The Invisibles Vol. 2 #16: 'Brit Pop is Dead'

‘Brit Pop is Dead,’ much like the previous issue, has some great moments, but never quite gels into anything more than a tease for the end of the volume. There’s so much deception going on here, rereading it, I was left trying to remember what exactly Mason’s scheme was. So, there is some element of discovery. His stuff is the highlight of the issue, not exactly fleshing out the character, but showing more of his surface...

I've taken down my posts on The Invisibles because they're all coming out in book form. The book, Our Sentence is Up, features revised and expanded versions of each blog post, covering every issue of The Invisibles, plus an extensive interview with Morrison himself.

I need to point out that Starship Troopers is a great film, and Mason understands its end, the Nazi doctrine of Total War, exactly. You should check the movie out, it's smart and stylish, you'd like it. The DVD also has the only movie commentary you'll ever need to hear.

Nice, it's on the list. I'm working all the time now though, so I've barely had any time to watch movies. But, for a film of that caliber, I'll have to make time.
