I went to the Jordan’s IMAX Theater to see Watchmen last Sunday night and the experience has left me feeling kind of strange. I can’t stop thinking about the movie, and even dreamed about it a little bit — although I can’t remember the context of the dream, only that Watchmen was in my head [...]

Thinking about the films slated for 2010 in my last post, I sort of forgot that we still have plenty of interesting comic and genre pieces scheduled for release in 2009. The first in the list, obviously, is the biggest. Watchmen was deemed unfilmable by it’s creator, writer Alan Moore.
They filmed it anyway, although it [...]

Newsarama has a rundown of films that Warner Brothers just announced are slated for release in 2010 and 2011, and there look to be a few at least semi-interesting comic book and genre based picks in there.
Here’s the list, from Newsarama (with their commentary):
Sherlock Holmes – Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr. [...]

There’s a great interview with Joss Whedon about his new show Dollhouse, which debuts next Friday the 13th on Fox and stars Eliza Dushku.

As a big, big fan of Firefly (though not so much of either Buffy or Angel), I’m hoping for some seriously quality writing and character here. Firefly, which was completely screwed up [...]
Exec-producer Jeph Loeb fired from “Heroes”
Posted in Geekitude!, television, tagged Heroes, Jeph Loeb, Lost, NBC, Season Three on November 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A little while ago, I lamented the current state of the show “Heroes,” and considered that writer and producer Jeph Loeb was part of the problem.
Or at the very least, not a part of the solution.
Well, this news comes from Variety, in an article called “‘Heroes’ duo get the ax“:
Big shakeup on the staff of [...]
Mark Millar’s Superman Movie

Comic book writer Mark Millar (Wanted, The Authority) has been talking about wanting to write a Superman film for a long time.
In an interview with Empire he reveals a little more about his grand idea, which sounds pretty darn awesome. In Millar’s best case scenario, the Superman film franchise’s next installment would be not one [...]
Heroes: Season Three
Posted in Geekitude!, television, tagged Heroes, Jeph Loeb, Lost, NBC, Season Three on October 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
As Season Three of HEROES, subtitled “Villains,” moves along it has become more and more obvious that the show is in trouble.
Entertainment Weekly does a good job of dissecting the problems the show is having in their cover story this week, ‘Heroes: Five ways to fix it.’ Newsarama also has a review of the most [...]
Jeff Bridges is a cool guy

As if we needed further proof that Jeff Bridges, famous actor, was a cool guy.
I discovered today that Bridges has a fantastic photo gallery of photos he took on the set of Iron Man, entitled Making Iron Man. Apparently he takes photographs documenting every movie he makes and gives a book of the best ones [...]
Ronald McDonald sighting in Holyoke
Posted in Geekitude!, Photos, tagged Holyoke, Ronald McDonald on August 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
For lunch today, I broke out of the routine and made my way over for an afternoon McDonald’s drive-through run.
This is the same McDonald’s where, a few weeks back, police had to shoot a man in the shoulder after he became agitated and started waving a knife around. Today, as seen in the photo above, [...]
I wish I had gone (to San Diego Comic-Con)

Well, the dust is settling in San Diego still, I’m sure.
San Diego Comic-Con was this past weekend and, while it sounds like Hollywood is nudging the the comic industry further and further to the fringes, I’m really starting to feel like I need to attend this convention some year. A couple softball teammates went last [...]
