Um, what? I haven’t watched Smallville in YEARS. What happened? So, Clark can’t fly on Smallville in order to keep him “grounded”, but meanwhile they will introduce the ENTIRETY of the Justice Society? BWAHAHAhahahHAha…
Ok, now that I’m over the initial shock, I totally have to watch this. I love seeing live action superpowers and this looks like it is going to be *amazing* one way or another.
Any ideas on a drinking game?
I loved the updated The Losers comic from Vertigo. It was the right combination of edgy, gritty and surprising. And, while I did occasionally have trouble telling the difference between the lead male characters early on, I thought the art style was dead on for the story.
So now we come to The Losers movie. When Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast, that seemed like a move in the right direction. His gritty portrayal of the Comedian seemed like it would lend nicely to his version of Clay. Zoe Saldana has proven herself in many a geek movie by now and Chris Evans is never hard on the eyes. Seems promising.
Tonight, ET will be showing the first Trailer. This promo makes it look a little more colorful and campy than I had been envisioning it, but it still looks awfully fun. What do you think?

I started collecting Uncanny X-Men in 1988 and quickly became obsessed , gobbling up all the back issues I could find. I ate up Storm’s struggle to deal with the loss of her powers, Kitty’s painful desire to fit in, Rachel Summers’ dark secrets and Wolvie, Nightcrawler and Collossus’s three way bromance. Seriously, a golden era.
So when I found Iron-Cow Production’s custom X-Men 1986 figures, I was instantly enamored. Not only do the figures look GREAT, but they’ve also included amazing backdrops like Rachel’s phoenix force manifestation and Nightcrawler’s *BAMF*! Love love love! I wish Marvel would mass produce these!

Just discovered random-domain. They’ve got some pretty funny comics over there including this gem about Avatar. Pickings are slim, but funny!
I’m sure all my B-movie horror buds will correct me, but this is the first I’ve ever seen of this awesome take on coed murderfests!
In Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil (starring, your friend and mine, Alan Tudyk, the title characters are backwater hillbillies who are having some of the worst coincidences of their lives. A group of Coeds have showed up and and, from their perspective, are participating in some sort of suicide pact as one by one they gruesomely die. Of course, from the coeds perspective, this is all Tucker and Dale’s doing. If you can’t tell, hilarity ensues - can’t wait to see this in a beer theater!
This dress may have Freezepop reconsidering their “I’m am not your Gameboy”

FOX is an amazing entity. Over and over they sucker us nerds into their bosom only to knee us in the groin and laugh as they leave us bleeding and alone in a dark alley. And we keep falling for it.
We may all be preparing for makeup sex, as there is news out that FOX is considering bringing Torchwood to the US (supposedly with the UK producers - and possibly even John Barrowman). I’m not a huge fan of Torchwood to start with (I never made it past the horrific acting in episode 6, “Countrycide”), so I’m not concerned with FOX “ruining” it. But I just can’t imagine they’ll keep any of the magic that keeps so many of my friends coming back for more.
Does this mean what I think it means? Are we getting White Lanterns? That sure looks like a Lantern Ring icon to me!
If my jell-o brain remembers correctly, DC has been calling white lantern light the “light of creation”, which makes me very curious about what a white lantern would be able to do - sounds pretty godlike. Like Nekron, will there just be one? It has to be a female, right? I mean c’mon, now.
I’m submitting an official prediction: Blackest Night #8 will be a one on one battle between Black Lantern Nekron and White Lantern… I have to go Wonder Woman! Either that or the Sorceress from MotU.
This is so so so rad. It is plenty clear by now that I love the Phoenix Wright series of games. When I heard they are coming to the big screen in the form of Wiiware, I was excited, but didn’t know if I wanted to pay to own two copies of the same game.
Question no more.
In the WiiWare version of Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney, you can cause Phoenix to object by mimicking his animation and forcefully stabbing your finger shamefully at the witness along with him! Motion controlled objecting! I love it!!!

“Villainous Victorian Velociraptor” shirt by Lori Zawada
This shirt just makes me chuckle everytime I look at it.
Currently, sold out at shirt.woot, but look for it at the Reckoning later!
Even watching this trailer with my own two eyes, I can’t believe there is an A-Team movie coming out. How is this not a College Humor parody? As someone who found a way to love GI Joe: Rise of Cobra, I’m not sure I can get on board with this.
I just stare at it dumbfounded. At least GI Joe gave us a CGI extravaganza where we got to see our childhood memories brought to life. This A-Team movie appears to bring nothing new to the table beside updated hairstyles and filming techniques (and a badly CG’ed air battle).
Are there people out there excited for this? Am I biased because I watched more Airwolf than A-Team? Did Baracus need a mohawk and Hannibal a cigar for us to know who they are?
Only time will tell…

“Clean Monster” shirt from Threadless
I love the idea that either Godzilla has gotten a bad rap all these years or that he (she?) is now trying to make amends :)
