Friday Brew Review: Verloren
We should all aspire to be a bit more like Indiana Jones.
What’s that? You say you don’t approve of Indy? You think he’s a poor choice for a role model? Well then, why could that be? Is it the fact that he makes murder hilarious? Or do you have some serious qualms about his freewheeling sexual ways? Oh, let me guess – you’re going to give me some malarkey about child endangerment? These’re all arguments that’ve been presented to me before, and as such I have no hesitation in brushing `em off with a Donkey Kongian nonchalance.
`Cause at the end of the day, Indiana Jones is a Nazi-battlin’ scholar who hunts down ancient artifacts.
It’s by conjuring this spirited admiration for the Jones-lifework that I approach the prospect of reviewing tonight’s featured beer. Although I’m not a philanderin’, bull-whippin’, gorgeous-as-man-can-be archaeologist like Indiana Jones, I certainly share his love of the arcane. Y’know, the stuff that’s too elusive or frightening or challenging for mass consumption. Like the Star Wars Holiday Special. As such, my reverence for the hidden truths of antiquity and inebriation and maybe even existence itself have led me to sip upon the splendor that is Verloren.

Terrence Malick’s To The Wonder Scores a Lovely Trailer
Terrence Malick is perhaps the most unique American filmmaker working today. Meticulous yet wandering, his work is instantly identifiable. A brief clip or even a shot from any one his movies screams “Malick”–a surefire sign of an artist doing his own thing and doing it damn well. And the trailer for his newest film To The Wonder is no exception. It is utterly gorgeous. Check it out after the jump.
Rare ‘BLADE RUNNER’ storyboards are the droids you’re looking for. That doesn’t make sense.
Geoff Hutchins shits on your idea of being the biggest Blade Runner fan. Case in point: this balling ass storyboards from the flick, which feature neat things and wizardry. Man, I don’t know what the fuck I’m saying today. Everyone drink, the world is ending!
Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick are objectively awesomest family.
This panel from Hawkeye had me busting gut when I read it, and now that I know the secret story behind it, the magic is doubled. Nay! Fucking tripled. So good.
First Look: Tom Hardy as Mad Max in ‘FURY ROAD.’ Oh golly. Gosh.
Yeah so like, this is igniting the phat pipes of the Internet today. Tom Hardy as Mad Max. It isn’t anything special. The picture comes across as one of Hardy just trying to keep the sand out of his balls. So yeah, fantastique or something.
Cosplay: Poison Ivy is finna stun you with pale beauty.
So long as Poison Ivy cosplayers walk the Earth, I know that we shall be capable of overcoming the White Man Misinterpretation of the Mayan Apocalypse. Ain’t I right?
Saturn’s dark side will haunt you. No force lightning though. Get it? Dark side?
Check out Saturn’s back-lit donkey! It is a wondrous image captured by the necro-astronomers, far beyond the pale of our Earth’s purview. I promise. I’m not making this up.
New ‘IRON MAN 3′ shows Tony Stark post butt-whuppin’
If this image and the trailers are any indications, Tony Stark is going to get his ass flayed in this third Iron Guy film. Good! Yeah! Put the stink on Anthony, and demand that he respond to it. Right?
Rumor: YAVIN 4 all sorts of a Jedi Academy in ‘EPISODE VII’? Maybe. Who the hell knows!
Holy shit balls! We haven’t had a Star Wars rumor in like a week! That’s insaneo. I was trembling, my nipples groaning from lack of Force-flicking. I can rest easy now however, with this latest rumor surrounding good old Yavin IV.
