There are a couple of sad obituaries in the news this morning: Actor Dudley Moore dies at 66 has word that the comic actor has succumbed to the effects of the progressive supranuclear palsy he was afflicted with. While 'Mr. Television,' Milton Berle, dead at 93. Thanks Zdim. I've been meaning to get the DVD of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World since it was recently released, and the idea of paying tribute to Uncle Miltie will no doubt spur me into action on that. Unfortunately, my favorite Dudley Moore project, the original Bedazzled, is not available on DVD. While it doesn't offer the lavish special effects (or the lavish Elizabeth Hurley) from the follow-up, the original version of the deal with the devil comedy, a collaboration with his then-partner Peter Cook, is a classic.

Welcome home, "Battle Group One," who Norfolk, VA resident Pure Evil tell us have returned home after an extended tour of duty.

Play Time: This Wrath of God Game (Flash required). Thanks Goodspeed. Peter Molyneux eat your heart out.

Story of the Day: Hollywood Redux. Thanks Mike Martinez.
Auction of the Day: Heaven's Gate Cult Leader's Van. Thanks Fletch.
Weird Science: Scientists use radiation to cure flatulence. Thanks Geoff "pull my" Finger.
Wild Science: Say what? Talk on cell phone without speaking. Thanks again Geoff Finger.
Movie of the Day: The New Spider-Man Movie Trailer. I can't recall looking forward to a movie this much in my entire life.

Hollywood will fuck it up, just like everything else they do. I used to have al the original Spdey comics from the 1960s. It was revolutionary. While other super heroes were just cardboard (no joke intended) characters, Spidey had a life. Yeah, it was a hopelessly screwed-up life, but at least half of every comic dealt with Peter Parker's personal problems. Like a super hero can't have a girlfriend, a normal job, etc.

I haven't read Spiderman since those days - I took a peek in the 1980s and it sucked.

We've had Superman, Batman, X-Men (I fucking hate X-Men), those bad Captain America movies (I loved Captain America - I used to have the originals from the 1940s). So what I want to know is, where is the best comic of all time? Where is The Fantastic Four?
