GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The original creators are doing a sequal series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. [link]

Only 70 years later, and the new Avatar has grown and already mastered 3 elements? Makes me wonder what happened to Aang to cause him to die in his 60s.

ETA: Interview with more information here: [link] Apparently Aang's time in the iceberg still sort of counted against his longevity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, here's your Zmayhem Nerd Moment for 2010. We've started introducing Batman: The Animated Series to Matilda and we start with the Robin tape (because, she knows and loves Robin from Teen Titans - the gateway drug to superheroes).

We watch the episode "Robin's Reckoning" which flashes back to his parents' death and their killer, Tony Zucco. When young Dick is taken into the mansion by Bruce, Dick has a briefcase with pictures of his parents, and clippings from their circus act.

Which immediately pinged me, Emmett and JZ to the Teen Titans episode (also Diniverse, remember) with Big Daddy who steals Robin's briefcase with unspecified personal belongings of great meaning to him.

Total callback. We all agreed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So they screened Scott Pilgrim yesterday at SDCC. Where the heck is P-C?

The reviews are starting to come out, and hoo-boy, there's going to be a huge chasm between critics who don't get it and those that do.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That is a truly epic not-getting-it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think it's so great when I can tell from a bad review that I'll love the movie.

Hmph. Young Justice is apparently going to be set on an alternate Earth where the Teen Titans never existed, so Robin and Kid Flash are going to be Dick and Wally. Which is disappointing. [link]

On the plus side, Peter David said on his site he'll be writing a few episodes. "I would love to tell you all about my first episode, but I’m afraid that it’s…oh, what’s the word…Secret."

I'm still looking forward to it, and it's kind of cool they're going to involve the Justice League and some additional members not on the main roster, but I'm sad we don't get Bart and Tim.

ETA: Video with some footage and talk with the producers: [link]

The hell?

Bah.

I know. Beyond the whole "Dick and Wally weren't part of Young Justice" thing, we've already seen Dick in Batman: TAS and Teen Titans and Wally in Justice League and Teen Titans (though not much for the latter.) Tim and Bart should get their turn.

Granted Tim was in B:TAS, as well, but that was a weird Tim/Jason Todd mix.

Which reminds me -- when is "Under the Red Hood" being released? It's soon, isn't it?

t edit Since I have the interwebs, I googled, and it's available on demand now, and on sale Tuesday. Hmm. May have to hit up iTunes for the on-demand thing, since I'm dealing with yet another migraine that's keeping me at home.
