"So, we got this musical, see? It's about gamblers and gangsters and such. I'm thinking we cast that Brando kid.""Ah, good idea boss, but, uh, you know Frank Sinatra's interested in the film too.""Oh, good point. Here's what we do; we cast Brando as the lead and give him the bulk of the singing, and … Continue reading A Brief Vignette

Matchup: D vs. D
Another matchup idea I would love to see: Oddly enough, after thinking it over, I would peg Doofenshmirtz to win hands-down. True, Drakken is a moderately more competent bad guy and more of a legitimate threat (as in, he's never been beaten by a potted plant), but Doof actually has quite a few advantages over … Continue reading Matchup: D vs. D

Match-Up: Smog vs. Thing
A fun thought experiment to follow up yesterday's review: (For our purposes, we'll posit a human-scale Hedorah) This match-up struck me about the time I was working on my 'Hedorah Appreciation' update. Two viral, nigh-indestructible aliens whose original forms are all-but unimaginable, pose an existential threat to all life on Earth, and can regenerate from … Continue reading Match-Up: Smog vs. Thing
