“And why is the exposed skull on fire?” is not a question one should have to ask with regards to a children’s film. All joking aside, Guillermo del Toro is a great choice to help improve Dreamworks animated features. He was all over How to Train Your Dragon and that was a genuinely enjoyable film. [...]

Apparently none of our giant-headed physicists can use their science brains to figure out what would happen were one to slip a wayward hand into the particle stream of the Large Hadron Collider. If you watch the video, their guesses range from, “I don’t know,” to “You can’t because it’s 100 meters below ground,” to [...]
This Wetworks pilot from J.J. Abrams (starring Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn) probably isn’t trying to be the next LOST <cough>FlashForward</cough>, but the connection to the geek-favorite frustration bonanza is certainly part of the potential appeal. I would be more likely to watch it if in every episode Michael Emerson gets the crap kicked out of [...]
“One Forty” (A Film By Paul Thomas Anderson)
by Joel on September 22, 2010 at 6:47 pm“I… I didn’t realize I had gotten so many followers. I’m… sorry. So sorry.” “WHAT DOES IT MATTER NOW, HARDWICK?! THEY ALL KNOW! DON’T YOU SEE, YOU BASTARD?! THEY ALL KNOW ABOUT THE SANDWICH AND WE CAN NEVER PUT THE GENIE BACK IN THE BOTTLE! IT’S OVER. IT’s all… over… [weeps]” And scene. I hate [...]
Alternate Title: Enter The Hellevator I have a new website! Read about it HERE! Sheesh! Mondays! Right? Who’s with me? They are just the worst. This comic was born of my absolute and all encompassing hatred of elevator/parking lot/lunch line small talk. I think the main reason I stopped having a real job was to avoid small [...]
You may notice the surroundings look a little different today. That’s because my 9 month plan to revamp the look of HijiNKSEnsue.com has finally been completed (mostly). Back in January I hired a designer to make the site prettier. I didn’t trust myself to do it since I tend to overthink things like drop shadows [...]
You might be saying, “But I’ve never seen the hit practical joke show Prizzanked on the BROtv network.” And you would be right to say that. Prizzanked actually airs on UPN, which stopped being on the TV some years ago. That’s part of why it’s such a good prank. I honestly believed the Spider-Man musical, [...]
Jon Rogers (co-creator of Leverage) tweeted it best: We may someday surpass MACHETE in American film. I cannot see that happening during my lifetime. The title of this comic comes from my favorite (or possibly second favorite) line in Machete. There’s not much more I can say without giving away the best parts of the [...]
Wheaton Comic Dare: Who’s On Middle Earth?
by Joel on September 10, 2010 at 1:56 amCHECK OUT MY GUEST COMIC OVER AT SOMETHING*POSTITIVE!!! And Dumbing Of Age by my friend David Willis starts TODAY! Occasionally Wil Wheaton will dare me to turn a random Tweet into a full fledged comic. Not one to back down from a challenge (nobody… calls me chicken), I have once again obliged. A little context from [...]
This comic is the result of a conversation I had with David Willis during Dallas Animefest. After seeing a veritable “sea of abs” in the anime artwork displayed around us, we decided that this should be the basis of an entire anime universe. Feel free to use the comments to expand on the narrative above [...]
