I Heard A Rumor

I Heard A Rumor

I’ve often wondered what goes on behind closed doors at Hollywood studios. I assume decisions are made everyday. I also equally assume those decisions are closely guarded until such time as some genius in a tie decides they are ready to make it public. But what I will never wrap my brain around is why [...]

First Avenger Will Be Last

First Avenger Will Be Last

It’s been a crazy week of rumors. We have the world’s best golfer entangled in a web of hot babes (we should all be so lucky), there are reports of celebrity divorces, and there are even a few rumors bouncing around about celebrities hooking up. Of all these rumors, none of them grabbed my attention [...]

Cloudy With A Chance of Suck

Cloudy With A Chance of Suck

A critic’s job is to critique. That’s simple enough. A weatherman’s job is to forecast weather. It’s slightly more complicated, yet still pretty easy at the same time. So, what do you get when you have a critic who is acting like a weatherman? An interesting observation to say the least.
Normally it’s not accepted in [...]

Bringing The Thunder

Bringing The Thunder

I have spent several hours and used several words to worry about projects having to do with my beloved comic books. It is a rarity that I actually get excited about a project prior to its release. It’s even rarer I get excited about a project before it has even started filming.

Mind Over Mathers

Mind Over Mathers

I try to keep an open mind. I try to tell myself things aren’t as bad as they seem. I try to focus on good things. I do try. However, there are certain things you hear in life that make you cringe. For instance, anytime I see an ad for a new Jerry Bruckheimer film [...]

Seeing Red Could Be Golden

Seeing Red Could Be Golden

One positive aspect of the comic book to film projects explosion is the brief focus on comic book novels. The success of Watchmen has certainly solidified decisions to bring these types of art into the fold. It is nice to see optional titles being captured on film along with individual titles.
The latest project that has [...]

Group Therapy

Group Therapy

I remember it well. The credits were rolling and I was basking in the glow of a great film by Jon Favreau. I thought to myself THIS is how you make a comic book movie. Then, I noticed the lights never came back on. I noticed nobody left the theater. Sure enough, Robert Downey Jr. [...]

Hollywood Execs Go Green Again

Hollywood Execs Go Green Again

I’m going to do Hollywood a favor. I’m going to write a column they will absolutely love. I’m going to do for them what they do to other creators of comic books in this world. I’m going to write something without their consultation and see how they like it.
On the surface it will appear all [...]

Start From The Beginning

Start From The Beginning

As a writer I get asked a lot of questions. Some of those questions are even about writing. It’s the usual questions: Where do you come up with your ideas? How do you develop a character? Do you start with a setting first or a character? My answer depends on who I am conversing with [...]

Terry Moore Talks About New Echo Movie

Terry Moore Talks About New Echo Movie

He sounds like somebody who gets it. It was recently announced Terry Moore’s latest title Echo will be made into a movie. By all accounts this is a huge shift in popularity for Moore. If he wasn’t already known to the masses, that is about to change.
Moore himself understands what is at stake. When asked [...]
