If you’re wandered around Tumblr since last May odds are you’ve stumbled on one of these things: Pictures of young people smoking (Stop it, stupid!), gifs from Real Housewives of the Seventh Circle of Hell, erotic drawing of things you wouldn’t normally find erotic that frankly make me worried the FBI will confiscate my computer when I stumble on them, [...]

According to some online sources [here and here], the fate of the upcoming Justice League film (and by upcoming, I mean a few years from now) depends on the success of the new Superman film, Man of Steel. So any DC fans out there who have been eagerly anticipating a Justice League film to compete with Marvel’s The Avengers, whether [...]

I come from a large group of overachievers. Normally, this just means coping with being one of the only cousins who hasn’t completed her postgraduate degree (I’m going to get that paper done. THEN, I’ll fit in! You’ll see!) or being the one who borrowed her parents’ car well into her mid-twenties. But by and large, I’ve kept up pace [...]

I have to admit that I was not really that excited about Iron Man 3. I’m a big comic book fan, and I loved the first film with the Armored Avenger. I didn’t hate the second one, and Avengers was great, but I wasn’t sold totally on another outing with our favorite snarky billionaire. The trailer doesn’t have me completely [...]

I’m taking time out of my busy birthday (that I’m sure you care about so much) to let you know what we’ll be talking about at my party. First and foremost, as if there were any other news this week, AGENT PHIL M*****F***** COULSON IS COMING BACK! Speaking of people with M*****F***** as a middle name, Bill Murray crashed some [...]

Pardon me whilst I rant for a moment. So what does DC have now that Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is done? Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel? A Justice League movie? That seems to be about it. What does Marvel have? Sequels to Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, plus a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Advantage: Marvel. Even though I’m [...]

I’ve slogged through all the cats on the Internet to find you the best, cat-free stuff around. Here’s what happened this week. You’re welcome. Like a flipping boss in a bad action movie, Mars rover Curiosity emerged from the 7 minutes of terror (that it only had a 30 percent chance of surviving) and made a cheeky quip. Bill Nye [...]

My pal Dustin wrote an article for us this week which says that we should give movies a chance before judging them. I used to agree with his sentiments, but I do not anymore. He cited my rant about not watching Battleship  in order to make Hollywood would stop making crappy movies, so I feel compelled to respond. To get [...]

Comic book deaths are almost laughably temporary. They’ve served as an easy out for a creative team sketched into a corner or to freshen up a character so ripe they make hákarl look fresh. Bonus points: 5 internets to the first person to tell me in the comments what hákarl tastes in their experience. You will also be named Food [...]

Everyone saw The Avengers over the weekend. Why wouldn’t they? It had a bunch of superheroes fighting a god that is invading the Earth with aliens from the other side of the galaxy by harnessing the power of a magic cube. Why wouldn’t people go see that? However, I’m willing to bet that most of the people that saw it [...]

There are few things in life as fantastic as The Avengers. Among those things are cookies. After moments of careful scientific study in my fiancé’s kitchen, I have found a way to do the impossible – to combine them! Like the A-Team or….um…The Avengers … baking is all about items or um…people….with different abilities coming together to accomplish something great. [...]

Marvel’s The Avengers releases tomorrow, so I thought we could look back at the absolute worst members of the Avengers and hope that we never see them on film.   Stingray – Walter Newell is an oceanographer who builds a suit so he can be an underwater superhero. He’s like Aquaman, except that he has to put on a suit [...]

I am really excited for this week. There is a lot of good stuff coming out. At least for music anyway. DVD/ Blu-ray releases are just okay, I guess. DVD/Blu-ray New Releases for May 1st, 2012 Haywire. Starring Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, and Channing Tatum. Trailer Joyful Noise. Starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton. Trailer George Harrison: Living in the [...]

The Avengers is coming out in a couple weeks (or Marvel’s The Avengers if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, but still feels like one article too many to me), and I’m more excited than Agustus Gloop in the chocolate mixing room. I’m avoiding all spoilers. I’ve stopped watching snippets leaked online. Nope, I want to go into this [...]

From 16-21 I worked in a movie theater selling tickets. While the uniform was a pure polyester nightmare of maroon and ill-fitting vests, the perks ruled. Free movies for myself and a few friends with me. Yeah, any popularity I had during those years can almost be directly attributed to free moves (I say almost because, as you probably already [...]
