The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened? DVD review

” You begin watching this thinking there is no way in hell that a Nic Cage and Tim Burton Superman be something I want to see. By the end you are wishing they would have made it. “

” It really is interesting. The art design for this movie is off the charts and who wouldn’t want to see Nic Cage kicking the crap out of Christopher Walkin? I would pay to see that. “

Here is the first ten minutes to wet your appetite.

THE KILLING JOKE CONTROVERSY

Why is there a sunken outcry to ban one of the greatest joker stories ever told?

Good question apparently IQ’s suddenly dropped in America. The Killing Joke, a book published in 1988 by DC comics and written by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland has suddenly become a target of editorials asking for it to be banned saying the book depicts and condones rape.

We here at the House of Gozer podcast believe this is so far out of left field that we can’t take it seriously. The Killing Joke does not endorse, condone or even show rape. If you have read it and have a brain you can see that. Violence to women? Yes, I can see that, but Rape, no. If we start banning books because of violence to women or men, pets, kids, rocks to whatever we might as well give up. Rape is never shown it’s never even hinted at.

Here are Links to the Editorials in question to make your own educated decision.

Our advice: Seriously. You guys need to lighten up.
