My favorite is The Road Warrior, with Fury Road a close second (I like Tom Hardy but clearly the role was meant to be played by an older Mel Gibson... not too surprising...! ;-)

While he’s listed as a co-director, George Miller wasn’t as involved in BT  and George Ogilvie had the reigns.

Absolute legend and so sad to hear this today.

I must say... you kill me...!

Now that was funny!

Chappie?!

One of my all time favorite horror films... and what’s so wild is that it could be considered a horror film and musical hybrid...!

I remember enjoying The Moving Target, which was made into Harper, though I liked the novels from the ‘60s and ‘70s better.

Sorry for the delay... got distracted by a bunch of things.

Incredibly shocking.

Since the alternate ending of Evil Dead 2 (released way back in 1987, just to remind people), Raimi and company have wanted, it seems to have Ash in some kind of Mad Max-ian post-apocalypse and... I’m there for it.

I have only read maybe a third of the Archer series (Macdonald was incredibly prolific and his writing career stretched from the ‘40s to the ‘80s) but I always saw the character as distinct from Marlowe. He struck me as much more judgmental and self-righteous. Archer (or at least as I remember the character) was by…

I was just mentioning the Three Investigators to someone the other day.

it sucks that Guggenheim is not getting work at all. But I’m not sure it’s that surprising - a lot of TV creators struggle getting another project off the ground after working on one for a decade.

Sorry for the delay, I had a birthday so I got distracted for a bit there.

yes, at this point the artists are doing a lot of the work story-wise, but in 1965 Lee hires Roy Thomas to write for the company, and he ends up becoming the company’s first “star” writer after Lee, though a lot of that was because he was skilled at mimicking Lee’s authorial voice. And within a year, he’s writing Aveng…

For me, its more of a question which was second best because I thought hands down and against all odds The Flash trailer was easily the best of the lot.

There are several movie trailers being released today and its surprising -at least to me!- that this is the one that has impressed me the most.

Based on the Riesman bio and other sources, I think also what happens around 1964-65 is that Lee realizes that comics are his ticket to celebrity, that they don’t have to be this obscure hobby but a pop cultural phenomenon on the order of Beatlemania. And that he can be the public face of this phenomenon, whereas guys…

I’ve read a fair amount of Kirby’s post-1970 stuff and I think the whole “Lee is a complete fraud and Kirby did all the work” thing is largely a myth, stemming from a failure to understand how comics were made in the ‘60s (and to be honest, well into the ‘70s and ‘80s). Aside from the dialogue and narration, the…
