After a last second cancellation on Saturday, SpaceX has finally launched its Dragon capsule outside the reach of Mother Earth’s gravi-guts. Huzzah!

Cronenberg was at  Cannes Film Festival  big reppin’ his latest film Cosmopolis  as well as the first film by his son. While there, the good master of  venereal horror spat a bit about the usage of digital film versus the old and wonderful. His take? Fuck film, man!

Ain’t this an interesting eye sore all over the teats of a town in Wales. Riffing off of a TED talk that talked about doing an entire down in QR codes, they’ve plastered more than 1,000 codes onto their structures and such.

Wasn’t expecting Charlie Kaufman to get into the television game, but I also wasn’t expecting the dude who craft a novel. I need to just sit back and let the dude create.

True life confessional stylee: I loved the original Lazy Sunday back in the day (and while it was hot I think it’s not cool to like it anymore), and if this is indeed Samberg’s final Digital Short, it seems fitting to drop this as his coda.

There were a lot of things I expected out of the Activision vs. Electronic Arts grudge match: namely wasting money and hair-pulling. What I didn’t expect was to find Bungie’s next game  inadvertently  revealed.

SpaceX had to cancel its attempted launch on Saturday at quite literally the last second. We ain’t talking the overused, played out notion of the word. They crushed the attempt with a second left, due to concerns over valves and uh, things. Tomorrow they’re going to give it another go.

Dios mio, today is the day of teaser clips. The latest and most anticipated one for yours truly is from The Master. I can’t wait for this next flick from P.T. Anderson, and even though I’ve been riding it for a while I really haven’t given much thought to  Joaquin Phoenix or his role in the movie. That ends now.

As a lifelong nerd, I occasionally delude myself into thinking that I’ve acquired superpowers. Truth be told, most of the time my faux-epiphanies are innocuous. So instead of jumping to my death in a moment of perceived super-flight, I just render myself nauseous after a hyper-metabolism delusion inspires me to eat fifty buffalo wings too many.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking, and I can’t disagree. I’m the type of moron that gives comic book fans a bad rap. But every now and then, my fantasies enable me to do something pretty rad.

For example, what would happen if I stopped thinking of myself as a hack-writer/petty-blogger? What if I started to believe that I could actually correspond with artists whose work I admire? And what if, in the midst of this Pepsi-drinkin’ daydream, I actually contacted someone in the hopes of sharing their words with the world?

Well, then we’d get a feature like the one I’m about to present — an interview with Farel Dalrymple.

As one of the founders of Meathaus, the creator of Pop Gun War, and one of the artists currently working on PROPHET with Brandon Graham, Farel Dalrymple is a comics creator worthy of respect and admiration. Despite his incredible workload, Mr. Dalrymple was gracious enough to respond to my semi-coherent questions. And this might just be the type of reinforcement that convinces that I do have superpowers after all.

Dangerous.

Punch it into hyperspace to see Farel Dalrymple’s thoughts on comics anthologies, his current work, and even Type   O Negative.

I’m really excited for The Dark Knight Rises, hoping it is every bit a brooding, haunting, artistic wunderkind as Avengers  was the pinnacle of popcorn. Here’s a poster for it.
