Just gonna leave this here, because it’s awesome (there may be something spoilery, if you squint enough): It’s the feelgood show of the season.

I really don’t have loads to talk about, but life continues to happen around me, and occasionally, I even get to take part in some of it. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been rehearsing with the second incarnation of the guitar ensemble I occasionally play with – slightly different, more diverse group this […]

So, as most of you know, I’m really a Marvel comics guy. DC never quite clicked with me the way that the house that Jack, Steve, and Stan built did. That said, there’s a lot to like in the following: In the latest trailer for Man of Steel, the filmmakers seem to have really hit […]

It’s an interesting time to be a comics fan, friends. Check out these recently posted over at images (and some video) over at io9 relating to Marvel’s “Phase Two” slate of films, starting with Iron Man 3 next month. There’s stuff from Thor: Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier, a couple of shots of the […]

I was in a place where it was possible for me to watch the season premiere of Game of Thrones last night, which was nice…I’m usually a year behind. Of course, given how damned tired I was last night, I still ended up snoozing through a bunch of it. I’ll catch up eventually. I enjoyed […]

I started “reading” (well, listening to Wil Wheaton performing the text of) Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One this week. I’m only a handful of discs in, but I’m really enjoying it. It’s pretty much pure, condensed nostalgia – aimed pretty much dead center at the culture of my childhood (the pop culture of the 1980s […]

Other than the pope business, the big news in my corner of the internet yesterday was Rob “not the Matchbox 20 guy” Thomas’s Kickstarter to fund a Veronica Mars movie project. That this is even kind of a possibility is great news, because I loved me some Veronica Mars. In spite of it’s occasional flaws*, […]

Wish I had more to say…life’s been interesting, in a mentally and physically taxing sort of way, but not a lot going on worth blogging about. I’ll spare you my misery surrounding economic uncertainty, national politics, timing not lining up the way I want it to, and occasional buyer’s remorse. Rather than doing that, I’m […]

Reporting here from the beginning of a four day weekend – took Friday off, which is mostly just taunting myself about the fact that I no longer have every Friday off. Doesn’t matter, I got to sleep in this morning. No huge plans for the weekend – gotta help load in some set pieces for […]

If Firefly’s ever going to come back (for Christmas or otherwise), perhaps this might be the best way to do it, given the fact the show’s been off the air for ten years now, and the tight pants might be too tight these days. An animated series would pretty much be appointment television for many […]
