Eugene Son is a friend of mine. He’s kindly put me up in his house when I had some meetings with some Hollywood-types. He’s a talented writer. And yet, he ruined Iron Man for me. It’s really ironic, too, since he’s actually written the Iron Man, cartoon. First, let’s cover the important stuff. I’m out [...]
I saw Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix last night. I won’t spoil anything, although I really think that anyone who cares has probably already read the fifth book. Order of the Phoenix is my least favorite of the series so far. For the most part, it was a bunch of characters who [...]
Transformers was an interesting experience. I was incredibly jazzed for a movie that I had absolutely no expectations for. How weird is that? I really wanted to see this film, and didn’t care how it was going to turn out. I’ve talked about how I like seeing certain movies with my group of friends. This [...]
I’m back from the Licensing Show, and will hopefully write much more about it tomorrow. Really quick, though, it was a good show and I think good things will come from it. One of the coolest parts, though, was that the CBS/Paramount booth had a replica of the bridge and command chair. And I, um, [...]
Okay, would someone please explain this to me: I just got back from seeing Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End… and liked it a lot. The first still is the best, but the third is close behind, and is, in fact, so good and pays off threads from the previous film that I now [...]
Tomorrow night is the premiere of Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End. Some friends of mine and I are going. We were planning on the midnight show, but then they announced the eight and, hey, we’re not stupid. The occasion of the third film isn’t just an excuse to run a picture of the [...]
One of the big events on my summer schedule was the premiere of Spider-Man 3. (And, yes, I know that May is technically spring.) I really liked the first one and loved the second one, so I had high hopes for the third installment. But, before I blabber about the movie, let me tell [...]
As a frequent flyer, and one who will be jaunting back out to LA next week (more on that later), the recent foiled attacks has me a little nervous. Especially since I was hoping to bring just carry-on for such a short trip. Now, I can’t do that. After all, I can’t travel without my [...]
First, a word about spoilers. Generally, I won’t reveal them. There’s a statute of limitations, of course, which for me is shortly after it hits video. At a certain point, if you want to be surprised, you need to be proactive and actually see the film. So, I’ll say “Bruce Willis is a ghost” a [...]
