Whilst not a qualified lawyer, I am a qualified nerd and I can confirm that DC will never ever ever (ever) lose the rights to Superman – if the Siegel/Shuster estates win their case (which – come on, they’re fighting TimeWarner!) then it just means DC will have to pay them more money to make Superman comics/films. There was some nerd wish fulfillment that they’d get the rights and they could publish their own version of Superman and Superman could do what he wanted and FUCK LOIS LANE, SHE BORING… but that’s nerd wish fulfillment. Nothing will ever change. Capitalism, you know? Corporations win.

Did you guys see the cheque that Siegel & Shuster got for creating Superman? It was, like, $138. Which is still a lot in the 1930s, but they created one of the most famous super-powered Jews since Jesus. Hang on, I think I may have misconstrued that Mel Gibson film…

I know the answer to this question already, but did nobody see Kill List? It was on a very limited release schedule over here in the UK and was probably only shown in some guy’s cupboard in Manhattan in Yankeeville, but it is easily one of my fave – if not my actual fave – films of the year.

It’ll be out on DVD in the next few weeks, so I advise everybody to go and see it. It is one of the most brutal and creepy films I have seen in years. And you have to see it twice because you will HATE it the first time.

Jokes only Brits will get! Insular humour – I loves it.
