Had the potential to be good. Ended up being utter crap.

I liked the first two issues, but then it became quite forgettable. Still loved the art.

I was unimpressed. Had a fun concept, but completely fell apart for me.

That's a shame it sounded interesting

He also had another famous quote in 1967 on homosexuality, "The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation."

Just two of the reasons why he was one of Canada's most loved Prime Minsters ever. A man ahead of his time who wasn't afraid to speak his true opinion.

I was thinking about Andrew's argument that the Oscars should nominate more successful movies, things that the public embraced. While I definitely don't want to see things like "Fast Five" nominated, I think you can make a case that there were several very successful movies this year that could have gotten the nod, especially over something like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Contagion
Super 8
Bridesmaids
Captain America: The First Avenger
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Rise of the Planet of the Apes

These are all movies that far exceeded expectations, did well at the box office, and got across-the-board positive reviews. I think the merits are there to say they should have been considered. Especially Super 8, which had a lot of interesting similarities to both Hugo and The Descendants, had some brilliant acting, and a very touching script that was incredibly atypical for a summer movie.

So, the board's own Afroloq interviewed me for The Last Issue podcast (which can be heard here) where I talk about what's coming up for Shadowline, what I think about digital comics and a few minutes gushing about a small indie-press company named GrayHaven comics. Please, if you listen to it, let me know what you think.
