Emerald Archer Comes to Smallville

September 6, 2006 by Dave

Even though I’m a huge DC comics geek, I don’t watch Smallville. I watched it during its early years, and got turned off by the “freak of the week” phoenomenon, and over the top use of Superman’s mythos (it doesn’t seem like they’ll leave anything for him to do when he actually grows up!) This […]

YouTube of the Week: 'Nuff Said Edition

August 29, 2006 by Dave

(It’s a full pilot, around 20 minutes, so beware before you start watching. And it’s a shame this isn’t way better, since it features my three favorite comedians.)

A Solid "1"

August 11, 2006 by Dave

A friend of mine has a rating system that he uses mainly for tv and movies (no, not the -90 to 90 scale that many of us here are fond of.) He rates them on a scale of 1 to 5, but not necessarily on quality. To briefly summarize as best I understand it, A […]

The Seductive Powers of the Beard

August 10, 2006 by Bartoneus

In light of the impending movie, and several videogames in development, the Star Trek franchise seems to still be going strong. A large problem continues to obstruct it from ever reaching everyone in the world, the fact that if you watch Star Trek you must be a really big dork. Certainly she seemed to think […]

Not a "Lost" Opportunity

July 27, 2006 by Dave

Yes, it was bound to happen. The hit TV show “Lost” will soon be a board game. The scary thing is, it might actually be a good game. About.com just posted a feature about it that has a description of the rules and an interview with the game’s designer.

So Foxy It Hurts

July 14, 2006 by Bartoneus

Sure, he may not have any coils named after him, but he still gets a birthday! That’s right ladies (and guys?) that stellar specimen of sheer ruggedness and “hotter-then-the-f-ing-sun-itself” good looks turns 40 today. Most famous these days for his leading role as the confused, puppy-dog-esque, and “I’m going to tell Locke what he can’t […]

Good news everyone!

June 23, 2006 by Dave

Like Family Guy before it, Futurama is returning with new episodes! Cancelled before its time (like oh so many other awesome Fox shows), Comedy Central will be making at least one complete new season. We already knew there were going to be some straight to DVD movies… but this is totally awesome news. My second […]
