I haven’t read Neil Gaiman’s Coraline – I’ve been far too busy the last couple of years following the Harry Potter saga to bother picking up some kid’s book – but what I’ve seen of the movie makes this shit look dark. At the Los Angeles opening of The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D Henry Selick … Continue reading
Iron Man is starting to remind me of some girls on MySpace. No, I don’t mean that he’s covered in glitter and starts playing a Justin Timberlake song as soon as you open his profile. Sometimes you’ll find a cute broad and you’ll go through their pictures and you realize that they have the same … Continue reading

Fuckin’ Jake Rossen. For about two years I had been playing with the idea of doing a book about the tortured journey that Superman took from Superman IV to Superman Returns, and had even talked to some friends in publishing about it.
