Easter long weekend looking into a close one with the Anzac period, but April 20 looks good for new comics in the store.

Still some issues away from the rest of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in the arc, but the Spider-Man The Other hardcover comes out this week. Too bad there's no intention of picking it up when reading every other, other comic in a crossover storyline is looking good so far. Though that is at two issues of twelve.

Ex Machina Special #1 is a good side runner to the main series. Expected for just forty regulars, anything on the edge is just going to have to be. Not enough room for it in the normal run it seems.

And there's still that back log from a few weeks running to pick up.

Too much vanilla in the diet leads to a freak withdrawal thing. That or it's a revolt against the simply said plain aura of this brown stick made into white.

Out in the popcorn seats of cinemas yesterday, V for Vendetta.

Store is expecting some posters or such to hang about the walls or what little room there is to spare. Perhaps that open space just out the door, where the poster rack is. Where else is better?

Or postcards even. A stack of about 50 to help flog this "uncompromising vision of the future" which, from a few reviews, hobbles itself by not sticking it to the man hard enough. Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving make this look like the kind of film worth watching. Knowing that co-creator Alan Moore swears off this makes it not so much for principle alone.

But who has principles any more?

From the dead of night's morning on Channel Nine to a relatively good evening slot on SBS, Stan Lee and Pamela Anderson's Stripperella looks interesting. Haven't watched an episode though. And haven't really seen much else of it. Could be as horrendous as every one else is saying it is. Could be some hokey fun.

What isn't fun though is the Stripperella flash game. Pole dancing like Mario running up the girders against the barrels from Donkey Kong. That's basically the play of this. Frustrating controls trying to work out how to bridge the gaps and make the jump from one pole to another.

It's as bad as playing Milla Jovovich in the Ultraviolet game on the site. Nothing more than click and click again. Like the old time golf games on the NES. Wondrous marvel that was. There are no weapons choices even though the character chooses fighting styles be it bare or with a gun. At least the game tests out the reflexes if nothing else beside the patience.

Thursday March 30 is already and pretty much here which means a third of the year has done gone by without much to work from. Not so bad for those mooching off the system, but for those that are their own system and finding the mooching a little hard on the teats, pain threshold is very close. Too close at times.

Ultimate Spider-Man #92 looks like the only read getting a drop in the order for this week. Reading #86 with the Silver Sable has been good so far. However, like the fluff will pad in the middle, no idea where this is going.

Doing a shocker to the system, the pilot of Heat Vision and Jack. Found on the popular dig of the del.icio.us beat.



With Jack Black as Jack Austin and Owen Wilson as Heat Vision, the production values on this look remarkably 70s and the dialogue so within that era. This for a pitch made in 1999 and the joke is the kind of cracker to salt sea water. Ron Silver, the bad guy of this aborted series, is wicked and oozes the kind of menace lacking in too many villains in the current crop.

Tragicool it is.
