Batman and Robin and his new book, Final Crisis!
It is time to weave wonder and leave mouths agape in the wake of impenetrable accents and extraordinary ideas! It is time for YOU to return to MELTDOWN, because the Scottish swami Grant Morrison is returning to grace us with his presence and give us mere cave dwellers our first bouts of intellectual fire! Are you going to allow the microphone to be dominated with the weeping milk-tears of egg-handed fools who will simply rehash old discussions of the Talmud of Mr. Tawky Tawny or shall we look towards a brighter day to come and inquire after new scripts, songs, fashions and fabulations?
If you consider yourself a worthwhile nerd, a good geek, a fascinating fan of freak fiction, then do us a favor and start formulating your questions now so that we can extract as much information about our favorite characters and series, old and new, and even if for a moment transcend our mortal coil to a dream world of comical capes and quizzical chimpanzees. Come complete the circle and revel in the impossible.
CLIVE BARKER will hold a brief conversation with GRANT MORRISON before the signing. Copies of Mr. Morrison’s latest literary luncheons, Final Crisis HC + Batman and Robin #1, will be on sale. That same day is the release of Batman and Robin # 2. Buy one (or 3) of these 3 books and get into the event in the Meltdown Gallery.
Sadly, no outside items will be allowed due to time constrain on the talent. But don’t despair! Refreshments and music will also be provided.

Worst Innuendo Film Title Of The Year
So, I go to the movies often. I make it a point to get in a seat early enough to see the trailers. Half of the time, they are the best part of
the trip.
I remembered seeing a horror movie where the bad boyfriend from WEDDING CRASHERS (Bradley Cooper) plays a photographer who manages to capture a serial killer (played by Vinnie Jones) doing his work. It looked only mildly interesting, with a leaning towards being worse than the last horror movie Sarah Michelle Gellar did (oh look...a Buffy reference...who'd a thunk it?). I couldn't remember the name for the life of me.
Well...it played in front of THE BANK JOB this evening (great flick...REALLY great flick). Paid special attention to get the name.
It's name? CLIVE BARKER'S MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN. I shit you not.
How many guys do you think really want to walk up to the ticket counter and ask another living being (possibly a man), "could I please have two tickets to the Midnight Meat Train?"
What about a woman walking up and asking the same?
"Could I please have two tickets to the Midnight Meat Train?"
"Honey, pick me up when my shift is over and I'll give you four rides for free!"
Ponderous...just ponderous. ;)
