Yeah, I've fallen out with a few people over it as well.
Doesn't help if you can see they're going on holidays and buying x-boxes and ipads whilst expecting strangers to pay to have their comic published.
I'm probably just jealous that I couldnt do it without fucking hating myself. Still have a slight urge to start one though and label it a BLATANT ego wank.
Raise £2000 to pay Simon Bisley or someone to draw me a 3 page Zarjaz story... for no other reason than I'd love it but arent about to pay for it myself. Even encourage him to scribble it all out in an hour as a full on "fuck you".

I'm probably just jealous that I couldnt do it without fucking hating myself. The annoying thing is that it honestly never occurred to me, it seems so fucking RUDE. I paid for both volumes of Dr WTF out of my own pocket and I INTEND to do the same with The Psychedelic Journal. I've got savings set aside for it! If I didn't have savings set aside for the print run or didn't have the money, I'd FUCKING START SAVING and use the time it took me to get some solid shit together. Or, in the kickstarter case.... just beg the general public. PPLlluuuuuuueeeze - we need to pay the artist's up front, they NEED paying. GET A PUBLISHER or get a different artist. If no-one'll have it, well then. It's everyone else's fault for not seeing the purpose of your grand vision. Fold your arms get on your high horse and sod off. Conclusion: I need some sleep I think, I'm getting testy and irrational.

To be fair as with everything like that its the idiots that spend their money on it that lets the get away with it. Lets face it the big companies have being screwin us in the arse for years with the cost of stuff. If ive got to pay extra for something and give someone some money for a jolly id rather it went direct to them.
That said i do prefer things like bandcamp which allows people to give their money direct to the artist. Bandcamp take the cost of 1 album in 10 and you can choose to give them extra if you wish.

OK this is one thats being pissing me off for a while...
Can someone please explain to me WTF was so good about David Tennants Doctor.
I mean i love doctor who old and new and i certainly enjoyed a good chunk of Tennants stuff. But the way some people go on about him you would have thought no bugger else could possibly play the role. T-shirts with the tenth doctor is my doctor and all that crap. Honestly if i was rating the doctors 1 to 11 he would be hovering round the bottom (my list does take into account the big finish audios by the way so that does change things a bit as Colin Bakers doctor in that is a million times better than the tv run he did. Mainly cos you dont have to look at that suit). But anyhow Tennants doctor was whiny, shite companions and the whole loving rose 'oh he doesnt notice me' shit with Martha, ok i liked catherine tate. but on top of that he had all of russel t davies fucking oddness as well (sucking blood through a straw anyone? no?) As I say tho its not a total i hate Tennant thing cos there were some class moments I just dont get what the fuss was.
All that said? Bernard Cribbins was fucking awesome wasnt he. He even managed to get the fucker killed....
Really trying hard not to rate the doctors in order of preference now...... May make another thread for that.
*edit* fave doctor thread made in tv section.

For me the biggest issue with Tennant's doctor is that it was a Panto performance for the last year or more with lots of running around and silly voices in place of actual acting. All it lacked was mugging to the audience.

Whats pissing me off today....
Seen lots of people on facebook and twitter doing stuff along these lines
"Yeah, America. When Hurricane Sandy hit Haiti you didnt care but now it's hitting you, you do! Pathetic."
So I'd like to call fucking bullshit on that. Firstly because empathy is all well and good but to expect anyone to care as much about things not happening to them personally is idiotic. I'm a bad example as I have zero empathy anyway but in the time I've taken to type this at least one person will have been killed in an auto accident. Should I be as upset about that as if it happened to someone I know? Of course not.
And secondly because the people writing these put downs are doing so sat at home on their laptops with a cup of tea so can get bent. Looking forward to the next snows so I can enjoy their "It took me an HOUR to get into work" complaints because obviously that's a global catastrophe worthy of everyones pity

I consider myself an independent.
With the Election over here reaching fever pitch...I'm finding myself getting really fucking pissed off with the left wing lunatics! The amount of bile and vitriol they spew and downright lies and bullshit they spread about the opposition is anathema to me. The fact that some of these people are involved in the comicbook industry makes me not want to support anything that they do again...not because of their Politics...but because of the dipshit they post. I'm an independent...some issues I skew to the right and some I skew to the left. But these people are just fuckwits...and I don't see the same extremism coming from the right.
A part of me wants Romney to win so I can type in BIG Letters 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!' on my facebook page.
Sorry. Venting.

In Hollywood...you give a treatment of your property or pitch (with an agent). the studio decides if it's worth the risk and make a decision. Doing a trailer and getting turned down by the studio, pitching and getting turned down again and again means that their not going to do it....So stop the Kickstarter. You're only pocketing the money.

Really annoying one - a writer sent me a script yesterday and said
"It's a bit wordy in the middle, there are a few spelling mistakes and I'm not happy with the ending"
WHY DID YOU FUCKING SEND IT TO ME THEN?!?

The fact someone in work said they were going to Subways lunchtime (good thing) offered to get me one while they were there (good thing) then spent 20 minutes chatting in fucking reception when they got back so it was stone cold (bad thing).
hammer - face = good thing
