Too often Marvel and DC will do a huge crossover among all their books, or within a certain subset of their books, and it'll mean nothing except to sell more books. 2011's Fear Itself was big example of one of these crossovers that in the end, meant nothing in the grand scheme of the comic universe it took place in. However, there are some crossovers that are done that end up changing the comic ... more.

After the massive success of James Cameron's Avatar a few years ago, Hollywood has seen that if you trust a filmmaker to produce their own vision of scifi without studio interference, the results can be both profitable and adored by the public. So now, everyone wants to have their own billion-dollar genre hit, which means everyone is green-lighting scifi and fantasy hits to try to get a piece of... more.

As we get ever closer to the release date of Men in Black 3 on Blu-Ray and DVD on November 30th, I have been considering the threads that hold all three movies together as a complete narrative. I believe that the films can be thematically split into three different basic questions, and also that answering each of these questions is vital to the enjoyment of each of the films. Men in Black 3 w... more.

Hollywood's favorite thing these days is to remake movies, and it seems like they have their sights set directly on the 80s and 90s to mine ideas from. Instead of championing original movies and ideas, it's easier for them to remake The Thing, Fright Night, Total Recall, Red Dawn, and Robocop. Before they really get out of hand, there are some movies that absolutely should never be remade. Here ... more.

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of Marvel's Spider-Man. On August 15th, 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15 hit the newsstands, and the world was introduced to Peter Parker and Spider-Man for the first time. Fifty years, and hundreds of comic issues later, Spidey is one of the most popular superheroes in the world. Over these first fifty years, there have been some pretty huge events that shaped our favor... more.

My favorite television show of all time is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year, and in addition to making me feel old as I can remember watching the original airings of these episodes; they're celebrating it by kicking off the Blu-Ray release of the entire series. Season One of Star Trek: The Next Generation more.

So it's that time of year again. Beginning today, hundreds of thousands of geeks, fanboys, and fangirls will descent upon the San Diego Convention center for four days (and one preview night) of pop culture overload. As usual, we're there with technology in hand, and like last year we'll be doing our damnest to liveblog directly from the show. Photos and live news right from the big panels will be... more.

Ever since Richard Donner directed Superman in 1978, Superhero movies have always been big. While Marvel didn’t really hit it big until the late 90’s with Bryan Singer’s X-Men, DC was there with the Supes and Batman movies. Now, more than thirty years after Donner’s Superman there are tons of superhero movies. But what are the ten best? We've done this list in the past, but since the... more.

This list will be controversial as there are still people who really enjoy The Old Repbulic, but it's impossible to ignore the facts. The game is bleeding subscribers with not a single increase in player numbers since the initial subscription figures were announced back when most players were still on their free month. As a result, BioWare is already having to consolidate servers, and some featu... more.

NASA is painfully underfunded these days, which basically eliminated the manned space program and reduced America to a third world country. Russia, China, and other countries are flying humans in space on a regular basis while Florida is struggling to find jobs for 100,000 people displaced when NASA ended the Shuttle Program and their budget was slashed. Yet in these dark times for space buf... more.
