This October IDW will release Ghostbusters Holiday Special: What in Samhain Just Happened?!, written by Peter David with art by Dan Schoening.  Why am I pimping this particular comic you ask?  Well, beside the fact that Ghostbusters are cool, my buddy Robby was used as a cover model for this comic! The cover artist for [...]

Here is a little something to help you get through the rest of the week.  Why?  Because it’s awesome and so are you. If you can’t view the embedded video above, please click here.

I figure most people saw this last week as it made it’s rounds on the interwebs.  In case you missed it, here is the trailer to Marvel Comics’ feature film The Avengers made in 1952! If you can’t see the embedded video above, please click here. My thanks to Ed for directing me to this.  [...]

Dack from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back has taken on near-mythical status with geeks.  When we first meet Dack he demonstrates his boundless enthusiasm with the line: “Right now I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself!” As someone that’s watched the film a few times, this line is quite sad [...]

If you can’t see the embedded video above, please click here. Thanks to my good friend Billy Penn for sending this my way.  For details [...]

I was watching the movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action with my ten-year-old step-son when this scene blew both our minds. Crazy!!!  We totally weren’t expecting that!  This movie was made in 2003, during the Doctor Who “wilderness years”.  Meaning this film was released between 1989 and 2005, when the Doctor Who series wasn’t being [...]

If you can’t view the [...]

As mentioned yesterday, I was a big fan of comic-related pins in the late-80s and through the mid-90s.  Yesterday we featured pins from DC Comics, today we’re going to feature pins from Marvel Comics, independent comic companies, movies, and TV. Thankfully comic companies were generous with giveaway pins and also sold some nice quality cloisonne [...]

How did I not know about this movie before now?!?!? It’s about time travel. It’s starring Chris O’Dowd from THE IT CROWD. It’s British. It’s billed as DOCTOR WHO meets SHAUN OF THE DEAD. And it’s got Anna Faris. The film was released in the UK back in April 2009. WTF, mate?!?!  Utterly bizarre that [...]
