attention comic book peeps

Did you like Scott Pilgrim vs the World? Watching it now and finding it utterly tedious.

I think someone here might agree...

i agree that it's unhealthy! (i might nurse strange FEELINGS for smelly super-repressed vigilante gingers. that doesn't mean i support their politics!)

watchmen is good even if you hate superheros - because most of them aren't super, and none of them are heros.

As a trade union activist I find it worrying that I find myself wondering if I might profitably employ some of his methods ...

The human fallibility of the "superheros" is the essential point of Watchmen, which is what makes it essential reading.

Should we point the Hoor towards the Ballad Of Halo Jones? Now she IS a role model.

the finger breaking? or the breaking into your only friend's house and stealing foodstuffs?

uncertain! i sort of liked it when i was 15, but never finished it - and i think i heard it was left unfinished?

The coping with the shit that life throws at you, the support of of friends and supporting them, the moral choices when push comes to shove ...

It was left unfinished; we all are.

Spider Jerusalem surely. And Oi Hoor, I like your friends, mine don't do comics.

I'm dating a vigilante ginger, but he washes. Until now had not realised it was my shameful love being expressed.

Is he a vigilante? Does he have a cape?

He's currently (I can hear frantic typing and I have been shouting abuse at over heard phone calls through the day) trying to kick one of the most tory NUS branches in the country into action on Weds and seems to be succeeding, that counts yes?

He's not allowed to wear the cape out in case he gets sucked into an engine - given he's an engine noise specialist this could actually happen.
