- 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. #
- @RichMOMB Well, you know, everybody's a BIT racist, aren't they? (Heh, it isn't just you. YT comments are a MESS.) in reply to RichMOMB #
- @thecraigmorris (Sunshine did that for EVERYONE. Such a shame, but worth watching every time till that point, huh?) in reply to thecraigmorris #
- @thecraigmorris (…Think you can map it to-the-second to 28 Days Later & find things going spoony at roughly the same point, mind.) in reply to thecraigmorris #
- 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 #

Another Way To Breathe: On The Disir
HEAVY SPOILERS FOR JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY 638
I was asked on my Formspring “Was that always the real origin of your Disir, or something that evolved for EXILED?”. To which I responded….
When I created the Disir back in SIEGE: LOKI and NEW MUTANTS 11, I knew the origin I gave wasn’t the…
Kieron Gillen is killing it on Journey Into Mystery. It’s process like this that’s the reason why. Inspiring.

“She went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and got undressed. The mirror misted over with condensation, and the smell of pine needles filled the air. She turned off the water, and the apartment suddenly seemed very quiet. Then she heard footsteps, and Simon’s voice through the half-open door. He said, I’ll just go downstairs for the bottle of wine. I thought you’d gone already, said Lara, and she poked her head through the crack, and he kissed her on the lips and tried to barge the door open, but she held it shut. They kissed again. See you soon, said Lara. It was odd, she still felt a little ashamed in front of him.”
This scene is one of my earliest comic memories. It was the first point at which I saw a comic character making a mistake, which meant it was probably the first time I really processed them properly as characters and human.
Spider-man has webbed up a doorway to stop a criminal escaping, but then realises that the criminal is escaping out of the window instead, and in his hurry to catch them he forgets his own webbing.
It seems gloriously ridiculous out of context, but if memory serves it was part of a pretty intense and dramatic story featuring Alex Summers (Havok).
(This was me, by the way.)
