  1. In case you haven't heard, Futurama is coming back. Click the link if you want to know about the first 4 episodes/movie. Yes, they are going the Family Guy movie route and releasing the movie, and showing it as different episodes on tv.

    I'm a huge fan of Futurama, and was pissed when it was cancelled. Belive it or not, the fans are to thank for bringing it back. After Family Guy was resurrected, there was a huge uproar from Futurama fans.

  2. HELLBOY 2 defeats two studios' plans to keep him under wraps - joins his fellow monsters at UNIVERSAL!!!

    Hey folks, Harry here... Guillermo Del Toro - just can't quit on HELLBOY 2. And yes, that is a very "Brokeback" statement. Guillermo's love for the big red guy, brought him back from the clutches of development hell.

    That HELLBOY 2 will call UNIVERSAL home is a strange story. You see - that's where HELLBOY was originally pitched. And it was ultimately Stacey Snider, who saw the project differently from Del Toro that caused Guillermo to seek the project elsewhere. Snider is now at Dreamworks - and no longer standing between Mignola's creation and the UNIVERSAL home of classic movie monsters.

    I had given up hope that I'd ever see HELLBOY fighting the tooth fairy(s) - now I know I will see that glorious scene brought to life. Now - if only Mignola will let Guillermo bring a bit of "Lobster" to the film. HINT HINT MIKE!!!

    HELLBOY is now set to showdown with THE DARK KNIGHT, IRON MAN and probably WOLVERINE in Summer 2008. Sounds like a comic fan's paradise.

    Hellboy 2 will not stand a chance if it goes up against any of those 3 movies.

  3. This one is darker, and bloodier. Cap is pissed, and recklessly puts himself in danger all the time because he feels like he shouldn't be alive anyway. We get to see Black Panther's dad, and how his death and Cap are related. I really liked the talk between Tony and Jarvis when picking out a new suit. Hank is still an ass, but is better than the first movie. Janet is useless as she isn't much of a fighter. Thor is more Godlike, and less hippy. Black Widow is completley useless again.

    As for the plot, think of the first one, but with an all out global invasion.

    There is a part at the beginning that I didn't understand. Cap throws his shield through a truck. Right through the back, and out the grill. I know his shield is unbreakable, but even Cap isn't strong enough to throw it through an engine block like a hot knife through butter. Another is at the end where Iron Man does something that almost kills him, and Thor didn't even bother to help even though he was standing there watching him. You'll know it when you see it.

  4. Sony Pictures Television is becoming the first major television studio to enter the direct-to-DVD market for series. SPT has launched Culver Entertainment, a company focused on developing and producing drama, comedy and animated series exclusively for DVD and international distribution. The first project under the Culver Entertainment banner will be a new animated Spider-Man series. The first 13 half-hour episodes of the show are expected to be released next year.

    After the world is gone, all that will be left is cockroaches and a new Spider-Man cartoon every few years.

  5. The Continuum: How hard is it to bring The Mandarin to the screen as the villain, avoiding stereotype aspects of the original character?

    Favreau: Well, that's the trick. You want to pay homage to the comics, but you want to say what The Mandarin is today. Back then, we were very paranoid about Asia, we were very paranoid about Communism. We live in a very more culturally enlightened time, now. Things that you sort of got away with then, you don't now. But there are aspects to the character that you can maintain and make him a formidable enemy.

    Part of it is that this is what the fans want to see. Everybody has written in, they all gravitate towards this guy, because he was always one step ahead. Well, we're going to keep it all tech-based. I don't want to have a magical character.

    But I am definitely paying attention to what was written. And how do you transpose that in a way were you're showing the fans you're paying attention, but you don't sell the reality of the movie out by having this magical Fu Manchu type character. What's the modern version of him? Who's that going to be and what's it going to mean?

    Read the rest here.

    Thank God. I don't like magical characters, and I was afraid they would go with the "magical Fu-Manchu". I know his rings were originally technological in nature(although alien), but he tried to use magic to make them stronger.

  6. It's fixed now. The date was wrong and threw everything for a loop. I knew it wasn't just me when I saw someone looking at the help files.

    p.s. sorry if you got a bunch of pms from me all of the sudden. I have a feeling I wasn't the only one who sent some.

  7. Fangoria reports that Alien vs. Predator sequel Alien vs. Predator: Survival of the Fittest (new title) starts shooting in Vancouver on September 23 and wraps on December 14:

    AVP's Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis of Amalgamated Dynamics, veterans of the first AVP and all the previous ALIEN sequels, will encore on the creature FX. The Shane Salerno script places the battling extraterrestrials on U.S. soil (the Midwest).

    Colin and Greg Strauss are making their feature directorial debut on the film, opening December 21, 2007.

  8. I found the show doing a search for comic book podcasts on ITunes.

    Hazah! I know a lot of people download the show directly from the site or my sig at various forums, so it's finally nice to hear that someone uses (and found it through) iTunes!

    Sometimes I just start looking for new shows on iTunes. I was looking for a comic book show, and after trying a few, found yours and kept listening. The fact that it's not just about comics, but pretty much everything I'm into is what I like best about it.

  9. I finally got around to watching Serenity. I never watched Firefly, and knew nothing about it. I now feel like I missed something really good, because the movie is awsome. My only complaints are that it seems a little short, and was predictable in a lot of places. The fight between Mal and the Operative was really predictable, and lame. The whole Operative character seemed like a standard villain. When he escaped in the pod, you knew he would end up with Mal at the end, but it just seemed forced. It was still a great movie though.
