  • Elongated Man Speaks!

    No, that’s not the title to Ralph’s autobiography. I’m referring to Elongated Man finally getting a speaking role in Justice League Unlimited. It was also cool hearing Billy West as Skeets. (I’ve missed Skeets in the comics. Maybe they’ll bring him back now, since everything in the DCU has to match the cartoons.) Jeremy Piven,…

  • Team America trailer is up!

    The Team America full trailer is up! Is it just me, or does one guy say the Klingon expression “Q’plah!” at one point? (All right, Klingon speakers, I probably spelled it wrong. Phonetically it is kuh-plah.)

  • Aquaman’s Bogus Journey

    The Comic Reel reports: Former CBR scribe Rob Worley emailed the Comic Reel with a tip from one of his vast network of spies. Allegedly, DC’s lord of the seas is getting the cinematic treatment, courtesy of producers Alan and Peter Riche and writer Ben Grant. Rob’s source said, “They want this Aquaman to be…

  • Mark Steyn on Hellboy

    SteynOnScreen reviews Hellboy (which he just saw on DVD, I’m guessing). He also hits The Village hard, swings the praises of Spider-Man 2 and manages a review of Fahrenheit 9/11 that sidesteps the political differences and looks at how it works as a movie.

  • Welcome gottlieb!

    Seth is joining Monitor Duty! Welcome, welcome. Who else wants to join? As some of our contributors have moved on to such things as comic book work and defending our country, we’ll need some more people prowling the web for comic book, TV and movie news and rendering helpful comment upon it. If interested, be…

  • Bill Murray’s next smart comedy

    The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou looks interesting. Interesting in the sense that it could be a bizarre hit or a huge misfire. The plot appears to be about a Jaques Cousteau-ish underwater researcher who decides to embark on a mission to track down and kill a shark that ate a member of his team.…

  • What is Mike Grell’s “it’s about time” project?

    FilmForce’s 10 Questions for Mike Grell includes this: 9. What is your next project? I have a project that’s scheduled to be announced next week at the Baltimore show, so, if you can wait that long, you can get all the details. At this moment, I can’t reveal anything until the publisher makes their press…

  • FINALLY: The Chuck Dixon western

    Wyatt Earp: Dodge City has been announced for January, which means I need to get it on my pull list. Shooting Star Comics Anthology #1 featured an 8-page western from the same team of writer Chuck Dixon and artist Enrique Villagran, and if anyone wants to see what these guys can do together they should…

  • Another lying documentary

    I’m kidding. Paper Clips looks like a really good movie, and it is an actual documentary. I wanted to follow with a smart-alecky comment, but I honestly don’t know how filmmakers could distort the truth to reflect an opinion in making a documentary about a school collecting six million paper clips to try to get…

  • The world’s most obvious setup line

    Michael Moore has announced that he will not seek the “Best Documentary” Oscar for Fahrenheit 9/11 because he’d rather the film could air on television before the election. Given that his film is certainly a shoo-in for the award (given that it’s a meager category and the movie industry is by no means non-partisan), it…
