The main problem I have with the "Nemesis" comic is that its just another example of a supposedly real-world treatment of a supervillain trope that quickly ignores its own rules of logic to go for the "wow, that's extreme!" reaction. Much like "Kick-Ass".

I keep hearing that atomic-age/space-age is the next Steampunk, but I don't think there are enough accessories involved with space-age to grab people in quite the same way.

I'd be willing to bet that "natural male enhancement" drugs are equally placebo-based... just much more expensive.

Cool concept, but the Japanese anime/toy series "Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger" got there first in 1984:

I hope the new Piranha movie has a shout-out to the cute little fish/dinosaur animated by Phil Tippet in the original movie.

Too bad Darabont only did the first ep, but the series seems to be in good hands.

The rumor is true, as Michelle MacLaren has been directing scenes for episodes 2 and 3 of "The Walking Dead" in Atlanta for a few weeks now.

All the crappiness of Predator 2 was redeemed by the one scene where the Alien skull was revealed inside the Predator ship.

"And so it came to pass that the almighty GODZILLA said 'Let there be light!', and there was light, of the radioactive burning variety. And the people did scream and run and lament their sins which had displeased the will of GODZILLA."

What? No mention of the most famous Japanese sci-fi submarine, Gotengo (better known internationally as ATRAGON)?

Know a Japanese woman who's over 25 years old and not married? Call her "Christmas cake", and watch the fun! Cultural note: Christmas cakes are much less desirable after December 25th and get marked down in price quite a bit at Japanese bakeries.
