Buy it at Amazon I’ve been a comic book collector for over twenty years and I love a well-done comic book movie – but it’s rare that I buy new movies on DVD these days. I don’t have as much time for movie watching, so it’s becoming more economical for me to rent. I have [...]

They’re always finding new ways to get me, I’ll tellin’ ya. Back in September, I wrote a piece called Is Star Wars Over? in which I steadfastly maintained that I would no longer buy any prequel-era Star Wars material. I went to the bookstore recently and successfully avoided buying Order 66 and Coruscant Nights II. [...]
I’m a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and it’s descendant, Cinematic Titanic. Today, the fourth episode of Cinematic Titanic, Legacy of Blood, was released. Download it at EZTakes or order it on DVD! I’ll have a full review of the episode up next week – the timing is just terrible, with me leaving [...]
It is for me – at least for the Prequel Era stuff. Now, I’m 33 years old. I grew up on Star Wars, and thanks to the novels of the 1990′s and 2000′s, I’ve enjoyed a lot of stories set in the galaxy far, far away. In fact, there are a few novels that I [...]
How long as iTunes been around? Rhapsody? Napster? I don’t know why it took so long to get the Led Zeppelin catalog online, and I don’t care. It’s finally available! My music source of choice is usually Rhapsody, but they’re missing a couple of albums – you can’t download Led Zeppeln IV or The Song [...]
So, I’m reading Stephen Colbert’s I Am America (And So Can You!), and I had to mention this. In chapter 4, Colbert talks about various religions of the world. He sets up each section much like I set up most of my opinions here, with a graphic in the upper-left corner with text flowing around [...]
I hate reality shows. On the other hand, I love watching Food Network’s Iron Chef America. I hate competition reality shows even more. On the other hand, anything hosted by Alton Brown is automatically worth watching. What am I supposed to think about The Next Iron Chef (Sundays, 9pm/8c, Food Network)? I’m not supposed to [...]
For this discussion, I’m defining “kids television” as programming designed for toddlers: those viewers under about age five. This isn’t about the Powerpuff Girls, Jimmy Neutron or Kim Possible, it’s about The Backyardigans, Yo Gabba Gabba and The Doodlebops. Basically, I’ll be talking about shows that are aired before noon-ish; shows that are featured on [...]
A Van Halen tour with David Lee Roth as lead singer was announced last month and I can sum up my feelings about it thusly: *yawn* Does anyone still care about this band? To my mind, they’ve squandered any goodwill they might have once had with the public, and the attention they’ve been getting from [...]
