Can't Wait for Spiderman 3

March 15, 2007 by Bartoneus

My lovely wife pointed the way to some IMDb boards (login necessary) with some killer sneak peaks at Topher Grace as Venom.  I’ve been curious since the villains were announced what Venom in physical form would end up looking like, and it appears that now I have my first good glimpses.  The IMDb boards point […]

A Bucket of Bolts Mailbox

March 13, 2007 by Bartoneus

 Thanks to Jami over at his blog AZM for posting this one; I just couldn’t pass up posting it.  Apparently the USPS is celebrating Star Wars’ 30th anniversary by unleashing a mob of R2-D2 mailboxes, which if nothing else look pretty darn interesting. “There are 80-something postal districts around the country, most of which are getting four of the […]

Inq. of the Week: Sparta!

March 12, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week we decided to test another actor vs. self poll, between Saruman the White, Dracula, and Count Dooku.  Out of 30 votes, it looks like 40% of you chose Saruman, 40% chose Dracula, with the remaining piddly 20%  going to Dooku.  I have to agree, while some readers questioned the abilities and frailties of good old fellow Dracul, […]

"The City is Afraid of Me."

March 9, 2007 by Bartoneus

Thanks to TheMainEvent, who showed me this excellent news. Apparently in a trailer for 300 (which I’ll be seeing tonight around 8:15) there is a hidden image of some importance. The image appears at 1 minute 52 seconds (3:38 in reverse time) into the youtube uncut and extended trailer. Yep, that’s right! It’s pretty much […]

YouTube of the Week: AHHH THE BEES Edition

March 6, 2007 by Dave

Just because I was reminded of it by Christopher Lee, here are the “best” scenes from the Wicker Man remake.

Inq. of the Week: Lee vs. Lee vs. Lee

March 5, 2007 by Dave

Last week we asked who would win in a fight: the Mutant Master of Magnetism and Manipulation, or some guy in a white dress. For whatever reason, despite my masterful arguments, 75% of you said that the “quasi-god with undefinable powers” would win. But along those lines comes a new potential fight that hopefully should […]

Inq. of the Week: McKellen vs. McKellen

February 26, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s Inquisition asked what your favorite Gaming-related tv show/episode or movie was, and it looks like the majority voted for the excellent episode of Dexter’s Laboratory titled D&DD.  Good choice! This week we are asking perhaps the most important question ever asked in the history of the universe: {democracy:8}  This is probably the greatest showdown […]

JLA the movie

February 22, 2007 by Bartoneus

You all know by now that I just can’t pass up relaying comic book movie news. Found at Angry Zen Master, news that Warner Bros. has decided to hire writers for a Justice League movie and I assume DC comics will have a big part in it too. This echoes rumors recently of both Brandon […]

My Ears are Bleeding (literally)

February 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

Back at the dawn of February there was some discussion of comicbook movie adaptations, and not surprisingly he-who-should-not-be-named was…well, named.  The dark one, the spawn of satanic movie-making, Joel Schumacher.  I will refrain from repeating his name any further, as on the third time I’ve heard he springs forth from your VCR and suffocates you […]

YouTube of the Week: Two Trilogies in 30 Seconds Edition

February 20, 2007 by Dave

The user GuyWithGlasses on YouTube has a series of videos that compress your favorite movies down to 5 seconds each (give or take.) Here’s Star Wars in 5 seconds, then after the jump, the rest of the original Star Wars trilogy in 5 seconds each, then the Lord of the Rings trilogy in 5 seconds […]
