El Gorgo!
El Gorgo! is a super-intelligent gorilla, the world's greatest luchador, perhaps the finest living surf rock guitarist, a moderately commercially successful (but critically lauded!) historical novelist, and -- naturally -- the star of his own comic book, imaginatively entitled
El Gorgo! As you may have guessed, El Gorgo also spends much of his extremely limited free time fighting evil. In this debut issue (twenty-four pages, free and complete), he encounters the Lovecraftian horror of Dagon! Then there are dinosaur guys. And lots of exclamation points!!!

Image of the Year. From the article: "If you want to go shallow for an Image of the Year, you can't do better than
Paris Hilton, seen through the window of a Los Angeles sheriff's car, weeping as she's being hauled back to prison to complete a probation-violation sentence. But when you first notice the credit on that now infamous picture, there's a double take. The image came from the camera of
Nick Ut, whose
picture of a little girl burned by napalm, naked and running directly toward the camera and into the conscience of the American people, became perhaps the most powerful and influential vision of the Vietnam War. Not only was the Paris Hilton image taken by one of this country's most celebrated war photographers, it was taken June 8, 35 years to the day after the devastating image of 9-year-old Kim Phuc fleeing her bombed-out village. Let's put these two pictures up on the wall together for one last, end-of-the-year look, and see if something emerges."

Did I dream this movie, or...? Surreal neo-noir probably from the '70s, featuring scary Batman-style villains and brutal murder -- anybody know it?

On October 26, 1965, a sixteen-year-old girl named
Sylvia Marie Likens was reported dead to Indianapolis police. It was soon discovered that
her death was the culmination of weeks of torture at the hands of an adult caretaker and several neighborhood children; when the case went to trial, the prosecutor declared it
"the most terrible crime ever committed in the state of Indiana." In 2007, not one but two films inspired by the case make their debut:
The Girl Next Door (
trailer), based on a
fictionalized version of the events, and the docudrama
An American Crime (
trailer). One person, at least, will probably be skipping both -- the victim's sister, who says of the latter film,
"No one ever even asked us about it. It's their gain, our pain."
