Finally got to see the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie last night, and I was not impressed. It’s as if they couldn’t decide what kind of movie to make, so they attempted to make them all. And it fails the most basic of tests: it just isn’t very funny.

Problem 1: The Script

Everything seems so [...]

Ah, another fun issue of JLA: Classified. At the end of the last issue, Booster Gold had wished the team into Hell. This issue, the team gets acquainted with their new surroundings and their new jobs (Hell has a burger joint!), while Guy Gardner and Power Girl mount a rescue.

We get a couple of interesting [...]

The Cartoon Network has a new show that I’m pretty excited about: Krypto the Superdog, detailing the adventures of Superman’s dog.

Now, I know I’m not anywhere close to the demographic for the show: it’s primarily aimed at the pre-school set, but I’ve never let that stop me before. Many of the same people responsible [...]

DC Comics seems intent on destroying Keith Giffen’s version of the Justice League. First, we have Identity Crisis, which killed Sue Dibny and turned the Elongated Man into a grim and gritty guy. Or whatever. I made it through an issue or so of it before ignoring it.

The reason for his success is that, unlike probably 90% of the comics out [...]

Before I got the Mac Mini (truly a wonderous machine, that), my wife and I splurged on iPods: she was the recipent of the older iPod Mini (and, yes, we bought it a little more than a month before the announcement of the new models, as is my lot in life with electronic purchases) and [...]

I freely admit to being a comic book geek. When I was younger, one of my older brothers and I would make the trek to the local store and buy the latest issue of Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth, among others.
During the late 1980s, DC Comics published a new series starring the Justice [...]

First, a little background: I normally use Windows PCs at work and at home, with a smattering of UNIX/Linux machines in both spots as well (I won’t mention my Amiga: currently squirrelled away in a closet). At work, there is a smattering of Mac users and machines around: I tend to use a G4 for [...]
