Cheap Comics!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:05:00 +0000

March 10th, 2010 - Customers affected by these cancellations are being offered $25 gift certificates. Like I said, wasn't that upset. Though it would'a been very cool to have all those thick-assed comic-books. Nice gesture, I think, and free stuff is always good.

March 9th, 2010 - My orders were canceled (except for Four Constables) as were those of many others.

"Unfortunately, due to a pricing error, we sold many more than expected. In fact, we completely sold out — we don't have any in stock right now, and we're not even sure if we'll be able to get more.
As a result, we've had to cancel your order. I realize this is disappointing news, and I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Hmmm. Not as upset as I maybe should be? Those prices were way too good to be true....

March 8th, 2010 4:38-ish PM - Prices are back to normal, except for the Chinese titles near the bottom. Those will change too I'm sure.

These are mostly 400-800 page hardcover Omnibus collections, but I also found a couple of unrelated sets that had been sitting in my shopping cart reduced in price also. Dunno how long these prices are good for (Howard The Duck was showing as out of stock but I was still able to order it).

The original link via Lightning Deals
The fist couple of titles there are regular graphic novels, and the rest Omnibus.

Plus a few others I was able to find, There, may be more...

Passed on this one. As of this writing ~~$8.24~~ for more than a thousand pages, mostly stuff I don't wanna read, though.

Had to get this one. I've got most of the main issues from previous collections (hard cover and paperback), but not the annual. Price, right now, ~~$14.99~~, normally 60-ish, I think.

I hear Brubaker's a good writer, and I'd been kinda interested to read his Captain America. Having major plot points becoming news, or in some cases well known was a bit of an obstacle. I like a little surprise, but I'm not buying the monthly floppies. Just not economically feasible. On the other hand, I can jump into this volume without worrying about what came before, cuz I kinda think I know. Today-ish this 464 page volume is ~~$8.24~~

I ordered the Brubaker Daredevil collection from the Lightning Deals near the top of this post. Also priced at ~~$8.24~~. Was hesistant about this too. After Frank Miller, I doubted there was any point to reading Daredevil anymore, so I didn't. However the price is right! I haven't yet jumped on the Bendis version, shown above. Now I have.

768 pages, ~~$8.24~~, but I've spent enough money already and some old comics are a chore to read. Not a huge fan of some of these X-men books until later in the 1960s.

This one is tempting, though. I might regret not getting this. ~~$14.99.~~ Marie Severin did some decent work on some of those early Hulk stories.

No thanks. ~~$14.99~~'s a good price for more than 700 pages, though.

I was stupid not to add this to my first order. Corrected that mistake (placed in shopping cart at least). FF # 1-30, and Annual #1 for ~~$8.24~~? Sheeeeeeeeeeit! Ordered.

I already had the first four volumes of Chinese Hero (Chung Wa Ying Hung also called Blood Sword), and had kept the set of Volumes 4-8 in my shopping cart for months. The ~~$14.99~~ price is equal the current price of individual volumes.

~~$14.99~~ is only about ten bucks lower than what it had been for months, but still a good deal. Another one that I had been waiting to purchase. Though labeled volumes 1-3, this particular set follows previous volumes.

I'm on the fence with this one. More Brubaker, but doing what he's reputed to do best, crime comics. Ordered this, as well.

New video from Maja, from his great album, The Amalgam Project. Would like to see a new record, though.

February 23rd, 2010 - Turns out there is one. Been out for a while and is free at Reverbnation. Registration required. Bleach'd Out is inspired by the popular Anime (and Manga), Bleach. Haven't listened to it, yet (I have downloaded it), but the previews sound nice.

Nausicaä Coming To Blu-Ray

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 14:37:00 +0000

Japan first, of course, then the U.S. (hopefully this year). Ponyo will be out in a couple of weeks. I'll get it if it's cheap enough, but it's my least favorite Miyazki film (not counting Panda Ko Panda). Totoro No Tonari (My Neighbor Totoro) is probably my favorite movie of all time, but it won't bother me to get some of his other classic films on Blu-Ray before that one. As long as I know they're coming.

Prince On eMusic

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:32:00 +0000

eMusic has been rolling out some major label stuff for a while now, first from Sony and now from Warners (and perhaps others); Talking Heads, The Clash, , Hendrix, Van Halen, INXS and now Prince. Though the Warner Prince stuff might last about as long as the early Rolling Stones catalog did on that site a while back. That depends on whether or not Prince has a say on where (and for how much) his stuff is sold. If he does, consider it gone.

At this writing there are only three of his albums (not counting the various configurations of the pre-fame 94 East exploitation record put out by a former band mate), The Hits/B-Sides, Parade, and Planet Earth. I take it more are coming. I initially saw a couple of INXS albums a couple of week or so ago, and then just about the full catalog last week when I grabbed some good stuff off one of their greatest hits compilations. There's also some Sheila E; Most notably Glamorous Life and Romance 1600. Also The Time. I haven't had those first two albums since vinyl. Pity I spent all of this month's downloads. Crap!

Splitter Uppers

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:10:00 +0000

Japanese murder exposes world of hired marriage wreckers (full article at Times Online)

Although Kuwabara inadvertently fell in love with Mrs Isohata, he had been paid to track her down and seduce her as a professional wakaresaseya — or “splitter upper” — hired by her husband to provide him with grounds for a divorce.

The case is raising questions about the ethics and legality of “splitter uppers” — shady, but seemingly widespread operatives to whom a surprising number of Japanese turn.

As Mrs Isohata’s father said during the trial: “I can never forgive a business that toys with the emotions of human beings.”

Wakaresaseya perform a variety of functions, but all of them arise from the Japanese dislike of direct confrontation. Rather than pleading with him face to face, a woman whose husband is having an affair may hire a splitter-upper to seduce his mistress away from him. Parents may engage their services to prise off the unsuitable lover of a son or daughter. Dozens of wakaresaseya companies advertise on the internet, under names such as Lady’s Secret Service and Office Shadow. They employ models, actors and personable people of different backgrounds first to trail and then to seduce their quarry. The classic wakaresaseya operation was the one commissioned by Mrs Isohata’s husband.

Can't wait for the movie. Wonder what Takeshi Miike is up to?

Prince's Fight Song

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 07:41:00 +0000

Written for the Minnesota Vikings. Not really into football or sports for that matter, except maybe girls volleyball which I used to catch on cable. Also participated in Superbowl pools at work. I think I won like twenty bucks one year. Anyhoo, I dunno what a football fight song is supposed to sound like. Some people are saying that he got it right, except for the falsetto, while others disagree.

A poster on Prince.org, Comegetwild, had this great comment; "It sounds like the national anthem of a small baltic country..."
True, and probably why I like it.
The song itself.
The recording... not so much. Even though it's probably just a demo, the performance is just so devoid of life and imagination, and the keyboard sounds, so cheesy... One wonders, how a guy like Prince, who never leaves his residence without eyeliner, hair immaculately done, and pimped out clothes, isn't somewhat embarrassed by what is the sonic equivalent to seeing the man garbed like a cracked out homeless person.

I, on the other hand, am occasionally dressed like a cracked out homeless person, so it's okay that my demos sound like that.

But the song itself, I like. He should'a got the guys from Queen to back him up. That would'a been a fight song. Or at least a song on the next Highlander soundtrack.

Funky Forest - The First Contact

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:48:00 +0000

I haven't finished watching it, yet (Done with side A, started side B). Been watching its short segments individually, while occupied with trying to figure out why the computer is so slow, lately, and other stuff.

My favorite scene so far is titled Buck Naked and the Panda (or something like that) which ends with the Hot Springs Girls in a pillow fight. But I can't find that on Youtube.

Jonas Bro & The NPG? Holy Crap!

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 05:45:00 +0000

Caught the end of Letterman (waiting for Craig Ferguson) and saw one of the Jonas Bros (forgot which one, Pete? - Nick) performing with one of Prince's old backup bands plus a bass player whom I didn't recognize. The song wasn't bad. The only Jonas song I knew was also from a previous Letterman performance; the nightmarishly bad "Freaking Out". But this one was alright. Good even. I likes.

Avatar - Thought it was okay. Probably, maybe would'a got more of a "Wow!" effect had I seen it in Imax 3D, instead of just 3D (maybe it was digital 3D, I dunno). At times I even found it difficult to stay awake. It's pretty much The Last Samurai, but with tall blue people. The effects were good, but they were so good, that I often took them for granted, which might be what a director would want if he had something else going on (District 9). The Navi could just have easily been people with make-up (and digital trickery ala Lord Of The Rings) rather than CGI constructs. Stephen Lang was pretty awesome, though. We don't get enough Stephen Lang in movies, or TV (or maybe I watch the wrong movies and TV). Thought I spotted John Amos for a second, too, but that couldn't have been him. I was probably half asleep. I didn't care much for the story or how it was presented. The cinematography was pretty weak, I thought. Especially as far as exploiting the the 3D. I had a similar problem with Monsters Vs. Aliens. In that film, the shots with the giant woman often just made everything around her seem small, rather than the small bits making her seem larger. I'm pretty sure that it's partially the View-Master effect of these 3D movies, and partially the director's and/or cinematographer's inability to compensate for it. Then again, I'm not a film-maker. Whadda I know? I don't recall this problem with Bolt, or Up.
My brother thought it was pretty good and it's raking in the bucks (one of the biggest moneymakers of all time), so I guess James Cameron is doing something right.

Let The Right One In - Vampire movie from Sweden. I kinda liked it and kinda didn't. A lot of it was just watching this kid take shit from other kids at school which got old kinda fast. The other stuff was interesting. I kept wondering why the vampire girl looked so... Semitic (everybody else was Nordic looking, it being Sweden and all that). What was the filmmaker getting at?

This blogger, Exoskeleton, gets at it; "For some reason I haven't heard that mentioned, but it's quite obvious. It's in the convention of the vampire movie (Dracula is of course an anti-semitic figure, Nosferatu emigrates etc). The first page of any monster text: it's about the foreign/other etc. And this movie makes it quite explicit. It's in the very title, it's in the choice of actors (Eli is played by a darkish actress and Oskar is played by a super-blond boy), and of course it's in the plot (a vampire and her strange dad shows up in the suburbs of Stockholm)."

Comes close to answering a question I had about ten years ago. I had been fascinated with the idea of a link between antisemitism and vampire legend after reading about the Blood Libel in an editorial about the Crown Heights situation that blew up a while back.

I had an idea once which would play with elements of antisemitic legends and mix them with vampire-esque concepts (and other stuff). Still might get around to it one day. But it was kinda funny seeing how uncomfortable I felt seeing it played out here.

I plan on reading the book it's based on, and maybe revisiting the movie as well. New pressings of the blu-ray has surfaced which contain the theatrical subtitles, which are preferred over the ones previously used on video. I saw the movie streamed via Netflix. I don't know which subs were used. I didn't have any issues with the dialog, but many thought that the subs were dumbed down, when released to home video.

Just found out an American remake is coming this year, called Let Me In.

Birth Of A Nation - Had this in my Netflix queue for a while. When I came down with a cold about three weeks ago, it was a perfect time for me to explore this noted classic. I see why the movie is highly regarded despite it's issues. It's quite engaging and some of the photography is downright brilliant. Towards the end even I'm on the edge of my seat hoping the Klan will get there in time to save the day. More than anything else, I'm bothered by the film's attempt to assert itself as a representation of history, rather than the historical fantasy it really is. However, this was a version of history and the Ku Klux Klan that some people held to, before this movie was made. I was also confused by the positive representation of Abraham Lincoln. I thought southerners didn't care for him. An uncle in Texas once noted there were no streets named after him.

District 9 - Awesome movie, but kinda tough (emotionally) to watch at the beginning. It's obviously a special effects movie with all those crawfish aliens walking around and whatnot, but the effects are (like Avatar) done so well, you don't think about how the creatures are created, about FX, just about what they are doing and what's being done to them. I can't accurately break down the suspension of disbelief while watching it, but for a little while I actually felt like I was watching a documentary.

Belly - This one's about a decade old. Somehow I managed to avoid it in all that time. Critics didn't like it and neither did friends. Knowing that it came from '90s music video director Hype Williams (Puff, Biggie, Busta), I couldn't help but wonder what a crime movie would be like shot entirely with fish-eye lens, with slow motion dollar bills "raining" in the clubs and views of light bulb arrays reflected off of the giant sunglasses of our protagonists. This curiosity was never strong enough to get me to rent or buy the movie, though. Finally I "found" a hi-def file online, downloaded, and still took several months before I could bring myself to watch it.

Narratively (not a word according to my spell check) speaking, it's every bit the turd everyone says it is. The saying goes that a polished turd is still just a turd, but I don't think that applies here. This movie manages to be an awesome viewing and listening experience despite the horrid writing. Was it even written? Maybe the whole thing was improvised, just made up on the spot as they moved from scene to scene and then put together in editing. Doesn't matter. I was enthralled. And no, I don't smoke weed nor anything else, but the experience itself was pretty psychedelic. I especially enjoyed the use of audio effects in the rear speakers. Sometimes the previous scene would continue to reverberate for minutes after it ended in the background of the current scene. The blu-ray is on my to buy list. I wonder if the Jamaican patois is subtitled? Not that I really need to understand what that guy was saying. Might be fun to read.

Dammit! Why hasn't Hype Williams made more movies?

The Hangover - I liked it, though not quite as funny as I expected.

Bells Of Death - I thought I rented on VHS back in the eighties, but this late sixties Shaw Bros. revenge epic seems completely new to me. Not a great movie, but good. Thought I recognized a young Wu Ma in one of the lesser roles (he goes to warn his "uncle" that he's being targeted). The VHS back in the day had a great print of the film compard to other, later kung fu movies on tape. As great as one could look on a 19" tube TV, but appeared to have all of the fight scenes edited out. At the time I wondered if they were filmed at all, not knowing anything about kung fu movies made before the 1970's. This copy was also a rental, one of the remastered Shaw DVDs that's been coming out fairly regularly for the last few years. My memory isn't good enough to know whether or not this was the same Bells Of Death I saw years ago.

Inglourious Basterds - I dug it, but don't have anything to say about it. I'm ma watch it again, though.

There Will Be Blood - I spent much of this movie asking why. Why are you (the director) showing me this? Like I was being escorted by one of Dickens's Ghosts of Christmas past. I kept waiting for the famed "I drink your milkshake" scene. Thought I was gonna get it when Mr. Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) took his son to that restaurant, but it didn't happen there. Had to wait just about til the end of the movie for it, but it was kinda worth it. Overall, I didn't think that much of the movie.

Garoojigi - A Korean sex comedy that takes place... well, a long time ago. I don't know Korean history. Anyway, there's this guy who's the laughing stock of his village's female population cuz he has a tiny pecker. One day after doing a good deed, he's directed to a hidden potion that will solve his problem and told not to drink too much, which, of course, he does. Now he's the man and his penis becomes legendary. He's called upon to defend his country against the west in contest of cock strength against their champion, who of course, is a large Black man. There's a bit more to this movie than that, but not much. I think I recall some kung fu. If there was it wasn't a lot.

Gamer - Another fun movie from the guys who made the Crank flicks, though if you hated Crank 1 and 2, you'll hate this, too. I can see this not aging too well, though.

Well.... This Is Weird.

仍然挖坏脑'建设一个国家。 Still digging the bad brain 'the building of a nation. 比较喜欢的坏脑的想法比我更多的记录。 More like a bad idea of the brain more than my record. 在他们已经有了一个专辑的朋克值得/雷鬼乐队，尽管现在它更重摇滚，朋克相比，在我看来。 They already have an album worthy of punk / reggae band, though now it is more heavy rock, punk compared to, in my opinion.

"All I Do Now Is Dick Around"

Pretty much what I've been doing for a while. This is like my theme song. Comes from a relatively recent album by Sparks, called Hello Young Lovers, which is badass in a Bohemian Rhapsody meets Meatloaf, though not really kinda way. I thought those guys were just a new wave group from the eighties, but there's way more to them than that. I vaguely recall an old Saturday Night Live appearance, where I thought the keyboardist was named Roland because of the prominent logo on the instrument. I also recall they had the movie rights to Mai, The Psychic Girl, and they were gonna make it a musical directed by Tsui Hark. The idea frightened me at the time, but now I wish it got made. Wonder if they went ahead and wrote any songs for it.

I'm still digging Bad Brains' Build A Nation. I used to like the idea of Bad Brains more than I did their records. Now they've made a album worthy of a Punk/Reggae band, though now it's more heavy rock, than punk, in my opinion.

Louis Cha For A Thousand Bucks!

noreply@blogger.com (Edshugeo The GodMoor) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 02:03:00 +0000

You gots to be fucking kidding me. As of this writing the second volume is $150. The first is more reasonable at twenty four and change to thirty six bucks.

These three volumes (about 1500 pages, total) translates Louis Cha's (AKA Jin Yong) final novel (completed in the very early 1970's into English. There are a number of TV productions (often titled Duke Of Mount Deer) as well as Stephen Chow's 2 Royal Tramp movies.

Too bad they're not available as eBooks. If sales are the main issue keeping them out of print, eBooks could rectify that while keeping the few of us into this sort of thing satisfied.

Save Pedro!

Classic Funkadelic cover artist Pedro Bell is in ailing physical and financial health. We can help.

From the Undercover Black Man;

Album-cover artist Pedro Bell, the prophetic penman of P-Funk liner notes, satirical satyr of South Side Chicago, and one of my personal heroes, has been enduring health and money problems for years. We need to show him some love.

The Black Rock Coalition is sponsoring a benefit show for Pedro Bell this Saturday night (January 2) at Santos Party House in downtown Manhattan. Doors open at 7 p.m. The price is $15.

Pedro’s friends and fans were stirred to action by a November article in the Chicago Sun-Times.

If you can’t attend the fundraiser but would like to help Pedro in his time of need, follow this link to PayPal and donate to the Pedro Bell Benefit Fund.
