How James Bond iconic is this Iron Man cover?

5th of November

As for today’s cover image: Remember, Remember The 5th of November according to British Tyler Durden. V For Vendetta terrible comic book adaptation as like a straight up adaptation yet an utterly astonishing comic book movie…one of the best comic book movies.

Technically DC Films’ best movie aside from Superman II.

Kehinde Wiley Nice News

So dope to see Kehinde Wiley earning mainstream recognition. He’s one of my favourite modern painters…a phrase I shouldn’t say out loud too often. I’m classy but not that classy.

His paintings and even his techniques reference a lot of the Old Masters: if you know you know kinda thing.

A fantastic painter and here’s yet another example of just how good he is.

Y Are You Like This!

“Y” Y: The Last Man was cancelled. Though if you’ve watched this show especially after reading the excellent comics the answer is a fairly obvious: Y Not?

Lousy sci-fi, the pandemic, costly budgets, terrible writing; bloated politics, a writing agenda and an awful cast. Crash and Burn Huh Mav? The comics are outstanding and in this case stick with those. Skip the show.

The NBA 75th Anniversary Season: Remember D?

If you’re playing basketball you’re supposed to play Defense.

To paraphrase Chris Rock from 1996’s Bring The Pain: “What do you want, a cookie?! You’re “supposed to play D,” you low-expectation-having motherfucker! Man, I am tired of this shit!”
