Zack Snyder's Justice League

Snyder’s Justice League: Epic or Just A League?

In 1990 Marvel's What The --?! parodied a fight between the Justice League and the Avengers. It was silly, and I quite enjoyed it. In a world where we have not one by two very different, but also very similar, Justice League movies, I figured we could combine them,...

Addams Family

Addams Family

I want to give some love to the trailer for the upcoming Addams Family movie. It's animated, and while exaggerated, the characters are really quite close to the original Charles Addams art. It's neat to see that. The weirdness is on full display as well, which is to...

Star Wars Ep9 Teaser

Star Wars Ep9 Teaser

And suddenly everyone on my Facebook is sharing the SW9 trailer. I'm mostly impressed. The flip with the TIE fighter looks amazing, and we all know what a stickler JJ is for practical effects! Many Bothans died to bring you that stunt. Not gonna lie, seeing Billy Dee...

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

Yeah, I watched it. And here's the thing - this was easily the most recursively meta movie I have ever seen. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a movie about them literally going to a movie, and then trying to get their own movie. Let that sink in. Teen Titans Go! To...

Is Criticism of Captain Marvel Legitimate?

Frontiers of the Imperium by Jan Kotouc

This was a fun one, with the kind of writing I like to read, and interesting characters. The novel felt off in the later parts, like it needed to end and had not. That is not actually a problem, when the novel ends, it all makes sense. What does make this tougher is...

More On Jussie Smollett

Quick note - spell check knows his last name. That says something. Anyway, breaking this morning is that Mr. Smollett not only paid friends to stage an attack, but also sent the 'suspicious letter' the week before. The letter is going to be the main problem, as it is...

Forgiveness

When do sins 'fall off'? This has become a topic of discussion in American politics, with the revelation that the Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, appears in either blackface or KKK robes in his college yearbook; the Lt. Governor, Justin Fairfax, stands accused of...

The Jussie Smollett Saga

2AM January 29th. Chicago, IL. It is about 6 degrees out. Possibly cooler based on location (the official readings are taken about 15 miles NW of where this story begins). According to Jussie Smollett, who is on the show 'Empire' on Fox (which I have never watched nor...
