“Ninja Ennui”
January 2010
Yes, it’s another live-action show.
Yes, we know it’s the Cartoon Network.
Shut up.
[adult swim]
Oh man, I went to Brandeis, and you’re telling me I could’ve majored in “Jah” instead of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies? If only I’d known.
Here’s another sign: it’s subtitled, even though it’s English.
Ninja Ennui is how I felt about No Country for Old Men. That dude was totally slaughtering people with an air gun and I was bored to death.
You too, Roto? My wife and kids thought something was wrong with me because I didn’t think that film was The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread: Part Two.
@andy: uh, so if deaf people want to be able to watch it, that means it’s a bad movie? (I get your point, but I’m not sure you thought before you typed.)
Panel 3 is basically all the episodes of Aeon Flux.
Speaking of bad films, can we talk about “The Curious Case of Benjamin Boring?”
Ces, I did my part to keep Sally Forth alive.
Please to excuse, but now I start my pilgrimage to Mecca. I’m covering myself if SF strips and rolling, like that one dude, the entire way….
Or simply check to see if the film is by Eric Rohmer. Ennui guaranteed.
@ffff
I didn’t mean closed captioning, which has an obvious point. I mean where the subtitles are pointless. Or, conversely, subtitles are desperately needed – who’s doing what to whom, and why should we care? – but we don’t get them.
And I liked No Country For Old Men. But I liked the book first, so … maybe something there.
Ok so I’ve only read the first two panels but already I know this is going to be one of the best comics you’ve done.
And I wasn’t disappointed. Panel 3 was so ridiculous it had me in tears.
BTW, you know that fly would probably get a Best Actor Oscar nomination.
Me and You and Everyone We Know made me imagine that Miranda July had dreads.
Was that too mean? Because I did enjoy the movie. I just couldn’t take her character seriously. I tried; I swear to God I tried…
Snowcake.
– Hollywood actors doing an “important” independent film: check
– Said actor plays a developmentally challenged character: check
– British actor pulled in to give it class: check
No deadlocks, alas. Unless you count the dread of being locked in the theatre for two hours while this terrible film assaulting you.
Note to self: after editing ones post for style, do a final proofread before submitted. Cheers, love your work.
That looks more like a woman’s buttcheek to me…
