Trailer Watch: Interactive Scott Pilgrim vs The World Trailer
Yeah I know, you might be getting sick of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World related posts, but movies that so personify geek/music/twenty-something culture don’t come along very often, at least not with the pedigree that this one has. A new i-trailer for the film is up, and it’s a great introduction to the series if [...]

Trailer Watch: Sucker Punch and our first full look at The Goon
My own computer troubles continue, but Zack Snyder might want to back away from his for a moment as we have finally gotten a look at his anime-reference-and-CGI-drenched Sucker Punch. Set in the 1950s, Sucker Punch follows Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her [...]

Keeping Tabs, SDCC Edition: Helen Mirren loves Harvey Pekar, and more
Until a miracle happens and I’m able to justify spending gobs of money to go, it’s highly unlikely that I’m going to be able to provide the kind of coverage of Comic Con (aka “Nerd Prom”) or any other major geekfest that you deserve. However, what I can do now and going forward is to [...]

RIP: American Splendor creator Harvey Pekar (1939-2010)
When news broke on Monday that American Splendor creator Harvey Pekar was found dead in his Cleveland Heights, Ohio home, I wrote via Twitter: “I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting him in person, but [Pekar] is and will always be an inspiration to struggling creators.” Pekar is best-known for the pioneering comics series American [...]

Keeping Tabs: Avatar sequel unlikely to win animation Oscars, and other stories

The Fitting In Room: New Wonder Woman
Forgive me, kids – when I saw that Wonder Woman had her costume updated, I went on a bender that has lasted this past week. I am here now – sober, conscious, and am no longer allowed back in Honduras. But that’s another story. From a New York Times article: The new look — with [...]

Trisha’s Video of the Day: The Swingin’ Spider-Man
While I am not a total dance geek or nerd, I loved watching the ballroom dance competitions on my local PBS affiliate as a kid; Strictly Ballroom is one of my favorite movies as a result of this childhood fascination as well. The best part of watching the ballroom dance competitions were the exhibition dances [...]

Trisha’s Link of the Day: Holy mix of parody and sex, Batman!
Back in May, the Internet was a-buzz with the release of the Batman XXX: A Porn Parody trailer. And while I’d normally link it here because I’m not a prude and I’m assuming you all are adults, I won’t because even if the version on the BoingBoing site is totally “safe for work,” I still [...]

Scott Pilgrim Yourself with the new avatar creator
In a move that is becoming pretty common with movies that have a unique art style (Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean both had them), Scott Pilgrim vs The World has its own avatar creator. And it actually works pretty well. It has a comprehensive set of options that you can select from. That’s mine over [...]
