ON THE WEB: Spider-Man
This is by far the best edition of On the Web. Below you’ll find the first episode of the Japanese live action Spider-Man TV show. The opening credits are incredibly good. In fact it’s hilarious! I have two favorite parts during the show open. The first being the amazing use of freeze frames, and the

Damn you, ABC! From America’s Funniest Home Videos to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to Desperate Housewives, ABC slowly but surely took possession of my Sunday nights last season, to the point where our entire night is now structured around watching as much of those shows as we can. We eat during AHV, bathe the kids
Farewell 2005
Don’t let the door hit you… No, not really! It’s been a year of extreme ups and downs (and the downs were particularly rough), but the end result has been relatively positive. For the most part. I’m too lazy to shoot from the hip like Salomé did, and I already covered the comics side of
