WATCHMEN

by @ 9:20 am. Filed under Reviews, Comics, Action, Science Fiction, Cult

Well, the book(s) came out in 1986 and 1987. The movie has been in on-again, off-again production status for twenty one years. It’s been a long time coming. I remember wearing a Comedian smiley face pin back in junior high, people spraying “Who Watches The Watchmen?” graffiti in MARTA stations - kind of my generation’s version of “Frodo Lives!” How do you take the most acclaimed graphic novel of all time and make a movie of it…

I Am Legend

by @ 2:33 pm. Filed under Reviews, Action, Science Fiction, Horror, Zombies

My sixteen year old went to see I Am Legend last week and raved about it. Tonight, my brain hurt and I had time on my hands and a buddy from work offered to buy, so we took off for a little escapism.
First, though. . . PREVIEWS!
SEMI-PRO - Will Farrell has found his niche, […]

Into the Wild West

by @ 10:11 am. Filed under Reviews, Drama

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Summer sucks. That’s right. I said it. Not Summer Glau, the spunky actress of Firefly fame, but the actual season of Summer. It’s fucking hot. Especilly where I live, in the West San Fernando Valley, where […]

Well, it’s that time again. And while it might appear that way at the moment, I promise you that MCFTR is not solely in the business of reviewing fan conventions…

San Diego Comic Con: Day Two

by @ 8:32 am. Filed under Comics, Conventions

For day two of San Diego Comic Con, I had an itchy shutter finger, so today you’ll get lots of pictures. And yeah, a little text, but you’re just here to see the cool costumes anyway, right?

Comic Con International: A Teaser

by @ 2:23 pm. Filed under Comics, Conventions

Since we promised some sort of coverage of Comic Con, I thought I’d give everyone a little tease of what kind of exciting time the cast and crew of MCFTR experienced this past weekend. It’s been a busy few days since I got home, but I thought this might whet your appetite until I can get a review out proper. Enjoy, and stay tuned for more soon.

This Wednesday, Noel, Terry and I are going out west to meet Chad and are then heading to Comic Con. I’m sure we’ll have a full report by the time we get back for all you tardlets. Party ’till you’re gay.

MCFTR Hits the Road: Comic Con International!

by @ 8:52 am. Filed under Comics, Conventions

Tomorrow, MCFTR cofounders Bobby, Terry, and I will hop on a plane and head to Los Angeles to meet up with fellow MCFTR cofounder Chad. A couple of days and a short drive later, and we’ll be at Comic Con International in San Diego, the biggest celebration of all things geek in the known universe. As the weekend goes by, we hope to be able to bring you reports, but at worst case scenario, we’ll have an overall report when we arrive back in town next week.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

by @ 12:37 pm. Filed under Reviews, Comics, Action, Science Fiction

One thing that seems to be a common observation about the first Fantastic Four movie was that the previews looked cool, but the movie sucked ass. When trailers for the second installment started popping up, people all over the world talked about how cool it looked, but I knew that much like its predecessor, it was going to be a flaming pile of shit…

Heart of Dorkness: Star Wars Celebration IV, Day 6

by @ 8:59 am. Filed under Star Wars, Tributes, Conventions

So I didn’t go to Celebration today.

I’m tired. I’m broke. And most importantly, there was nothing really going on today I wanted to see. So my CIV experience is over. It was a lot of fun.

There are a few things that I regret missing…

Heart of Dorkness: Star Wars Celebration IV, Day 5

by @ 7:23 am. Filed under Reviews, Star Wars, Tributes, Conventions

Okay, if you haven’t done so, go to www.StarWars.com and watch the trailer for the all new Clone Wars TV show. NOW.

You do it? Good. Wasn’t it cool? Well, again, cool being a relative term. I saw two big panels today at CIV, one involving the aforementioned Clone Wars cartoon, the other involving a man who is in many ways a walking cartoon…

Heart of Dorkness: Star Wars Celebration IV, Day 4

by @ 7:14 am. Filed under Reviews, Star Wars, Tributes, Conventions

Yesterday, I got to say Happy Birthday to Star Wars. Today, I get to say it to something more important.

My wife. It’s her birthday.

The fact that she was born exactly one day after A New Hope came out is both good and bad for her. Good, because I will never forget her birthday. Bad, because she will always know why…
