Most of the criticism I've seen hasn't been so much "not enough Godzilla" as "the stuff that's not Godzilla blows goats".

[Pharozonk]

The main problem that the new Godzilla suffers from is that Aaron Taylor Johnson's character is so painfully uninteresting as a protagonist and you just want Brian Cranston to come back and chew the scenery again.

That tends to be a problem with Godzilla movies as a whole. For every Captain Gordon there are far more unlikable/uninteresting characters bogging down the movie.

A real comic.

Which brings to mind that great boy band DuJour, and their big hit. . .

Nope, just books! and we were the 'kissing booth', if a person's pooch gave them a smooch we would stamp their raffle booklet.


that it was.

Fun... Did you get dog smooches?

Do you know how dangerous my job is?

Honestly, the perils I have to put up with.

Fun sign. And I want a flying car.

Fun... Did you get dog smooches?

Oh yeah, and totally covered in dog hair...the cats were ticked when I got home. My favorite visitor was a female English Bulldog, I was talking with someone at the table when I felt pressure on my foot, I looked down and here was this solid dog sitting right on my foot. I finished talking with the one visitor and looked for the bulldog's human, when I made eye contact I stated "your dog is sitting on my foot" the reply "oh yes, she doesn't like sitting on bare ground. I hope you don't mind." She was such a cutie I had no problem with 65lbs of solid dog on my foot.

A real comic.

This is amazing.

[The Dog]

A real comic.

That title sounds like a porn. I'd say a gay porn, but considering it has a woman in it, it's likely the kind where the woman gets it in the end. *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*

The MunchKING draws a diagram:

A product of a different era "Back Door Love" probably meant the guy went in and out of the back door of her house, because he wasn't supposed to be there and didn't want to attract attention.

Thank you, O Wise and Wonderful MunchKING. Now can you explain boner puns to me?

Art School Dropout goes howlin':

Howlin' Wolf did it better.

Well, of course. But, like always, the white guy's version is more famous.

[Pól Rua]

Or I guess there's the more literal interpretation.

I got my finger slammed in a radioactive back door, folks!

So, I spent my train rides today rewatching Chaplin (which is a hugely underrated film in its own right) and got to thinking, what's everyone's opinion on the man?
Personally, whilst I appreciate the skill he showed in filmmaking and the debt that filmgoers owe to him for making the medium the popular art form it is, I don't actually enjoy his movies very much, and personally prefer The Marx Brothers.
Thoughts?

Charlie Chaplin's very much a product of his time, and while I can appreciate his technical virtuousity, his stuff can sometimes come off as overly twee. I prefer Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd, both of whom produced work that has travelled better.
And I ADORE the Marx Brothers.

You know what we don't have in comics any more?

Characters with titles like this..



There should be more of this.

Pol Rua: Lord of jackanapes and hullabaloo.
AND
Squirrel: Mistress of callipygian curvature and concupiscent debauchery.
IN
The Devilment of the Phantom Lucha Libre Mask.

I'm for it!
We would however need a sentient robot accessory, maybe some sort of work-related carrybag or satchel, which could make smutty jokes and innuendo. Michael Hod, perhaps?
"Don't worry fellers, you can put your tools in here, plenty of room for everyone!"

Do you know how dangerous my job is?

Honestly, the perils I have to put up with.

Horrors.
I imagine with the scheduling problems of British Rail you were standing there for a long time.

Nice.
What happened to "Mind The Gap"?

It's still being published, but the latest trade still hasn'tcome out.

That tends to be a problem with Godzilla movies as a whole. For every Captain Gordon there are far more unlikable/uninteresting characters bogging down the movie.

Captain Gordon WAS awesome, though.

[Donald M.]

That title sounds like a porn.

[Guy1]

So Baki Dou, the new Baki manga coming up, will feature cloning.
Well, I guess after Pickle, there was just no going back.

Is it weird to think the recently ousted Thailand Prime Minister is hot?

Because I think she is hot. Call me weird if you wish.
