Inq. of the Week: Watch What you Read?

March 2, 2009 by Bartoneus

This Friday is the release date for the Watchmen movie, and for me now is a good time to be thankful that the lawsuit involving the movie rights didn’t result in this date being pushed back! With that in mind I’m sure we’ll be talking about the movie a lot over the next week or two, and one big thing that I’ve heard a lot about is how many people will see this movie without ever reading or even seeing the comic book.

Captain America gets a Director

November 10, 2008 by Bartoneus

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that the First Avenger: Captain America movie now has a director, Joe Johnston.  Johnston was the director of Jumanji and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but probably most importantly one of my favorite movies The Rocketeer!  I say this is the most important because this Captain America movie is supposedly […]

Impressions: Baltimore Comic-Con 2008

September 30, 2008 by Bartoneus

I’ve been to a fair number of conventions, but this past Sunday was my first time going to a strictly comic convention and I have to say the experience was pretty extraordinary.  Several of the other conventions I’ve been to have also been in the Baltimore Convention Center, and as we walked in my first […]

Watchmen Trailer

July 17, 2008 by Bartoneus

If you haven’t heard yet, the Watchmen trailer is out!  I believe it’s showing before The Dark Knight, in which case I’ll be very excited to see it on the big screen at midnight tonight.  But do you really think you’d have to wait until then to see it, of course not!  You can check it out […]

Inq. of the Week: Summer Movies ’08

February 18, 2008 by Bartoneus

Who would have thought that in such a innuendo laden poll that Portable Hole would be the most popular choice?  Thankfully the Rod of Splendor and Holy Avenger tied at second place, but I was still very surprised that the ever vigilant Immovable Rod didn’t attract more people.  This week we’re all pretty excited after seeing the new […]

Inq. of the Week: You Review Transformers

October 22, 2007 by Bartoneus

With Dragons emerging bloodstained and well fed as the victors of our Ultimate Showdown, Dave decided to find out who you guys think is the most popular dragon.  Trogdor the Burninator came out on top, with a very well deserved second going to the gem-encrusted Smaug from The Hobbit.  There seemed to be some contention over Fin Fang […]
