Forgive me if I use this space to shamelessly sell my stuff, but I wanted to announce that a comic book that I worked on has just been released. It’s The Lone Ranger & Tonto #3, the third special issue of the periodic series that supplements the highly successful Lone Ranger series from Dynamite … Continue reading
I am SO belated here, but it’s a loose end, so let’s tie it up: The news hit the trades a few weeks ago, just before the fifth season completed airing, that Rescue Me will finish for good on its final season in 2011. Which makes sense, I suppose: most of the best … Continue reading
Mike Judge has written and directed a new comedy! Ain’t that good news? Mike Judge is the guy who created Beavis & Butthead and King Of The Hill for television, and wrote and directed the movies Office Space and Idiocracy. That is a pretty solid track record for quality and durability and genuine hilarity. … Continue reading
I don’t drink much anymore. So there’s that, and also, there’s the fact that I’m no longer a kid. Qualifying for either of those conditions would help anyone immeasurably in watching a movie like G.I. JOE: The Rise Of Cobra, but that’s not the way I saw the movie. “Drunk children will love … Continue reading
That’s right, I said “Boobs, kung-fu, explosions, vampires, zombies, superheroes, and boobs.” This is America. Everybody loves those things. I know I do. (Except maybe vampires. I’m more of a werewolf guy.) Actually, I blasted those keywords upfront in order to make this shameless attempt to grab readers for my other … Continue reading
Naw, I dug the Watchmen movie a fair amount, actually. I just saw the above mash-up title [He’s Just Not That Into You + Watchmen] on a marquee somewhere in Yonkers back in March, and I had to finally share it. Unfortunately, it seems to accurately describe the opinions of a significant percentage … Continue reading
Getting out of the ‘eighties, it turns out, hasn’t been easy on anyone. It’s especially tough on the greased-up, hyper-muscled action heroes of the Reagan Era. All of them have suffered their ups and downs on screen and off, and have had to resort to drastic measures to maintain relevance. Steven Seagal has maintained … Continue reading
Yeah, I’m back on the subject. This latest episode of Rescue Me, entitled “Torch,” was just too good to pass unremarked. It was a sterling example of everything that’s right about this show, of which there is plenty (at the risk of repeating myself dangerously often.) The only thing I could criticize … Continue reading
I’ve been talking up my excitement about this movie for a while now, in this space and most everywhere else I leave tracks, so I would have to understand anyone who takes my opinion about Public Enemies with a grain of salt (or the entire shaker). I was looking forward to it like … Continue reading
I published this editorial elsewhere, but I want to repost it here because the inspiration started with an article from the CHUD front page. Also because I’d like to repeat my message, which is that I’m avoiding Transformers 2 and I think that you should too. ———————————- I didn’t … Continue reading
