Today’s comic is based on a stray thought that I expressed in Wednesday’s blog. Basically, I wanted to make a comic about it because no one has seemed to clamp down on the ridiculousness of the tagline in My Bloody Valentine 3D’s trailer. Read it again with me.
“Nothing says ‘date movie’ like a 3D ride to hell!” What does that even mean?
I’m really happy with the little exchange I wrote for Tom and Cami as they snuggle on the couch watching TV. I wish we were only this witty in real life. Sometimes we can be, but I assure you no one but me is obsessing over My Bloody Valentine 3D in our house except for me.
Maybe “obsessing” is the wrong word because I really have very little more to say about the movie than that. “Befuddeled,” perhaps? “Flummoxed?”
Real quick I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been leaving comments under the blog posts the past couple of weeks. I had a lot of web comic buddies tell me “Don’t do it. Don’t put comments on your front page because people are going to take advantage of it and get nasty.” I’m pleased to say that hasn’t happened.
Maybe I just jinxed myself, but you guys have always been more than cool to me and I appreciate the elevated tone of the comments area. People keep it on topic, are friendly and it’s an all-around good place to be. So, thanks.
If it trips your fancy, it sure would be great if you gave a “thumbs up” to this comic on StumbleUpon today. It’s really easy to do. See that little “Share This” link in the bottom left hand corner of the blog? Click on that and then chose StumbleUpon to share this comic with their community. You’ll notice there are also a few other social bookmarking options like Digg and Reddit in case StumbleUpon isn’t your thing.
Social bookmarking is the next stage of my relaunch strategy. It’s been a great help in the past, but something I never pushed because I knew that I would be restructuring the archive and the link paths would change. Now that we’re settled, I feel like I can pursue it.
Part of me hates to ask you guys to submit links to these places because I feel I should earn it from you — More of an organic expression of “Hey, ya did good!” rather than me vote whoring. But unless I put it out in the universe that I want it to happen, it’s never going to happen, y’know?
At any rate, thanks and have a great weekend! I’ll probably be back later to blog a little more, so check back!
You know, he's right. When was the last time you took me on a 3D ride to hell?
What are you talking about? I took you just last week!
Yeah, but that was a 2D ride to hell. I'm talking about a 3D ride to hell. Are you saying I'm not worth the trouble.
Of course not! I'll take you on a 3D ride to hell this weekend. How's that?
I draw the line at 4D, though.
Aww man Line draw at 4D, but ever one knows the magic all happens in 4D
LOL!! I made sure to ask the girl I’m seeing to this movie before she said anything like this! Problem avoided!
Consider the upcoming alternative: “Nothing says ‘date movie’ like “He’s Just Not That Into You”!”
“Wait, what?”
With these options, movies like Bride Wars start to make more sense.
charming. it is nice to see little interactions like this. It is both funny and gives the characters depth.
I would like to make a little comment about the stumbled upon suggestion.
I think it is fine to ask. I am not that familar with how “hit” driven your website is. If it is important to you let people know. You put a lot of effort into this site and into your work. I appreciate all that you do. If a little click or link helps out I think it is great that you let people know.
Ick….any time you’re stuck with Tom, it’s a 3-D ride to hell.
Just messing with you man, I just thought the line in Panel 3 would have made for the worst pickup line possible.
I love the comments section because I like commenting and I’m much too lazy to fire off an e-mail.
I really enjoyed the comic as the interaction feels real. Good job on that.
You’ve come a long way Mr. Brazelton and I’m glad I’ve stuck with you.
YOUR SITE SUCKS!!!! Sorry, couldn’t resist. Anyway, I agree on that whole “Bloody Valentine 3D” thing. The poster looks like a ride, the movie looks uninteresting, and even a big 3D fan like me is contemplating passing it up. And this from a guy whose such a big fan of the format I saw “Fly Me To The Moon 3D” in IMAX. Yeah, I admit it. No, I didn’t think it was any good. Just want to clear the air on that.
