This is a tough call. A really tough call. And personally, I want this to work. But I’ve been burned before. I was burned in 2005, when the first big-budget Fantastic Four movie hit theaters. This was going to be the big one. This was going to take the greatest superhero family from the comic…

Peanuts si, Dilbert no
By now you’ve heard that Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, has been dropped by nearly every newspaper that used to run his comic – and was also dropped by his distribution syndicate.

Read MoreNow HERE’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover I’ve been waiting for …
Last year, I totally fangeeked over the Spider-Man: No Way Out film. The movie found a way to weave together the last three Spider-Man actors into one cohesive and totally action-packed film.

Last night, I was in my car. There was no other traffic on the road. I made my turn. And then suddenly, a car came from out of nowhere and smashed into the front left corner of my Chevrolet. I saw minimal damage. But there was enough to barely limp the car to a nearby…

Okay, follow me on this. In 2002, Sony Pictures – who currently holds the rights to Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man, as well as all associated characters, released a blockbuster motion picture. It starred Tobey Maguire as the web-slinger, against Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin. A few years later, the even more popular Spider-Man 2 came…

Hurry! Only five more Batmobiles left!!
About ten years ago, I blogged about a company in Indiana, Fiberglass Freaks, who take regular cars and customize them into replicas of the Batmobile from 1966-69 Batman TV series.ย Originally the Batmobile from the show was a Lincoln Futura concept car, and was heavily customized from its original look to become the legendary supercar…
