Art Spiegelman's Jack Cole and Plastic Man

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijzNAlmblt-tLdD8cZ_IcaNhg0c-6RQrOci3dzNkyFCkakomO1ljxEmiTWLgX3x3mViy5qekWVxDDHwdM5aBTyfeoc33xJjwEyMY10BHu7woRyJEJnbznaGFFSGTuHTCMEtJLFfYo47vnc/ So I didn't mind this comic that much, but it definitely wasn't one of my favorites. The visuals interested me more than anything else; I've found during the last few weeks that I tend to enjoy the comics with less talk and more visual. I found that really odd since I absolutely love reading, but not so much reading and analyzing images at the same time. Weird, but that's how it is!

Film
Kevin Smith - Chasing Amy

http://application.denofgeek.com/images/gb/ks/amy02.jpgI've never actually had a chance to watch Chasing Amy before, which is weird because I love Kevin Smith films. He's one of my favorite American comedy directors/actors. The dialogue is always witty, fresh, and clever. Something you don't see much anymore in a lot of Hollywood films (especially "blockbusters").

Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith play one of my favorite partners on screen, "Jay and Silent Bob." They're so outrageous it's completely hilarious. I also love how Kevin Smith uses the same actors for many of his movies like Jason Mewes (of course), Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, etc.
