FRANK MILLER'S the spirit

Via a Warren Ellis Twitter (ahem...why you should be on and following him):

Was Miller Drunk? You Decide!

Over in my Paint-By-Twitter coverage of the Eisners (which will be bumped up to appear just below this blog), there was the suggestion that Frank Miller may have been drunk when he appeared behind the podium:

jamessime Special surprise Eisner host is drunken slurring Frank Miller. Having a hard time saying 'Spirit.' 22 minutes ago from twitterrific

graemem @jamessime Frank Miller was AWESOME. Drunk old men should always begin award ceremonies. 3 minutes ago from web in reply to jamessime

Now that there's video of it up on the 'net (which Kevin Melrose brought to my attention via his post at Blog@Newsarama), I leave it up to you. You make the call!

The All New ALL THE RAGE

Rich is a great guy. Love his column and our occasional chat. So I thought I'd plug his new vlog feature: All The Rage.

Oddly Educational: Food Fight

Trust me: I believe a bunch of people who are watching this on YouTube will spend so much time trying to figure out what food is which country that they'll end up learning some world history along the way. Kudos to Tourist Pictures' Stefan Nadelman.

SCHWAPP!!! Special: Black Adam: The Dark Age Review

***do not adjust audio until review begins***
***the music is designed to play much lower than the review***

In this installment, we take a look at one of the best mini-series of the past year, BLACK ADAM: THE DARK AGE (from DC Comics).

Schwapp Comics Review Vlog: Week 19

I'm moving my blogging presence to my own blog these days, though I have nothing but love for Shotgun Reviews and Newsarama. You'll probably see me expand my reviews to coming out several times a week now...and more random thoughts about comics, in general. I'll be doing vlogs meant for SPOUTING OFF ABOUT CRAP, as well. Sometimes they'll seem to crossover (like an upcoming rant about the ineffectiveness of the WGA's manner of striking, which I only noticed due to a WGA comic book writer's own stance on striking).

Without further hesitation, here are the two vlogs from this past weekend...

Happy Birthday...and Hello To My New Blog

Below is my Shotgun Reviews goodbye, copied in full. I'll be hosting my vlogs here and will probably let myself be even more opinionated now that no one can possibly be caught in the crossfire.

By the time any of you read this, it will be February 5th. My 33rd birthday and a bittersweet one. Why?

Because I am taking a sabbatical from Shotgun Reviews and have asked that my account at Newsarama.com be closed (which was honored by the site administrator).

Why did I resign? I'd like to think it is because I have principles, while others would probably suggest I just have a big mouth and don't know when to shut it.
