Rip Hunter: Worst Time Traveler EVER.

They miht have done well to push it to summer regardless, just to avoid the huge gap between the parts. The Back To The Future sequels followed that strategy and it paid off for them. People were willing to wait for the last Harry Potter movie; not so much for Mockingjay 2.

Yeah, Lionsgate’s money people are grasping desperately to avoid admitting the truth of the matter — people aren’t spending the money on going to the cinema that they used to, partly because the available money has been tighter...and cinema prices have cranked up and up over the years (to the point where a matinee of…

Yep, once I got involved with the SF community at large as a teenager (this while I was living in Jamaica), Andy’s sideline in porn was common knowledge, as were the porn adventures of a number of well known skiffy writers — Bob Silverberg did his time in the sleaze mines as well. Richard E. Geis, of course, was more…

It’s been my contention since the beginning that the New52 was an extended experiment, and would come to an end with issue #52 of Justice League (and whatever survived of the initial launch series.) It was designed to give them a new start coming out of Flashpoint, and was developed on the fly and at speed, which is…

Yeah, pretty much. Although word is that they’re on the Waverider - the hourglass is in Rip’s study area, visible in part two of the pilot.

“You bastards, you’ve killed Carter!”

Ma Hunkel and Hourman may be just easter eggs in the show — we’ve already seen the hourglass in Rip’s study in part 2 of the pilot, and I think the helmet is on a shelf in there as well.

All of the Doctor Who was relicensed a week or so ago. Actually still leaving, as far as I can see, is Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and Young Justice (they only had season 1.) Those were all renewed in late December, apparently for all of a month.

So, expect extra cheese on this pizza, then.

Wow, slap in the face on the Soma FM app — not compatible with any of my Android devices.

REQUEST DENIED.

Nolan’s films made a point of it, but found ways around it — Bats pretty much tells Ducard he’s going to let him die in the first film (and the fire he started in the League Of Assassins HQ kills the fake Ra’s and numerous others) and in RISES Talia and a flunky die as a result of the crash caused when Bats blows up…

I called Bowie doing a Zappa a while back. There's the complete version of OUTSIDE, for one, which could be released as two or three separate projects (a second album had been assembled for release after 1.Outside, but it never happened) including the three hour version that was originally planned. Then there's TOY,…

Oh, I don't know. Wouldn't you like to see Solondz adapt something like the Penance (Speedball on downers) story from Marvel? Or Vext, from DC, about a schlub who becomes the God Of Flatulence?

True enough. And it would be difficult for me, personally, to justify as my current toaster oven is working fine, is a large high quality unit, and doesn’t see that much use generally. I have to wonder how often anyone uses a toaster oven....

Convection and consistency, speed, more heating elements...it’s there in the listing.

The trailer for this sells it as an awful, awful hash. I think Chloe Grace Moretz has the potential to be a significant actress as she grows up, but when she gets stuffed into tripe like this and Dark Shadows, it’s hard to see it ever happening.

No, no, no, you’ll trigger a singularity!

That needs to be a Robot Chicken sketch.
