Monday Morning Commute: Wednesday. Goddamn.
Welcome to the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE, OL’s celebration of escaping workweek ennui with comics and movies and video juegos and other such godsends. As can be inferred from the name, this feature is posted on the first day of the week. Usually. Sometimes, when work is too overwhelming and the pile on my desk is more difficult to navigate, the MMC drops on Tuesday.
And then there’s weeks like this one.
I could blather on and on about my work woes, computer problems, and persistent bone-pains, but I think I’d rather show off some of the bits of entertainment that’re going to keep me from washing my wrists with a razor. Life’s great, so let’s deliver stress a fun-time uppercut to the ballbag!
Let’s go!

Variant Covers: Alan Moore’s Beard Is Your God Now.
There’s! There’s! There’s comic books dropping this week. As per every week, lest the Good Lords strike me dead. I can’t fathom living in a world without the weekly comic book shuffle.

Video: [the films of] Christopher Nolan
Kees van Dijkhuizen embarked on a year-long twelve-installment montage series, and he’s finally getting around to Geek Director Tycoon Christopher Nolan. It’s a dope spot, and highlights some of the works of his that don’t get enough pub: Memento and his debut Following. Oh and Insomnia but I don’t really remember that sumbitch.
Centaurus A Is A Region Of Cosmic Cannibalistic Glory.
Kitase: FFVII Remake Would Be Too Different. Or Uh, Too The Same. Uh. Uh.
The never-ending cry from Final Fantasy VII fanboys and fangirls for a remake drudges on. Final Fantasy XIII2: Ghost Protocol producer Yoshinori Kitase touched on the continual clamoring with a bit of equivocating.
The Lizard From ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Movie Gets First Look. As Pez Dispenser.
I can understand movie studios’ reticience for dropping the reveals on the baddies for their comic flicks. The problem is that they then often get spoiled in less than thrilling ways. Promo art. Cereal boxes. Now? Pez dispensers.
