‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ sequel is in the works
We don’t deserve a sequel to The Man From UNCLE. It was woefully under appreciated, despite featuring a staggering amount of gorgeous people, whimsy, and enjoyable action. But, fuck it, for once maybe the pop culture universe is going to pay it forward.

Weekend Open Bar: Surf The Astral With Jack Kirby’s Ethereal Form
In this post-modern world, where we doubt ourselves, our expressions, our very reality, not much is certain. At least for those of us who ascribe those wanky, somewhat debatable beliefs to Reality. But I think there’s one thing those of us who enjoy funny books and post-modernism can agree upon. One pointed, penetrating, non-perishable truth.

Maybe with a new home, my own room, and a distinct desire to create something, I’ll get beyond the “concepts generated while taking a crap-taking a drive-taking a shower” stage of my (lack of) creativity.
‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E’ Trailer: Self-Aware Super Style Espionage
By the GODS of KRYPTON! Could it be? Henry Cavill in a movie that doesn’t just have style, but also has personality? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but it may just be. It may just be this flick, Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
