    Is there any decent Horror or Dark Fantasy Anime?

    I'd suggest staying away from Devil Lady (aka, Devilman Lady, aka, Lady Devilman). As the name would suggest, it's more or less a female version of Devilman. It starts off well enough, very dark and moody, but then suddenly changes at the end. The original characters are pushed to the side...

    Essentials & Showcase Wishlist

    I've become a fan of Marvel and DC's Essential and Showcase collections. I wasn't initially thrilled by the cheap paper and lack of color, but the huge page count and cheap price, not to mention the fact that we're seeing series that probably wouldn't see print in any other form (Son of Satan...

    Metacritic Ratings for new fall shows

    I'll add: Flash Gordon 35 Torchwood 74 (And the "User" rating for Flash is only a 1.6 out of 10)

    Rate 300

    Totally agree with this. I thought the comic was okay, nothing incredible, but the movie just felt flat. :\

    New Highlander (TV) Movie

    Sweet baby Jesus on a pogostick, that was bad! Cannibals?! Are you kidding me? And who actually thought that the superspeed element was a good idea? The script was terrible, the director doesn't know how to shoot an action acene, the music sucks, and the editing...Dear Lord, the editing...

    Thundarr the Barbarian dvd?

    I totally agree with you about Blackstar. I had such fond memories of that as a kid, I pre-ordered the DVD when heard it was being released. It's still sitting on my shelf with half the episodes unwatched (and I had to force myself to sit through the half I did watch). It was interesting to...

    Anime Recommendations

    Lupin the 3rd: Castle Of Cagliostro, directed by Miyazaki. Supposedly, it's one of Spielberg's favorite movies. It's sweet and harmless, so your wife should enjoy it, but still has a great deal of action and adventure. If you liked Castle, there are two boxsets of Lupin films. However, as...

    New Highlander (TV) Movie

    I wanted to watch it, but Torchwood was on at the same time, so I programmed my VCR to tape the late night showing. Unfortunately, I lost power. It still taped at the right time, but the TV reset to Cartoon Network and I ended up with old Astro Boy reruns. :\ Was it really that bad? I...

    Flash Gordon

    I was looking around the old interweb for any reviews of this episode. I didn't find any, but I did stumble upon a couple of old reviews that brought about an epiphany. We all know the new characterization of Ming is, to say the least, off. A lot of people describe him as an accountant, but...

    Flash Gordon

    I gave up on Flash two weeks ago, but I had to tune in last night once I saw those Hawkmen. Wow. That was...wow... Top 5 moments on the show: 5.) Mongo. I know they're trying to do the show as cheaply as they can, but should you really farm out your FX work to the local 7th grade computer...

    Dresden Files done?

    To slightly hijack this thread, does anyone know what will be replacing Painkiller Jane? There are only 2 more new episodes left.

    Flash Gordon

    When I saw the "hawkman" flap his cape and yell, "Caw!", I remembered something Bruce Timm said way back when the Batman cartoon first began. He was asked about which characters will and won't appear on the show. When asked about Killer Moth, he said, "The only way we'll use him is if we can...

    Dexter on Direct TV

    If you have Direct TV, you can watch the 1st season of the Showtime series "Dexter" for free on ch. 101 and 334 (both are called "Channel 101"), weeknights at 8pm. That channel is usually used for free concerts (although they did have a Troma movie marathon last Halloween). For some reason...

    The Film Crew DVDs - Any good?

    I have both Hollywood After Dark and Killers From Space, and they are both a lot of fun. The opening set up is different. Instead of Mike and the Bots forced to watch bad movies, Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy are just blue collar Joes whose job it is to add commentary to "every...

    Dresden Files done?

    Yeah, I heard PKJ was cancelled. And I read somewhere that Flash is getting lower ratings than the late night repeat of Dr. Who (and what's sad is that that's still better than what PKJ is pulling in). :lol:

    Non-Superhero Books

    I don't collect that many comics anymore, and the only one that I get that definitely isn't superhero is Jonah Hex, a western. If you close one eye and squint, you might be able to include Newuniversal, which deals with superhuman people in the "real world" (kind of like TV's "Heroes")...

    Steriods in sports

    Personally, I think the WWE has been in need of a "witch hunt" for a long time now. Pro wrestling has turned a blind eye to drugs for too long and let big name performers slide on drug tests. When Scott Steiner returned to the WWE, he was asked to take a steroid test. He said he would only if...

    Flash Gordon

    Well, here's some good news. I read over on the Sci-Fi Channel forums (where, btw, the vast majority seem to hate the show, too) that the ratings haven't been very good. The pilot scored 2.1 million viewers and a 1.5 rating. Week two only pulled in 1.4 million people. I'm not sure what that...
