Pineapple Express 2!
My favorite of all of the April 1st silliness on the web yesterday is this fake trailer: As I was just saying yesterday (in my review of Take This Waltz), I am excited for Seth Rogen & Co.’s end-of-the-world movie, This is the End, which opens this summer. It looks like fu
Catching Up on 2012: Take This Waltz
I went into Take This Waltz knowing full well that this wasn’t going to be the usual kind of Seth Rogen film. Frankly, I was excited by that idea! I have been a big fan of Seth Rogen since his work as a young kid on Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. And while I haven’
News Around the Net (and a rant about Prometheus!)
So, OK, bloody disgusting ran an article that Fox doesn’t know what to do with a proposed sequel to Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, and that the source of the problem is that when Lost’s Damon Lindelof re-wrote Jon Spaihts’ original Alien prequel script into wha
Re-Reading Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic — Part One
After completing my big project of catching up on Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern saga, I decide to dive back into another DC Comics epic: Grant Morrison’s long run on Batman. Mr. Morrison took over the Batman title back in 2006, and he’s been spinning a long, complex B
Star Trek: Allegiance in Exile
I have really enjoyed all of the Star Trek novels written by David R. George III. Just a few weeks ago, I heaped enormous praise upon his “Lost Era” novel, Serpents Among the Ruins, that depicted “The Tomed Incident” and a story of the Enterprise B. I also
“I Will Walk Over Your Cold Corpses” — New Trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness
So… ok then! A new international trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness just dropped this morning, full of new footage. It’s available in HD here — click on “International Trailer — UK.” Like all the glimpses we’ve gotten so far of Star Trek
News Around the Net!
This high school-set Game of Thrones parody, School of Thrones, is fantastic. Worth it for the awesome opening credits alone. I often wax poetic about my love for the great, much-missed The Larry Sanders Show. My buddy Ethan e-mailed me this link to a terrific interview with Jeffr
Catching Up on 2012: Safety Not Guaranteed
A group from a Seattle magazine decides to investigate a classified ad that caught their attention: “Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You’ll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once
Star Trek The Lost Era (Book 3): The Art of the Impossible (2328-2346)
After re-reading Excelsior: Forged in Fire (the story of how Hikaru Sulu became the captain of the USS Excelsior, as well as the backstory behind Kor, Kang, and Koloth’s connection with Dax as seen in the DS9 episode “Blood Oath”) and Serpents Among the Ruins (the st
Catching Up on 2012: Josh Reviews Chronicle
I wasn’t much interested in Chronicle when it was first released. The “found footage” device felt over-played to me, and the footage in the trailers I saw had a low-budget vibe that made me feel like this would be super-heroes done on the cheap. But I kept readin
