The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-21-09
A huge week of releases this week, making up for both the quality and quantity of last week’s poor performance. Because of that, we have three picks of the week. There were almost more, as some books really brought their A-game, but these three were real stand-outs. First for the week is Thunderbolts #128. Now [...]
Project Silence Podcast 39: All Is Lost
It’s been a long holiday season, but after some much needed rest, Jay & Jason are back at it with the usual movie reviews and disscussion of the long awaited return of shows such as 24 and Battlestar Galactica. Also, Jason loses his way with Jack and Kate. As always you can subscribe to the [...]
Babylon 5 Set to the Barenaked Ladies
I’ll tell anyone who will listen about how Babylon 5 is the best show ever put on television (Sci-Fi or otherwise), but if you just don’t have the time or patience for a well developed (and actually planned out) story, or just want some reminders of how great it was, check out this hilarious 3 [...]
Nigerian Police Arrest Goat for Shapeshifting and Stealing a Car

Star Wars Retold by Someone Who’s Never Seen It
I know a few people who have never seen Star Wars. None of them would have the courage to attempt retelling the story, however. Luckily, this person is willing, and also has a friend who recreates her vision of Star Wars with some great video.
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-07-09
Consider this like that classic issue of G.I. Joe that was totally silent. Well, a little bit wordier than that, seeing as I wrote this all out, but this week’s Ettatorial is basically my shopping list for the week. But, seeing as I was in Atlanta on business all week, and just got these on [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 01-02-09
The first week of the new year brought a number of quality releases, and a pick of the week that’s a new pick for the Ettatorial. So, without further ado, here we go with my pick of the week. Incognito #1 is the first pick for 2009. With the creative team from Criminal and Sleeper, [...]
