- @giagia Oh yes. & if that's your 1st time, just wait. You think that Clint Mansell score got to you NOW, but when you hear it again…Wow. in reply to giagia #
- Watched last night's Thick Of It with G1 earlier… now that she's seen & enjoyed In The Loop, it feels like a world has opened up for us… #
- …Though the stupid DVR missed off the last couple of minutes. Which it ALWAYS fucking does. Grr. #
- Also watched Banlieue 13, her 1st time, my 2nd. A lot of fun… thanks @Sulman for showing me it years back. #

- Interestingly, G1 sat through In The Loop without issues with Tucker, but in the compressed setting of Thick Of It couldn't help commenting. #
- @giagia Heh… Moon DVDs are so cheap, the OST is probably more expensive! in reply to giagia #
- @giagia …But yeah. Can't think of a single Mansell score that doesn't give me goosebumps. Funny to think of his roots, really… in reply to giagia #

- @SamShepherd I think what I read into that piece, that might not be there, is distress that Twilight really IS all there is in it's field. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …On the other hand, whenever ANYTHING gets as successful as Twilight is, they draw this sort of negative attention. Eg.Brown. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd (I've written worse!) in reply to SamShepherd #
- @Sulman I think it's the Gordon Freeman effect, tbh. in reply to Sulman #
- @SamShepherd Well, that's a bit unfair – I think we're all entitled to look critically at stuff for which we're not the intended audience… in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …as long as you're conscious of the fact going in. Plus, I agree about definitions of "field". in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …Tho the audience for Twilight has kind of defined itself on that front. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd Heh! I did wonder. & he might not know, but I think it's possible to guess. Things tend to get as big as Twilight in isolation. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd That is to say, things get popular, sure, but they don't tend to become a phenomena if they're splitting a demographic… in reply to SamShepherd #
- Star Wars (1st time), The Matrix (1st movie), even Harry Potter were all either unique at-time-of-introduction or one-of-a-kind at-time. #
- @SamShepherd Course. But then, if they were just people, it's possible that NOBODY would be talking about Twilight to this extent… in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …I don't know how Twilight grew, but I'm betting it was the geek-dollar that set things rolling. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd After all, there really isn't any shortage of teen girl-servicing lit any more. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd Vamp thing ALSO gives it a veneer of intrigue, though. You'd have to go some to create as romantic a notion as Edward without. in reply to SamShepherd #
- For what it's worth, I'd be surprised if Meyer stitched the elements of Twilight together deliberately to be as addictive. Happy accident! #
- @Sulman Grr… We need to work out a hashtag for when you do that to me! in reply to Sulman #
- Also to be fair, Angel was as much of a cardboard cutout character as Edward before transitioning into his own series. Whedon ain't perfect. #
- I know have Google Wave, thanks to @philkirby (thanks, Phil!). Will be playing with it properly tomorrow, I hope! #
- OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. Please, somebody stop @Sulman & @JamesMOMB. They keep kicking me. IN THE SOUL! #

- @SamShepherd But… but I do like Angel! Just, you have to look at what the character became to really see his value. Xander said it first! in reply to SamShepherd #
- @JamesMOMB But… but Ron Howard DOES do that… I… @Sulman, is he just trying to confuse me with kindness before he starts at it again? in reply to JamesMOMB #
- Last call, you guys: Any new comics or comic news you want us to talk about on #MOMBcast tonight, contact us now! (Please RT) #
- Huh. How odd. Absolutely CERTAIN I posted a story from a while back, but can't find it anywhere… #
- @RichMOMB Is that all you have to say for yourself? in reply to RichMOMB #
- Home from the #MOMBcast. I am soaking wet from getting caught in the rain with @JaneMOMB. About to have a bath. By myself not with @JaneMOMB #
- @hodgman Wait, what… Where you on QI tonight? I am so confused. Stupid alcohol. in reply to hodgman #
- Too easy, @hattiehattie. When it's THIS easy to dispose of a corpse, it's almost too easy to stop creating them… #
- It is, in fact, political correctness gone mad. #
- This is stupid. I hardly drank anything. It was only watching @RichMOMB give way to his baser desires that triggered this feeling. #MOMBCast #
- Wow… I had so many ideas for awesome blog-posts on the way home tonight that it's incredible that none will still be with me by morning. #

- Well-o… been putting off listening to the #MOMBcast, as I'm sort of dreading it – I was in a bad mood yesterday, & worried it came across. #
- Here goes! #MOMBcast 10, comin' atcha! #
- Fuckinell. An hour and 48 minutes? Lucky I'm wearing my special incontinence pants. #MOMBcast #
- Well, that's a good start. Apparently we can't even manage the introductions any more. #MOMBcast #
- Genital mutilation! Before the 3 minute mark! Oh my fucking christ! #MOMBcast #
- I am SO relieved that I got the 2:30 gag in. #MOMBcast #
- MORE cock talk. It's more like a porn podcast than a comic one. JESUS. #MOMBCast #
- Hey you guys! Jon has a tiny cock, you guys! That was the actual important bit of that skit! #MOMBcast #
- Oh god, Jane is like a compulsive liar. Thanks to us. #MOMBcast #
- We learnt a swear from Ricky Gervais. GO TEAM #MOMBcast. #
- @thepetshopboy If you like ninjas, you'll love the #MOMBcast. Actually, you'll probably just learn to hate me. in reply to thepetshopboy #
- @Mykx Yay! Oh, hang on, you think I'm okay about now, don't you? This'll fuck THAT up, anyway. in reply to Mykx #
- It occurs to me that @RichMOMB has NO sense of whimsy at this point. NONE AT ALL. TOTALLY torpedoed our #MOMBcast myth-making. #
- @JaneMOMB wasn't really frozen you guys. She's just a liar. A FILTHY, DIRTY liar. She did read those comics, though. #MOMBcast #
- That's @JamesMOMB's 1ST mention of Seinfeld. With any luck it'll be the last. @RichMOMB's 1st watch-check, at 10 minutes. #MOMBcast, people! #
- @thepetshopboy Oh gosh, haven't you listened to it, yet? We do a comic podcast every Thursday, called #MOMBcast. It is retarded, tbh… in reply to thepetshopboy #
- FFS, @RichMOMB KEPT passing me cans, with NO regard for the pile unopened at my feet. #MOMBcast. Reminds me of something @Sulman & G1 did… #
- My 1st bitch about Twilight. Hopefully that'll be the last on this #MOMBcast. Also, we "out" Bruce Forsyth. #
- @jhewlett Oh yeah… I love that guy. Actually, he's PERFECT for Hawkeye… same barely contained working class rage, innit? in reply to jhewlett #
- @thepetshopboy http://is.gd/4QPAL (Oh yeah thanks, @Mykx!) in reply to thepetshopboy #
- Oh, fuck me, @JamesMOMB… just jumped onto the #MOMBcast site… Is that Comics Sans on the photos? #
- #MOMBcast At around 12:50, @jhewlett may be interested to hear what we deliberately don't talk about. #
- …Then @RichMOMB bitched about people talking about whether or not they enjoyed their comics on Wed. Which was ironic. #MOMBcast #
- Shit! Shit! @Mykx, ignore what just happened… I was trying to get rid of Britney spam! #
- Oh no… how do you take back a spam block? #
- Oh great, Twitter etiquette in the #MOMBcast #
- Americans have to eat turkey as punishment for leaving us behind. #MOMBcast #
- 2nd Seinfeld mention from @JamesMOMB! Triffic. #MOMBcast #
- Detective Comics is awesome. Does it kind of go without saying by now? Or is it always worth mentioning? #MOMBcast #
- Not to thrash this point into the ground, but those last few pages of Detective Comics this week are just gorgeous. #MOMBcast #
- @Sulman Oh, you didn't mention if you heard us not mentioning John Peel in last week's #MOMBcast in reply to Sulman #
- My guess is that "round those parts" that guy isn't really known as "Dr Wave". #
- Uncertain as to what it is @JamesMOMB is actually worrying about with the cover thing. Doesn't he like people talking about them? #MOMBcast #
- @jhewlett Oh, no, not at all… it was… I'll DM… in reply to jhewlett #
- LOLs at @JaneMOMB's little behind & yuck at me uncomfortably stumbling over managing @RichMOMB's eagerness. #MOMBcast #
- @JamesMOMB Was it more about jumping in on other people's reviews? in reply to JamesMOMB #
- I remember being uncertain at this point whether @JaneMOMB actually knew about Katrina while she talked about NOLA. She did. #MOMBcast #
- The Twist!: It turns out that I was the idiot ALL ALONG! I know, newsflash, huh? #MOMBcast #
- @Mykx I did, but not on purpose. I was blocking some Britney porn, & you were just underneath it in my Tweetdeck. I tweeted about it! #
- @Mykx I can't DM you, though, because even though I refollowed, the "block" seems to have unfollowed me from your end, too. It is very gah! #
- Anita Blake. @JaneMOMB says you either love or hate her. Chris Sims HATES her: http://is.gd/54BoG. He has tarnished my opinion! #MOMBcast #
- Actually, tho, it's inclusion on the #MOMBcast does raise a point: as easy to deride as some adaptation comics are, they provide a service. #
- …As poor as Anita Blake books may be they ARE popular, & I suspect the comics are at least good enough to appeal to fans of them.#MOMBcast #
- …Marvel obviously know what they're doing with those books, even though it's unlikely I'll ever read one. #MOMBcast #
- @Mykx Hope there's no fallout from the spam thingie-ing. I doubt there will be, mind. There MUST be contingencies in place for that, right? in reply to Mykx #
- Photo: She Thought She Won a Toyota Absolutely lovely. http://tumblr.com/xi54ag1gb #
- OH HA HA @JamesMOMB… Nickbaiting! I threaten him with NOOGIES! #MOMBcast #
- Hm. @JaneMOMB finds it LESS scary when I smile while threatening violence. Most people feel differently. #MOMBcast #
- Is Spider-Woman British? #MOMBcast #
- I am now going to fiercely Wikipedia these items which I am passing off as FACT in the #MOMBcast from last night. #
- @_arien Oh WELL DONE YOU. See, now that you've mentioned it on Twitter, I may remember it. in reply to _arien #
- @Chris_TOMP There you go, my mistake. I'm a silly pickle. #MOMBcast in reply to Chris_TOMP #
- Correction: I was totally wrong about Spider-Woman's nationality, you guys. Thanks for correction, @Chris_TOMP. #MOMBcast #
- That was the bit where we totally went on about @Chris_TOMP. #MOMBcast #
- "“There’s a penis! I’ve seen a penis in it!”" – @JamesMOMB #MOMBcast http://tumblr.com/xi54ag694 #
- Oh fucking hell. I was even wrong about the animation origins thing. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. #MOMBcast #
- Heh. "Dodgemen Logic". #MOMBcast #
- The magazine insert in Dodgem Logic just totally baffled me & @JaneMOMB. She thought I had a knackered copy. #MOMBcast #
- Overheard: RichMOMB, moving swiftly on. – James: I think this review is going really well, actually. Rich:… http://tumblr.com/xi54ag7x9 #
- We wring a LOT out of Dodgem Logic, considering none of us had read it yet. #MOMBcast #
- Oh, yay, this is the bit where @RichMOMB does a dramatic rendering of Alan Moore's introduction to Dodgem Logic! I LOVED this bit! #MOMBcast #
- I kept thinking he was going to stop. He didn't. It was like an endless cavalcade of delight! Wave after wave after wave! #MOMBcast #
- @Sulman Yeah… keep pausing to respond to queries and stuff. Am I being erratic? in reply to Sulman #
- Worth noting at this point that we have a firm "2 new comics each" rule. Dodgem Logic is @RichMOMB's 1st. #MOMBcast #
- Dodgem Logic: "It's a bit like a Nuts that isn't horrible." (Really, #MOMBcast Nick?) #
- @Sulman Oh, I definitely did a tiny bit of research just now on Spider-Woman after that bit was finished on the podcast. in reply to Sulman #
- Now I need to go and check that the things I say about Image in a second are actually accurate. #MOMBcast #
- What @RichMOMB said there about Image being 1st indie comics label was a total verbal typo, btw. I don't think it's what he meant. #MOMBcast #
- I just realised that I'm about to do a @JonMOMB thing, & completely space on a fact that @RichMOMB already shared, about Chew. #MOMBcast #
- Comic count: Image United is @RichMOMB's second comic. #MOMBcast #
- Comic count: Chew is @RichMOMB's third comic. #MOMBcast #
- It is worth noting at this point that, as @JamesMOMB says, @RichMOMB is a motherfucking ninja, so can do what he wants. #MOMBcast #
- Awww… "Don't turn into robots." @JaneMOMB. #MOMBcast #
- @sispurrier We don't NEED no stinking BADGERS! in reply to sispurrier #
- #MOMBcast Nick, editorial mandate & creative mandate aren't mutually exclusive. Wish I'd had a chance to research this bit… #MOMBcast. #
- …Worried I may have just misrepresented Image's policies with new indie comics under their banner. #MOMBcast #
- Comic count: Criminal is @RichMOMB's FOURTH comic. It's fucking anarchy! He's a fucking anarchist! #MOMBcast #
- Beersplosion! #MOMBcast #

- They really were just pointing at boobs on the Gotham City Sirens cover there, listeners! #MOMBcast #
- I wonder how much detail @JamesMOMB is about to go into on this Gotham City Sirens review? #MOMBcast #
- Nobody knows about Gaggy. #MOMBcast #
- @Butwin Back-to-back sequel making! You're BIGTIME now, baby! in reply to Butwin #
- I just got the urge to shout "Now Kiss!" at @JamesMOMB & @RichMOMB then. #MOMBcast #
- Oh wow! @JamesMOMB buys his comics in a TIME WARP! #MOMBcast #
- Actually, you know, I think @JamesMOMB & @RichMOMB are kinda bullies when they get together. I had repressed it. #MOMBcast #
- @Butwin Oooh… I see…! in reply to Butwin #
- I have posited that to make Perpetual Motion Engine you could strap a piece of buttered toast onto a cat's tummy, & drop them, @Butwin. #
- …Or onto it's back, I suppose. Doesn't matter, as long as you get the direction of the surfaces right. @Butwin #
- Or I suppose you could get the same effect by taping two cats, or two bits of buttered toast, together. #
- At the 1 hour mark, the no-smoking rule kicks @RichMOMB's ass. He has NO stamina. I totally felt him up, too. #MOMBcast #

- "Does Mr Blobby have a drink problem?" #MOMBcast #
- Heh. It would have made me laugh if one of us had said: "Let's NOT talk about digital comics!" at this point. #MOMBcast #
- "Let's steal back that half hour of our life where @RichMOMB & @Nixsight rambled on about nonsense!" #MOMBcast #
- @Butwin HELL YES! If you know anyone who can make it happen… in reply to Butwin #

- FOR FUCK'S SAKE, #MOMBcast Nick… Get to your point! #
- Jeez… that was almost two or three whole minutes just of me talking. My throat is sore just listening to it. #MOMBcast #
- You know, we're really only talking about Katie so much because Jade died. Don't know who'd take her place if something happened to Katie. #
- Okay, guys, now we're talking about the passage of technology as it relates to EVERYTHING. #MOMBcast #
- Guys! I think I make it clear in the podcast but I fundamentally don't agree that there'll be a point when kids don't want paper. #MOMBcast #
- I'm pretty sure that's the last mention of Twilight on #MOMBCast 10, you guys! #
- Actually, you know, I think we're making some useful points about how people interact with progress here. By we, I mean me.
#MOMBcast # - @Mykx Heh. That image makes me both smile and fear for something. You LOVE me. in reply to Mykx #
- Oh, wow… it ALL ties together! From Detective Comics to Dodgem Logic to Digital Comics! ALL THE PIECES MATTER YOU GUYS! #MOMBCast #
- I wonder if what I'm saying about the iPhone & here is insightful? Listening to it now, I'm really not sure at all. #MOMBcast #
- Totally talking a bit about Longbox here on the #MOMBcast. We don't really know enough about it, though. Dang! #MOMBcast #
- We're running out of time… it is nearly 2012! #MOMBcast! @JamesMOMB finds @RichMOMB's lack of faith disturbing. #
- Also, you guys, I apologise for the burping & flatulence talk there… I was in the toilet during that bit. Having a wee-wee. #MOMBcast #
- NO @RichMOMB, we DON'T all know that! Because we don't have a time machine! #MOMBcast #
- …Actually, @RichMOMB's point that one day comics we want will only be available in digital format is moot. There already are. #MOMBcast #
- …I can only read a LOT of comics I like digitally already. #MOMBcast #
- "Time essentially is infinite." Jesus, @JamesMOMB. "We three guys will probably be dead in the next couple of years." Fuuuck. #MOMBcast #

- @acheverton Got it in another window that isn't visible. When the zombies clear an area, it goes eerily quiet. in reply to acheverton #
- Where individual entitlement & paranoid Munchausen by proxy parenting converge, morose obnoxious NHS receptionists are born… #
- …I'm not saying that the NHS doesn't have faults & the reception job may attract a certain sort, but it's difficult not to see causality. #

- It's a bit too hypnotic upping the number of zombies, their speed, and letting them go. Like a wave of blood. #
- @McKelvie Was it hard drawing with a bottle in your hand oh my god I can't believe I made that joke I wish I would just DIE! in reply to McKelvie #
- @McKelvie Well, as long as I achieved SOMETHING.

- @ILoveMyBrick Aww… mixtape! It's lovely, that bit before your music collections are all tied up with each other. Can't do G1 them anymore. in reply to ILoveMyBrick #
- Watched Moon with G1 & friends last night. It's lighter with company, but still wonderful. Someone just posted this: http://is.gd/52G5a... #
- …The music is making my head swim & my body float. In a good way. #
- Seriously: Moon on DVD: http://is.gd/52G9A BluRay: http://is.gd/52Gce OST: http://is.gd/52GaZ. Stupid cheap, Worth every penny. #

- @SorenLorensen Yay! Try not to break anything. Or try to break EVERYTHING, & fix it up better! in reply to SorenLorensen #
- Sometimes the behaviour of others just absolutely perplexes me, it really does. Good morning, all! It's 9:30, & I'm ready for the weekend! #
- Video: Oh my! Footage from Thought Bubble’s Dance-floor on Flickr http://tumblr.com/xi547cdtj #
- @ElleSergi Oh god, don't say that. We're getting married in May, & we're not even halfway organised! in reply to ElleSergi #
- @jonronson @giagia I agree with the assertion that some people just ARE nasty, & that it isn't web anonymity that makes people that way… #
- @jonronson @giagia …I actually quite like that online interaction, espec forums expose people sometimes. Spoken word MUCH more ephemeral. #
- Visit to the ENTs was as always a mixture of indignity & futility. I need to lose weight, which I knew, but there was admonition in Dr tone. #
- …Which I totally understand, by the way, but was still a little agitating – I DIDN'T need to lose weight when they started seeing me, &… #
- …The idea that my mild comfort eating problems of the last few months, only a bit overweight, not obese, might affect my right to care… #
- …Was a bit Grr. Still, sleep observation with endoscopy might be on the cards, so it isn't ALL bad. Meep. #

- I knew that Twilight was insiduous but I didn't consider that it might actually be DANGEROUS until the conversation I just had. #
- @SamShepherd Most of the women I choose to know who love it are fairly pragmatic about the quality of it, but one friend was just RABID… in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …She's a smart girl, too. I asked her if she'd gone with a boy, & she pre-emptively hulked out at me. in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd IT HAS MADE HER DUMB AND INSANE! in reply to SamShepherd #

- @SamShepherd …On the other hand, if the films miss loads out, is it arguable that they just fail to mask the vacuous heart at it's core? in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …like how flowery prose can always make something sound more important/weighty than it is? in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd (Bear in mind the love of Twilight doesn't diminish my respect for those people. I didn't get Harry Potter, either.) in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd I can see that. It's interesting that when men revisit their teenage male selves, it's seen as something to ridicule/defend… in reply to SamShepherd #
- @SamShepherd …AT BEST! in reply to SamShepherd #
- Just had some brill news about possibility of some friends of ours moving nearby. Does anyone know of any good game-related jobs in Hants? #
- @SorenLorensen I've had to cut back. For me, cutting back is just one mug of coffee a day. in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @JamesMOMB Video. You cock-end! in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @JamesMOMB Actually, on reflection, that was probably a bit harsh. I should have called you a dink-nubbin. in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @Sulman I know… I just wanted to call @JamesMOMB a cock-end. I need to find out more about my mate's CV… in reply to Sulman #

- Well, that was a fun and ultimately worthwhile argument! (Note: No it wasn't.) #
- @katiewest Oh, hell, Katie, you do know how to make a chap feel unproductive… Are you super prolific or does it just seem that way? in reply to katiewest #

- @Mykx I saw them once a couple of tours before the end – actually Collapsed Lung's last show with Niall as lead rapper. in reply to Mykx #
- @mmetcalfe Ha! It wouldn't surprise me if that was more documentary than satire… in reply to mmetcalfe #
- @Mykx I hadn't heard of that. What is that? I hadn't heard of it? The Vileevils? I'm on it! in reply to Mykx #
- @mmetcalfe Well, I've already used my one allowed ration of the C-Bomb today, so I can't say what I think of THAT guy. in reply to mmetcalfe #
- @SorenLorensen You too, huh? Where'd you end up? in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @davidwynne That was my favourite bit of #MOMBcast #09, too. Felt a little better about #09 than #07, but not having new comics threw us… in reply to davidwynne #
- @davidwynne …I mean, I felt everybody else did ok, but I didn't really feel properly productive till the Transmet bit. #MOMBcast #
- @SorenLorensen Aha! I wasn't in town either, you understand… was visiting with a friend, but the visit ran late! in reply to SorenLorensen #
