...]

EDIT/UPDATE/FULL Episode at TV.com I perused the Official FOX Terminator website earlier today but there was nothing fresh. I went back just awhile after watching True Blood for the second time to put together this post as I couldn’t get the goods earlier and when I should be hitting the hay I’m doing the fangirl [...]

Fresh out of the Lake Or maybe it’s the continuous rescue, the superdefense or the moisture surge? Are they making any difference at all because they are costing me a small fortune?! About ten years ago I started trying over the counter anti-aging products but a few years in started using Clinique’s anti-aging, puffiness (“puffs”)reducers, dark [...]
