The end isn't here

A Nielsen rating comparison published yesterday revealed what shows are Dems or GOP viewers watching the most.
The data seems kind of all (Tin Man -a 2006 SciFi mini- is in there) and to be honest not really accurate for me:
I watch zero show from the “Bipartisan” list, 2 from the “Republican” list (South Park & Damages) and 2 from the “Democrat” list (Philly & Colbert).

And what’s that about the “Deadliest Catch” being number 2 on the Dems list? :)

I also saw that Knight Rider got a full-season pickup.
Not to be mean but: what the fuck?

In movie news, /Film has revealed that the Watchmen movie ending might be different from the graphic novel’s.
A test screening was done and as one might expect, infos got leaked.
I read what this “new” ending is supposed to be and am quite disappointed in it.
Nothing is confirmed yet so this info might just be fake, but still.
If it holds, this new end basically ruins what the “real” Watchmen ending, and actually the whole book, is about. It goes in a completely different direction unfortunately.
I’m even starting to wonder if the Watchmen movie is still set in the 80s during the height of the Cold War…

I’m really hoping I’m just wrong on the whole thing but you have to wonder…

And if you haven’t yet read Watchmen, be ashamed.

This was another useless post brought to you by tiredness.

The Amazing Colbert-Man


Remember that thing about Stephen Colbert being in the next Spider-Man comic?

The New York Times just revealed a couple days ago that the villain Colbert will be facing is none other than…spoiler alert…a grizzly.
Well, actually, The Grizzly.
Who is that? Doesn’t matter.
What matters is that it is now the Number One threat on the Threat Down.


Go Colbert!

Also, Wired has a great little interview with Marvel’s editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada, and Amazing Spider-Man’s writer, Mark Waid.

Here’s a little excerpt:

Wired.com: What is it about Colbert that makes him worthy of safeguarding Captain America’s shield or becoming president of the Marvel Universe?

Mark Waid
: Colbert’s worthy because he loves and respects our heroes. And in a world with J. Jonah Jameson in it, that’s an important qualification.

Joe Quesada: Colbert is a true American hero. He’s said so on TV, which means it must be true!

Remember that the issue comes out next week (Oct. 15 to be precise)!

Colbert + Spidey = Geek orgasm

Best. Combination. Ever?

As you may know, Colbert is really important to the Marvel Universe. As important as, say, Obama for real life, in that he’s running for president in the Marvel Universe…and winning.
That and he has Captain America’s shield, for real.

You may ask: from where is this awesome piece of comic-book history coming from?
The answer: an 8-page narrative found inside Amazing Spider-Man’s Number 573.

This truly Amazing issue will be out Oct. 15 for a mere 4$ (did I mention 573 is super-sized?).

It’s going to be legen-wait for it-dary.
