Appleseed Ex Machina

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Anime can be a tough nut to crack. Tightly clung to favorites are defended to a degree that can make newcomers both confused and more than a little turned off by the level of zest fanatics of a particular series will engage newbie’s with. Harsh criticism is also abundant and quick to be heaped upon [...]

I’m Excited About This Plan

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I was leafing through the latest gossip and rags at lunch and came across some good news – Harold Ramis is working on Ghost Busters 3. It’s hard to believe that after close to twenty years since we’ve seen the last installment that we would get another chance to visit the very odd and supernatural [...]

Give The Earth a Chance

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

It’s often difficult to be a Science Fiction fan. We must endure much. The disdain of our fellow man for our geekness and the outright fury of our own geekly kind for holding contrary views to their contrary views - oh yes it is quite a complicated existence. As rabid fans of all things sci-fi we [...]

Why Titan A.E. Doesn’t Suck — And You Shouldn’t, Either

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Recently I found myself defending Titan A.E. to someone in casual conversation. Why? It seems many are stuck with the notion that this movie single-handedly killed traditional (i.e. cell-type) animation. Yeah, the movie didn’t gross a ton compared to its truly massive cost, and that probably didn’t help the already-beleaguered Fox Animation studios. But A.E. [...]

Scifi Scanner reports that the sequel will consist entirely of 3D work, and io9 chimes in with a director: Joseph Kosinski, whom IMDB lists as directing a 2010 [...]

All of you lucky Dudes in the great northeast will have the opportunity to meet Jeff Dowd — the man who reportedly inspired the Coen brothers’ famous slacker, the Dude. He’s the special guest at an April 19th screening of The Big Lebowski at the Count Basie theater in Red Bank, NJ.
From the event’s MySpace [...]

Taylor Kitsch As Gambit

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

So I hear that Taylor Kitsch will be playing everyone’s favorite (or despised) Cajun — Gambit — in the new Wolverine movie. In the immortal words of Mal: “Hmpf.”
You can always recognize Gambit via his traditional garb — a long trench coat and (most of the time) a fighting staff. He can charge any solid [...]
