Ryan Reynolds and the Green Lantern Oath

Jay Alan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:52:54 +0000

I’m pretty excited about the upcoming DC film, Green Lantern, not only because it’s a departure from endless Superman and Batman films, but because Green Lantern was honestly one of my childhood favorites. I have to admit I was a bit worried about Ryan Reynolds in the part of Hal Jordon, not because I don’t [...]

The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-21-10 (Comicon Round-up Edition)

Etta — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:56:34 +0000

Well, I was all set to give you a pick of the week this week, but that was before I forgot that this week was Comicon. And while there were some good books released this week, all the great things “announced” (let’s not kid ourselves, a lot of this was rumored or known to those [...]

Yesterday at the annual San Diego Comic Con, Mattel revealed the new line up for their highly popular, internet-exclusive "Masters of the Universe" toys (you can see pics of the new figures here). I've talked about this line before on the podcast several times and how much I both love it and hate it: I love it because it's so awesome and the figures are amazing, I hate it because of its very high price and difficulty to obtain on sale day. Well, long story short, I had resolved to quit this line after the month of August when (Orko and Trapjaw are released). Well, forget that.

It’s Hard Out Here for a Sith Lord

It’s not every day you see Darth Vader rob a bank. Then again, it’s not every day you see a Sith Lord use a pistol intstead of a lightsaber. Times are tough all around. Via: BoingBoing

The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-14-10

Etta — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:06:58 +0000

A decent-sized week of releases this week, with a couple great reads, and a surprising one that topped my stack to win pick of the week. While another came close (Avengers Academy #2), it was only fair for one to get the nod. Your pick this week is Brave and the Bold #35. To be [...]

‘Arrested Development’ Movie Is Definitely Happening, Say Will Arnett and Mitch Hurwitz

Jay Alan — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 12:01:22 +0000

Is it true? Could it be, at last, that someone is listening? Do we even want it to happen at this point? Oh, the questions I have! From MovieFone: Yes, it’s true: According to GQ, both star Will Arnett and Mitch Hurwitz, creator of the beloved cult Fox sitcom, have verified that their highly anticipated [...]

The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-8-10

Etta — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 20:31:54 +0000

A huge week of releases this week, on top of a day late shipping day due to the holiday. All this equals my not having a pick of the week for you. Instead, I’m going to cheat and provide a visual list of books I bought, and leave it up to the readers to provide [...]

Jay Alan — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:59:38 +0000

Did you know that Starz has original programing? We didn’t, until two weeks ago when we discovered Party Down, a funny, quirky comedy that Starz promptly canceled as soon as we started watching it! We’ll talk about this, along with reviews of, Toy Story 3, The Road, Hot Tub Time Machine, The Blind Side, Justice [...]

Naked “Bike-Man” arrested in Cedar Rapids!

Jason Walter — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:41:15 +0000

It appears a naked man, riding a bicycle, was arrested last night in Cedar Rapids (you can read the official story HERE). The area he was found in just happens to be roughly the same place Jay and I had our infamous encounter with a "Bike Man" some 15 years ago. Now, given this kid's age, it obviously wasn't the same guy, but I found it funny nonetheless.
