Logan Copyright 2017 20th Century Fox

Like any loyal X-Men fan, I made my way to the theater to watch Logan during its opening weekend last night. Before the screening, I had been watching reviews that mentioned the film's "R" rating and how it traded its wide audience in exchange …

Buck the System Imagery

Tantz_Aerine at March 4, 2017, midnight




So I suppose it is no secret I like activism, standing up for a cause and giving it your all no matter what. From my comics to my actual life I have been doing so.

But what about the imagery that gets such a thing across to an audience in …

Them's the rules, bub.

HyenaHell at March 3, 2017, midnight



Well last week we had chaos and disruption, so reckon it's high time we reestablished some order around here. And to do that ya need rules, right?

Bill Paxton, 1955-2017

Bill Paxton was a regular presence in my prime movie-loving years. As the punk in The Terminator, the Marine having a meltdown in Aliens ("no way, mian!"), and the nasty older brother in Weird Science, he could be tough, scary, AND funny. He was always memorable, even …

Show Us Where You Live

kawaiidaigakusei at Feb. 27, 2017, midnight



In a recent forum topic discussion, moizmad invited everyone on the forums to share a photograph of home. This has opened up interesting topic of discussion in that Drunk Duck has a pretty diverse international user base (at least in the English speaking countries). It amazes me how randomly some …

When the Hero Fails

Tantz_Aerine at Feb. 25, 2017, midnight




Failure is the stepping stone to success. That’s what I teach my students and my clients, and it is true, right up there with “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”: If you learn why you failed, you won’t fail again the same way- and that brings you closer to …

MARDI GRAS ATE MY HOMEWORK

HyenaHell at Feb. 23, 2017, midnight



Unless you live in one of a handful of places scattered across the globe, either still sucking on the dregs of medieval Catholicism or entrenched in the aftermath of colonialism, Carnival probably means jack shit to you. Or maybe it does, but it's likely not an entity in and of …

LISTEN!

Myths and legends are often recycled and reused, but why would you adapt them to the modern day? This idea came to us from Tantz Aerine and her great news posts on the last two Saturdays. Read those if you want a good perspective on the idea! Ptface, Tantz, …

Adapting Myth to Modernity (part 2)

Tantz_Aerine at Feb. 18, 2017, midnight



So last week I’d started talking about the reincarnation upon reincarnation of myth and legend into modern sequential and narrative art- and got some pretty insightful comments on why it persists for millennia (it is said that Euripides adapted the legend of Medea himself in order to make it more …
