Weekend Open Bar: Surf The Astral With Jack Kirby’s Ethereal Form
In this post-modern world, where we doubt ourselves, our expressions, our very reality, not much is certain. At least for those of us who ascribe those wanky, somewhat debatable beliefs to Reality. But I think there’s one thing those of us who enjoy funny books and post-modernism can agree upon. One pointed, penetrating, non-perishable truth. That pierces through the pall of Post-Modernity: Jack Kirby is as awesome as it gets. In Reality. He’s the Best. And today, August 28, 2015, he would have been 98. Now sadly (for us, not him) he’s sloughed his mortal coil, transcended its greasy, entropy-bound parameters. But he’s still out there, surfing the gnarly astral waves. Beckoning us to join him. And while it is not our time to join him yet, let us honor Kirby.

‘Jackie Brown’ soundtrack is getting a vinyl rerelease
Good news for those fans of the Jackie Brown soundtrack who own themselves a record player. The soundtrack to Tarantino’s forgotten child (listen, don’t be the person to come in here and be like I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN IT!!! I know its a cult classic but I’m talking ask the average person about it) is getting itself a rerelease on vinyl. And man, I haven’t watched the film in a while, but seeing the track listing? Reminds me of what a great fucking soundtrack the movie has.
‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ may be shooting in ultra widescreen Panavision 70
Rogue One may be going where few have gone. In a while at least. Except for Quentin Tarantino. None the less! It may be going ultra widescreen, cinematic spectacle, and I’m fucking stoked.
‘Borderlands’ is getting a movie adaptation. Uh neat, but give me ‘Borderlands 3’ plzkthnx
Borderlands is going to be making the hop from video game to movie. Wee! Yay! And even though I know they’re not directly (or at all) correlated, this news just makes me want a third title in the game series even more.
‘Metal Gear Cafe’ is a real place in Paris. Le Big Boss Burger, frreal.
Metal Gear Solid 5 drops on Tuesday, and we’re all celebrating it in different ways. But of all the ways one may do it, I don’t think any of us shall top opening up a fucking Metal Gear-themed cafe. We all lose this one, folks.
New ‘The Force Awakens’ Clip: Finn Readies His Lightsaber
Dear God. If you don’t watch this clip, I get it. But if you watch this clip (as a Star Wars fan) and it does nothing for you, not even the Elder Ones can save you. Putting it after the jump ’cause the video thumbnail itself is pretty spoilery for those wishing to remain pure.
‘Galaxy Quest’ TV show being developed by Amazon
Welcome to the Future. Where cult, niche, and wonderful television shows are being revived. Some as the result of great clamoring, some as the result of…I don’t know. ‘Cause it’s the Future and we can?
