Movie Magick: Angelina Jolie as Squirrel Girl, Hellboy Daddy does The Hobbit.

That’s Angelina Jolie, as a member of the Fraternity of Assassins, in this summer’s Wanted. It opens on June 27th, smack dab in the middle of the greatest single season in cinema history. Since our beloved Squirrel Girl is now an assassin herself (see below), I plan on calling that sizzling Tattooed Woman [...]

Squirrel Girl > All.

You can click on that for a closer look.  It’s true, Squirrel Girl can beat ANYONE in the comic books.  I have received a couple incredulous emails, so now I present the proof.  She took down Thanos Himself!

Marvel Universe Preview: Squirrel Girl and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.

Where were you in 1992?

Did you know that Deadpool wears the Squirrel Girl underoo?

Can you imagine a more exciting day for Stu?

Yes, my dear Vs. System friends, that card is real. I am not imagining things. After four long years and 16 full expansion sets, she is finally here. Something squirrelly this way comes.
Her first [...]

Thursday Thirteen: The Meaning of Life.

That is a photograph of me getting my draft on, at the first Pro Circuit, choosing my Inmates.  Someone’s life was about to change.  Life?  What is life?
 
(I love the smell of metaphor in the morning.) 
 
1. Life is a fabulous art exhibition, and each of us creates a masterpiece for the big gallery in [...]

Happy Juno Day!

Today is the day.  Juno is released into the world on DVD.  This movie will raise the intelligence of our species just a little bit, and cause some seriously uplifting laughter along the way.  I can’t wait to cry my eyes out again tonight, for the joy of being human.
Thank you Diablo Cody, thank you [...]

Of Every Shape and Size.

It takes all kinds to build a community.  Diversity expands the potential for creativity and enriches the human experience.  When it comes to superhuman mythology, the variety factor is off the charts.  Those cards are original sketches that were randomly inserted in lucky packs of the new Marvel Masterpieces trading cards.  Thanks to Jonboy Meyers [...]

The Big Project: A Comprehensive History of Vs. System.

It took a while to get to that point.  Winning a feature match on the mothership against a $24,000 Pro Circuit Runner-Up, while flipping cards on my own face, did not happen overnight.  We built this history, as a community, card by card, brick by brick.
I propose a project.  I will catalog and coordinate the effort.  [...]

Our Madonna Bacon Number is now Two.

 
What is a Bacon Number?  Michael explains.  It is a bit clunky, that University of Virgina database thing, so maybe you should start here.  And, thanks to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show on VH1 with a live shot of Watt and Madonna together in the kitchen of the Waldorf Astoria, this needs [...]
