We’re all mad here

By Jon Magne | Published: September 25, 2008
‘In that direction,’ the Cat said, waving its right paw round, ‘lives a Hatter: and in that direction,’ waving the other paw, ‘lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they’re both mad.’ ‘But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked. ‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here. I’m [...]

Locke & Key: “Welcome to Lovecraft” by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez

By Jon Magne | Published: September 24, 2008
This was one of the first things I bought when I decided to get into comics and it’s also one of the best. Joe Hill, the prodigal son of Stephen King, became one of my favourite writers last year when I read his chilling début novel “Heart-Shaped Box” and his fantastic short-story collection “20th Century [...]

The Incredible Hulk

By Jon Magne | Published: September 22, 2008
So I watched this movie about a giant green man with anger management issues, and I thought I should post some thoughts on it. It is, after all, the only fair thing to do. One can’t go around reviewing movies about a man who dresses up like a bat and a guy who takes the idea [...]

The Wire, Season 1

By Jon Magne | Published: September 13, 2008
This is a show I’ve been meaning to get around to for quite some time now. The first time I remember hearing about it was some three years ago when I was watching a program about “the arts” on NRK 1 (a state-funded Norwegian channel) where the host asked what TV show everyone’s been missing [...]

Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi

By Jon Magne | Published: September 8, 2008
I would not say that I stalk John Scalzi in the strictest sense of the word. I have for example never met the guy or even followed him surreptitiously down a street. Hell, the closest thing I’ve ever come to trespassing on his property is when I sling off a random comment on his monster-of-a-blog, [...]

Sic(k)

By Jon Magne | Published: September 6, 2008
Shalom, dear reader. Once again I emerge from the depths of the interhighways to give you news of great import, news with ramifications so vast and great that it will most likely raise at least one eyebrow in either awe or general amusement at this weird, yet peculiarly engrossing intro that is in dire need [...]

The Venture Bros. (Season 1-3)

By Jon Magne | Published: September 2, 2008
In addition to my regular diet of TV series and films, I can occasionally appreciate a small dosage of cartoons. I watched a whole lot of the American Cartoon Network’s regular programming when I was a toddler (part of the reason I was practically bi-lingual at the age of six), but stopped that habit when [...]
