Pull List Review: June 2005
Here’s what I’m currently buying on a regular basis, and why. What about you? 100 GirlsBecause it’s a great story, and Adam Gallardo‘s an interesting guy. 15 MinutesBecause it makes C-list superheroes interesting. Action PhilosophersBecause it’s smart and funny and takes more than 5 minutes to read each issue. ArañaBecause I really wanted it to
LINK: What’s Next for Marvel Movies?
Avi Arad, Marvel’s chairman and CEO, spoke with MTV.com about where several of the companies nearly 5,000 characters stand with regards to movie prospects, ranging from X-men 3 to Captain America to Cloak & Dagger. X-Men 3: Regarding Jean Grey’s possible evolution at the end of the last movie, however, Arad says, “Dark Phoenix should
Comment: Synergy, A Summer Blockbuster Staple
With less than a week to go, the full court press is on to promote Batman Begins. I stated in a previous post that my Dad asked me when it comes out. The marketing gurus of DC’s prized possession must be grinning ear-to-ear when they can get a 52-year old who was never into comics
Comment: 9 Days and Counting!
Batman Begins opens June 15th, and the reviews are starting to come in. This weekend at Wizard World Philly’s DC panel, lucky attendees were selected for an advance screening. Regular folks like you and me will have to wait a little longer to see DC’s crown jewel in all its celluloid glory. I’m eager to
Weak in you, the Force is…
Revenge of the Sith is apparently secretly subtitled: “The movie mofos will come see no matter what I do, so I’m just going to geek out on the CGI and not worry too much about the story.” Ugh, it was bad! Like Mystery Science Theater bad, just with better special effects. I usually like to
Review: Batman Begins’ Smallville Preview
WOW should begin and end every sentence when speaking about Batman Begins. Last night, America was treated to a 10-minute preview of the future blockbuster, courtesy of the WB Network. At the end of the preview my first thought was, “WOW!” My second thought was, “Hopefully I won’t die before June 15th.” It sounds ridiculous,
Longest. Week. Ever.
There’s a request of my NY-area readers at the end of this, but first, the preamble. “Life, she is a roller coaster; for every thrilling dip, there is an uphill slog.” I just made that sagacious little quote up, because it pretty much sums up last week. Long story short, we’ve squashed the Bloomfield house
CBC INFO: Ch-ch-ch-changes…
Just a little heads-up on some changes afoot here at CBC. Most significant, in terms of content, is that I will no longer be posting current reviews, including ménage à trois, or interviews here. The Editor is a megalomaniacal control freak who insists on… Oh, wait, wrong site! I’m the Editor here! Seriously, though, last
Free Trade Guerrilla: Queer Eye for the Meta Guy
With this… I say “THANKS!” to Brandon and anyone else associated with Superman Returns for throwing two strikes on this movie before it even hits the editing room! Somebody invest in some foam! Hire BALCO and hook him up with some Cream and Clear. Someone up the CGI budget, please. Do something. Anything! Physique issues
A Fanboy’s Take: Superman Returns
There was a nice article in Friday’s USA Today revealing to the world its first look at Brandon Routh as Superman. The focus of the article is entirely on the re-visualization of the iconic costume. Set for release in June 2006, Superman Returns has been said to follow in continuity with Superman 1 & 2,
