A Rant on the Latest Battlestar Galactica Reboot

2 Comments Posted by on October 21, 2011

In August 2009 I reported that Bryan Singer was looking to make a new movie about Battlestar Galactica and that this movie would serve as yet another reboot to the BSG mythos.  Needless to say I railed against this proposed movie two years ago.  My core belief is that it is far too soon to [...]

Going Spoiler Free – The Spoiler Free Challenge

3 Comments Posted by on August 1, 2011

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve indulged in spoilers and luckily I’ve not been burned too badly by them.  But today I came to a realization.  Simply put, I realized if I wasn’t careful spoilers were going to ruin The Dark Knight Rises for me.  For those that haven’t seen it yet there [...]

The Great Reboot of DC Comics

Leave a Comment Posted by on June 1, 2011

Hearing or seeing the word reboot when it comes to comics generally sends a cold chill down my spine.  Mostly because I’m old school and like to respect the past storylines that have been told.  That being said, sometimes a reboot can be a good thing for refreshing iconic characters.  DC recently announced that starting [...]

Smallville Finale: The Birth of Superman

6 Comments Posted by on May 16, 2011

I think its still a little hard to believe that after 10 years Smallville is over.  No longer will I tune in weekly to see Clark Kent’s metamorphosis into the legendary Man of Steel, Superman.  But at least there was a two hour farewell given to this show I have dedicated so much time to. Was the [...]

Shame On You Sony

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 26, 2011

If you’re a Playstation 3 owner you might have noticed that the Playstation Network has been offline for nearly a week.  Periodic downtimes are to be expected so no one was too upset when PSN went down at first.  But when a few hours of down time turned into a couple of days of downtime [...]

Last week it was announced Stargate Universe was being cancelled.  After moving to Tuesday, and being paired with the recently cancelled Caprica, its rating were in rough shape.  Notice that the show was being cancelled was not sent out via a press release or notice on Syfy’s web-site, instead the news was sent out via [...]

Smallville Costume Evolution

1 Comment Posted by on October 21, 2010

I’ll be the first to admit that since this is Smallville’s last season I have been paying the show a good deal more attention. In fact, most of the recent blog posts probably reflect my renewed/heightened interest in the show. In all honesty, season 10 has already exceeded my expectations. It’s been fun and continued [...]

TV Ratings System

1 Comment Posted by on March 15, 2010

I was visiting my friend Mendie’s site and she had an interesting article about how TV ratings were killing her viewing buzz.  Her post caused me to have some thoughts of my own regarding how the ratings system is damaging TV as we know it.  So be warned, by rant is below! The problem with [...]

The Fundamental Flaw Of Dollhouse

3 Comments Posted by on December 9, 2009

So as you all probably know by now Dollhouse has officially been canceled by the geniuses over at Fox.  Not even Summer Glau was enough to save it!  That makes a second television show by Joss Whedon that has come to a premature end on Fox.  The first of course was Firefly.  Don’t get me [...]

Disney Buys Marvel – My Take

1 Comment Posted by on September 1, 2009

I’m going on record with this right now. If Marvel ever pulls a lame crossover with Marvel and Disney properties, I’m done. By that I mean for example Spidey and Hannah Montana in a team up book. That shenanigans would not stand with me. (The only exception might be a Kingdom Hearts style game with Marvel Ultimate Alliance characters and Disney characters. Kingdom Hearts was cool.)
