Launch Veritech Fighters!

September 7, 2007 by Dave

With Transformers already out and Voltron being fast-tracked, is that the end of movie remakes of 80’s tv shows about giant robots? No, of course not: not while Robotech lies untapped. In a few years, we’ll see a Hollywood version of the classic anime turned American tv show turned book series turned RPG (or whatever […]

Inquisition of the Week: YouTube Tuesday

August 13, 2007 by Dave

Last week, with vacation on the brain, Bartoneus asked how you like to spend your vacation time. Most of you said that you would hibernate, which I suppose is cheaper than all the other options, unless you mean actually go somewhere to hibernate. Second place went to those of you who love roller coasters and […]

Got Sunshine?

August 1, 2007 by guest

All hell has apparently broken out at Critical Hits, because a food blogger is posting… I contacted Das Game last week after returning from a late opening night showing of Sunshine begging to be allowed to post my thoughts on the film and with his just and merciful hand has allowed me to do so, […]

Inq. of the Week: Comic Con

July 30, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked what you thought of a certain Boy Wizard, now that his tale has found an end. Edging out first place at the last minute are those of you who are so-so on both the books and movies. Second place were the superfans, which is pretty impressive. Over the weekend, Comic Con […]

YouTube of the Week: The Real HP Epilogue Edition

Welcome Back, Potter. Keep an eye out for a special appearance by the guy who played Jar-Jar.

Inq. of the Week: Boy Wizard?

July 23, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked who your favorite comic publisher was. Just barely inching it out at the end was Marvel Comics (who really are doing some great stuff nowadays) over top the other of the big two, DC. I’m very surprised to see other indie publishers come in third. I’d like to get more into […]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (No Book 7 Spoilers)

July 22, 2007 by The Main Event

For everyone traumatized by the recent ending of another era-defining work, The Sopranos, the anti-Sopranos ending of Harry Potter will be sure to satisfy you. It ends, and it ends definitively, and in my mind satisfactorily (though I was satisfied with The Sopranos as well). In the minds of fans, this book’s primary function is […]

Farscape to Return?

July 17, 2007 by Dave

Maybe that’s part of the reason that Stargate SG-1 folded: to get Ben Browder and Claudia Black available again. According to SciFiWire, Farscape has been picked up as a ten episode web series. To quote the article: ” SCI FI Channel will revive its popular original show Farscape as a Web-based series of short films […]
