    I don’t know why, but six seasons in, and I still love this series. It’s crass, the characters are all over the place, but I still can’t get enough of it, and I still get happy when a new season starts (like it did a few weeks ago). Damn Gallaghers.

    I got completely burnt out on all super-hero shows at the start of the season, and just stopped cold turkey on everything I was watching (Flash, Arrow, Gotham). With the launch two weeks ago of Legends of Tomorrow, spinning off from Flash and Arrow, I got in the mood to watch this kind of stuff…

    After re-watching the Akira movie recently, I decided it was about time I revisit the original manga, which I don’t think I’ve re-read in a couple of decades – and that would have been the version that was published by Epic, colorized. I’m reading the B&W version this time, and I just blasted through the…

    Between a Rock and a Hard PlaceBreathe in, breathe out. Don’t let the panic set in. You’ve done this before, you can do it again. The last time you jacked in you got a lay of the land. This isn’t mission impossible. It’s just mission hard as fuck. Alarms are ringing, but you haven’t been…

    I have literally watched this movie dozens of times throughout my life – probably the film I’ve watched the most ever – but it had been quite a while since the last time. I still remember buying the first VHS release, and paying something like $50 or $60 for it – and that tape got…

    Continuing with my Katsuhiro Otomo marathon, Neo Tokyo is another anthology movie that was also first released in 1987 (same as Robot Carnival). This one only includes 3 shorts (and all together it’s only about 50 minutes long), but I’d say I enjoyed it more than Robot Carnival, especially the Otomo short, which is much…

    Following my recent Tarantino marathon, I’ve decided to do one for Katsuhiro Otomo, certainly one of my favorite creators of all time. I plan on watching all the movies that he’s directed – and that includes his participation in anthologies – as well as the ones he’s listed as screenwriter (Roujin Z, Metropolis). I kicked…

    After having watched the first 2 episodes of this, I can’t say it’s blowing me away or anything, but it’s the kind of series that my wife and I like to watch together (hidden mystery series, like Lost and Wayward Pines), and so we’re giving it a try. It’s got Sawyer, and Carlton Cuse (co-creator…

    When the first issue of this Rick Remender-written series came out, as I tried reading it, I really wasn’t feeling it for some reason – surprising, considering how much I like so much of Remender’s stuff (Deadly Class, Low, Black Science), that I like Sean Murphy art, and that it has a sci-fi cyberpunk-ish setting.…

    I don’t tend to play a lot of strategy games – especially not on PC – but as soon as Invisible, Inc. was announced I was interested in it. It’s no secret that I’m sucker for spy-related stuff, and I’m also a huge fan of the games that Klei Entertainment has been putting out (it’s…
