Odin’s beard! This bad. ‘zounds!

A Comic Cunundrum…

First… kudos to Marvel for setting the upcoming Captain America movie back in the 1940s so they could make him more patriotic. Jeers for thinking that only the 1940s would support a flag-waving (and wearing) patriot without any risk of eye-rolling. I’ve always thought Cap would be difficult to film — I mean [...]

Gutbusters — Top 5

We at Threedonia were remiss this past week in failing to honor Global Belly Laugh Day on January 24. I’m sure it’s a UNICEF thing. In any case… no one loves a good belly laugh more than me.

So what makes you laugh Threedonians? I’m not talking Cheshire Cat grin or [...]

So THAT’S Why I Had A Daughter

Every once in a while the daughtorial unit surprises me by doing something useful. (I keed – I keed!) In this case, she turned me onto what may possibly be the best cartoon ever: The Venture Brothers.

I am so out of touch with all things cool, and The Venture Brothers – as I [...]

Soupy Sales: January 8, 1926 – October 22, 2009 Requiescat in Pace

Be true to your teeth and they won’t be false to you.

From the LA Times:

The family name was often mispronounced as “Soupman.” To make matters worse, his parents, who had nicknamed his brothers “Hambone” and “Chickenbone,” dubbed him “Soupbone.” Eventually, Milton became just Soupy.

Kneel Before Cop

Cops in Times Square got into a brawl with two douchebags guys dressed as Superman and Batman yesterday. Superman hit a cop in the face while being approached for panhandling. Batman was caught and released. Lest you think it was fake… it took 7 cops to subdue the douche man of steel.

Live Long and Prosper, and God Bless America!

You may have noticed that a new site, Republibot, has recently been added to Threedonia’s blogroll.

From a recent Wired article:

Republibot describes itself as “The science fiction site for people who aren’t drooling knee-jerk liberals.” At first glance, the whole idea seems a little like political overkill. Then again, in a culture where Dick Cheney is often described [...]

Whither Adventure?

John FN — prompted by the great new Pixar film Up — asks below “Whatever ever happened to adventure?” in a great post. Let’s see now — where has all the adventure gone? Probably the better way to frame the question is “Who sucked ALL the fun out of life?” Let’s see [...]

Can’t Touch This

According to Lileks, what you are about to see is:

…simply the finest comic book cover in the history of comic books. It might well be the finest piece of art in the history of the 20th century.

I can not argue with that. Not at all.

Cartoon Wars

…not to get into a Warner Bros VS. MGM spat, but I thought I’d share another classic Looney Tunes film…The Three Little Bops.

I thing that a lot of people forget about these productions is the amount of work that went into the music that was used…pretty cool stuff.

Orgy and Bess

He probably said “I love you!” first — and then he died.

A SEX-MAD Russian died after guzzling a bottle of Viagra pills to keep him going for a 12-hour orgy with two women pals.

The women had bet mechanic Sergey Tuganov almost $5,000 that he wouldn’t be able to satisfy them both non-stop for the half-day [...]

From Watchmen to Kingdom Come

Zach Snyder’s long awaited Watchmen movie is due out in a few weeks. For those expecting more of the ra-ra testosterone of 300 will be in for a shock.

The film is based off Alan Moore’s graphic novel, which is a liberal paranoid-schizophrenic look at Vietnam, the 80s, Reagan and the Cold War. It’s much closer [...]

Watchmen Assemble!

Ok fanboy geeks. Time to put down that Wonder Woman comic and come out of your Mom’s basement. Watchmen looks like it’s a go — March 6. I guess this is official because they were showing ads during the NFL playoffs and 24.

Holy Glory Hole!

Stan Lee, according to The Sun, is set to unveil the first gay superhero. He’s going to do it in a TV drama a la Heroes as opposed to a comic. I think they could have a great debate on the nature/nurture argument when Robin tries to join the X-Men and then they [...]
