I'm going to start posting over at WordPress. Right now, most of it is reprints of my most recent posts here, but there have been a few new articles, including some commentary on the GL, Cars 2 and Cowboys & Aliens trailers.

I'll be leaving LJ open for my Friends page, but probably won't actually be posting much here.

In a word: Ew. I cannot fathom the stuff they're able to get away with nowadays on basic cable. I'm not saying it's bad, just... this seems like it really should be HBO programming so they can just get over the hump and not worry about how close to the line they can push the sex and gore ( Read more... )

Something about the spelling of that title gets under my skin. Maybe it's right and I've just been assuming it's "by" as in "drive by", but whatever. That's pretty much the worst thing I have to say about this zombie disaster pilot.

Not that I'm quite getting the level of rave that this show has gotten in advance hype, either. It was solid, but ( Read more... )

LEGO Universe is the first LEGO video game I have ever regretted purchasing.

The idea of a LEGO MMORPG sounded so... perfect. The compulsive quest-collect model of a World of Warcraft tied to the infinite customization of LEGO bricks? Yes, please ( Read more... )

Holy shit.

I had no idea that "Batman, Inc." was meant to be taken *literally*. That Bruce was going to franchise the Cowl publicly ( Read more... )

Okay, so over in Action Comics, we have the big deal with Neil Gaiman's Death of the Endless coming over from Sandman to have a pre-death chat with Lex Luthor after he apparently gets his bald head handed to him by Gorilla Grodd. Naturally, she doesn't tell him he's not going to die upfront, and his reaction is hilarious, but the more important ( Read more... )

I demand to be cremated.

So with Morrison exiting Batman & Robin and a new team not quite ready to take the reins, Paul Cornell is stepping in for a three-issue arc that sees Dick and Damian encountering a new villain while investigating the desecration/looting of the grave of one of Bruce's old girlfriends ( Read more... )

And I mean everybody, like it's the biggest bit of news that dropped this week that didn't come out of Chile. Even my morning DJs were discussing it.

Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly.

I'd known he had been cast, shot, and fired before, but hadn't realized it was five weeks into shooting ( Read more... )

So way back in the forgotten days just before Inception released, I made the following comment in a post on Snarkfest:

Which is to say that I'm excited about the premise of this movie and how trippy it looks, but I'm probably going to spend a large chunk of it trying to figure out which new faces from this movie could carry over into Nolan's ( Read more... )

5 Minutes of Young Justice.

I'm looking forward to this show, really. I'm especially jazzed that, unlike the anime-inspired Teen Titans of a few years back, this show isn't ignoring the adult heroes completely - I was completely surprised to actually see Batman in this ( Read more... )
