A-Team Losers

So, this morning – thanks to Netflix – I re-watched Joe Carnahan’s the A-Team, with Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and – a personal favourite – Jessica Biel. When I was a kid, I watched the Read more…


Gen Con: First Thoughts

And so I’ve returned from Gen Con. I had a great time travelling with Chris Bullock (settings editor on Centurion), Chris Groff (mechanics editor on Centurion), and Rob Wakefield (graphic designer for Centurion). The flight back wasn’t too much fun, Read more…


Reform School Ninja Girls

Do you know about the Dino-Pirates of Ninja Island? If not, you need to acquaint yourself with it. But not right now. Right now you need to head on over the Reform School Ninja Girls page at Indiegogo and put Read more…

Not Guarding My Galaxy

According to leaked information from an upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly, Marvel movies in the pipe include Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Inhumans. Of those, the one I’m both most excited for and dreading the most is the Read more…


Dead Wolverine Pool

For a while there, it looked like the Wolverine might have been the movie I wanted X-Men Origins: Wolverine to have been. Now, that’s falling apart. First, the director, Darren Aronofsky, left the project. Then natural disasters and their aftermath Read more…


Zodagorn and a Hot Martha Kent?

A couple of pieces of Superman casting news leave me conflicted. First off, apparently Viggo Mortensen, Aragorn from Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings adaptations, is in talks—or may even have signed—to play Zod, the villain for the Superman movie Read more…
