This follows on the heels of his riotous movie about dog shows, Best in Show, and his earlier film about a small town play that hopes to go to Broadway, Waiting for Guffman. Highlights of A Mighty Wind include all…

Marvel for December

Marvel solicitations for December are out. The big news is Ultimate Fantastic Four. But…Reed Richards is a “high school genius”? C’mon…are today’s kids totally unable to empathize with someone in his 20s or 30s?

Reality shows even work as comics!

I hadn’t realized that Todd Nauck’s Casting Call had sold out! Again, I do have to wonder about all of the sellout issues of late. Seems like it could be explained as a lot of low orders so that vendors could free up cash for issues of JLA/Avengers, but that’s just a guess…and allegedly these…

Bruce Campbell on Spidey 2

Bruce Campbell, the ring announcer in the first Spider-Man film and a “snooty usher” in the second, is confirming that star Tobey Maguire is fit enough to play Spider-Man in the sequel.

MD Site Improvements

A month or so ago, I tried making all of the archives resemble this main page, and ending up screwing up the code. So I’m being a little more cautious this time. You will note that the individual archive entries are better this time. You can read the “email this to a friend” fields now…
