    Pop Culture Vulture: My Li’l Kick-Ass Review

    April 18th, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 19 Comments

    I wanted to like Kick-Ass.
    I like hyperviolence. I like irony. I like post-modern sensibilities. I like satire. I like comic books. I like Matthew Vaughn. I like themes. I like statements. I like chicks who kick ass.

    In Defense Of Transmedia

    February 23rd, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 46 Comments
