Namor would never put up with this
Aquaman meets BP.

I had mentioned Edgar G. Ulmer, the Grey Eminence of Old Hollywood’s Poverty Row sector, in last week’s column, attempting to draw a thematic similarity between Ulmer’s most vivid example of low-budget film noir, 1945’s Detour, and a newly opening picture called Stuck, from the dramatist-turned-filmmaker Stuart Gordon. The cause-and-effect response here was an urge…
The conversation between Mike Gold and myself: MG: Actually, it’s probably a good thing that the numbers for Watchmen this past weekend weren’t so great. GH: Okay, why? I mean, it’s not a flop, it’ll still make its money back, even if it’s no blockbuster. MG: Exactly. If it was a blockbuster, they’d be more…

There’s only one reason for Warner Home Video to release the 1993 disaster of a film, Arizona Dream: Johnny Depp. Anything with him in it is virtually a license to print money so the movie is released this week as a part of their Archive Collection. The DVD comes with the movie and nothing else…

No less than eight women and two gay men, all friends of mine, have asked me whether or not I was going to see the Sex And The City movie. I’m lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) to be able to see Hollywood films before their release. I have seen Sex And…

I’ve had a horrible week-and frankly did not think anything could get me to give a f**K but this image is just so right on, I had to.
THIS is the single best image I’ve seen to represent this disaster.
I may be naive here… but why don’t they have other boats with hoses and empty hulls start taking away the oil?!?
This is exactly what I was thinking!
Because there was no way to collect it.
This is amusing. My friend said last week that what BP really needed to do was hire Aquaman to find a solution, and I countered that he’d probably end up covered in oil and dead.

It’d been nice if you or your “source” had actually credited where the image originated: http://www.aquamanshrine.com/2010/06/aquaman-shrine-goes-…
Christopher, give Glenn a few hours. The Aquaman Shrine gave credit to Nick Cardy for creating the original art in this image. And it only took them 11 days to do that. 😉 My guess is it will take less time for Glenn to give http://www.aquamanshrine.com credit for their contribution to this collage. Thanks for pointing out where this meme originated.

Russ-
The reason it took me (aka The Aquaman Shrine) 11 days to give Nick Cardy credit is because when I originally posted the doctored cover, I had no idea it would go viral–it was just a thing for the Shrine’s readers, most if not all of whom already knew who drew the cover.
It wasn’t until I saw that it was bouncing all over the internet–sometimes unknowingly crediting me for the artwork–that I felt the need to do that follow-up post to clue in anyone who was visiting the Shrine for the first time, which was a lot of people in the wake of it going viral.
