Well, I thought the narration was excellent. I think all action movies should dispense with dialogue and just have a voice-over repeating, “What the fu-u-u-u-uck…”

Studios would save a bundle on screenplays, too.

I just got a huge run of this comic in a quarter bin a few months ago. Still need to dig into it. But I know I am going to like the whole 80s coked up slant on a future corporate dystopia.

Schaumburg has its own mini-skyline…certainly not Chicago.

With that said? Had this happened 20 years ago, the mall would’ve been full. I guess a positive result from the decay of mall-life?

Is this supposed to be funny? It isn’t funny.

According to the American Automobile Association the only way to stop a bad guy with a car is a good guy with a car. The property damage would not have occurred without the Mall’s foolish and counterproductive no vehicles policy.

German for “foam castle”

I’ve had this conversation with people in the Northeast many times:

Them: Where are you from?
Me: Just outside Chicago.
Them: Like, an apartment on Michigan Avenue? Did you have a good view of the Lake?
Me: No, actually I was about forty miles from the Lake.
Them: Okay, then, you’re from Southern Illinois? Like, closer to Saint Louis?
Me: >___<

Not really.

Eigentlich nicht.

Right you are. The founders of Schaumburg IL came from Schaumburg, Niedersachsen, which was originally named Schauenburg but got corrupted over time. I just never cared to investigate, as I never thought of Schaumburg IL except as the home of the increasingly dodgy Woodfield Mall, bland faceless office buildings, and I believe they have an IKEA there or something. Besides, I think “foam castle” is funnier.

And don’t get me started on Darmstadt…

If Schaumburg doesn’t mean foam castle why is there a Medieval Times there? :wink:

Hausen is a Type of settlement. Hence Duckburg -> entenhausen by very able, though transformative, German translator for duck and mouse comics.

Jerkoff settlement isn’t much better though. I’d argue that it’s worse.
