The hype says that Iron Man Three is the best of the franchise. I respectfully disagree. It was good. It was streets ahead of Iron Man: The Deuce. And it was funny and entertaining. I enjoyed myself. But for some reason, the entire drive home I complained about it. What’s up with that? Maybe it’s because it has 100 percent [...]

I thought I’d take a moment this week to briefly look at what’s hitting the box office this year and give a quick prediction on the outcome of each. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters – January 25th. Premise: Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) play the fairy tale brother and sister who are all grown up and have become [...]

Want a reprieve from stores pumping “Christmas Shoes” on repeat while you battle an octogenarian for the last clearance rack balsam-scented candle? I’ve gift wrapped some of the best the Intertubes has to offer. So settle under my tree, make some cocoa, and click away! This is from last week, but I didn’t see it. He made a cameo in [...]

Remember when the first photos from the set of Iron Man 3 were released? The sight of Tony Stark surrounded by all seven of his suits was mind blowing for reasons I can only chalk up to an Avengers contact high. “Dude, it’s like, all of the suits in one place, but he’s not in a suit. There’s some symbolism [...]

I don’t know if you guys have noticed this, but I’m a fan of “The Avengers,” or “Avengers Assemble” if you’re British. (If you’re British, well done on the London games and thank you for giving us Doctor Who. I mean it. Pat yourselves on the back for both of those.) Where was I? Ranting! Of course. I was looking [...]

After a brief absence where I unsuccessfully unplgged, I’m back with all the nerd news that’s fit to put on a PG-13-friendly website. Woe be to the gentleman on Craigslist who asked for a “Back end programmer familiar with Magneto,” for he shall meet an X-Men troll of the first order. The Oatmeal’s Matt Inman has a Tesla cannon and [...]

    The theatrical release for Marvel’s second chapter in the Avengers saga has been set.  The film will open May 1, 2015.  At this moment I am very excited for this movie. Over the course of two plus years my opinion may change, but I doubt it.  I can see myself now flying to the theater in my hover car, [...]

Ace of Bass is a tribute band to ‘90s Swedish pop group that performs entirely on…wait for it….upright basses. Didn’t see that coming, did you? You probably did; I telegraphed it pretty clearly. It’s a good question, and one I don’t hear asked enough – Why is rape worse than death in video games? Maybe now that Atari is 40, [...]

Someday I’ll have to write about something other than The Avengers. Someday. But today is not that day. Today I’m going to be the guy that reminds us that everything we love is awful. Today I’m going to be the guy that talks about why the Avengers, and comic book movies in general are racist and why making jokes about [...]

Like anyone else, I love going to the movies. It’s always a good time. Even if you end up hating the movie, you’re there enjoying the experience with your friends. I generally enjoy movies all around, there are very few movies that I really don’t like. But with movies based on a previous source such as The Avengers, Transformers, GI [...]

If you are anything like me or basically a person at all, you probably saw The Avengers this weekend. It broke some records and and took all of our money this weekend. It also got me thinking. How did we get to this point? It wasn’t too long ago comic books and video games weren’t cool. They were fun, but [...]

Ever since I wrote my last article about the return of Dallas, as well as a few other TV shows, I have been thinking a lot about TV show remakes and reboots. And by “a lot,” I mean for the past couple of days. So I have decided to compile a list of television shows that I think should be [...]

The Avengers is out. It’s live. The culmination of five years at Marvel Studios and arguably the most ambitious film event since Warner Brothers decided to do eight sequential movies about a boy wizard. If you’ve seen it already then you know what I know. And if you haven’t… well let’s be real. By Sunday evening everyone will have seen [...]

With the rapid approach of The Avengers (May 4…Get your tickets NOW!), I’ve noticed an uptick in all things superhero. Now, in no way am I complaining about this phenomenon. Quite the opposite, in fact! As a self-proclaimed geek, I readily admit my excitement. I even love the tie-ins that have absolutely nothing to do with Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, [...]

I haven’t read this week’s comics, so I don’t have any ratings today. Plus, next week I’m going to update my reading list. I’ve decided some books aren’t worth the money. When I say superhero teams, you probably think of The Avengers, The Justice League or (shudder) Super Friends. But what about a more realistic team? Imagine you’re a government [...]
