With the preeminence of Marvel Studios and to a lesser extent, DC Films, people can perhaps be forgiven for forgetting that Marvel and DC aren’t the only players in town. There’s Dark Horse (Time Cop) who’s rebooting Hellboy but there’s also Valiant Comics, which have been seemingly preparing to make a movie to feature films […]
For those of us who thought that the greatest problem with the DCEU (the DC Extended Universe) was Zach Snyder’s stewardship, you were right (sort of). Though to be fair, that’s like blaming the small (relatively speaking) bit of iceberg that remained above the surface for sinking the Titanic. Reason being, some executive(s) okayed Snyder’s […]
Marvel Studios has just released their production slate up to the year 2020, and it goes without saying that unlike their Distinguished Competition they did so not at a shareholder’s meeting, but at a press event dedicated for that purpose. Marvel, led my mastermind Kevin Feige, have announced a lot that will have fans of […]
I found this interview with Steven DeKnight, the showrunner for Netfilix’s upcoming series based on Marvel’s Daredevil, on Superherohype. He actually give very little away, but does say that the series takes place in the 1970’s and that Vincent D’Onofrio is a really scary Kingpin. He also mentions that things are going really well, though I suspect […]
My copy of Mark Andrew Smith’s “Sullivan’s Sluggers” arrived today, and it’s gorgeous. It’s hard-bound, and included a poster, along with a protective slipcover and my picture does not do it justice. It also feels well put together, and substantial. If you haven’t taken a look at Kickstarter, either in a long time, or ever, […]
Like most people, it disturbs me to read about some of the terrible things that we do to each other, though what grows old fast is the way that we always seem to find something to blame our problems on–as opposed to ourselves, that is. For instance, things like video games, movies, music and television […]
Remember when I wrote that Gary Ross was not coming back for “Catching Fire,” the sequel to “The Hunger Games, which he directed?” Well, that may or may not be true, as sources from Deadline illustrate. That being said, you’ll notice that they say that Ross did not “withdraw” from the franchise. Now, keep in […]
When I was growing up, I was a big listener of radio shows, like “The CBS Radio Mystery Theater” (hosted first by E.G. Marshall, followed by Tammy Grimes), “The Mysterious Traveler,” “The Green Hornet,” “Inner Sanctum,” and “Chondu, The Magician.” A show that I didn’t listen to much was “Mandrake The Magician,” though it appears […]
Anne Hoyt, one of the originators of this website, is back. She has upcoming a review of Steve McQueen’s “Shame,” starring Michael Fassbender, as well as an interview with Gary Oldman.
If anyone doesn’t remember my Seattle’s Real-Life Superheroes post from earlier this month, it revolved around self-styled superheroes, like Phoenix Jones and Red Dragon, doing what they could to keep their city safe. Once I write a piece, I tend to move on to the next thing of interest. That is, till I happened to […]
