Game play
Because I have some newly found added time in my schedule I decided to purchase a new PS3 game Wednesday night. Not much of a gamer (I got the PS3 as a big gift last year), I only saw where Uncharted 2 was released the day before because of spam mail in my inbox.... »
Mental break of the day
This is an awesome video celebrating 25 years of Return of the Jedi. »
Comics on TV
Okay, well, comics on television really aren’t comics now are they, but they seem to be all the rage on big screens and small. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, but it is always dangerous when television and film studios sink their teeth into a concept or idea and ride it for... »
Walking Dead announcement, yeah!
In what has the potential to be wickedly awesome, The Hollywood Reporter just released a story in which AMC announced they have won the rights to a Walking Dead television series. With enough of a budget (though probably not too big) I can see my favorite comic book series at the moment being translated... »
An alien prequel?
I was just going through my overnight Twitter files when I came across this little sliver of information about a new Alien movie from Jill Pantozzi, a.k.a. @nerdybird, on her blog Has Boobs, Reads Comics (yes I started reading because of the name. Shame on me right?). It appears Ridley Scott, the director of... »
Moon
Moon, starring Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey, was one of those movies whose pacing, cinematography, and sound made it beautiful to watch and left one with a sense of foreboding and isolation. Overall its an honest to goodness and smartly done reminder of a 2001: A Space Odyssey class of sci-fi drama rarely seen... »
Great video mash up
A friend shared this with me. Pretty hilarious stuff. »
Doctor Who
Doctor Who Planet of the Dead was another entertaining installment into the series, if not quite spectacular. It was a variation on a David Tennant’s Doctor trope of having the Doctor fall into a situation with an intimate group of normal folk with a dangerous alien threat emerging in their midst. The episode in... »
Torchwood Day 5 finale
The end of Torchwood: Children of Earth culminated in an emotional, gripping, and uncompromising hour of science fiction television. Day Five was a pitch perfect crescendo to the past four days blazing bitter-sweetly across the screen with a plot line that gave no quarter and threw more surprises into the mix within the first... »
Torchwood CoE Day Four
In Torchwood Children of Earth Day Four the other shoe drops in a very heavy fashion. We learn more clearly the real significance of the name of the mini-series. And the brilliance of humor and character in Day Three is brought low by episodes end. »
Tomorrow is here — Torchwood ToE, Day Three
Torchwood: Children of Earth continues to pick up steam with major revelations tonight, and new mysteries to be resolved in the last two evenings. Balanced between humor and jaw dropping plot twists issues of family and security continue to play out. »
Pop Candy reader of the day
Darn, so they aren’t all comic folks on Pop Candy this week. I guess that is forgivable. This week’s featured reader at Pop Candy is Natalie Morales from the cancelled ABC Family series, The Middleman. The show was promoted pretty heavily (along with Samari Girl by ABC Family at last years Con) I believe. (Is... »
Wednesday's pull list
As I delicately sculpt the new pull list to fit my budgets and my tastes here is this week’s as found on Comixology: Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #2 Green Lantern #44 Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter HC Wednesday Comics #3 I know there are a lot of great hero books out there, but I’ve decided to try... »
They'll make a movie outta anything
The recent announcement by Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures signing of Sam Raimi to direct a World of Warcraft adaptation made me laugh a little. I’m not saying it doesn’t have the potential to be a good movie with Raimi at the helm (definitely skeptical though), it’s just hilarious that Hollywood is jumping over... »
Favorite comic book quote of the day
This one is from Marvel. I’ve started collecting, but not read Ed Brubaker’s mini and regular series run on Captain America. I vaguely remembered this quote and had it confirmed through a few Web browses from Frank Miller’s run on Daredevil: “I’m loyal to nothing…except the Dream.” – Captain America »
