I am so ridiculously excited for Legend of Korra! Bender-punk tech, metal benders, polar bear dog, fuck to the yes!
I’m kind of curious as to how this series got made. Certainly, fans wanted more when the original series ended. I wonder if Korra was always in the works and it’s just taken this long to bring it to life or if the live action Failbender had something to do with it. I’d hate to have to begrudgingly thank M. Night Shyamalan for helping reignite excitement for Airbender. I’d like to think that the fandom would have been there without the live action.
Not sure if this is the official name of the concept, but Kamen Rider Kick Hopper and Kamen Rider W help me explain the 180 degree rule, a concept used in film that can be adapted to comics.
I used to write songs in college that were… not the best. But it was a lot of fun. At one point, I wanted to be a proper Blues man. Though it’s been a long while since I’ve written anything, I’ve been meaning to get back to it. So I’ve decided to start a project that I’m calling Super Rider Go which will be silly Tokusatsu related songs. I was hesitant to post this, but I figure, what the hell.
This is my tribute to all the secondary Riders from the Heisei Kamen Rider era. My guitar goes horribly out of tune towards the end which is annoying. I might also rewrite some or add some or take away some or just toss it.
I’ve been waiting a long time for this week. I was under the impression that Jiro Dreams of Sushi opens tomorrow. And it does. In New York. So for all of you New York readers and sushi fans, I am completely and totally JEALOUS of you. I actually cried when I learned that it wasn’t opening this week near me. Fucking cried. I will have to wait until March 23 for Jiro to come to E Street Cinema in DC.
So. In two weeks, I will be eating sushi and seeing this movie and then going back out to eat more sushi. I’m half tempted to take the day off and just sushi around the entire city in preparation. I mean, just this short clip from the film makes my eyes roll back up into my head.
If you are a sushi fan, check out the release schedule to see when/if Jiro is opening near you.
