This post is going to be like throwing spaghetti on the wall: I’m just gonna toss a lot of stuff up here and see what sticks. It worked for Oscar Madison (okay, that was linguini – work with me).
Movie prices
According to Slice-of-Sci-Fi…
The weekend closed out the books for the summer season and while ticket sales were up to $4.35 billion, the highest total ever for a summer season, overall attendance was down. Attendance this summer was 552 million, . . . → Read More: Throwing spaghetti on the wall

This is just too perfect. I actually laughed out loud at a couple.
Super-Social Networking: Superhero Facebook Status Updates
My favorites are by far Spider-Man’s and Green Lantern’s.
They need one for The Tick, though… SPOOOOOOOOOON!

Green Lantern – First Flight
With characters that have as huge of an existing storyline as Green Lantern, it’d be easy for a movie like Green Lantern: First Flight to get lost in trying to add in all the cool stuff and cameos that could be covered. That isn’t the case here. This is a lean movie. At 70 minutes, you could actually argue that it’s too lean. But I still liked it.

It's funnier when you hear the song.
Aquaman.
Of all the Justice League characters, he is perhaps the most ignored. The most ridiculed.
To be fair, he talks to fish. Some ridicule is to be expected. And really, put him up against Batman and Superman and something seems to be … lacking.
This is my new favorite superhero-related song (or see the YouTube version):

Is Watchmen unfilmable?
I’ve seen the trailers. I’ve seen a bunch of clips. It looks good. The visuals are great. Hard to say much else about it, though, so far.
I’m also reading the book for the first time. At the moment I’m over 3/4 through it, so I don’t know the whole story, but I’ve seen a lot of it. I like the book (probably not a surprise).
Here’s the thing, though. Everyone has told me that . . . → Read More: Quick thoughts on Watchmen: unfilmable?

I don’t know a whole lot about Wolverine’s origins other than what is in the X-Men movies. For some reason I never read the comics versions. I’m pretty excited to see this. Plus, it’s got Gambit. I know some people don’t like him, but he was one of my favorite X-Men from the TV cartoons.
Not sure how that helicopter thing is going to work out… that looks a bit cheesy in the trailer, but I’m willing . . . → Read More: Wolverine movie trailer

Looks like I am officially blogging. I am too cool for words. (Ironic, isn’t it.)
Thusly did this, my first blogging experience, begin. Pretty sad, really, but there you have it. Now here we are, three years and over 400 posts later, and I figure it’s about time I looked back to see if I’ve ever written anything worth reading. (I . . . → Read More: Three years of yammering on…

I read somewhere recently that comic books do superhero fights better than movies because things happen too fast in the movies. I understand where that’s coming from, but I’m not sure I buy it completely. Spider-man’s fights were pretty cool in the movies (especially vs. Doc Ock), for example.
Superman: Doomsday, being the animated version of the “Death of Superman” comic book series, had the perfect chance to prove that sentiment wrong. It was a good fight . . . → Read More: Review: Superman: Doomsday

Robert Downey Jr. has been touted as the perfect choice to play Tony Stark. When I first saw the trailer I was doubtful about that choice. I always pictured Stark as taller, and with a deeper voice. Now that I’ve seen the movie, I’m over that. He did a great job, and I really can’t think of any better choice. Excellent casting.
I’ve heard a lot of people saying this was the best superhero movie ever. Before . . . → Read More: Review: Iron Man
