Luckily enough, Top Gun came on while I was writing this set of comics. Here’s a handy video for this great ending to a fun movie. Be warned, there is some foul language and a Tim Robbins cameo 🙂
“Where’s the comic?”
This is the question I’ve been asked some over the past few weeks, as I’m sure many of you who don’t know me personally have wondered.
Unfortunately, the answer to the question is a bunch of excuses. Legitimate excuses. But excuses nonetheless.
For those of you who care about my well-being, since the last comic post:
- My router died, and I was without internet for over a week. Kinda hard to do a web-comic without internet access. “But you could’ve still drawn comics without internet access.” Yes, but…
- I was sick for almost two full weeks. “So…” So I was lacking motivation while going through colds, coughs, fevers, and everything else on the NyQuil commercial. “But what’s the problem now?”
- Today I went to the doctor to check up on some recent chest-pains when I cough, and apparently, my coughs were so violent and frequent that I now have a cracked rib. Boo.
So now you know my plight. Yeah, I know people have it way tougher than me, but I’m the one who makes this here comic, and these are the reason why I haven’t made any comics lately.
For those who don’t care about my health or well-being, I’m working on yer dang comics, and they should be back up and running within the week.
This scenario completely happened to me last Friday night. My wife an I both got off work late, and neither of us wanted to make dinner, so we were just going to go out. Unfortunately, I arrive home about ten minutes before her, and I caught WALL-E on TV. Or more correctly, WALL-E caught me.
By the time she got home, I was entranced by the movie with nothing but a little kid smile on my face.
I’d be lying if I said we left as soon as she got home. What can I say, Those Pixar movies are amazing.
I actually overheard a conversation last week where one person said, “I just don’t get TV since the Writer’s Strike.”
Really?
What’s not to get? TV is TV. Shows are shows. You watch them for entertainment or artistic purpose. It seems pretty simple to me.
To give a frame of reference, they two people were talking about Hawaii Five-O coming back on TV, and they didn’t understand if it was re-runs or a re-make or what?
…
I know I do a web-comic that revolves around movies and pop culture, but are there really people out there who have no idea what’s going on?
One of the few things that brakes the awkwardness of watching a love scene in a theater with a bunch of strangers is realizing that you’ve seen this scene before. Such was the case when I went to see Watchmen, and noticed the surprising similarities in that nude scene to the one in 300. It’s kind of like when you’re watching Tony Scott’s True Romance and realize the love scene is just like the one in Top Gun.
Wait a minute! Profile Shot? Slow-Motion? Multiple camera cuts? The only difference between a Zach Snyder love scene and a Tony Scott love scene is the blue background!
