In Which I Ask For Your Help With This Here Lotsa Fun Project
Hey, y’all. In case you didn’t know, one of the reasons things have slowed over here is that they’ve picked up over at the NPR blog, which sounds (and feels) more like me, I think, than it did when I was first getting started. There are TV recommendations, guest appearances by lovely people (including, recently, Miss Sarah Bunting), and lots of other goodies.
But one thing we’re doing over there that ISN’T me babbling like me is the new movie poll, or movie poll series, really, with which we could use your help. We’re going to open nominations in a variety of nifty categories over the next little while, and the more input we get, the better. Commenting does require registration, but it’s really not a difficult process, and as I’ve said before, you can enter the wonderful world of NPR social media and then we can be NPR social-media friends!
Anyhoodle, please head on over today and in the coming days and participate.

It’s not hard to register–I just did it yesterday. Although I’m not myself into the comic-book mythology, I know a lot of other people are, and I enjoy everything else on there. The true crime post was hilarious. Also, is that an online book review for true crime that she speaks of? Because if it is, I would LOVE the address for the website.

Our comic-book guy is really especially good, I think. Even for people without much interest in comics (a group in which I count myself), his writing is very sharp and funny. A lot of it tends to be really good pop-culture analysis generally, not just comic analysis. And I love the Movie Blurb Game, in spite of the current comment saying, “You folks need to do better.” Hee hee. Oh, I will try, earnest commenter! I will try to do better!

We need to settle you down to read Incredibly Classic Comics, so that you will be sucked into the quicksand that is Comic-Book Appreciation. But not right this minute. (Besides, how Sucked Into It did we manage to get son Stephen or daughter Valerie? Sigh …) In the meantime, I continue to be impressed with how well informed your Comic Book Guy is.

Maybe he could do a post on Comic Books For Those Who Don’t Read Comic Books. Suggesting ones to try. Because I NEVER used to read any romance, ever, but I have tried to few Smart Bitch recommendations, and gotten hooked on at least two series.

Hey, I heard you on NPR this morning! That was a nice little segment!
