EW’s job is to piss me off. It’s part of the terrain, because as much as I want to like the magazine and because of how much I love much of the stuff they cover, they always wind up at the end of the day pissing me off with their extensive coverage of reality programs … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
This is barely news, since Sony announced that they wanted to make six Spider-Man films after Spider-Man 2 drenched theaters in its gooey web fluid of love, but new Marvel Studios Kevin Feige (a dude who supposedly is about as big a Marvel comics geek as any guy who spends all day on the Newsarama … Continue reading

To some, their stuff is lame frat boy … Continue reading
One of my earliest memories was watching This Island Earth on our pop-up b&w television in Greenwood Lake, New York and telling my father how much I loved the bulbous headed creatures I later grew to know of as Metalunians (though technically I guess the Jeff Morrow character is the true Metalunian and they’re bug-eyed … Continue reading
