I went to a Gaiman book signing where someone asked him about the potential for a Sandman movie. After describing the worst, most Hollywood-ified screenplay he was recently pitched and promptly rejected, he described the moment that he was just chillin' with Alan Moore (as English comic book writers are wont) and…

Didn't Inside Llewyn Davis already prove this once and for all? Alongside proving that cats are cursed?

I honestly remember very little about Teen Angel, aside from the fact that it was very wacky. It's the kind of premise that would've only flown in the 90's. Sabrina, on the other hand, is timeless, A good show? Not really, but it did have the promised teenage witch, a snarky talking cat, wacky witch aunts, teenage…

Yes, actually. "Yum, this is crispy and hot and very familiar…I'll eat this….yep, that was just what I expected. Good stuff. Kinda. I guess I'd order another batch in six months or so, once my appetite for it peeks again."

Teen Angel? I remember it even though it apparently lasted all of one season during ABC's TGIF era in the late 90's. Because there was a time when Sabrina the Teenage Witch was Queen, and derivative rip-offs where potentially viable. 3

"Cool enough" expresses pretty well how I feel about the myriad of Marvel movies. They're fun, they're well-done, go see them by all means and have a good time…but man are they also pretty blah and forgettable. Half the entire world saw The Avengers, yet assemble any random ten people in a room and ask them what they…

I'm reminded of poor Jonathan from Buffy, who showed up as a loser side character for a while, before getting a very poignant episode all his own…before becoming goofy again, if slightly poignant…then kinda goofy again as part of the icky Nerd Trio…and then finally a really cool, really nice guy who got all stabbed up…

Novelists Butting Up Against Technology They Don't Understand reminds of the great/terrible(??) Stark Trek episode where the gang travels to old San Fran, only to be harried by a skeptical Mark Twain. Also, lil' Jack London was on hand to be Data's errand boy. Man, I'm not sure if genre TV has evolved, devolved, or…

I've been looking for this movie for years, without even knowing what it was called. I just had some vague memory of an awesome Halloween cartoon that was about the origins of it all…Too bad that it seems kind of hard to get ahold of the whole, real thing.You'd think any 'TV movie from the early 90's' would be right…

Though not necessarily film related, I've always considered Stephen King's Survivor Type to be one of the most horrific, gut-churning tales ever written. And following that same token, a girl I once knew considered King's The Jaunt to be the most disturbing story she ever read. Though I never got it, it gave her…

Calm down, now. I know J.J. Abrams got down on his knees and gave fanboys a great big, sloppy BJ with the The Force Awakens, but that doesn't mean you owe him anything. He's a bad director. Awful, even, and the sooner you realize that the happier and healthier you'll be. He's bad for geek fandom, and bad for you.…

That whole movie is really just a classic. It's one of the first and only horror movies I can remember freaking me out beyond belief as a kid. Dark Castle was really onto to something back then.

They should just do what everyone does these days—hire J.J. "References Are the Same as Plot" Abrams! "Okay, so the show obviously starts with a voice over saying, 'The final frontier'…then pan to a super cool ship…that blows up 2 seconds later! What! Psyche! That's not our ship! They'll never see how unexpected and…

I love Uncharted, I really do. I've played them to death. The settings are great, the characters are fun…but man are the actual plots of the games pretty terrible. Told very well, yes! But so lame as narratives. Both Heroes and Villains want X Artifact…except Artifact turns people CRAZY/INTO MONSTERS/Into CRAZY…

I've always been a fan of the brief, weird heyday of Dark Castle horror movies. House on Haunted Hill, Thirteen Ghosts, and yes, even Ghost Ship are all classics. Dumb? Yes, very much so, but also wildly creative and well-done. They weren't shooting for prestige, but at least aspired to be a more creative, distinct…

It's probably a great show…but again, how many people have even seen it? Save the references until it at least starts touring. The Lion King or Rent deserve pop culture jabs…not a niche show that 99% people of people can only identify as, "Uh, that one where the guy reaches his hand in the air…and there's a star or…

I find it weird that much of pop culture at large currently assumes everyone is familiar with Hamilton…the recent Broadway show that, despite being a sensation, has still only been seen by a tiny, tiny percentage of people who happened to be in the New York area in the past year and had the scratch and patience to…

Man, for such a likable, gee-shucks-kinda guy, Barry can be a real dick. Does refusing to tell his friends and family that he fucked up their lives rival bluntly lying to and wrecking Patty after she figured out he was the Flash, confronted him, and he still lied knowing she knew he was lying and knew it would wreck…

Considering Battle Angel is all about gore and body horror I would normally worry that its integrity might be at risk by being adapted into a PG13 Hollywood movie…but then again, even good manga has little integrity to begin with. Manga is practically defined by starting with a great idea that almost immediately…
