I see there’s a new hero factory meme going around. With almost 5 years of blogging under my belt, I’m starting to feel like an elder stateman, recalling “the first time” these sorts of things were all the rage. At any rate, here’s my new superhero self: Astonishing? Really? Although the new one has catchy [...]

Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can’t savor all the… little emotions. In… you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. As seen on IO9. Order your very own at Amazon! Personally, I prefer my Spiderman ski mask when I’m out [...]

Please, please don’t let this suck. The trailer is promising, but I’ve been let down before. I care about this almost as much as I cared going in to the first X-men movie. If for some strange reason you’ve never read Watchmen by Alan Moore yet, please do so before March of next year.

J.R.R. Tolkien thought the phrase “Cellar Door” to be especially beautiful. No offense to J.R.R.

I spent most of the day in the big hall watching the parade of stars, including The X Files panel with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz (although [...]
