To paraphrase the Man, “Whether you like it, or you hate it, learn to love it, ‘cuz it’s the best thing going today.” I really didn’t see myself doing another comic book post so soon after the last one. I was intending to write my thoughts on why I think the FCC really needs to completely…
I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to watch a Disney movie again without wishing the soundtrack was done by this guy. @toddyrockstar and @shoshanabean you are officially my heroes. I wonder how much I’d have to pay them to remix Under the Sea to Color me Badd. And clearly the soundtrack to Frozen should have been…
Ok, I’m going to stop making fun of Johnny Depp. I owe him an apology. See, I never realized the power of blogging. I didn’t know that if I didn’t like a celebrity, all I had to really do was point out that he was a really bad actor and not really as hot as people…
Not everything I say can be me ranting about ridiculous racist advertising or sexist prom dress rules. Sometimes I want to talk about something fun. And so… the Academy Awards. I’m weird. I love the Oscars. I always have. People argue with me about how it’s a meaningless self-congratulatory Hollywood circle jerk. And they’re right. It…
I’ve gotten so caught up in blogging about politics and racism and sexism and stuff lately that I haven’t been remember to talk about silly geeky comic book stuff. Clearly I need to fix that. So the big news I’ve been seeing people rave about is the “reports” that Marvel and Sony have reached a…
Oh great and powerful internet, I need help with something… I had a random idea for a lesson on visual close reading in my class next semester and I need to put together a bunch of movie posters in in a powerpoint to do it. So, question for everyone. What are your favorite movie posters.…
I remember a few years ago when Tobey Maguire Spider-man movies were coming out and Marvel had just started Phase 1 of their Avengers film series, Howard Stern made a comment that ALL movies and TV shows should have superheroes in them. He said it didn’t matter what it was… you’ve got a police procedural going…
Ok, you know that movie where there’s a teenager who knows that the only way to be a real man is to have sex, so he decides that this is the year he’s going to lose his virginity and he spends like the next 90 minutes getting into all kinds of crazy hijinks in the hopes of…
If you hadn’t picked up on it now, I’m kind of a comic book geek. I LOVE superhero movies. I really do. What you might not also know is that I also love Ben Affleck. There are many Ben Afflecks in Hollywood. There’s the Ben Affleck that everyone thinks is awesome who makes amazing films like Good…
So this morning, Paramount tweeted out their new Ninja Turtle movie poster and then after they got some flack, immediately pulled down the tweet and recalled the poster. Ok, three guesses… without reading anything else first (from this blog or elsewhere on the internets), what is wrong with this movie poster? (You can click on…
This is going to be one of those movies I go to and there’s a theater full of white folk afraid to laugh, isn’t it? Also, I’ll go see Dennis Haysbert in anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwJhmqLU0so
So during my rant the other day on why I think Falcon SHOULDN’T become Captain America, I had a sidebar tangent about Truth: Red, White & Black, a brilliant graphic novel wherein Captain America finds out that in order to refine the Super Soldier Serum, the US Military experimented on 300 expendable black soldiers because, you…
Originally I was going to say that Comicbook.com was making a story out of nothing here, but they really aren’t. Kevin Feige refuses to move Captain America 3’s release date to not conflict with Batman vs. Superman on the same day… uh… right… why should he? Feige’s response is perfect too, but it’s also very…
Queen Elsa, by lapizypincel Now, lets see if grown-ups start singing this around the clock like kids do. (I’ll be completely honest, I hadn’t bothered to watch the movie til I saw this video and this finally got me to get around to seeing it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYsrV3zGd0c
Max and I decided to spend the afternoon at the movies seeing the new Transformers movie. The clock says it was 3 hours, and yet somehow it was 12 hours of my life I will never get back. I hate to wish death on anyone, but really… for the good of humanity I think we…
