Last week, we asked what spring/summer movie you were most looking forward to. Maybe it’s because it’s coming up so soon, but the majority of you picked Spiderman 3. We’ll find out soon enough if it is worth all the hype- and we’ll be sure to ask you what you thought of it after it […]
Rumor: Matt Damon to play Green Arrow in Super Max?
Slashfilm has a post up about the rumor of Matt Damon playing Green Arrow in the DC’s new superhero movie Super Max. What is Super Max, you ask? According to the description on the Wizard homepage of the movie, Super Max will involve the DC Comics hero, Green Arrow. Being falsely accused of a crime […]
Inq. of the Week: Spring/Summer Movies
Last week, we asked if you thought there was “more than meets the eye” to the new Transformers designs. Most of you thought that they looked awesome, with a strong contingent for merely pretty good and a wish that they had gone more old school with them. As I pointed out in Trailermania I last […]
Exclusive Interview with Warren Ellis about DOKTOR SLEEPLESS
If you live at all in the comics world, chances are you’re familiar with Warren Ellis. His biggest splash was in the seminal work Transmetropolitan, combining Hunter S.

Within the pages, McCloud guides the reader through a thorough understanding of […]
Inq. of the Week: And Stay Dead!
Last week’s poll asked you what you thought about men without shirts tossing elephants off cliffs. It was a close race, with ” Very good” pulling slightly ahead of “Awesome!” and those of you who didn’t like it are few and far between. Of course, this isn’t a scientific poll, probably people searching for the […]

Can't Wait for Spiderman 3
My lovely wife pointed the way to some IMDb boards (login necessary) with some killer sneak peaks at Topher Grace as Venom.
