Frankly, CBS pisses me off sometimes. It’s so formulaic, a bastion of procedurals, acronyms and old-school/mediocre sitcoms carefully constructed for the average TV watcher. Aside from The Good Wife and Person of Interest, I hardly have any interest in any of their programs, yet they’re the #1 network because they’re safe, smart and adept at … Get hard
Kevin Smith and the elementary school bus taught me how to swear. I was twelve years old when I stumbled upon a Red Band trailer for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back online, and guffawed like an idiot at all the dick and fart jokes, pretending like I knew what … Get hard
It’s easy to forget, at least for me, how awesome the first Sin City was. It came out back in 2005 and blew everyone’s minds due to its visual flair that was a game-changer in Hollywood, and showed how to loyally adapt a comic book into a movie with style. 9 years … Get hard
EW always brings together some of the best and most interesting stars together for what are normally fun and rousing panels. This year, Darren Franich moderates the “Brave New Warriors” panel that included Sleepy Hollow‘s Tom Mison, Fury‘s Jon Bernthal, The Giver‘s Brenton Thwaites, Sons of Anarchy‘s Theo Rossi and Bates Motel‘s Freddie Highmore. Franich … Get hard
It’s nice to see Showtime’s Penny Dreadful get some love at Comic-Con. I was under the impression that either nobody watched it, or the people that did were kind of nonplussed about it, or that they’d rather read Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen instead. Either way, it didn’t get a ton … Get hard
Well, this is why we’re here. This is why I have permanent back damage and could sleep until next year’s Comic-Con at this point. What do we have in store for us? RDJ intro’d the panel two years ago. Hiddleston did last year. Is James Spader going to bring on … Get hard
After Legendary and WB’s pretty massively packed panels, with a bevy of announcements, many in Hall H chose Boxtrolls as the bathroom break/food adventure time. People won’t be sleeping on Laika’s Boxtrolls when it arrives. And I’ll be honest, it very well could be the best movie covered in Hall H today. … Get hard
Now it’s time for Legendary Pictures and less than thrilling analysis, because I’m just trying to catch up, and wrap my head around the insanity. The guide doesn’t reveal the slate, and with Godzilla, 300: Rise of An Empire in the rearview window…what does Legendary have upcoming? The internet has answers: Crimson Peak and Dracula … Get hard
It’s Saturday. Hall H. I made it. Don’t want to talk about the ordeal. Chris Hardwick is moderating, as Marty McFly. Yeah, that’s a great omen. We startin’ with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Shiiit. We get a brief intro with some gritty concept art. Zack Snyder comes to the … Get hard
It’s clear that after two seasons, that Arrow has secured serious fanboy cred, and is probably THE superhero/comic book TV show. Not only does it have a panel tonight (Friday), but it’s a part of the WB TV 3 hour sploosh fest tomorrow night at Hall H. I wonder how many push … Get hard
