The internet is a funny thing. It makes expressing yourself almost too easy. It also makes it easy to forget that what you’re writing actually is being read by lots and lots (and lots) of people.

Movie Review: Watchmen
Here’s my two cents, for what it’s worth. For all of everything going on in this movie, that might or might not have made you feel like you’d been betrayed by your own kind, especially if you were a Watchmen fan since the beginning, the movie made the comic book accessible to the millions it might not otherwise have reached. Okay. That’s a little more than two cents, but we’re in a recession here, and we must allow for fluctuations in the market.

Dollhouse: Grey Hour

We begin tonight’s show with Echo acting as midwife, the mother to be pushing and screaming that she wants to “forget” (specifically, forget the pain of giving birth).

Full Story »Auto Pilot: A Review of the Castle Pilot Script
by Josh Roessler If it’s true that everything old eventually becomes new again, Castle might very well have a long life ahead of it. Like Diagnosis Murder and the Father Dowling Mysteries, Castle uses the tried and true TV formula of taking someone from a sort-of related profession — or not — and having them solve crimes. Because, you know, anybody can do that. [...]

A review of Watchmen By Sonia Aurora Because I like to keep my nerd-geek street cred, it was imperative that I read the Watchmen tome before the film, to be able to revile or revel in what Zack Snyder and Co. translated cinematically. Related Stuff:

by John Zakour – The big news in the WoW World is that Patch3.1 is in test realms; which means it can go live soon. Of course soon translates to any Tuesday within the next 3-6 weeks or months.
Full Story »Abede Lovelace: City of Walls
I met Abede Lovelace and Shaun Noel at this year’s New York Comicon where they were promoting their comic, City of Walls. The series is the story of three kids growing up in Kowloon City, an isolated and independent city formed by many conjoined buildings.
After the convention, I had the chance to talk with Abede, the comic’s creator and artist, about City of Walls and the plight of American comics.

By Lisa Fary
The first album I bought that my parents truly hated was Pearl Jam’s Ten. They hadn’t been fans of Vanilla Ice or New Kids, but I like to think that at least Mom, having lived through her own pre-teen infatuation with The Beatles, had understood those lapses in musical judgment.

There are a few buzzwords that should clue you in that something is probably pseudoscientific crap. “Energy”, “natural”, “holistic”, “Oprah”. And you can add “toxins” to that list as well.

By Sabrina Boyer
I love this season. There’s Riley (I know he’s not a hit for everyone, but he’s a good guy), Adam, Tara, Parker, and the Initiative. Professor Walsh. But there’s also Sunday. The big bad vamp that almost takes Buffy.

The only couple I was excited to see reunited in this ep was Sawyer and Hurley. They belong together like Han and Chewie. I want to see them get in their Millennium Volkswagen and save the Dharma Initiative from Ben and Richard. Juliet can be Princess Leia. Kate can go dance in Jabba’s palace and get eaten by a rancor.

I’m afraid this might come as bit of a shock, but there was a Bad Dad on Heroes this week. I know, I know, what are the odds? It’s shocking that they would exploit that. (This show? Exploitative? Never!) Brace yourselves, we’re in for a rough patch here.
Entophilezzz! The Cutest Bugs Ever!
The only time I get stereotypically girly is when a bug invades my space. They’re creepy, they’re crawly, and they haunt my dreams. I don’t like bugs.
