July 4, 2013 3:30 am I'm commenting as a bookmark on my profile. Definitely want to pick up the Brubaker aNd Remender books in fall.

June 14, 2013 8:01 pm I'm glad Paul called out some of the humanity and mortality with Perry risking his life to save his colleague (even with death looming). The sacrifices of some of the other key human players also gave a bit of pathos to it, but yeah for the most part it's Superman, Zod, Faora, etc. destroying non-descript buildings. This Metropolis really felt generic. Even Singer's version tried to embrace some classic art deco features with the Daily Planet. This architecture was truly just there to be obliterated. I think they could give Cavill and Adams more to do now that the Lois/Clark dynamic is set up for the sequel. Yeah, just a strange introduction for them here that doesn't quite work.

June 12, 2013 5:55 pm Plus we get that great exchange in Superman II in the Oval Office. Demoralized president kneeling "Oh God." The smug general corrects him "Zod".

June 11, 2013 8:16 pm Don't tell me what razor I can use to shave my beard! Only Superman can tell me that.

May 13, 2013 4:39 pm The speculation is it might be Rage from the New Warriors? Hmmm...

April 29, 2013 2:51 pm All New X-Men 11 Age of Ultron 7 BQ: the new film from director Olivier Assyas about the student revolutions in France in 1968, "Something in the Air". Very excited by a lot of the stuff from independent directors I love like Richard Linklater, Sofia Coppola, etc.

April 23, 2013 11:07 pm Moon Knight- an A lister according to Patton Oswalt's Parks and Rec rant last week. Haha.

April 11, 2013 12:06 am Again, it's not just the writer of Saga jumping the gun bashing Apple. Apple is restrictive in the content available in its store that is sexually explicit. There's a larger problem here that affects Apple and other media vendors who have no problem selling material with explicit or glorified violence, but balk at explicit depictions of sexuality. Apple doesn't bear the sole responsibility for the double standard in our society, and Vaughn deserves props for not shying away from such content. Yeah, jumping the gun and calling a person or company homophobic is a mistake. But the larger issue is the policy that limits sexual content in media. What's wrong, indeed...

April 10, 2013 3:23 pm A lot of us assmed it was Apple's fault. Apple has had a history of this before. There was a controversy last year when the 2011 film "Shame" was omitted from iTunes availability because of its NC-17 rating (for its sexual content). Again explicitly violent films will be rated R and will be made available for digital download, but the double standard for explicit sexual content by the ratings board is being reinforced by media providers like Apple. People jumped to conclusions this time, but it wasn't a complete leap in logic.
