What do we think about this Vertigo adaption? Pretty decent cast with Zoe Saldana, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Comedian from Watchmen), Chris Evans (Johnny Storm from F4) and a slew of others. The Losers is out April 9. According to IMDB, the plot is as follows: “After being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root …

Things I Didn’t Know Existed Until Today: Technotise
So I didn’t find anything over the weekend that caught me off guard or I didn’t already know about. But late last night, a tipster sent over a fan made trailer for a live action version of Aleksa Gajić and Darko Grkinić’s Serbian comic Technotise. I know nothing about this comic or the animated sequel, Technotise: Edit & I …
Gone With the Wind … With Vampires
This is great.
In the vein of the clever sci-fi/classic mashup Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes this faux film trailer, Gone With the Wind With Vampires.
Yeah, Rhett Butler’s a vampire – and he still doesn’t give a damn.

The Best Review of ‘Avatar’ I’ve Ever Seen
Sick of Avatar yet? Good, because you’re going to want to see this.
This two-part Avatar analysis is half rant, half film facade breakdown. More than a comical comparison of James Cameron’s block busting techniques, it breaks down the plots, sub plots and character development to explain why the entire world has been sucked under the …

DVD Exclusive: Zombieland’s Cynical Survivors
Zombieland!
Until we finally get our Pride and Prejudice and Zombies epic, then I guess we’ll just have to settle for this – the hilarious accidental zombie road trip, pairing the armed-and-insane Tallahassee with the terrified, timid Columbus. It was a fun time in the theaters – right up there with Shaun of the Dead, in …
New Comics for 2/3/10
Here’s the list of all the comics that are supposed to ship on Wednesday. I say supposed to because I’ve been reading rumors that a truck carrying certain Marvel titles crashed on its way to the Diamond distributor.

Yet another show that I’m going to have to DVR. I just wish my Verizon FiOS HD DVR didn’t have a puny 160GB HDD.
Reaction Time: Caprica Returns, Zoe Awakens, Mommy Goes Berserk
Wow – talk about the worst memorial service ever.
Caprica is now officially back in action, pushing beyond that first pilot with a story that was less about the building of Cylons and the conspiring of two fathers to resurrect avatars of their dead daughters than about how in the wake of a tragedy, everything has started falling …
