There are plenty of things that make me geek out, but this is one of those that makes me doubly excited!
My favorite comic book writer will be adapting one of my favorite comic book characters to the big screen!
If you’re only familiar with the phrase “Shazam!” because of the band or the music serach engine [...]

Holy Moley!
“We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives…”
In a previous entry, I referenced Rifftrax, which features former MST3K-ers Mike Nelson, Bill Corbet and Kevin Murphy. They’re doing live commentary to the infamous Ed Wood film, “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” which is widely given the title of the worst movie of all time, in Nashville, Tenn. on Thursday.
Well, even if you can’t [...]
Torgo, you are the laziest man on Mars…
Joe Williams, at our sister paper the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports that two Mystery Science Theater 3000 related projects are coming close to our area. I think I blogged about Mike and Joel’s new “riffing” ventures last fall.
Here’s the article:
“The on- and off-camera talent from “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ continue to talk back to bad [...]
Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo?
While we’re all waiting for awesomeness that will be “The Hobbit” to start filming (c’mon, Guillermo Del Toro will make Peter Jackson look like George Lucas,) those of you who are fans of “Lord of the Rings,” will get something that may or may not whet your appetite.
I read about this on “Pop Candy,” and [...]
Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows I am a wrestling fan. As a bonding experience, my father and I regularly sit down on Monday nights to watch WWE’s Raw and he and my cousins and I went in together last Sunday to watch Wrestlemania.
One of my co-workers, The Southern’s Adam Testa is also a [...]
“Ridicule is the burden of genius…”
Newsarama has a great piece here on Warner Brothers animation turning 80. This is the stuff, folks.
You can read my blog on the last installment of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection here.
She said, ‘Money is like us in time, it lies, but can’t stand up…’
I saw “Adventureland” last weekend. Let me say this first, it is absolutely nothing like “Superbad,” even though it has the same director. It’s more like “Garden State,” without being so melodramatic.
It’s a fun little flick. Most reviews I’ve seen compare it to a John Hughes movie, which is pretty accurate. The soundtrack is amazing [...]
This is why he is the King…
So, I watched the now legendary appearance by Joaquin Phoenix on “the Late Show With David Letterman” last night. It was bizarre, uncomfortable, and brilliant. Brilliant, in the sense that this is why Dave is the King of Late Night and has been since Johnny Carson handed him the reigns. Leno could never turn this [...]
There’s no business…
The Oscar nominations came out yesterday, and by all accounts, are a joke. Granted, that’s nothing new, and this year was particularly difficult because the pool was so crappy. In any case, fellow Southern reporter Codell Rodriguez and I had a spontaneous email conversation about the noms, that I decided to post here:
CODELL: I’m guessing [...]
War, huh, good God ya’ll…
I couldn’t think of a better title for this entry, really, or I would have used it.
Recently, it was announced that Quentin Tarantino’s next film, “Inglorious Basterds,” has a release date of August 21. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this movie.
I love Tarantino. If you go back and watch his stuff, [...]
