best movies of the year? i don’t see any upcoming contenders on my list. maybe quantam of solace, but i doubt it’ll be as solid as royale.
the day the earth stood still looks great, except keanu is acting really wierd and stilted and kind of off, even for keanu. and he looks [...]

so farscape season one on dvd, both the overpriced original edition, and the more reasonable but still somewhat unreasonable three piece ’starburst’ edition, are out of print. fantastic.
and it’s not even like i have the money to buy it right now, even if it WERE in print. and i can’t pirate the damn [...]

abhay vs secret invasion #1
I think a lot of people have rejected the premise on a one-word basis: “Skrulls? NO! YOU SUCK.”
But this one– look, if they’re going to make crossovers, if they’re going to have Creator Summits where they put all their brainpower behind one series, and spend some budget putting together this “event”– [...]

now there’s pop-up ads on the videos on youtube. well that’s just tremendous.
while i’m on the subject, dear marvel. i stopped caring about secret invasion this week.
first, as has been said elsewhere, this should really have been a weekly. eight issues over seven months, with only 22 pages a month? you’re [...]

i am revising my archives. i am okay with this. i want my blog, my entire blog, to be something i can point people at and say ‘read this’ and not feel ashamed at how horrible it is.
there’s a certain honesty in not changing things, that is simply not what i’m looking for. [...]

[addendum]
i just watched last nights episode, it had lots of good stuff, and locke’s last line has so much potential that i can forgive them, as long as we get some decent resolution by season’s end. which is in a few weeks? it’s either sixteen or fourteen episodes, this was episode eleven.
[/addendum]
finally got [...]

‘The Indy trailer drew cheers. Not so much the Hulk and Dark Knight.’
hulk looks too much like the first one. either don’t make cgi hulk 30 feet tall, or make him smart hulk, or make him fight iron man, thor, or fin fang foom. but i can’t get behind dumb hulk vs the [...]

iron man is the rare treat of being just as good as its trailer, and also, having had a trailer that doesn’t show ANYTHING from the second half of the movie. that never happens and it’s amazing they pulled it off on such a big release.
also, jeff bridges is creepy. who knew?
i wish [...]

reviews of spawn.com figures previews presents:
Warriors of the Zodiac — hey, baby, what’s your sign?
okay, let’s start with the basics. this line looks incredibly similar to the 7th kingdom line by the four horsemen, who designed most of the best figures out of mcfarlane for several years, then jumped ship to mattel to work [...]

i’m committing myself to the previous console generation, partly because i can’t afford all three new consoles, mostly because i can’t afford new console game prices(whereas i can absolutely afford last-gen markdown game prices), and partly because i already know the slimline pstwo, original xbox, and gamecube are potently reliable systems.
the 360 is made of [...]
