There was a certain type of film-bro who salivated over Fight Club and Pulp Fiction and those swaggering macho symbols. (My Film II final was a fantastical retelling of the life of Robert Frost. It won an award. So there.) Over the years Ive come to develop an appreciation for those silly over-the-top depictions of masculinity as a sort of camp that speaks a language I dont fully understand. I dont think thats the intent the sideway-gun guys probably didnt mean to be funny but if theyre enjoying their filmmaking in one way and Im enjoying it in mine, hey, everyones happy so whats the problem?<\/p>\n

Alas, there wasnt much pleasure to be wrung out of a similarly macho comic book this week, which adapts classic nursery rhymes into modern-day crime stories. Not even a familiar ludicrous swagger could save this outing; but fortunately, two other books this week offer a more surprising take on old tropes.<\/p>\n

Thanks as always to Phoenix for sorting through this weeks new releases!<\/p>\n
