Doc's Comics and Collectibles

Here in the Bay area, there’s a mountain called Mount Diablo. It’s the result of two old fault lines squeezing up the sea floor. In fact, it’s still pushing up material from the Jurassic age. Legend says it’s where creation began and once Natives on the mountain fled attackers by disappearing into thin air. Want to save it from ruin?

Trying to look for a new video game for the shop. We have the multicade, but is it time for a pinball machine? The Star Wars pinball is pretty sweet.  Wonder if I can convince someone to do an Alcatraz pinball machine…

From one collector, to another, if you haven’t visited Profiles in History, drop everything and do that now. They’re doing a Captain America auction in April. Counting down the days.

Just finished Gates of Gotham. Catching up on a lot of comics. Sort of fell behind with some new Alcatraz research, but this was a highlight:

Season ending on Starcraft. Dude. I am never going to move up the ladder. I know, I know. Real players don’t care. But still. The pride factor.

The new Spiderman can’t come soon enough. Summer is starting to look good.

The Criterion Collection spotlight is on Monster movies! Who doesn’t love that? http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/2137-monsters

Whoa, near miss!  Not that the helmet we got was my favorite, but it’s waaaaaay better than this would’ve been!

How is The Big Lebowski not the “B” of the 90’s?  I also would’ve switched Edward Scissorhands out for Ed Wood.  What do you guys think?

There you go, guys.  Proof that it’s easier to read the actual newspaper than to go online for one.

I would submit that HAL isn’t evil, just unskilled with human intelligence. Not that I’d take him over K.I.T.T.

I’d given up home for an “Arrested Development” movie and then — BAM! — they deliver and now a “Party Down” flick, too? Christmas came early this year.

And I thought I was a good artist. Compared to Riusuke Fukahori, I might as well draw everything in crayon.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I know the attack on Endor didn’t go so well, and he wasted, what I can only imagine to be, billions of the Empires dollars on two death stars, but having to settle for commercial work? That’s just sad!

Although I don’t quite care for his forced platform of dental hygiene, I can’t argue with a man who wears a boot on his head and promises everyone in America a free pony.  Vermin Supreme 2012.
