Sorry to kind of recycle the same joke two days in a row, but I wanted to take a swipe at the MPAA’s anti-piracy trailers and another jab at Harry Knowles just for good measure. I’ve been in a swipe and jab kind of mood lately anyway.
Harry Knowles is kind of an easy target these days. Still clinging to his poorly designed site like it lends him some kind of fan boy credibility, he’s been trying to walk the line between fan boy and studio shill for years – admirable considering his prestigious girth.
Frankly, Knowles is a joke to me. Cashing in on the gullibility of industry marketers who think that by pampering him with back lot access and an 8 by 10 glossy of Teri Hatcher will influence this imaginary command he has over the online film geek fan base.
The only people who take Knowles serious these days are the sweaty overweight fan boys still living in their parent…

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE CENSOR BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Although the comic is steaming hot and ready to go, today’s blog is going to be a little delayed.
Jared and I went to see A Perfect Circle in concert last night and it was a great show. Preparing to be out of the house most of the evening, I prepared the comic in advance and figured that I could just pound out the blog when I got home.
What I didn’t count on was the first big snowstorm of the year. When we walked into the venue, it was sleeting only a little. When we walked out, it was a full-blown blizzard with a few inches of snow already on the ground. It turned an otherwise brisk, one hour ride home into a tension filled 40mph slog that more than doubled our commute. By the time I got home, I was shot. Imagine my glee when I had to do it all over again in the morning just to get to work. My regular 20 minute took almost an hour and a half.
So, anyway. That’s why the blog will be late. Plus, I have some stern words for MPAA Chairman Jack Valenti to go along with this comic and I want to be sure my little “essay” is firing on all cylinders when I unload it.
