Spinning Jonah Hex
I still think Jonah is going to be a train wreck, no matter what Josh Brolin says. Originally he told Mtv News he thought the film was awful. Well, no with a bunch of reshoots and edits, a delayed trailer, and a solid June 18 release date Brolin, who plays Hex, is changing his... »
‘Bride of Frankenstein’ comes alive in Hollywood on Saturday
‘Bride of Frankenstein’ comes alive in Hollywood on Saturday Posted using ShareThis The TMC film festival only increases my desire to live somewhere on the West Coast. I would so love to attend this (and get to see Bride of Frankenstein on the big screen? geekgasm). »
With ‘Mighty Mouse’ reboot, Paramount is here to save the franchise
With ‘Mighty Mouse’ reboot, Paramount is here to save the franchise Posted using ShareThis You know, I will see this no matter how good or bad. It’s how I roll for the MM. Though honestly, I didn’t know Mighty was a subversive take on Superman in comic book form originally (though the 80s short lived reboot... »
Movie day
It is a big day comic book fans and popcorn movie lovers. Kick Ass is officially showing at a theater near you. Reviewers’ hype for this film, along with blogs, is positive it would seem. Of course I take all reviews with a grain of salt until I see something myself and am able to... »
Awesomeness
Sometimes it is the simple things that bring me the greatest pleasure. One happens to be this teaser poster for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I cannot wait to see the movie adaptation of this great comic. Director Edgar Wright seems perfect for directing for Bryan Lee O’Malley comic book adaptation to the big... »
The waiting is the hardest part
After seeing I totally got my days mixed up in the last post I made a few corrections. How embarrassing. For some reason I thought March 18 was on a Wednesday. Oh well, it still made a good excuse for me to duck out of a meeting at 11:45 a.m. local time March 17.... »
The drums of SDCC
I know San Diego Comic-Con International has its fair share of dissenters, some of who’s opinions I value dearly. Some dissent is very legitimate. I know it is overly commercialized and saturated with outside comic book events and vendors. I know it is bursting at the seems as a result of this with swarms of... »
What I’ve been up to
The weeks have flown by without a lot of comic reading. I am probably heading to the shop this week or next to pick up my usual titles and see what new stuff I missed. In the in between time I busied myself by reading one novel, starting another, watching Lost, beginning The Wire, and... »
A great list
Just forwarding what I saw on another site – a mighty fine best of list of comics by movie reviewer Ed Howard. The list of the top sixty of the aughts is here. »
Grim and gritty
It is probably the worst time of year for me to do this, but after months of sporadic reading, I finally swept into my comic book shop for a flurry of comic book buying. I justified this spending indiscretion after purchasing most of my holiday gifts for family and still coming out slightly ahead... »
The Alcoholic
I finally got around to reading The Alcoholic by Jonathan Ames last night. What a fantastic pseudo-biographical telling of one man’s life with being himself and the insanity that follows the first drink. Between his story and artist, Dean Haspiel’s black and white sketches I found myself staying up way too late the first... »
Comic Con BOO!
So, I figured I had a little extra money to go ahead and purchase my four day pass to the 2010 San Diego Comic Con today during lunch, only to be dismayed by two developments. The first was the price. If I remember correctly, what will be two years ago (2008) the Con charged... »
