Academy Awards without screeners?
MPAA head Jack Valenti has asked that the major studios not submit screeners for the Oscars because they inevitably get into the hands of pirates. Indeed, almost every Oscar-considered movie ends up on KaZaA long before they will debut on DVD (and often enough, while the movie is still in theaters), often with “screener copy”…

Oh! It’s a NEW Return of the King Trailer!
Ahem. Eric’s post on Monday about the new Lord of the Rings trailer struck me as being very late. After all, the trailer had been available ever since it was released on the tail end of a 10-minute look at Return of the King that came with the Two Towers DVD. Ah, but Eric didn’t…

Marvel A.C.T.O.R. book
Before you check out of your comic shop this December, I hope you’ll add one more book to the pile of duplicate copies of Job Wanted that you hopefully asked them to carry. Spider-Man & The Hulk Team Up To Help A.C.T.O.R. I’m not sure what the book is titled…oddly enough, the ICv2 article doesn’t…

Augie De Blieck analyzes CrossGen
Augie’s new article on CBR, CrossGen is dead; long live CrossGen, is one of the best assessments of CrossGen, pro and con, that I’ve seen in a while. It nails a stake through a lot of Internet sniping while raising serious criticisms of its own…and praising the company where that praise is deserved. Augie has…

Fanzing guy causing trouble!
Hey, we know that guy! Scott Kurtz has pointed out that he was reviewed by Matt Morrison. Yeah, THAT Matt Morrison who wrote for Fanzing and is now a columnist at 411Comics. Matt is a good writer…and an opinionated guy, with whom I must once again disagree (as I had to in the last issue…

Fan Fiction Sickos!
Fans Take TV to the Web Are fan fiction writers just desperate, obsessed couch potatoes who can’t wait for the new TV seasons to begin, or are they lonely, pathetic sickos writing romantic fantasies about TV shows? That seems to be the scope of the fans in this news article. Oh well, maybe Fanzing will…

He made us laugh
I wasn’t aware that the man who performed “Make ’em Laugh” in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ had passed away. Then again, I never thought he was still alive. I was also surprised to learn that the Make ’em Laugh piece was largely improvised while Gene Kelly was sick. Amongst his final words: “I’d like to…
