Striking terror--best part of the job
Well, Paramount has backed out of the Watchmen movie. Drag. I reckon it'll still get made, one way or another, but this is going to make the wait longer. Read the C.H.U.D. article about it here.
To me, the time seems nice 'n' ripe for Watchmen and V for Vendetta movies, what with the paranoia, and the political corruption, and the slide into fascism n'all. I know it all makes me want to dress up in a pantomime Guy Fawkes costume and blow shit up. Or maybe just walk the streets with a "the end is near" sign by day, then go out at night and throw rapists down elevator shafts. Well, maybe not so much the second one; that's the tricky part about the whole superhero thing--superheros are sort of inherently fascist. The best ones are, anyway. Ah, well--tinkerty-tonk, who's excited about Batman? (The finest of the fascist superheros. That's why we love him. Plus, the added bonus of that little whiff of sexual perversion, what with the suit and all. Don't try to tell me that ol' Bruce doesn't feel as toppy as all get out in that outfit. Lucifer knows I would.)

Dear Richard:
1. Have you read 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay'? (Highly recommended).
2. Have you read 'I, Lucifer'? (Double Highly recommended)
3. Can you show me the way to San Jose?
1)Amazing Adventures is waiting for me at the library.
2)I have I, Lucifer ordered at the library, as well, on your recomendation.
2) No, but I can show you my rash. It's lumpy in the middle, but it gets smooth at the edges...
Goodness gracious! Richard answers questions!? This is awesome. I've got some questions that are in need of answering. Are you ready? Okay. Here we go:
1) Why are people so very unkind? For example, that really nasty lady at the security desk in the lobby of my office building who acts like she's some kind of super-authority/policewoman; dismissive, haughty & dictatorial.
2) Why am I less attracted to a woman if she's talking on a cell phone?
3) Why don't those over-the-counter teeth whiteners seem to work as good as the picture on box leads you to believe?
4) Why does Arlo tell me that we'll hook up for lunch, but then he never calls?
1)A cop is a cop, and they're all azzholez. As for the unkindness of people who aren't actually cops--William Burroughs speaks of the "cop inside"
2)Are you sure its the cel phone? There are any number of women I find attractive until they open their mouths, phone or no phone.
3) Anything you see on a box is a lie. I learned this when my first Superman action figure did not actually fly.
4) Arlo is a student. School sucks, and takes us away from things we'd rather do, like have lunch with the trusty and excellent K. Cooper.
Hope that helps!

Dear Richard:
I have a fantasy where a sexy lass dresses up as a cop and 'interogates' me until I just can't stand it and 'break'. What do you think this means?
Well, that depends. If the interrogation involves a nightstick up the heiney, it means that you're not drinking enough water; try for about 8 glasses a day. If no nightstick up butt, just handcuffs and tasers and suchlike, you should pursue a career in the hospitality industry, maybe hotel management.
