TUESDAY NIGHT APOCALYPSE CLUB

I was kind of non-plussed by my own efforts back at the drawing booth on Monday. So for today’s comic, I tried to do something a little more dynamic. Kind of funny how often the end of the world seems to occur in this comic…

Despite the excellent trailer with the supurb art direction, I won’t be lured by the siren’s song of The Omen. I’ll carefully protect my movie-going dollar from this abomination.

Reviews coming back say that this remake is almost a shot-by-shot reproduction of the original. Only societial tweaks like cell phones and therapy have been added to the 1976 original.

I look at the ads for The Omen and can only imagine some marketing representative at Fox balancing his pencil on the end of his nose before stumbling onto the idea of releasing a movie on "6/6/06."

"The Omen!" he stammers. "It’s perfect!"

To me, it’s a blatant money grab. Was anyone standing around saying "Gee, The Omen is a great horror movie and all, but Gregory Peck just doesn’t do it for me. They should remake it and have Liev Schreiber instead!"

You see what I mean.

That’s it for the moment. I’ll be back later in the day to talk about you know what…
