I read a report out of Hollywood yesterday that the casting of Superman for the Justice League film may have be decided. Rupert Evans. I’ll be honest. The first time I read that, I misread it at “Rupert Everett.” And, I can safely say, I absolutely did not see Rupert Everett as the Man ofContinue reading “On the New Superman”

On Weird Fandom Questions
Stolen from novelist David McIntee: Name six of your fandoms without looking below the cut, then answer the questions. Okie-day! I’m interpretting “fandom” broadly—I like bands, I like books, I like television shows. So, broad definitions here. My six are: Hellboy The Beatles Doctor Who The Lord of the Rings Star Trek Boston Legal AndContinue reading “On Weird Fandom Questions”
On a Crossover I Want To See
I went to the BBC’s website yesterday and downloaded some desktop wallpapers for “Blink,”, this Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who. And I was looking at some of the wallpapers and their depiction of crumbling angelic statues and their blank eyes, the craziest thought came to mind. I want a Doctor Who/Hellboy crossover. Because those statuesContinue reading “On a Crossover I Want To See”
On a Movie Meme
Snurched from Todd Kogutt, a movie meme! If I’ve seen a hundred of these, I have no life.
On Trying New Things
I’m a stout drinker, and rather than pick up my usual six pack of Guinness bottles I decided to try something different–the Beamish Irish Stout. It’s nice, slightly more bitter than the Guinness Draught, and it carries more of a kick. Also, I disassembled the cans to see what the nitrogen widgets look like. NotContinue reading “On Trying New Things”
On 2004 In Review
I saw this on David Henderson‘s LiveJournal, questions aimed at summarizing 2004. What was last year like for me? Let’s run down the list. What did you do in 2004 that you’d never done before?Visit Florida. I’d always wanted to go, and this year the company’s annual managers’ conference was held in Orlando. Did youContinue reading “On 2004 In Review”
Warped, One More Time
A series of brutal, motiveless murders aboard station Deep Space Nine leads to Odo’s investigation of a new batch of holosuite technology that appears to have the ability to reshape the user’s perception of reality. I won’t really defend Warped, because oftentimes when I do I feel like I spend my time trying to explainContinue reading “Warped, One More Time”
Movie Night!
We may do a Movie Night at work in the next few weeks. I wouldn’t call Movie Night a tradition. More like an occasional happening, getting together as much of the staff as wants to go after work and going to see a film. We’ve done it twice. The last time it came off wellContinue reading “Movie Night!”
Van Helsing
Friday afternoon I asked people, several times over, what they thought of Van Helsing as they left the theatre. “Better than Hellboy!” some said. “Better than LXG!” others said. I loved Hellboy, enjoyed LXG for the most part. It seemed, then, that my fears that Van Helsing would reveal itself as a disaster were unfounded.Continue reading “Van Helsing”
The Van Helsing trailer
The first time I saw the Van Helsing trailer, when I went to see Hellboy for the first time, I thought the movie looked to have some promise. One of my employees thought Jackman had too much of an Amish look to him; I tried to explain that no, that’s not an Amish look, andContinue reading “The Van Helsing trailer”
