Slate of DC Comics movies announced at Friday convention
For most of my life, it was true that DC Comics had the best movies, whereas Marvel’s attempts at doing other media resulted in embarrassing garbage that ended up straight to video or hidden in vaults. But for the last decade, while DC has turned out camp Batman & Robin, Steel and Catwoman (we won’t…
Cheap Trek (didn’t they sing “Dream Police”?)
There’s good news for all of the Trekkies who don’t have the money to buy 28 season box sets at $100 each. There are now “Fan Collective” box sets which group episodes around a theme. Unofficially, this was started with the Jean-Luc Picard Collection. Pardon the banner ad, but it was a faster way to…

BitTorrent is used to exchange illegal DVD rips and music files, and that’s bad. It’s also used to exchange copyrighted works that aren’t available on DVD, and that’s still illegal but not without some merit. And here’s a great example of that. The footage from September 11th, 2001, has been kept off TV for years,…
“Return to the Batcave” is on DVD?
I didn’t realize you could buy “Return to the Batcave.” This was a TV movie which seemed to have a multiple personality syndrome, but it was a lot of fun. It details the making of the 1968 Batman TV show in flashbacks, and that part is played straight while focusing on such silliness as Burt…
