Marion Cotillard is all up in the Web(z) stating emphatically that she’s not  Talia Al Ghul. Allow me to inform you of something! I don’t buy it. Imma bet this is some Obi-Wan  equivocating.

Sunday’s hour of Game of Thrones felt a scant 20 minutes, loaded with shock factor, upheaval and the brand of Westerosi monstrosity we’ve become accustomed to.

“The Old Gods and the New” is a phrase we’ve heard many, many times in Westeros.   The Old Gods were kept by the original, ‘first men’ of Westeros.  The New Gods are the Seven — the Mother, the Father, Warrior, the Crone, the Smith, the Maiden, and the Stranger.

And  still newer gods come from all directions; Melisandre’s Red God, which Jaqen has invoked.   Syrio’s God of Death, to whom we say, not today.   And certainly not least, the Drowned God of the Ironmen, to whom payment was made on Sunday, with Rodrik Cassel’s  head.

Fuck me sideways while kicking me in the jimmy with a  hallucinogen-laced spike. BioShock Infinite  has been delayed until after the Moment of Mayan  Reckoning, and suddenly the world glimmers less.

There is a fine line betwix courage and insanity, and the same rings true in the universe of meme. These two pups are the perfect archetypes for a deeper discussion on the difference. Some of our most beloved heroes we would probably consider insane, and so many of our insane villans have far more courage than the rest of us pleabs. The best part about the meme world is that there is a layer cake of laughter with some real depth down in the middle for those who care.

Just like last week, let me know which you enjoy most in the comments. God-speed, and good luck.

Joss Whedon has always been the man, but he has been upgraded to Pro Mode with his Avengers  face-smashing box office records. Whedon has taken to an open letter to address his Legions. Old and new.

I was worried for a hot minute about the United States and our crown as the Gluttons of the Planet. Pizza Hut over in the UK and the Middle East were unveiling truly heinous concoctions and there was silent on our Western Front. Worry not, friends. Burger King has got our back.

With Mother’s Day fast approaching I wanted to pay homage to the fairer sex in some way.   I thought to myself; why not send out a High 5 to the kickass ladies of Hollywood?   I wanted to steer clear of the Suzy-Homemakers and the Damsel in Distress tropes that pop up everywhere.   So here we go, 5 ladies that kickass and take names … no word on their stance on bubble gum.

Confession time: I keep forgetting that there is going to be another Die Hard  movie. Like, I’m going to forget it almost immediately after I write this up. I don’t find it to the most egregious of crimes, forgetting a movie that doesn’t need to exist. However let us seize this opportunity of remembrance to pass on some casting news and set photos.

Rebecca Hall was totally pissah  in The Town, and now she’s bringing them acting chops to the Marvel Universe. Let us all slow-clap and welcome her to the insanity that is having a role in a geekdom flick.

The name is a command, but this jib-joint is a commune. We put on our comfy clothes. Right now I’m wearing sweatpants, black socks, a cheesy pop culture t-shirt. We sit in a circle. Capri Sun will be given to all. Then we talk about the comic books we’re buying this week. Sharing is caring. No belligerence, no snark. Rub my belly. It’s warm, isn’t it? That’s because it is powered by my love for you, my comic book brethren. If you can’t keep the PMA you’ll be jettisoned to the dungeon, to dick-wrestle labia monsters with teeth and ill intent.

Don’t know what comics are coming out? Here’s a list.
