SPOILERS FOR THE END OF X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE FOLLOW: Well dang. If my mouth wasn’t sewn shut in a Weapon X experiment, I’d stick my foot in it. I really wasn’t expecting this to actually happen: Twentieth Century Fox has begun development on “Deadpool,” an “X-Men” spinoff that will be crafted as a star vehicle […]
It’s kind of a sad fact, but most fans typically venture into their franchise’s “expanded universe.” Some of the biggest fans of Star Wars haven’t picked up Timothy Zahn’s excellent “Heir to the Empire” series, which (I think) makes a pretty darn good follow up to the original trilogy. A good number of people who […]
It’s Cinco de Mayo and Star Trek Week, which got me to thinking about all of those great Star Trek characters of Mexican heritage. That rich, bold… er … history of… umm… Were there any Mexican members of Starfleet? I consulted the Star Trek Encyclopedia and found an Ensign Lopez whose only noteworthy mention was […]
Dom DeLuise always made me laugh. He was a welcome figure in many comedies of the seventies and eighties. Often associated with Burt Reynolds, he appeared as Captain Chaos in Cannon Ball Run and in many other Reynolds films. According to reports coming from TMZ.com, DeLuise passed away last night. He was recently hospitalized for […]
I think IDW may have done more with Star Trek than any other company in recent memory. Marvel did a decent amount, and Malibu had their Deep Space Nine series. Wildstorm seemed like just one big wasted opportunity. However, IDW has literally flooded the market with Star Trek material and produced some pretty interesting stuff, […]
The new Star Trek score has a lot to live up to – the scores for all the original movies are all very memorable (some for good reasons, some for bad), and even the TV shows had great scores and themes (I especially love the Deep Space Nine theme). Still, with a changing of the […]
Some small spoilers for X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the following article! So, proving that his healing factor can overcome even internet piracy, Wolverine managed to defeat the naysayers and make over $87 million in its opening weekend (expect that number to drop drastically this weekend, when Star Trek opens). And, according to Variety, a sequel […]
Yesterday we chatted about the film scores for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan. Today? Everything else. Without a doubt, the weakest of the Trek scores has got to be the music for what is the most popular films of the franchise – Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You know? The […]
As a follow up to my recent article on the Burger King Star Trek promotion, after the jump is part of an official press release (you can read all of here, and find out what they’re doing for Transformers and GI Joe) that puts into more detail their plans for Trek, which began TODAY!
I don’t think of myself as a stupid person. In fact, I think I’m pretty intelligent. Still, the Star Trek Star Fleet Academy Trainer makes me feel like a blithering idiot. In a series of three pictures, where you have to find the differences between an original and a modified version (remember how easy those […]
