Star Trek - Some spoilers
Saw it today with my wife....and wow, was I impressed. Finally, the Star Trek franchise will be a moneymaker again. Great casting, and a great meeting point between sci-fi of today and the TV show of the 60's. A very simple and good way of explaining this new status quo is given that keeps the previous Trek continuity in place ( Read more... ) -
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Saw it last night, and really enjoyed it. No, it won't win any Academy Awards, but it was a fun way to spend my Friday night. They didn't bastardize the comic storylines too much, and in the end it fits in rather well with X-Men and X2. Only thing that bugged me was Victor's characterization....but only in wondering how the hell we reconcile Liev ( Read more... ) -
Hell Hath Frozen Over
How things have changed....back in 2003-2004, I was a diehard DC guy. Infinite Crisis was my drug of choice, 52 impressed the hell out of me, and all was well.
Now, I like Green Lantern....and that's it.
However, I am loving Dark Reign at Marvel. My new favorite series? Dark Avengers.
How the hell did this happen??? Ah, Didio, you've let me down -
The Viewing Public are a bunch of sheep
I can't beleive the popularity that so-called 'reality shows' get, in particular Survivor and American Idol (which, I'm sorry, they're as scripted as any other TV show ( Read more... ) -
Netbooks
I went with my sister to help her buy a new computer, since her old one died. We ended up getting a Netbook, which is basically a 10" laptop with no DVD drive. I'm setting it up for her tonight...if this thing works the way they say it will, I'm gonna want to get one. -
Coolest name ever!
As some of you know, I work for a Bank that deals primarily with First Nations/Indian bands. I got a fax today from one of those clients.
His last name is Wolverine.
Coolest. Last. Name. Ever. -
Who Watches The Watchmen? Well, I did!
I loved it. I cannot beleive the amount of detail Zack Snyder crammed into this movie from the comic book. The costumes, acting, action, everything was amazing. Jeffey Dean Morgan WAS the Comedian...and Rorshach? Wow. I absolutely loved it. Is it better than the comic? I hate comparing books to movies, as they tend to be in categories of their own ( Read more... ) -
Not as bad as I had heard...
I finally saw Punisher: War Zone last night. Ray Stevenson as the Punisher was pretty damn impressive, enough for me to forget about Tom Jane's run at the character. This was what I expected from the Punisher: lots of guns, lots of graphic killing, lots of dark New York city streets and lots of dead mob guys. The opening scene was a good helping of ( Read more... ) -
This is the coolest thing EVER...
I was reading Rich Johnston's 'Lying In The Gutters' on ComicBookResources.com, and in this last week's column it was mentioned that writer Warren Ellis has lost a pile of scripts when his computer and backup crashed. Rich playfully adminished Warren that he should have used Google Docs. I had never heard of Google Docs, so I checked it out ( Read more... )
