Punisher Spanked at the Box Office

As cool as some of the scenes from the new Punisher movie looked, the movie flopped at the box office this past weekend, bringing in an estimated $4 million.  To twist the knife even deeper, this opening was even worse than Howard the Duck – another Marvel property that has become a joke of the movie industry.

For those worried that this is a death knell for Marvel, keep in mind this movie is not a Marvel Studios flick, but rather release by Lionsgate, who probably shot themselves in the foot by releasing Transporter 3 last weekend.

Anyone see this?

Oh, man! College life was rough.

Way back in the closing days of the 20th century, Matthew and I attended college together. It was a grand old time, full of happiness, carefree days, and really bad jokes.

There were of course other people that we met during our college years, including one Mr. Otter. Otter has discovered the joy of Bitstrips; conjuring up a short strip based on a joke one of our old professors would throw out during class to get a laugh.

Otter would be the one with the Weird Al doo, with Matthew appearing as the sorry receiver of the joke.via Otter Disaster
