  1. @ronxo Then my wife asks who I’m talking to. I tell her, and the customer service machine thinks I’m talking to it and I get to start over.
  2. @jsnell I agree. Part of a review needs to be “Who is this aimed at? What are they trying to accomplish? Did they succeed at that?”
  3. @jsnell There’s nothing more tediously navel-gazing than a good ol’ “What is Comics Journalism?” discussion. Ugh.
  4. Watching a Sesame Street sketch where Cookie Monster is singing a song about words that rhyme with Google. Why? Search me. #fb
  5. @jsnell As a comics reviewer who’s gotten stuck in these meta discussions about proper review theory b4, I shall now take a long nap instead
  6. @jsnell @HenryStukenborg @Ihnatko @stockwell We run the risk of an Avengers review turning VERY meta here... Wait, too late!
  7. @jsnell @Ihnatko @stockwell Crazy enough, I enjoyed the movie on its own merits.I didn't have the same expectations others seemed to have.
  8. @Cormacaroni Ah, there it is in the back of the hardcover. Thanks!
  9. Help me, Twittersphere: What classes is Wolverine teaching in "Wolverine and the X-Men"?
  10. @jsnell @stockwell Wasn't as big a fan of Spidey2 as others, but I like your choices,"Unbreakable" especially. Avengers is sheer joy for me.
  11. @jsnell @stockwell I agree with some of what was said on the podcast, but I stand by calling it the best superhero film ever. C'est la vie.
  12. @jsnell @stockwell I think Jeff is responding to how much of the criticism went unanswered that could have been. But there are time limits..
  13. With 10 minutes to go, @ihnatko shows his true colors in this week’s episode of The Incomparable: He’s a DC Fanboy! ;) cc: @siracusa @jsnell
  14. @IttoUsagi Yes it is.
  15. I'm getting in that mood again -- the mood to clean, which usually means the mood to throw out lots of stuff. I have lots of clutter here.
