Gratuitously Angry <em>Star Trek into Darkness</em> Exploits Women?

You know I’m seriously considering a segment called The Rabbles because there seems there’s never a shortage of Nerd Outrage. There’s always something that gets the Nerds in a tizzy. And you know as a blogger, I’m here for it! Give me fuel to blog about! Lol but as a Nerd/Geek/Dork/FanGirl/what have you and as an observer, I’m just like…why? Certain things I kind of understand the outrage but there are other things when I sit there like wait, what’s the problem here? So yeah…I might consider having “The Rabbles”. Sounds like a soap opera…*insert telenovela theme music here*  Read more...

Hollywood has Kickstarter fever

A while back I wrote about the highly successful Kickstarter campaign for the Veronica Mars movie. While I have never seen an episode of the show I can tell just by the response that the fanbase is excited and anxious to see it again. In its most basic concept I don’t have a problem with bringing back old shows if fans still want it. As a huge fan of Arrested Development I can’t wait to see the Bluths tear it up on Netflix, and then possibly a movie. However, sometimes taking a critical look at the implications of what that means is more important than my own entertainment.  Read more...

<em>Uncanny Avengers</em> address Mutant Identity Issues

Recently it was brought to my attention that there is controversy going on in the Comic Nerd World. In my short time as a Comic Nerd I have learned that this happens every once in a while. A “controversial issue” rears its head and the fanboys get up in arms and get to typing on their keyboards in forums with the fury of 10 lusty virgins during a fap session (too much?). Now I put controversial issue in quotes because for some the issue really isn’t a controversial issue.  Read more...

<em>Veronica Mars</em> movie resurrected by Kickstarter...A Good Thing?

Let me just begin with the fact that I have never seen the Veronica Mars TV show and won’t comment on the quality of the show, good or bad. I do like Kristen Bell and have enjoyed her work as well as other members of the Veronica Mars cast. This isn’t about the Veronica Mars property specifically, this is a larger issue altogether.  Read more...

Top Five Ways the Villains Win

While I lack the title that is usually bestowed upon someone for completing a long, arduous term of study on a subject (Dr. of Psychology, Professor of Literature, King of the Lollipop Guild, etc.) I, nonetheless, consider myself a specialist in certain fields. Primarily those fields consist of dangerous chemicals, and the legwork done to become a ‘specialist’ mostly consists of abusing them to dull the bitter edge of my own empty, shallow, perverse existence…  Read more...

Stupid Lamb: A <em>Twilight Saga</em> Retrospective

Occasionally, there comes a time in a person’s life where they have to do something for the sake of their passion that they never thought they would do. To work in a zoo, people with arachnophobia have to handle spiders. People who can’t stand bodily fluids, but love babies, have to bite the bullet. And people who like to write movie reviews and editorials have to watch movies they may not care for. That is why I have recently watched all of the Twilight Saga. Fair warning: This is going to be long, but read through to the end. It’s worth it. Trust me. Oh, and in case you need it:  Read more...

James Gunn and Jumping to Conclusions

A few days ago a story broke about director James Gunn (Super) and his not so tasteful comments on one of his blog entries entitled “The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With: 2nd Annual Poll Results!” You can read the cached version of the article here. Now first off the title of the blog post tells you one very important fact…this isn’t real!  Read more...

Sometimes Good Trailers Grow Up to be Bad Movies

Getting people interested in your latest movie project is probably one of the more difficult tasks there is in the movie business. However, when you have big name directors, actors, producers or already established properties your job gets easier. The ability of cutting a trailer for a movie is an art in and of itself.  Read more...

<em>Iron Man 3</em> Plot TheoryAfter watching the fantastic full trailer for Iron Man 3 I was left doing what most mega nerds like myself always do. We examine, look for clues, and try to figure out little nuggets of information. Well after close examination, I think I found a pretty good one. Take a journey with me between comic book movies and comics themselves for the answers.
We need to head all the way back to the beginning of Matt Fraction’s run of Invincible Iron Man; starting in 2008.  Read more...
