Movies I’d Like to See: Milk and Cheese The Movie

Here’s a description of the comic book “Milk and Cheese” at Wikipedia (and I think it speaks for itself): “Milk & Cheese is a comic book by Evan Dorkin published by Slave Labor Graphics. It follows the (mis)adventures of an anthropomorphic carton of milk and a wedge of cheese. The eponymous “dairy products gone bad” tend to drink copious quantities of gin and become embroiled in unbelievably violent situations.” Basically, they get drunk and beat the crap out of people (mostly nerds, geeks, and the ilk), but they’re also not averse to bludgeoning their creator Evan Dorkin. And yes, they ARE a carton of milk and a piece of cheese. I tell you, it’s some of the best and funniest comics I’ve ever read, and I want my Milk and Cheese movie now, dammit!

Spider-Man’s Girl Mary Jane Gets Slutty, Revealing Thong Included

You know, if the cinematic version of Mary Jane Watson had been (and dressed) this slutty in the movies, most of the guys out there might not have been wishing the Hobgoblin would kill her off so that Gwen Stacy could take her place. Because let’s admit it, one of the worst aspects of “Spider-Man 3″ was Kirsten Dunst, who looked so utterly bored with the role that she can’t even manage to be mildly attractive. But leave it to the guys over at Sideshow Collectibles, who are offering this doll of Mary Jane Watson (they call it Mary Jane Comiquette, whatever the hell “comiquette” means) in tight jeans that reveals her thong strings and generous cleavage.

Spider-Man Owns Superman – Mac/PC Spoof Video

If you were a comic book fan, you really couldn’t like both Marvel and DC. Sure, you could read both books from both houses, but truth be told, you really had to choose one — which meant you bought mostly from Marvel’s stable of characters, or DC’s. What was the difference? To me, the big difference is mainly epitomized by their team superhero books — the bright colored tights and nonsensical storylines of the Justice League books compared to the too-human, gritty storylines of the X-Men books. Heck, even the Avengers had more believable storylines than the Justice League books. Basically, if you were a self-respecting comic book fan, you couldn’t consider yourself a DC fan and still say with a straight face that “comics aren’t just for kids anymore” because, well, DC comics ARE just for kids. But I digress. This is a funny spoof on the Mac-PC video from College Humor, only with Superman-Spiderman. It’s hilarious because it’s true.

Marvel Kills off Captain America. Kinda.

So the Powers That Be at the House of Ideas apparently thought it would be a good idea to shoot Captain America and kill off the iconic Marvel Comic hero. In the latest issue of the “Captain America” comic book, Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) was shot by a sniper while entering a federal courthouse in the aftermath of their massive “Civil War” crossover storyline. (see comic book panel below) It’s not like I’ve been keeping up with the going-ons of the Marvel Comic universe, but as a longtime comic book fan, I was a little shock to hear what Marvel had done. Of course, Captain America won’t really die; I mean, come on, it’s the comics we’re talking about here. No matter how “mature” or “gritty” they get, they’re still just comics, and supervillains can destroy Washington D.C. a hundred times over, but by next issue everything is fine again. Likewise with Captain America’s “death”.
