So much for On the Lot… It start out fairly strong – then turned into a bizarre American Idol clone with movies – then the results show…yikes. The host is certainly no Ryan Seacrest – awkward, shouty and without the smooth skills needed to handle an hour long voting results show. Very abrupt in some [...]

I suppose it had to, now we just have to see what happens as Carrie Fisher and Garry Marshall jockey to see who can become Paul Abdul. Unless the short subject has anything to do with toilet humor or gives the impression of mocking the mentally challenged – then all bets are off. Last night [...]

Today is one of the holiest days of Geekdom – the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. George Lucas should be proud – two and a half good movies out of a series of six isn’t bad these days, really (The original trilogy, minus the Ewok bits from Return of the Jedi). Actually, the visuals of [...]

All three finalists are talented to be sure and worthy to be there, but I was pulling for Melinda to make it to the finish. [...]

There are some (or I have decided that there are some) unwritten rules of life and death in comics books. Mainly because life and death in comics are fairly fluid and flexible. They are: 1. Uncle Ben is dead.2. Thomas and Martha Wayne are dead.3. Krypton exploded.4. Bucky is dead. Without these deaths, Spider-Man, Batman, [...]

…and pointed them right at Blake Lewis. Last night’s American Idol was disco night. Or BeeGees night. Or something. Sean Connery was on hand to provide guidance this week to the final four contestants. Oh, wait…no, that was Barry Gibb. Never mind. The first four performances of the night got so-so reviews from the judges. [...]

Just a test of image uploading. Our test here has two cult favorite Justice League International members Booster Gold and Blue Beetle from DC Direct. Oh, and Booster Gold’s flying robot computer pal, Skeets. The Blue Beetle figure has been out for a while and for a bit was going for a pretty penny on [...]
