Crap Movie Comics

Hi there, long time no see. I went to Spain and stuff. It was brilliant. But enough of that.
Just time enough to share a link – from othieves.com, entitled “Crap Movie Comics”. Basically, they take a movie and re-write it into a bite-size comic delivered by the actors (and sometimes directors) from the movie, highlighting the biggest faults, inconsistencies and fallacies – basically what made the movie crap. The result is significantly more entertaining than the movie itself, and comes with the added bonus that you don’t need to spend £10 to go to the cinema to watch it and then wish you could un-watch it.
Those of you who remember my rant about that abominable remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still starring Keanu Reeves might enjoy their far less wordy, far funnier lampoon. Although I have to say, every single review of this movie – including my own – has exactly the same opening paragraph, just slightly reworded:
Hello, I’m Keanu Reeves. I’m a wooden, emotionless alien entity without the capacity for facial expression or vocal intonation. I am also playing a character in this movie.

The funniest thing about them is that they are unbelievably, invariably accurate retellings of the movies in question. Awesome.
