Animation Abomination
I realize I’ve bitched and moaned a lot this year about several topics. I’ve griped about my entire childhood being remade because Hollywood is out of ideas (reference Karate Kid and Footloose), I’ve complained that studios take source material out of context for no good reason (The Losers), and I’ve even had the audacity to [...]
X Marks The Spot
We have become a country of departments. Within those departments we have units. Within those units we have factions. Does this sound confusing? It should. Welcome to the way business is done in Hollywood these days. It used to be a studio would buy the rights to a movie then hire people to shoot, star [...]
Absolutely Incredible
We’ve all seen family in-fighting. We’ve witnessed our aunts and uncles blasting each other for something personal. We’ve all seen our friends arguing politics. In most cases, once the argument dies down, both sides realize life is better off being civil and they kiss and make-up. In comic book families, however, sometimes war goes public. [...]
Spider-Man of the Hour
I’m pretty sure this is official…at least for now. But, beware, it may change any hour. Apparently the powers-powers-that-be at Disney decided now was the time to reveal the real actor playing Peter Parker. And the winner is….Andrew Garfield. Who? Andrew Garfield. If you’re disappointed about this selection, don’t worry, this may not stick either. [...]
As The Web Turns
It must be hard being the new kid. I mean, honestly, you have to get used to new things, new ideas, and new people. Some will pick on you, some will help you, but most will ignore you. Welcome, Josh Hutcherson, to the court of comic book public opinion. Who the hell is Josh Hutcherson, [...]
Jonah Is Hexed
It’s time for Hollywood to wake up. Honestly. It is time for them to realize everything that glitters is not gold. When something is shiny it doesn’t mean they have substance. Case in point: Megan Fox! A lot of critics have panned Jonah Hex. I hate to be one who piles on, but there really [...]
Jock Supporter
Were you the kid who was picked last on the playground or in gym class to play simple games, like badminton? Were you the kid who always HATED to play any sort of sport for fear you might snap a leg? Or were you the kid who knew for a fact you had no shred [...]
X Marks The Spot
I have to make a confession. I’m a little apprehensive about prequels. Yes, you can thank George Lucas for destroying all ideas of prequels for me. The Star Wars franchise took a hit with a younger crowd as Jar-Jar destroyed a mysterious world with a bunch of gibberish and made us old Star Wars nerds [...]
Don’t Forget The Little Guy
It was a great week for me. I got verbally chastised by a DC Comics fan for my suggestion of a Justice League movie, I read an article about why Bradley Cooper was rejected as Green Lantern, and I had an in-depth discussion about the state of the union as far as comic book movies [...]
Captain Europe?
Patriotism. We all have some form of it. We all have debated our points about it. Some have even gone so far as to paint their houses in red, white, and blue, place a flag on their car, or even wear a coat that looks like a flag. None of this compares, however, with Marvel’s [...]
