OMEGA-CAST #9: MAXIMUM OMEGA-DRIVE
New podcast up in your fucking gutsss. With a special fucking guest: Pepsibones Krueger! *Phazer sound, Phazer sound, Phazer sound* Back from his stint in the OMNIVERSE. With The Bones in Tow, the Gang Omega relocated to my compartment of the Space-Ship for this edition, and what occurred is truly the tale of two podcasts. Off the bat we vomit chunks of broken-brain about True Detective, artistic integrity, Her, how much Bateman loves to feel inspired, Ms. Marvel #1 and other bullshit. Then the booze kicks in, and what follows is generally just Pepsibones and me babbling drunkenly about Avengers, Star Wars, and Jeremy Renner’s amazing vascularity. So it’s pretty fucking awesome.

So hit the jump and let’s talk about sea monsters, fantastic fourways, space cowboys, and the brotherhood of avenging archers!
Patrick Cooper wants to take us to ‘VIOLENCE HIGH.’ Dope Film Analysis++
Friend of the site — nay! — friend of the Brothers Omega in general Patrick Cooper is undertaking a pretty gnarly task. Said Cooper wants to analyze how “real-life tragedies brought about a paradigm shift in the way films about school violence focused their narratives”, which sounds incredibly delicious in a mind-stretching wanky sort of way.
Coop hopes to translate this son of a bitch into a book, and God love him I hope he does. Hit the jump a taste his analytical aspirations.
‘EPISODE VII’ NEWS: ‘GIRLS’ actor ADAM DRIVER is all THE VADER-LIKE VILLAIN and such
Fucking stupid Star Wars. I’m all walking out of fucking work, dong thickened with glee because the day is over, when I read this news on my iPhone. So here I am — sitting in a shitty cafe table on campus — sharing this news. But I can’t help it! It’s The Force, man.
WARREN ELLIS got new comic ‘TREES’ coming from IMAGE. Jason Howard on art.
Fuggity fuck yes! Warren Ellis is getting back into the creator-owned comics game. Ellis along with Jason Howard is bringing Trees to Image, and you can probably feel the Force-ripples from my cascading dong thunder from wherever you are. While I’m pretty “meh” about his latest novel, and really “ehhhh” about Moon Knight, the author diving back into the world of his own sequential-art-creations is fantastigasm.
Karl Urban: “Conversations” totally happening about ‘DREDD’ sequel. DON’T FUGGIN TEASE ME BRO.
Karl Urban says that there could be a Dredd sequel. No shit! I mean yeah duh, there’s a Dredd sequel coming alright! It’s called The Raid 2! Ha! Get it? ‘Cause Dredd is basically a rip-off of the wondrous flick The Raid? Eh — who fucking cares. More than enough room in this fanboy heart for both.
Paul Thomas Anderson x Joaquin Phoenix jam ‘INHERENT VICE’ dropping in December
Oh word? P.T. Anderson and Joaquin Phoenix’s next uber-collab is dropping in December? Well a fucking Merry Christmas to me, too! Said uber-collab-jam is an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice. Which I haven’t read. So yeah.
Cary Joji Fukunaga ain’t directing ‘TRUE DETECTIVE’ Season 2. Nic Pizzolatto *will* write.
One of the great wonders of True Detective’s excellent first season is that its entirety is directed by one talented fucker. As in singular. One of the great wonders this produces is a gorgeous visual coherence that can sometimes be lost as a show shuffles talent around. Apparently one of the great bummers of True Detective Season 2 is that Cary Joji Fukunaga won’t be back to rock out in the director’s chair for a second installment.
Sony: ‘SPIDER-MAN’ MOVIES EVERY YEAR! Me: LOLOKAY
In case you’re the last asshole upon a bastion of denial when it comes to Sony’s plans for Spider-Man, you may want to listen up. Some Big Wig Person of Importance has announced that there will be a “Spider-Man” movie every year. Now this totally translates into “we don’t own any cool Marvel properties, so we’re going to puff up the Arachnid Universe.”
Cosplay: ROGUE from ‘X-MEN’ is my latex nirvana.
Not even fair. Not even FAIR. This Rogue cosplay knows my weakness. My glowing red dot through which the protagonist can fell me in a boss fight. Glorious, glorious latex.
Dammit.
