IF  ‘THE AVENGERS’ WERE 10 TIMES MANLIER

The Avengers are Earth’s mightiest heroes: a viking god, a bipolar nerd, an alcoholic weapons dealer and the living symbol of a country that has to borrow numbers from China in order to measure its obesity rate. This month, Man Comics is retelling the Avengers’ incredible origin story — a tale so filled with virility that it would be impolite to start reading it without warning your woman’s entry points.

CHRISTIANS VS. TEA PARTY ON TV’S MUST-CARRY RULE

The must-carry rules, regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, give broadcast TV stations the right to have their signals carried on the cable systems in their local markets.  

Eliminating the rules would allow cable operators to refuse to carry the signals, likely tossing off many religious, smaller independent and foreign-language stations.

Now, over a decade later, Gendel has turned back to the story of Picard and the lost civilization of Kataan with “The Outer Light” – a webcomic being released over the next few weeks that continues Picard’s story.

‘HOBBIT’ FOOTAGE FLOPS  

One industry observer next to me said afterward, “It was like seeing Live From The Met at IMAX. Kinda cold.”  Another three-time Oscar winner in attendance who has worked on innumerable classic films told me later, “I think we should let him finish it and see what it’s like then, but it seems a little like the look of a soap opera”. Still another media member thought it looked “extraordinary” but felt the high-defness of it all would deeply divide moviegoers, especially those who like the grain of film.

MORE PROOF WILL.I.AM HAS NO SENSE OF HUMOR

AL GREEN PREPARES TO TOUR

Chewing gum and wearing sunglasses, the Rev. Al Green dropped into a large white-leather chair here at his office adjacent to the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church, where he has ministered for the past 36 years.
