He wrote and drew exuberant, joyful stories that made clear his love for the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, and he will be … Continue reading Farewell to Darwyn Cooke
Yesterday was May the Fourth (be with you), today is the...Revenge of the Fifth! I didn't make that up, think I heard it on Facebook. In nine days, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith will be 11 years old. I remember the sense of finality at the time, and the realization that this would be … Continue reading Revenge of the Fifth: The Episode III concept art of Ryan Church
May the Fourth be with you, SpaceStationWagoners! You like that triple feature poster from the UK I got you? Dig the double dose of Lando and Luke! And get a load of Bib Fortuna, hanging out next to the heroes like he's people. I also got you this ridiculous album from the height of Star … Continue reading May the Fourth be with you!
Unless you live under a rock (or you're just not into scifi or Star Wars, which is inexcusable) you've probably seen the trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. There was this whole post about it on an awesome blog too, with lots of screenshots. Seeing classic Imperial Stormtroopers running around in all their doofy, … Continue reading “New” Stormtroopers in Star Wars: Rogue One
Today is Aliens Day! Not because it's the exact 30th anniversary of the movie's release (that would be July 18th of this year), but because it's 4/26! Like...like LV-426 the planet. Get it? So kick back, relax, put an Alien movie in the DVD player, and pop open a can of delicious Weylan(d) Yutani Aspen … Continue reading Happy Aliens Day
Watch a bitchy space rock tell the Enterprise's science officer all about the Magnavox Laserdisc player, a revolution in home video that will surely endure for centuries (is Magnavox even a thing anymore?)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4pBk3-fduU "Gourmet video; for people who know and love video."
Spoiler Free! Last week the trailer for Rogue One hit Youtube. I've been leery of the idea of Star Wars anthology movies since they were announced last year; I worry they will make the trilogies less special and I don't want the release of a Star Wars movie to feel routine (Disney wants to put … Continue reading I got Screenshots of and Opinions on Star Wars: Rogue One
I've fallen down the rabbit hole of Star Trek: The Motion Picture collectibles. Part of it is my genuine appreciation of the movie and what it was trying to do (which was to be 2001: A Space Odyssey), but I'm also fascinated by the huge merchandising push that came along with it. The first Star … Continue reading Questionable Collectibles – Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Before you ask "why the hell are you using Bing???" ...my phone's browser has that hardwired in as the search feature. Also (THE AMAZING) Spider-Man uses Bing. Garry Shandling recently passed away (RIP Mr. Shandling) and I was trying to find a picture of him as Senator Stern, the douchey government official/member of HYDRA from … Continue reading If you type “Senator” into Bing Image Search, the seventh picture is a Squidhead senator from Star Wars
