It is indeed kind of unfortunate that "It's Godzilla!" is a joke that lots of Amercians make whenever any disaster happens in Japan. Good job by Annalee of reminding everyone of the serious side to Godzilla that made the original 1954 film the classic it has become.

I'm sensing a lot of long-festering Smurf hate out there, which is kind of unfortunate, as the original Belgian Smurf comics written by Peyo and his team back in the '60s were actually pretty good. Pick up one of the recently-released translations of these older Smurf comics by the US publisher Papercutz and you'll…

Just as long as the new Spider-Man movie makes NO mention of the Sandman being the true killer of Peter's Uncle Ben, Avi Arad is free to pretend that it fits into Raimi's movies to his heart's content.

Since the original Thundercats cartoon wasn't all that great (with the exception of its awesome opening title sequence), I'm not too worried about a remake sullying the good name of Thundercats. A semi-nude Cheetara like that from the original cartoon pilot wouldn't hurt however.

This reminds me of the story of L. Ron Hubbard's "doctorate of Philosophy" from Sequoia University - a fake diploma mill that Hubbard himself owned at one point.

I say if it doesn't have a tail, it's not a real lizardman (or lizard person if you will).

At 1:14, an erudite young man says "I ain't gonna take no chances." — Meaning what, exactly? Is he going to keep a sharp eye out for falling birds from here on? Perhaps pray extra hard for the next few days?

One of the characters should be a furry. That would be the ultimate test of public acceptance.

I dare anyone to freeze-frame the Roid Rage trailer at 0:51. I double-dog dare you.

I see Hermione more as the head Science officer than being relegated to the Uhura role of communications. She is of course the Spock of the Harry Potter world, after all.

Am I missing a page here? How did the guy turn back into his normal human 3D form on page 5?

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.

@Rahll:

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:

@RizzRustbolt:

An obscure bit of "Cobra" trivia for toy-collectors out there...

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