080. What Kind of Movie is That?

I'd like to start this blog post with the standard, "When the Gentleman came to me about writing this month's guest writer comic...," except technically, they didn't come to me. Ultimately, James had mentioned to me that they were going to start doing guest writers and eventually they would call on me. This is something I began to agonize about, as I feared I wouldn't be able to come up with something that would be funny. Then, an idea came to me, and I began writing the comic myself so I would be prepared when they did ask me.

Without giving too much away, this strip derives from an actual real-life experience, which happened twice. A few weekends back, I saw two seperate movies. Both times the same trailer played, and both times I'd notice the same thing. At a certain pivotal point in the trailer, the crowd had the same reaction both times. Like I said, I don't want to give too much away about the strip, in case you're reading this first. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this.

063. Shaymalaned Pt. 2

Well, Nick should be writing this, but he slacked, so I'll be writing it today. When I told him what I wanted to do for the last strip, he wanted to do his own twist, so I said "let's just make this a two-parter of sorts."

While my take was on classic elementary-school riddles, he felt showing that the AirBender was actually Yu-Gi-Yo would be an insane twist and would blow up the villians head.

The best thing I read about this movie was a critic stating "I hope this is the Last Airbender."

I think this is the part where Nick would say Hallaulah Holla Back or something.

062. Shyamalaned Pt. 1

M. Night Shaymalan first impressed me with the Sixth Sense, and even Unbreakable. I felt his twists really made his movies interesting. But, if you have seen the last of his five of his movies, the twists have become lamer and sillier.

With his release of Avatar the Last Airbender, I'm assuming there won't be too many usual twists, but today's comic shows what it would be like if he tried using some old twists from childhood joke riddles.

Next week, Nick will do his take on it, so this will be the first of two.

I hope you enjoy.
