The Gauntlet

So, everyone once in a while, a creator has to grit his teeth, and get down to the business of creating. When your buddies call up on the phone, you gotta say, "Sorry, I can't go out to eat, I gotta draw." When there's a big poker tourney the next day, and it sounds like fun, you just gotta go, Nah, I gotta draw. So, I drew and watched movies while drawing. In fact, outside of sleeping and eating, this is the first break I've taken since I got off work and did up my bills on Friday night. No contact with the outside world. No fun. No nothin'. Just comics, comics, comics.

To make matters more inhuman, my DVD player bit the dust first thing Friday night. Thankfully, I have a fat collection of VHS at my disposal. Here's the movies I've watched to date this weekend while drawing: Dumb and Dumber (Jim Carrey's never been funnier), Nurse Betty (Morgan Freeman rules!), They Live (Roddy Piper vs. Yuppy Aliens), Fargo (Pure Cohen Brilliance), Me,Myself, and Irene (more Carrey/Farrely goodness, highly underrated), and Bride of Chucky (utterly braindead fun, perfect when you're utterly braindead). I think I watched some other stuff but by brain is jell0 and I have laundry to finish.
