A poster for a benefit concert to pay for campaign debts, showing some old hands (Hillary's?) simultaneously knitting a guitar-shaped U.S. flag and stabbing an Obama voodoo doll? Point is, a little too much going on, imo.

Its also curious that a movie news site employs a cartoonist whose cartoons don't necessarily have anything to do with movies. It doesn't bother me-- its just an observation.

You don't get the movie reference, Mystery?

Glad to have your negative opinion, as always.

You do seem like a pretty negative guy mystery.

No, I totally missed the reference. I see it now. Obviously, that makes me look foolish. Haven't seen that movie.

"Glad to have your negative opinion, as always."
"You do seem like a pretty negative guy mystery."

I'm hardly the first person to criticize one of Matson's cartoons. Mine was a mild (and misguided) criticism. Still, making a generalization about me based on my contribution to this blog is a little ridiculous.

I like the movie discussions, but I don't care about the industry inside-baseball stuff. I don't really care about the Tonys or niche film festivals. The other 90% of this blog is an Obama love-in, so if I loved Obama, I suppose the perception of me would drastically change. But I'm always civil. My minority opinions contribute to the perception.

Now you sound like an appeaser mystery, and we all know that appeasers want the terrorists to win.

Yeah, why do you hate America mystery?

Can we establish some sort of gentleman's agreement on this blog that we won't pick on each other for a typo when the original intent is abundantly clear? It seems that, just about every day, a commenter feels the need to post a second comment to correct a typo in the first, then sometimes a third to correct another typo in the second, and so on.

Join me, friends-- let's make the internet a better place to be.

Eric, you forgot the "sorry about the double post" post, where people instantly neutralize their apology by making you read an additional useless entry.

Posted by: lazarus [TypeKey Profile Page] at May 16, 2008 12:22 AM

Yeah, that's a good one to eliminate, too. This could turn into the Geneva Convention of commenting.
