All Points Bulletin: AC/DC sings the National Anthem

November 18, 2012

Hisui’s picks:

Narutaki’s picks:

  • “My way is not very sportsmanlike.”
    Or is it? In this NFL recap on ESPN, the sportscasters try to work in as my Princess Bride references and quotes as they can.
  • I Hope This Commercial Gets a Sequel
    Production I.G went all out in this promotional animation they made for Mercedes Benz. I’d definitely watch an anime about people hunting down legendary food stands in futuristic Tokyo. Also now I want ramen.
  • General’s Hospital
    This soap opera parody on The Colbert Report pretty much made my week.

The King of heroes for Narutaki:

All Points Bulletin: The Sprawl of Westeros

Narutaki’s picks:

  • Not Just Another Princess Movie
    This essay is brilliantly written and touches on every point of criticism (some warranted, most not) about Brave being predictable: “It’s a well-worn genre, the Spunky-Princess-Who-Doesn’t-Get-Married-(Or-Experience-Any-Attraction-To-Anyone)-And-Her-Mother story.”
  • Super Mario – World 9: Westeros
    Totally awesome.
  • Simple Rules for Asking Question at a Convention
    Everyone of us can get flustered when asking a question to a guest at a convention, but here is a guide to help make the experience easier for yourself and everyone else involved. I know I’m a culprit of asking about older work when a panel was highlighting a new project. 
  • OUYA May be JUST a Big Dream
    This article is really good about laying down the facts about this ambitious project. It isn’t a project that I’m personally invested in, but I’ve been following its progress and am curious about the outcome.
  • Your Surreal Superhero Moment of the Week
    Brought to you by this Golden Girls/Super Friends mash-up.

I sometimes just pick pictures that I know Narutaki will enjoy:

All Points Bulletin: Parfaits in Refrigerators

February 5, 2012

If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on an APB drop us a line via email or Twitter.

Narutaki’s picks:

  • 13 Years After Women in Refrigerators
    A collection of articles reflecting on what has happened in comics since Gail Simone’s now infamous Women in Refrigerators site. Have women characters in comics gotten anywhere since? I found the reflection on Ms. Marvel particularly amazing in just how much has happened to one character. 
  • Do You Believe in Sherlock?
    Apparently there is a movement going on and I’m just disappointed that I haven’t seen any of this in New York City! This article breaks down what’s been happening since the end of the second season of BBC’s Sherlock, warning for spoilers. Is it a brilliant viral marketing campaign or a grassroots love for the series, we may never know.
  • Visit All These Awesome Bookstores
    I know I want to! Every time I go on a trip, I’ll consult this list to see if I’ll be near any of these. Not too many in the United States unfortunately.

Hisui’s picks:

I believe!

The Veef Fires the Macross Cannon

November 22, 2011

As a fan of the Veef Show from ColectionDX I decided to leave some audio feedback on the recent review of the 2nd Macross Frontier Movie. Apparently my question was enough to spawn its own podcast where Andrew discusses the Macross stance on canon between their various iterations of the franchise. This spawns a whole podcast on the differences between the American and Japanese sci-fi franchises and what is canonical and what is not. Of course that means Star Wars Vs. Star Trek and the complex canon wars comes up as well.
