Like many other things in my life, this post revolves around the genius that is Joss Whedon. While concocting a couple of Disney rankings (all these Disney postings are in honor of MALEFICIENT which is opening Friday!) I came across a badass fan-made poster for a movie that needs to … Get hard
Under different circumstances, I would feel bad for Wil Wheaton. Twenty years (almost exactly!) after the end of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wheaton is still chiefly remembered by most, myself included, as Wesley Crusher, probably TNG‘s most polarizing character. (Personally, I found Wesley to be rather lovable, but the internet often … Get hard
THE SIGNAL feels like a muddled mixture of several different movies, with elements of a YA dystopia, a road trip coming-of-age flick, a teen found footage horror film, a BRAVE NEW WORLD/conspiracy sci-fi thriller, and even a dose of superhero tropes. Somewhere in the grab bag is a really good … Get hard
Man, oh man this was hard, dudes. Deciding who to rank, who is royalty enough, who is too royal for their own good, and then putting them in order from yuck to yay? Ugh. Especially for Disneycentric rankings it’s easy for things to get out of hand and I had to draw … Get hard

Over the last week, we’ve been reminiscing about the first X-MEN, what became of the franchise from there, and the importance of the X-MEN comic books.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is out today, and if you’ve already seen it, congratulations, your life is a little better than mine. (My own viewing will wait for tomorrow morning, a short delay that feels almost interminable right now.) We’ve already thrown some X-coverage at you this week. Sira did … Get hard
SPOILERS. I have so many thoughts on Bryan Singers’ long awaited third installment of the X-Men franchise. Most of these thoughts are fangirling because it finally came into theatres, but there’s a few good thoughts that are actually coherent opinions, so we’ll see how far we get into those before … Get hard
Welcome to the Superhero Movie Guidebook! For an introduction to this series, click here. Check here for past entries and future updates most Thursdays. One of my hopes when beginning this lengthy project was that I would discover some gems that I previously hadn’t seen. At last, with 1981’s Condorman, that hope has been realized. … Get hard
I am a fangirl. I am a fan, and I am a girl. When the term “fangirl” started to mean an obsessive, crazed (and often psychotic) constantly crying screwball who-gets-Edward-Cullen-tattooed-on-their-ass I’m not quite sure, but I am and always have been a fangirl. While it seems that the fangirl culture … Get hard
