* IGN’s Dan Philips speaks at length with Grant Morrison about Batman and Robin. And so help me god, Morrison cites Crank: High Voltage as an influence:

I went to see Crank: High Voltage when we were in Los Angeles. I had just watched that, and I thought everything else just looks like slow motion, really. I wanted to get that effect into the comics as well. To me that was just a great action film, and every action film after is going to have to try and move at that speed. I really wanted to get that into Batman and Robin.

The only way a “Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely on Batman using Crank and Twin Peaks as influences” could be purer Collins Crack is if it came with a collaborative soundtrack by David Bowie and Underworld.

* Jason Adams gets about one plot-hole into a review of Terminator Salvation before giving up and washing his hands of the whole mess. I’m sympathetic.

* Turns out it’s hella hard to blow up a planet.
