I’ve been kind of disapointed in my last few comics. Not that I think they’re entirely bad. I just think they sounded better in my head than I ended up executing them. So I decided to make a big splash with today’s comic and I’m really happy with it. The staging, the expression, the action, the big splash panel in the middle, the punchline – everything.
Yup, I’m really patting myself on the back for this one. I just like it. No shame in saying so. If you can’t take pride in your work every once in a while, you might as well be drawing Marmaduke.
We talked about The Eye a little bit in Monday’s Triple Feature broadcast, but no one on the team had a lot to say about it. We pretty much speculated if this was the last movie Jessica Alba made before announcing she was pregnant. If so, you guys can say so long to Miss Sweet Cheeks for the next few years.
Although I guess I did recently read something about Alba toying with the idea to be pregnant for the next Fantastic Four movie. No deals have been made, so I guess that’s wishful thinking.
As for the movie, The Eye – I’m kind of hoping this will be the last J-Horror American remake for a while. It’s been a few years since The Ring and The Grudge and I think we can move on now. Most J-Horror movies do a really good job of setting up suspense and mood. But at this point, if I have to see another jittery, pasty-faced ghost kid or water as a metaphor for evil, I think MY eyes are gonna roll right out of my head.
Not much more for me to talk about today, other than to encourage you to listen to this weeks Triple Feature. It was a good show. We spent a little time talking about Rambo – which is being savaged by critics, but getting a great reaction from audiences – as well as discussed the recent Oscar nominations. To end the show, the three of us made our Oscar predictions. So we’ll have to see in a couple of weeks who was right!
Don’t forget that you can subscribe to the Triple Feature through iTunes. I’m sure there is a myriad of ways for you to access our show on a subscription basis, but iTunes is the progam I use and I think it makes the process very intuative. The program will download our show straight to your machine immediately after it posts! No muss, no fuss! It’s an excellent tool to help you keep on top of the show, even if you’re unable to listen in live every week.
Anyway, that’s it for me. Have a great Wednesday! The week is almost through!
