This strip is dedicated to Tom Brazelton over at TheaterHopper.com who did his next to best in attempting to remove his thumb with a router. I'm sure if he had done his best he would be known and One-Thumb-Up Tom.

The Comic Critic Reviews Requiem for a Dream
There are films depicting the trials and tribulations of a descent into drug addiction, ending with deep soul-searching as our hero climbs up and gets on the wagon. This is not one of those films. Rather than being a joyful after-school special in which lessons are learned with tears shed and hugs given, Requiem for a Dream is more along the lines of some driver’s education films banned in the fifties for their overenthusiastic avoidance-instruction-by-example. If you enjoy watching a sad story about to become a tragedy, then this film is just perfect for you. And you will be well rewarded too. The quality of the script, acting and editing is top notch. So, why didn’t I give it an eight? Because it depressed the bejezus out of me.

The Return of Stickman #1008

The Comic Critic Reviews Two of a Kind
But first we have to get caught up on a couple of strips of....
Have you ever wondered why John Travolta needed a comeback? Or why Olivia Newton John was never seen in another big hit after “Grease” came out? It’s because there are movies out there that go beyond box office bomb. These films are more than just duds; they reek of the vile stench of the unholy. Mere association with such a film is enough to derail your career, but to be the star of such a fiasco? Oh, Mommy! Good luck to you, Mate. With any luck whatsoever, the industry and viewing public will completely forget this travesty, and your involvement with it. That is, unless some cartoonist comes along to encourage his readership to leave this dusty DVD on the shelf.
