The 2009 Nebula Award Nominees: Here They Are

The official announcement is here. With apologies for the lazy formatting. My italicizing finger is tired.

At Last, A Splinter Cell: Conviction Trailer

It’s been a long time coming, but we finally get to see what Sam Fisher has been up to in the oft-delayed Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction. Turns out he’s been busy. Die-Hard-24-and-Lethal-Weapon-all-rolled-into-one-busy. From the looks of the new trailer, this “stealth action” game seems to double-down on action at the expense of stealth. Though [...]

Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s miniseries Kick-Ass is, as the cover of the collected edition that came out this week indicates, “now a major motion picture”–or will be when the movie opens in April.

Shutter Island Author Muses on Scorsese’s Ghost Tale

Most Martin Scorsese films are ghost stories – no, not paranormal thrillers, but meditations on those memories and nightmares that haunt our psyches. Whether we’re talking guilt, remorse, regret, longing…his films are very much about people struggling to tread water in turbulent seas. Case in point: The Departed, for which he received the directing Oscar, [...]
