Over at Dixonverse, they’re discussing a topic I’ve been thinking about for a while: Geoff Johns seeming to go overboard with the material from a number of Alan Moore stories. While I like much of what has been happening…indeed, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps are the ONLY DC Comic books I still buy… this…

Video game review coming: “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra”
We will be posting a review of “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”. Watch this space!
Beautiful new Tron Legacy trailer
Actually, this is billed as an SFX test, but this trailer is amazing. Bruce Boxleitner is in this, too! Excellent. Here’s a point for discussion: I actually appreciate trailers like this, featuring a single exciting scene to get your curiosity, rather than the rapid flashing Blipverts of dozens of moments from the movie.

R.I.P. John Hughes (Updated)
Here’s the first celebrity death in a long time that has truly hit me hard: John Hughes, writer, director, producer, is dead at 59 of a heart attack. The films he was involved in reads like a greatest hits of the 1980s list: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Home Alone, Trains, Planes and Automobiles, She’s Having…
WASFen Convention report
This last Saturday, I attended the 3rd annual WASFen convention. That’s the Wausau Area Science Fiction Enthusiasts. Organizer Evan Cass invited me to be a Guest of Honor after meeting me at last year’s Wizard World. I found it to be a fun time, with several hundred attendees to the one-day convention. It gets off…
