The Twitter Report's feed this morning included more of the standard "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" shout-outs that have become mainstays over the last week. Renée French had a great time watching Jason Statham in a beret, though, and we can only assume that means "The Expendables" was a transformative experience for her.
On the other side of the world, comics-maker and journalist Ted Rall updated his account from Afghanistan. You can keep up with what he's doing on his account, which is linked to below along with thoughts on what to do if a wizard curses your toilet, what Chris Burnham thinks of the Ground Zero mosque controversy and why Mitch Breitweiser was dreaming about President Obama.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter Report for August 19, 2010.
@reneefrench Sheeeeeeeeeeit, Jason statham looks good in a beret.
-Renée French, Writer/Artist ("The Ticking," "Micrographica")
@mbreitweiser The other night I had a dream that President Obama gave a speech about MegaMan. I think that says a lot about my politics right now.
-Mitch Breitweiser, Artist ("Drax the Destroyer," "Captain America: The Chosen")
@TedRall Change of plans: we're in Kabul. Taliban have seized NW Afgh. Still going to Herat, but via Central Route. Remote hard times await.
-Ted Rall, Writer/Artist ("To Afghanistan and Back," "2024: A Graphic Novel")
@TheBurnham Wouldn't the mosque make the WTC memorial basically un-bombable for a Muslim terrorist? I say put a mosque next to or IN every landmark!
-Chris Burnham, Artist ("X-Men: Divided We Stand," "Nixon's Pals")
@mikechoi Looks like Scott Pilgrim is everything that Watchmen was supposed to be.
-Mike Choi, Artist ("X-Force," "X23: Target X")
@simonpegg Still reeling from #scottpilgrim this morning. I think the expression is 'Level Up'.
-Simon Pegg, Actor ("The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn," "Star Trek")
@thejillthompson a panel from The Magic Flute by P. Craig Russell. I often modeled for him. http://twitpic.com/2g2sg9
-Jill Thompson, Artist ("Beasts of Burden," "The Sandman")
Parting Wisdom for the Weekend:
@MKupperman If a wizard places a curse upon your toilet, don't be ashamed to tell the authorities. They need to know.
-Michael Kupperman, Writer/Artist ("Tales Designed to Thrizzle")
