Support LEGO potentially creating a LEGO-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999, one of the most awesome and iconic spaceships in television history. No matter if your preference is for the more cerebral Year One… Or more dynamic Year Two, you can’t go wrong. Though most fans of Gerry […]
Marvel Studios’ upcoming Thor: Ragnarok looks to be the most intriguing release thus far, and most of the reason for it are due to idiosyncratic director Taiki Waititi. He’s the director of quirky dramedies like Eagle vs Shark and What We Do In The Shadows and if the trailer he released at ComicCon is any indicator he intends […]
Warner Bros/DC Films’ Justice League Dark has had one of the most confusing journeys in to theaters in recent memory. Originally intended as a project for Guillermo del Toro to direct, for unknown reasons those plans were abandoned, and it morphed into a cartoon (It’s worth mentioning that how the situation unfolded–minus the animation–is vaguely similar to how […]
Can Geoff Johns save the DCEU, otherwise known as the DC Extended Universe? Let’s just say I HIGHLY doubt it. And it’s worth mentioning that I speculate out of love because–while DC characters like Batman and Superman aren’t my favorites–I don’t wish them ill, either. Which is why I find the movies released so far […]
Which, if you follow Warner Bros. and DC Films is pretty much par for the course because, as big as the 67.3 percent fall for Suicide Squad was, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice performed even worse, declining 69 percent. And this is problematic because it all the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) movies so far have lacked legs, and declined precipitously in […]
For a movie who’s job was to reboot a blatantly uncontroversial movie, the 2016 reboot of Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters proved remarkably controversial. And while I’d rather not rehash the whole debate, I was reading a story from Brett White from Comicbookresources‘ Spinoff Online, where he draws a comparison between the way numerous movies are treated; commenting […]
Apparently executives at Warner Bros/DC Films don’t understand that people don’t want murky, unheroic super beings–be they heroes or in this instance, villains. I mention it because reviews have begun to come in for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and they’re not…very…good. To be fair, they’re mixed so some that aren’t as bad, such as (on […]
If you were paying attention during the second trailer for Marvel’s Doctor Strange–and it’s pretty awesome–you probably noticed that the Marvel Studios opening has changed. Here’s the original. I like it because it harkens back to the roots of Marvel Studios, which is comic books. It’s relatively simple, with great music by Brian Tyler that comes across heroic […]
Suppose someone that you though of as a friend slapped you upside the head, for no apparent reason, every time they saw you. It’s less an issue of pain–it was never enough to cause physical harm–than one of blatant disrespect. Eventually you’ll come to the point that you have two options: Either resign yourself to this daily assault on […]
When I heard all the brouhaha over Paul Feig’s reboot of Ivan Reitman’s 1984 Ghostbusters I didn’t quite understand what it was all about; beyond the obvious, such as recasting the leads as women. You see, because while I enjoyed the original movie, it didn’t make much of an impression on me. And Brendan Mertans Ghostheads didn’t […]
