Oh baby. Bear McCreary is joining the production of Agents of SHIELD, bringing his compositional wizardry to the show. McCreary was the composer for Battlestar Galactica, which stands somewhere between “My favorite show of all time” and “My favorite thing of all time.” These balls tighten.

I haven’t seen any of Steve McQueen’s movies, though it is not out of lack of want. However, because of that I haven’t really kept tabs on the good sir and his efforts. You know who has? Eduardo Pluto, who was totally up my ass (I moaned a little, whatever) about this trailer dropping. So here it is.

Thoughts? Deep thoughts? Sociopolitical commentary? Ratings on the trailer, based on a one-through nineteen bags of popcorn scale?

Today is the Famicom’s 30th anniversary. Naw, not the Nintendo Entertainment System. That son of a bitch launched two years later. Still, this was the system that launched a zillion-childhoods. It may have been repackaged before crossing into the Western World, but this was the console that started it all for a lot of us.

Thirty years.

Jesus.

It ain’t nearly the amount of loot you can get for selling Super-Action Guy #1, but the first issue of X-Men recently netted some serious money at auction. The son of a bitch ran for $250,000, which is enough money to buy Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers for at least the next three weeks. At least.

Elon Musk wants us to prepare our pathetic asses for the next mode of transportation. He dares us to don the steeled nerves that are required for the…wait for it…hyperloop. I can’t picture exactly what the guy is talking about when he describes it, but I’m committed as someone who jacks to end vague hunts of futurism.

Yo! Whatever. I know that the post title is utter dreck, a salute to running out of ideas. Dismiss my nonsense, instead deciding to bask in the glory that is the Sombrero galaxy.

Hit the jump for the full image, and more on this little gem.

Hello friends. Another harried edition of Monday Morning Commute for you right here. I’m in that liminal state between teaching and tutoring today (the two hat I don upon the campus), and I reckon this moment may be my only chance to vomit this up before the evening. So uh, rules of the game — we share what we are enjoying, looking forward to, and consuming with great relish on a given week.

Here is my collection of existence!

I love Colorado.

Now, I’ve never been to the state. But even from my perch aboard Spaceship OL, it ain’t hard to discern that Colorado is a multifaceted wonder. After all, it was the thirty-eighth entry into the Union that bore the mighty Tim Allen, creator of America’s greatest sitcom about a tool-man. Lest we not forget that Colorado gave refuge to a Boston hero and allowed him to become a champion. And then, of course, there’s always South Park.

I also love Mexico.

Again, I ain’t never been to Mexico, neither. But there’s plenty to appreciate about the nation. First of all, the Mexican flag features an eagle tearin’ a snake to shreds. Epic! Brutal! Awesome! There’s also the fact that Mexico is responsible for the taco. The goddamn taco! If there was ever a perfect food, it could very well be the taco! And if this didn’t win you over, the Land of the Shaking Earth was also the site of one of humanity’s greatest triumphs.

And now that I’ve discovered Agave Wheat, I can express my love for both Colorado and Mexico by drinking!

Marvel Knights is returning, baby! Back in the day, Marvel Knights arrived on the scene and punched my balls with awesomeness. Maybe it doesn’t hold up (I don’t remember), but the Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada run on Daredevil was one of my favorites at the time. So I’m pretty goddamn excited that the imprint is returning under the tutelage of some indie darlings.
