I had two Wisdom teeth out last Friday and it was quite harrowing. Seriously though, for the pain Ibuprofen liquid capsules did it for me.



THE LIQUID WAS ABSINTHE

YOU HAVE 'TIL THURSDAY

Still on the hunt for these, managed to find Rogue #1 on eBay but any help would be much appreciated!

Yeah great job Darren - particularly love those flames at the bottom

Dean Beattie?

Yeah that's Dean Beattie - very distinctive artwork and a nice chap

Well - I don't think it's even been commissioned for a series yet :S We'll just see them sheepishly pop back into Agents if it doesn't work out, I'm sure 

That said. I wouldn't mind a throughout funny campy golden/silver agey batman film

Although not campy necessarily this trailer just came out yesterday...

The days of Batman being silly are not quite over!

Just to pop back on here to say the last episode aired 'Parting Shot' featured the most hilariously crow-barred in set up for a spin-off I've ever seen. It's like that episode of Golden Girls where they turned it into a pilot for 'Empty Nests' (DON'T PRETEND THAT'S NOT A REFERENCE EVERYBODY GETS. I FUCKING LOVE THE GOLDEN GIRLS). It was almost poetically beautiful in how completely dumb it was.

[spoiler]A requisite for Hunter & Mockingbird escaping imprisonment and death for appearing to have killed members of the Russian government was simply that they were NEVER TO COMMUNICATE WITH SHIELD AGAIN (to presumably cut down on crossover cameos in their new show) but their final farewell scene involved them sitting in a bar and being delivered shots by all the members of SHIELD who are sat in the shadows drinking alone. They all raise their glasses at the same time. Then get up and leave. AT THE SAME TIME. The chokingly emotional tone of the scene combined with the maddeningly illogical stupidity of it is American syndicated TV in a nutshell and was utterly stunning to witness.[/spoiler]

I don't really have any interest in watching the film but I stumbled on this news this morning that may go some way to explain something about the 'philosophy' of it...

"I've always felt like The Fountainhead was such a thesis on the creative process and what it is to create something."

It's a place to note the passing of people that might have passed other boarders by

And on that statement let me sadly bring this back on topic by noting the death of a relatively obscure character but one that is I think vitally important player in the bones of British creative output.

Terry Brain

Veteran Aardman animator and writer - co-creator of Trap Door and heavily involved in Stoppit & Tidyup, two charming staples of 80s childrens television. He doesn't even have a wiki but his imdb page makes for an inspiring read.
