Destroy All Movies!!! Back in stock, but not for long.
When I first heard about Fantagraphics’ Destroy All Movies The Complete Guide To Punks On Film I immediately knew this book was for me. Being a “punk” myself and a huge cult film nerd how could I not be excited. Destroy All Movies is an informative, hilarious and impossibly complete guide to every appearance of [...]

Trailer Trash: Green Lantern
The official trailer for 2011′s Green Lantern movie was revealed earlier today and, well… um… Kilowog, Sinestro and Abin Sur look good. Let’s take a peek, shall we? CGI suit, huh?

Bad News Ayers
>Sigh< The saddest day of the year is upon me, friends. Baseball has ended its regular season, and alas, speaking of geeky pursuits, all ten of my fantasy baseball teams’ seasons have come to an end. Though I am now basking in 1st place grandeur in four of those ten, and have achieved my goal [...]
The Bane of My Existence
Well, at least my existence as buyer for Forbidden Planet: my monthly Previews catalog, due tomorrow. 550 pages (give or take, with Marvel Previews included) of pure Hell. Nothing on this Earth vexes me so. If I never read the term “True Believer” in a comic solicitation again I’ll be a happy man, but there’s [...]

Today in “What Does This Remind You Of?”
For your consideration: Brian Austin Green as Metallo on Smallville. Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2. Heh. Well, this is awkward. No, not that the fact that the former 90210 alum is sticking close to something that he previously did on Sarah Conner Chronicles BUT the fact that he looks so much like [...]
