This is ridiculous. I can't make a single ounce of headway on my final exam because I just don't have the discipline necessary. At least not until I go into the final panic and do everything in a stream of consciousness.
Anyway, I have a strong desire to read Animal Man and The Filth again, to just look for the meanings and thematic elements in each issue. Especially in The Filth. Animal Man is kind of overt in its main themes and symbolism but The Filth is a little more obscure. Aside from that it's probaly one of the strangest things I've ever read.
Essential Marvel Two-in-One is unbelievably cool. It's just fun 70's Marvel stories. Yeah, it does kind of get a little worse once Steve Gerber leaves the book (what comic wouldn't though, honestly?), but it's still pretty fun stuff. If I can read an issue where Thing teams up with Luke Cage to take on "Braggadoom, the Mountain that Walks like a Man", then it's generally a good comic. The actual printing of the book is kind of annoying though. I guess after reading Showcase Presents Green Lantern and Superman, I expect a little more out of my 500 page black and white reprints. The paper quality on Two-in-One is pretty low, even compared to other Essentials that I own, and the ink is layed on very heavily. It doesnt take anything away from the artwork or the delicate lines or anything, it just smells really terrible. It smells like old newspapers that have been dipped in newspaper ink or something. It's hard to sit and read more than 2 or 3 issues in a sitting because of this. Other than those problems, it's pretty fun stuff. It's certainly no Animal Man or even Seaguy (how much is?), but its fun.
Everyone on Earth should listen to the following albums and enjoy them to their greatest ability:
So can anyone tell me why The Passion of Joan of Arc was a significant film? Cause I missed that day in class, and don't have a clue what the deal with it was.
