GRAEME: I agree, to an extent, but I think Cornell addresses that in the story itself. This isn’t “regular” Lex, but a Lex who’s off because of his post-Orange Ring need that’s making him desperate and rash, instead of his usual manipulative genius self. It might be a weak excuse to write the character Cornell wants, but it’s one I’m …
Leave it to the man behind The Evil Dead, Darkman and the two good Spider-Man movies – yes, I know he made the third one, I just like to pretend it doesn’t exist is all, okay? – to be behind a movie that sounds like it’s based on the greatest toy line never made. Vulture is reporting that Raimi will produce but not direct a movie …

Remember when Google Street View launched in 2007? Countless hours were spent exploring the streets of NYC, Miami, Denver, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Some folks got pissy over privacy issues and others were caught with their pants down or something like that. Didn’t one of the Street View cars capture a crime in progress or …
What happens when two creators whose work you admire team up for a project that sounds, at best, like an ill-considered idea? I’m about to find out, with the news that Pushing Daisies‘ Bryan Fuller may be rebooting The Munsters for NBC, with Guillermo del Toro taking some kind of behind the scenes position on the series.

Looks like TaintDroid just stole the Worst Recent Product Name award away from the Dell Streak. Once you get past the name, though, TaintDroid (that’s hard to type, even) may turn out to be a valuable app for Android owners.
It’s not quite available publicly yet, but the application will run in the background of an Android phone and

Digg founder Kevin Rose might not regret his choices, but he is definitely recognizing them.
Rose admitted at TCDisrupt that he hated his five month foray as company CEO. From what he said, it seems that he’s definitely not a Michael Scott.
“I think of myself as a PM [product manager] and creative director, so it was hard being a …
What’s arguably my favorite game of all time (challenged only by Rez) will be coming back shinier than ever for the current crop of consoles. How much do I love Beyond Good & Evil? I have the soundtrack on my iPod and it’s one of four or five games that I actually kept from the PS2 era. It’s actually the reason that I have hung …
The question on everyone’s mind this past summer – well besides, “what came first the chicken or the egg?” – has been “did the spinning top drop at the end of Inception?”
SPOILERS AHEAD
Cinesnobs and other pretentious movie elite maintain that the true ending can only be revealed by Christopher Nolan, and he’s not getting tired of …
Funny thing about the Apple TV box that just came out. It appears that the underlying interface is just one big application called “Lowtide,” according to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW):
“Apple TV seems to run Lowtide, an application responsible for all user interactions, which is derived from the previous Front Row application.

And we’re back! Didn’t go anywhere. Just wanted to say it. It’s time for Panel of the Week once again. As I sit here trying to break in my new Rainbow sandals that I didn’t even know came in size ‘effing huge’ to fit my Ronald McDonalds I’m trying pick out those moments in this week’s comics that have got that special something. I don’t …
