No Zippy the Pinhead?

I should have said "FFFB category", I guess. I liked Heavy Metal.

I had a subscription to HM in 1979....(and National Lampoon)

Used to read it in the office. It raised an eyebrow or two...

Still and all, it's a bit of fun, innit?

I don't personally get off on them, though Deadpool was kinda' funny.

Some people will defend them to the grave. My brother is one of those people; personally I find them to be poorly written and terribly transparent. He acts like he's some cinephile but he's nothing of the sort; I suppose I have a biased view of Marvel fans because of him, though.

I dropped acid before seeing Alien in the theater.


Ain't been the same since.

Nice. I ate an eighth of mushrooms before seeing Jurassic World a couple years back... there's still nothing you can tell me to convince me it isn't a comedy movie.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

The first time I heard the term "graphic novel" I ROFLMAO.
Unintentional parody movies should include "Wanted" with Prof. X. and Angelina Jolie.
