Me, Earl & The Dying Girl – Screening Review

Leave a comment

Me, Earl & The Dying Girl is a very touching, dramatic story filled with heartwarming realism & humor of a town, a group and collective of friends.  It is about Greg Gaines and his best friend Earl Jackson, and the days with their ill friend, Rachel, who has a bad case of cancer.  One thing you will notice from watching this movie, the characters, are familiar to you with deja vu.  It will remind you of your town, the eccentric lives of Greg and Earl, their families, and befriending Rachel, and her family.  Although not friends at first, Greg & Rachel develop a chemistry, and so does Earl too, where they become close friends.  I will end it off at that, as I do not want to ruin the movie for you, so you can enjoy the film.  It’s a well made movie, great acting, fantastic writing, and based off a legit book of the same name.  It is muy guapo.

GuapoVida, signing off!

Rafael Albuquerque – Variant Batgirl #41 Cover

The famous Batman universe series of comics, had some controversy, due to issues that some had taken offense to the variant cover for Batgirl #41.

According to those taking offense at the variant cover, shown above, it was claimed that it was subjugating rape culture or gender violence, or some other new age feminist protest variant phrases.

I do not really agree with the sentiment of those offended and feel it is a reach but I do feel cover is creepy and should be more for grown folks into comic books.

I honestly feel that it is a great cover, and looks fantastic, such a wonderful piece of art, and such a waste.

It truly captures the darkness of the Gotham criminal and insane, the appeal of the Joker, and the scariness of being in dangerous elements when fighting crime (being a hero is not easy).

Joker may well be violent, sociopathic, and murderous, but he is not a rapist, and the cover simply captures an intense moment of crime fighting for Batgirl.

In neighborhood phrases, I think it sucks, and is a bloodclat waste, especially for a great cover like this, but I digress.

The Batgirl #41 is an awesome cover and worthy piece of art.

On another note, just because someone does not agree with the Batgirl #41 variant cover, it’s no reason to go off on them like that, as I heard there may have been threats towards those disagreed.

However, if it is an exaggeration, much like how I feel regarding their claims of the Batgirl #41 variant cover original, then obviously it should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

Here are some other covers from the artist Rafael Albuquerque for the DC universe…

Prhyme (Changster Psychedelic Funk Remix)

http://youtu.be/BNb1tQXqRjI

Vancouver BC Canada – Changster DJ drops the melodious and tremendous epic, the song known as “Prhyme Psychelic Funk Remix” and is a remix of the Royce Da 5’9 and DJ Premier song “Prhyme”. Even as a standalone instrumental, the sound is cinematic and full, free, with a structure that seems to draw inspiration from reggae, psychedelic rock, and hip hop. It is a refreshing take on the art of hip hop music, focusing on the tradition of being original and not a biter, and expanding the art while remaining pleasurable for the melody and boom bap. Bridging the gaps with various styles, the mixture is a dynamite recipe of gumbo.

“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe…” Lao Tzu
